Thought.

Tis said that evry thought, though it may be
Harbored within the mind but for the space
OF one brief second, unmistakably
Upon the soul will leave a lasting tracer
A thought-a fleeing thought-do we control
The vagaries and fancies of our brains?
Are we at liberty to stem the roll
OF preconceived ideas? He who gains
No comfort from these pictures of the mind,
Who seeks no solace from the great to be.
Is desolate indeed All, none more blind
Than they who, having eyes, refuse to see
The mechanism of a human brainl
What could be subtler. more intense, than
this
The sounding board of life's electric chain.
Whereon as they shall leap the dark abyss
OF ignorance and pretense the thoughts which
fill
Our very lives arc mirrored-anchored wait
For some expression of the parent will
To solve them into an existent state.
We do not birth our thoughts. Transmission
shows
When sympathy, the unexplained, fast grows,
Increasing as our feet press toward the goal.
ALI if the soul-the sensitive-shall take
The impress of each thought, God grant that
May be immune from any which might make
Disfiguring scars! From far futurity
Clean stars of promise, rays of hope which
light
The pathway, and we stretch our hands.
To the unseen for guidance through the night
To clearer truths and glorious summer lands.

A few years ago, during a severe ''spell"

and said:
Il saw iciclcs on my peach trees this

whole business for $25.
A citizen took him up on that PROPOSE
