An Autumnal Idyl.

Nature now dons her regal splendor-
The feathered minstrel bands attend her
To celebrate her festival!
Her glorious charms inspire, enthrall!
TO eve and listening ear attent
They make appeal most eloquent.
The vauted, bright. cerulean skies,
Cloud -decked with iridesCent dyes
The gorgeous tints, when fades the
light
The jeweled canopy Of night
The stately. silent sOlitudes-
The grand. ancestral, leafy woods
wild flowers of variegated hue
Crimson and gold, pink, purple, blue
The dainty fragrance they exhale,
Like incense. flooding field. copse, dale
Mountain and valley, bosky dell
All WOO us with their mystic spell!
While humming bird. bee, butterfly
With insect tribes that fit the sky.
Unite to swell the choral song,
Which the glad. echoing hills prolong!
Put not with joyous sight or sound,
Merely autumnal days abound;
Theirs the rich products Of the soil.
And luscious fruits and golden grain
Inspire the reapers' glad refrain!

Sweet Cupid sat on n messy bank,
With tear in his round, blue eye,
His wings were draggled with silver dew,
And his culver and bow flung by,

And honeybee slipped at his dmple lip,
And thought it an opening rose,
"Not an arrow went to its mark today,
l wasted them ALL" he sighed

And must braid my locks OF gold.

Or the woods where the thrushes sing
Do we hear the patter of naked feet,
Or the sweep Of an airy wing.

And her hat with its dropping plume,
And cluster of vclvcty violets blue
From his breast to shed perfume.
He has donned her veil with its bor-
dored edge,
And her gloves of the palest gray,
And hides his bow in her fluffy fan
Before he goes out to slay.
He has clipped his wings and braided mis-
curls,
But beware of his rougish eyes,
For sly little Cupid is still the same
In spite OF his new disguise.

The Greed of the Lion,


The creed of the lion is as old as the
lion, and as young as the cub that
plays
With the tasseled jaw and the sharpened
claw and the tail of the mUttled
maze.
The creed of the lion Is to feed the lion
and the jungle knows his roar,
And 1t knows the glare of the eyes that
flare when the lips are thirst for
gore!
The creed of the lion is good for the
lion, and that's as 1t ought to be;
For under the law of the jaw and tbs
paw and the trail and the jungle tree
The lion must live and the lion must
have and the jungle knows his right,
And 1t knows the cry when the whelps
defy the creed and the law of might.
The creed Of the lion is the will Of the
lion. and back Of the will the claw;
And back of the paw anu the jungle law
the thirst for gore in the jaw.
For what is a king if he be not a king?
and strange if it should befall
That under the swing of the jaw of the
king there came not death at all!
There came not darkness unto those
little and weak and light
Who bend their knee at the jungle tree
and ask for the law of right;
Earn it and ask 1t first, then go, out on
the trail to strike
Fools to have thought that their service
had bought the freedom of like for
like!
The creed Of the lion is as old as the
lion. and as yourg as yesterday
To give the least that the law will give,
and take the nest away.
AS old as the lion, but as blind as the
cub that follows the trail of years,
And thinks it is free till II comes to the
tree of Common and King and
Peers!
