pie see nature clothed in white. Last
night the birds went to roost con-
tented and happy and this morning
they find their storehouses have all
been closed and like sad and detected
mourners many are perched about
in the trees while others are chant
ing their hymns of joy and praise,
and all seem to be quietly awaiting
for the great king of earth and sky
to unlock the granery and give his
