Autumn Leaves.

sat one day, disheartened and alone,
And idly watched the leaves the wind
had blown
Around my doorstep. All were dead
and dry,
Broken and trampled by the passersby
And to me came the thought, how use
less they,
Simply to fall to earth-and then decay,
Leaving the branches bare and desolate
AS lives are often left alone, by Fate.
And, while thought, the clouds came
one by one
Until a dark, gray mass, they hid the sun.
And then, my duties calling me away.
left my dreams-forgotten for the day.
That night a change took place upon the
earth,
Old Winter died, and Spring was given
birth;
The Autumn leaves which fell DER hill
and glade
Had nourished into life the tender blade.
And " hen tho morning sun looked ON
the scene,
he earth was clothed in beauteous, liv-
ing green.

IMMoRTELLEs.
On the wall of certain room below,
Is mirrored baby's grace,
And over il tied with ribbon of snow
Are imm Jrtelles brought from garden
know.
And they match with the little face.
The flowers grew in garden in Spain,
They were si born of the love of the tropi-
cal rain,
They were stamped with his face and
their fair mothers fame,
One day in the long ago.
The immortslles never grow old, but
The colors they won from the earth and
the rain
AS bright today, as soft and true,
AS if on the stalks where they nodding
grew,
Ia that wonderful garden in Spain.
My baby never grows old, they say
In the land where the seraphs dwell,
And the shadowed face with it's curling
hair
Like one sent from Heaven seems pris-
oned there,
or the wonders OF God to tell.
O living flowers in your silken hand!
o mIrrored face on the wall!
There is never a voice OF earth SO loud,
And never so gay is the trifing crowd,
But you call to me over it all.
