To what extent we cannot tell.

not only nourish particular part oil

Twilight Reveries.

Twas the sweet, calm hour OF twilight,
More silent and still than the silence OF night;
The sky was filled with a crimson glow
That looked with a blush on the lake below;
Balmy zephyrs stirred the air
Nature breathed an evening prayer.
The day had been long and dreary;
My heart ached-I was weary,
And sat me down in skin near the shore.
The silence soothed my spirit, and DER
My weary heart there swept a soft, sweet strain
That fingered there-and fingered not in vain
The murmuring OF the water, soft and low,
Was fraught with tender memories OF long ago
Me thought knet me down at mothers knee
Where my heart forgot its sorrow, and was free
sat there idly drifting on,
While the twilight deepened-and was gone.

And the cherry blooms burst with snow,
And down underneath Is the lovliest nook,
Where the four leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for hope, and one is for faith,
And one is for love, you know;
And God puts another in for luck

But you must have hope, and you must have

You must love and be strong-and so,

The most durable paper is made by
a guild near Marking, China, which
supplies the government OF that En-
pire the leaves Of his official document.
Some of these are oyer thousand
years old. Fire proof paper made of
asbestos is another kind OF greater
durability. The drawback to them,
however for printing purposes, is that
although they will pass through fire
unscathed, they come out snow white,
without a trace of the printed letters
or writing that was on them.

The Living Creed.

And so the Word had breath, and wrought
With human hands the creed of creeds,
In loneliness Of perfect deeds,
More strong than all poetic thought;
Which he may read that binds the sheaf,
Or builds the house, or digs the grave,
And those wild eyes that watch the wave
In roaring through the coral reef.
