The lovely bountiful summer has pass

ties is here again. All the trees with
their lovely tints are vieing with each
other to make the landscape lovely for
us.
Sweet day, SO cool, so calm, SO bright,
The bridal feast of earth and sky,
The dews shall weep with us thy fall
tonight,
For thou too must die.
Twill soon be time to light the evening
fire,
To read good books, to sing
The low and lovely songs that breathe
Of the eternal spring.

Though young birds in flying fall,
Still their wings grow stronger,
And the next time they can keep
Up little longer.
Though the sturdy oak has known
Many blast that bowed her,
She has risen again and grown
Loftier and prouder.
If by easy work you beat,
Who the more will prize you?
Gaining victory from defeat,
That's the test that tries YOU.
Try harder the next time; you will
get stronger by trying once more; you,
will win. Take 81 can't" Out of your,
life and vocabulary and you can, and.
will win.

| Not long ago we heard big young
man speak cross to his mother, and yet
he has one of the most patient, loving,
gentle, ladylike mothers in the world.
Young man, be Kind to your mother;
she is the best and most faithful lover
the world will ever have for you. When
all others desert you, mother will re-
main true and believe in you. Show
that you appreciate mother by being
kind to her while she is alive. No love
as constant and faithful as mothers.
All, who shall say but that such love
Is the type Of His that made us all,
And that from the Kingdom up above, b
The eyes that note the sparrows fall,
| Watch with tendeIest, dearest care,
Der the incapable, weak and small,
Such is my faith, hope and prayer.
Love mother and befkind to her,
i Then among the beautiful pictures
| that hang on memory's wall,
| Will be one of a dear old mother,
| That seems the best of all.
