When the Girls Wore Calico.

And these when mode, with dsspot ways,
Leads woman captive at its whim,

When girls wore simple calico.
Within the barn by lantern light,
Through many a reel, with tying feet
The boys and madens danced at night
To fiddlcd measures shrilly sweet;
And merry Teyels were they. though
The girls were gcwned III calico.
Across the flooring rough and grey
The gold Of scattered chat was spread,
And long festoons Of clover hay

Who with me will far afield,
Seek the need the meadows yield,
Sweetnesses and secTecies
To The laggaTd unrevealed?
viii lead you by a way,
Sheltered from the open day,
Where, the tranquil season long,
Choiring birds OF song delay.
BY and by we shall behold
Where the spacious hills are rolled
. Surge on surge 10 woody crests,
Harmonies in green and gold
There shall we abide awhile,
Stretched upon some grassy isle,
Having laid aside unrest,
Seeing all the world a-smile.
Intimate and hidden things
In the whirr Of gauzy wings
Shall be told Us: We shall learn
Subtle blossom-whisperings
What has ever been before
IncomInunicahle lore
out OF Gods wide nature-boolC
We shall read, and shall adore.
Having been upliited thus
We shall bear away with us
Something with a CLEAN divine
Both benign and beauteous.
And though halcyon days depart
And the singing storm-winds start,
For our sOlace and our JOY
We shall hold il fast at heart.

Summer,s oNersouI.

o, earth, thou hast not any wind which blows
That is not music. Every weed OF thine,
Pressed rightly. flows in aromatic wine;
And every humble hcdgerow flower that grows,
And every little brown bird that doth sing,
Hath something greater than itself, and bears
A loving word to every living thing
Albeit it holds the message unlwares-
All shapes and sounds have something which is
not
OF them. A spirit broods amid the grass;
Vague outlines of the everlasting thought
Lie in the melting shadows as they pass;
The touch of an Eternal Presence thrills
The breczes OF the sunset and the hills.

The simmer of the light amid the leaves.

And show Us things which seers and sages saw.
In the grey eafth's green dawn something doth
stir,
Like organ hymns within us and doth awe.

history of the Rhine-lands in the days of

which is good, but the finest of the work
is in the short stories which follow. There
is a grim humor and grimmer tragedy in
