Some Stray Verses
Little Brown Hands.

They drive home the cows from the pas
turc,
Up through the long. shady lane.
Where the quail whistle loud i'm the wheat
That are yellow with ripenlng grain.
They find i'm the thick. waving grasses.
Where the scarlet-ipped strawberry
grows:
They gather the earliest snowdrops
And the first crimson buds of the rose.
They toss the hay in the meadow:
They gather the elder bloom white.
They find where the dusky grapes pdrpit
In the Soft-tinted october light.
They know where the apples hang rpcst
And are sweeter than Italy $ wines;
They know where the fruit hangs the
thckcst
on the thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate seaweeds
And build tiny castles of sand:
They pick up the beautiful sea shells
Fairy barkS that have drifted to land;
They wave from the tall, rocking tree
tops.
swings.
And at night time are folded in slumber
BY song that FOND mother sings
To those who toll bravely are strongest
| The humble and poor become great.
And from these brown-handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state.
! The pen of the author and Statesman-
| The noble and wise of the land
| The sword and the chisel and palette
! Shall be held in the little brown hands

MATCHES.

1t was found a few years ago that

larger. though exact statistics cannot
be given because treasury returns of
the imports of matches convey no idea
Of the number brought into the country
which is certainly large. The foreign
matches are not so cheap as ours. but
for one reason or another there is
considerable demand for them.

Where all the scented night he lay,
And on the track of sunrise sped
In haste to greet the coming day.
The branching heather hardly bent
Her blooms beneath his flying feet.
As forth upon the wind ne went
With step as silent and fleet
Till on Cairn Tual's summit bare
He rested with the world below.
And saw the clouds his shoulders wear
With the first fires OF welcome glow:
While all the armies of the morn
Their crimson banners forward flung,
And in the starless west forlorn
A single splendid planet hung.
And ever broader grew the light
Yet still the deeper valleys slept:
Round the last strOngholds of the night
The mists fantastic warriors crept.
III Turk to Tonnes called: and straight
Their ridges flushed with hosy flame.
And through the mountains eastern sat,
Smiling the royal morning came.
Far off he saw the haunted seas.
