THE GIFT OF SONG
BY GEO. LINNEUs BANKS.

oI llNNhO6 bANkS
l have no jewels of the mine,
No riches of the common order,
My dwelling is not large nor fine,
My land simple garden border.
But / have that which even kings
Might envy through the ages long
A gift that from the godhead springs
The gift of song!
And with that gift, / feel that
Am rich beyond all human measure;
There's-not pain can pass me by,
But music turns it straight to pleasure.
The griefs. the doubts, the thoughts ol
harm,
Which to the mass Of men belong,
My harp OF many strings can charm
0, gift OF song!
When others say, ''The day is drear,"
The sun with me is shining fairly;
When others tell, "December's near"
l see June's roses blooming rarely.
The darkest cloud hath sunset tinge,
The tempest an Eolian tongue;
Everything turns on golden hinge,
Through gift of song
The soul attuned to silve'n sound
Becomes on earth here half immortal;
It hath wing seraphic found,
With which to soar to heavens portal;
1t hath subtle sense, past all
The comprehension of the throng-
A honey-cnp. unmixed with gall,
Sweet gift OF song

Yesterday Mr.. Gatewood caught
during the forenoon one trout weigh

pounds, one weighing five pounds and
two weighing three pounds, These
big fellows were in addition to his
usual luck in landing little fellows

Gatewood conforms strictly with

a pole and spoon. and experiments
as to the kind of bait the fish prefer
on the different days.
