story illustrating the differences Of

emigrant said cow he was permitted

cause the natives were satisfied that
he was an evil-minded abolitionist.
The Kansas people evened up by tying
a bear on their side Of the river and il

Wake Ne a Song.
Hale"

Out of the silences wake me a song.
Beautiful, sad. and soft and low;
Let the lOVeliest music sound along.
And wing each note with a wall of
woe
Dim and drear.
And hopes last tear,
Out of the silences wake me a hymn.
Whose sounds are like shadows, soft
and dim.
Out of the stiffness in your heart
a thousand songs are sleeping there
Wake me a song, thou child of art!
The song of hope in a last despair,
Dark and low.
A chant of woe.
Out of. the stiffness, tone by tone,
Cold as a snowflake, low as a moan.
Out of the darkness flash me a song,
Brightly dark and darkly bright;
Let 1t sweep as a lone star sweeps along
The mythical shadows Of the night.
Sing it sweet,
My soul to greet
Where nothing is drear, or dark. or dim,
And earth-song scars into heavenly
hymn.

liked II so much that he wrote, asking
the anonymous one to call, and was
electrified at the appointed hour to find
