Roses, both white and red ones,
Violets, drenched with dew;
And, oh. but the South is bOnny!
And, oh, but it's skies are blue
But | sigh sometimes for the Northland
Where lakes and streams CONCEAL;
For the red and white roses your smooth
checks hold,
And the swift feet shod with steel!
Blue glories and white narcissus,
And all of the fields a-bloom!
Sweet, sweet, are the wind-tlung petals;
But. oh, for the Northland bruno!
For the slopes all white and cleaning,
For your pouting lips and red,
For the glad, glad, Tilt of your laughing
voice,
And two on "A coasting sled!
The creak OF Frosty aXles
Borne through the clear, cold air,
For shrub and tree all frosty white
Like locks of AN ancients hair:
For drifted snow in sheltered spots;
But more than all for you!
And the steelshod flight through the halls
of night.
Meath the star-ctched vault and blue!

The pature of the Scots has beer
likened to the cold mist and granite
OF their native hills, and perhaps with
truth; and yet it must be warm in the
hearts of people whose eyes grow
dim with tenderness when they sing
the songs that were born over a CEN
tury ago in the love-warm heart that
thrilled not only for the mighty Wal
lace and noble Bruce, but also for the
little dying field mouse whose fright
ened heart ceased beating at his feet.
Burns was the voice of a silent peO-
pie, giving expression to the emotions
they hide under a cold exterior. And
how much colder and grayer the old
Galloway land would seem without the
memory of Robert Burns, who may be
likened to a glowing rose growing up
on the gray rocks a rose that will
never die, for to be forgotten is the
only death.-From The Rose and the
