told In The Young Lutheran.
A gentleman standing looking at the
grand Niagara Falls saw an eagle swoop
down upon a frozen lamb encased in a
floating piece Of zee. The eagle stood
upon 1t as it was "drifting'' toward
the rapids. Every now and then the
eagle would proudly lift his head TITO
the air to look around him, much as
TO say: II am drifting on toward danger
but ] know what I am doing; l will fly
away and make good my escape before
ii IS too late"
When he neared the falls he stopped
and spread his powerful wings and leaped
for his flight; but alas! while he was
feastlng on that carcas his feet had
frozen to It's fleece.
He leaped and shrieked and beat upon
the ice with his wings until the ice-frozen
lamb and eagle went over the falls and
down into the chasm and darkness be
low.
Boys. do you sec a lesson to be learned
from this story? What a picture this
s of any and every one who has begun
to do evil. intending TO stop before he
goes too far
How many boys indulge in bad ab1ts.

DAYS Gore By.

Oh. the the days gone by: oh. the days
The apples in the orchard and the path
way through the rye,
The chirrup of the robin. and the whistle
of the quail
As he piped across the meadow sweet as
any nightingale
When the bloom was on the clover and
the blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over in
the days gone by.
In the days gone by when my naked
feet were tripped
BY the honeysuckle tangles where the
water lilies dipped,
And the ripple of the river Tipped the
moss along the brink,
Where the placid eye and lazy footed
cattle came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless Of
the truants Maynard cry.
And the splashing of the swimmer in
the days gone by.
Oh. the days gone by! Oh. the days
The music of the laughing lip, the luster
of the eye.
The childish faith In fairies and Alad-
dins magic ring,
The simple. soul reposin. glad belief in
everything
When life was like a, story. holding
neither sob nor sigh
In the golden, olden glory of the DAYS
gone by.

Don't whine

You may still put the foe to flight;
Up. with a blow for the right.
Don't whine.
Have they left you behind in the race?
Don't whine!
Defeat is not disgrace
You may yet win foremost place;
On, on to the chase!
Don't whine!
Is Poverty visiting YOU?

She courts who has nothing to do.
But with toll unremitting and true
Her calls will be short and few.

But smile as you pass along.

THE PARTING OF THE WAYS.

Thus far. my calm-eyed friend, thus far
together
Along the devious road
Through the broad belts OF shade and

And now before us hidden in the golden,
Luminous autumn haze,
The dreadful moment crouches unbe-

The parting Of the ways.

Ere yet week be gone;
Though our reluctant feet may shun and

Silent 1t presses on.
The threads Of life, 80 strangely inter-
twisted,
Shall be unwoven soon;
Passing like down. blown where the night

Beneath the inconstant moon.
We have been friends. Perhaps. indeed a
glimmer
OF something tenderer still
In either heart, now brighter and now

In shy, uncertain life
But who shall stoop ana pluck anu "e"A

distance
Whereof the poets sing.

The old world never knew; 90.
Love roams no more among green uellS'
where daisies

You are no Hero, and I no Leander.
The world that girds US round
Has no room now tor words that melt and
wander
In vague melodious sound.
Yea, though l loved you as the Hebrew
peasant
The dark-eyed maid he won.
We canno tempt the Laban OF our
Till the long task be done.
For us no shadow on LIES solemn dial
Goes back to give US peace;
There is no resting place in the stem
Until the heart-throbs cease;
We cannot hold Time fast, and bid MIN

When shades fall fasi ana douots anu

Through all your mortal seattle,
NV voice may blend for you in that grand
chorus

And surely all my life must be more ten
