ruined fortunes and with the burden of incurable
disease, developed through exposure and depriva-
ton, they turned again with brave hearts to their
chosen pursuits. To attempt to live by poetry,
in any period, is accounted by the practical mind
to be a species of unmitigated folly; to devote
ones self to poetry at a time when the desolation
of war rests upon the land and all its people, as
did these poets, is a remarkable illustration of
the compelling force of high ideals. Out of the
ashes of their early hopes and enthusiasms they
gathered a few live sparks and nursed them to a
noble flame. Their achievement could not be great,
as we understand that term is the broad realms
of art, but it is great enough to form an imper-
ishable monument to their broken, suffering lives
that every lover of poetry holds in reverent re-
gard. The sequel of their life story gives peculiar
force to what Timrod wrote in his "Vision of
Poesy" of the poets mission and reward:
"Thus shall his songs attain the common breast,
Dyed in his own life's blood, the sign and seal,
Even as the thorns which are the martyrs crest,
That do attest his office, and appeal
Unto the universal human heart
In sanction of his mission and his art"

St. Peter was just opening it. AS it swung back
the venerable warden asked the name OF the new
arrival, and proceeded to look up his record IN a

around him and scratched his head, but he did
not advance toward the open gate.

THE HOME CIRCLE
Aspects of the Pines.

Tall, somber, grim, against the morning sky
They rise, scarce touched by melancholy airs,
Which stir the fadeless foliage ~dreamfully,
As if from realms of mystical despairs.
Tall, somber, grim, they stand with dusky CLEANS
Frightening to gold within the woodlands core,
Beneath the gracious noontides tranquil beams
But the weird winds of morning sigh no more.
A stiffness, strange, divine, ~ineffable,
Rroods round and DER them in the winds sur
cease,
And on each tinted copse and shimmering dell
Rests the mute rapture of deep-hearted peace.
Last, sunset comes-the solemn Joy and might
Borne from the west when cloudless day de-
clines-
Low, futelike breezes sweep the waves of light,
And lifting dark green tresses of the pines,
Till every lock is uminous-gently float,
Fraught with hale odors up the heavens afar
To faint when twilight on her virginia. throat
Wears for a gem the tremulous vesper star.

The Efficacy of Prayer.

At a prayer-meeting in Mississippi during the
Civil War a Presbyterian brother offered this
prayer:
90 Lord, we thank thee for all thy boundless
goodness for this rich and beautiful land of
ours; for our brave women and valiant men. We
thank thee that we are fully able to take care
of ourselves on land; but, o Lord, we do most
humbly implore thy assistance when the Yankees
send those internal g~unboats to destroy u.s." !,

Ten Commandments for the Mother.
1. Be healthy.
2. Be joyful.
3. Be beautiful.

D. De nrm WITHOUT SEVERITY.
6. Do not stint with your mother love. Tender
ness is not efeminacy. And just because life
often is cold and hard and cruel, a sunny, bright,
glad childhood is a blessing for the whole life.
z. Discipline as life disciplines. It does not
scold, it does not plead, it does not fly into a
passion. It simply teaches that every deep has
it's adequate effect.
s. Do not laugh at the little SORROWS and pains
of child life. Nothing wounds a child more than
to find ridicule where it looked for sympathy.
9. In illness and anger protect, nurse, cherish,
and cheer as much as in your power. And do not
weaken your vitality by giving way to anguish and
sorrowing. What can be done must be done as
well as possible.
10. Do not forget the happiness of having a
child include the duty of smoothing his way in the
world-of endowing him with health, gladness,
courage, vigor; of finally letting him live his own
life freely and in his own way. Your say you
have had in advance, for your sorrowing was hap
piness and your sacrificing joy.-Translated for
Harper's Bazaar from Die nlustrirte Frauenzei-
tung.

Prolonging the Honeymoon.

Most love stories come to an end when the hon
eymoon commences, but I think it is the place
where the best love story of life ought to begin. I
have no sympathy with the notion that the first
moon of married life has the most honey in it.
True love, like true religion, grows sweeter every
year. If you have married the wrong woman,
bear the fruit of your misiudgment like a man.
Being married, you are bound by every law to
pull together; and if you are hitched wrong,
pull your best anyway. You sunnosed she was all
honey. Now you find her a jar of vinegar-but
are you quite sure you are all honey? Here are
some rules which, if adopted at the beginning of
married life, will make every moon a honeymoon:
Be absolutely true to your wife. Never give her the
slightest cause to be jealous. The Bible saws:
Jealousy is cruel as the grave" Some one has
well said: "Take care that your hearts don't
need much washing, for they may perhaps need
wringing also if they do"
A husband viii keep his wife's love USUALLY r.
he keeps his own. Most women can say: ct loved
him because he first loved me-" Love is horn
of love, and grows with the habit of it. He who
rests content with the love received at betrothal
will soon lose that. If the counting keeps m the
honeymoon will never be over.-Exchanpe

The Progressive Farmer by special permissionl
The representative poets of the South are Tim
road, Hayne, and Lanier. Poe is commonly re-
garded as a Southern poet, but his relation to
the South is accidental rather than essential. His
poetry in its themes, color and atmosphere Is
hardly more native to the South than to any other
part of the United States. In fact, he is the least
local of all our poets. But the poetry of Timrod,
Hayne, and Lanier could have been produced no
where except in the South. They represent the
most distinctive qualities of the Southern char
acfer. its inc cfi7airo1s sentiment, Us political
and patriotic fervor, its breadth and hospitality.
Nowhere else have we so clear an expression of
the spirit of ante-bellum days as in Timrod and
Hayne. Nature was loved by these poets with a
deep interpretative sympathy, and the nature of
their poetry is always Southern in it's aspects;
their landscapes and atmosphere are true to the
Southland, filed with the perfume of iessamine,
vocal with the mocking-bird's song, and aglow
with the heat of an ardent sun.
Not only because these poets are so thoroughly
representative of their section should their poetry
be read and studied, but for its inherent poetic
interest and value. Each of these poets made
contributions of permanent worth to our national
treasury of song, and one of them wrote poetry
of an original and unique quality, the power and
beauty of which will pretty certainly be recog-
nized increasingly with the progress of the years.
No list of American poets can be complete with
out the names of Timrod, Hayne, and Lanier, and
no school serves the interests of it's pupils proper
ly that fails to introduce them to these poets with
the other accepted poets of our land.
The lives of these three poets constitute the
most pathetic story in the history of our litera-
ture. or perhaps of any literature. Favored in
youth with the fairest prospects afforded by the
centers of Southern culture, they were suddenly
enthraIled by circumstances the most unfavorable
and forbidding for the realization of their JOY
Gus and high hopes of art. At the first sound
of the guns in Charleston harbor they threw them
selves into the awful conflict of the Civil War,
and no soldier ever served his country and his
conscience more periodically and devotedly than
did these young poets, each in his own possible
way. And when the bitter conclusion came, with
