LAST OF MAY.

In the mystical dim of the temple
In the dream haunted dim of the day,
The sunlight spoke soft to the shadows
nd said: With my gold and your gray
Let us meet at the shrine of the Virgin,
And ere her fair feast pass away,
Let us weave there mantle of glory
To deck the last evening of May"
The tapers were lit on the altar.
With garlands of lilies between,
And the steps leading up to the statue
Flashed bright with the roses red sheen;
The sungleams came down from the heavens
Like angels, to halo wthe scene,
And they seemed to kneel down with the shadows
That crept to the shrine of the Queen
The singers, their hearts in their voices,
Had chanted the anthems of old,
And the last trembling wave of the Vespers
On the far shores of silence had rolled.
And there-at the Queen Virgins altar
The sun wove the mentle of gold.
While the hands of the twilight were weaving
A fringe for the flash of each fold.
And wavelessIy. in the deep silence,
Three banners hung peaceful and low
They bore the bright blue of the heavens,
They the pure white of the snow
And beneathAthem fair children were kneeling,A
Whose faces with graces aglow
Seemed sinless, in land that is sinful,
And woeless. in life full of woe.
Their heads wore the veil of the lily,
Their brows the wreath of the rose,
And their hearts, like their 1utterless banners,
Were stilled in holy repose.
Their shadowless eyes were uplifted,
Whole glad gaze would never disclose
That from eyes that are most like the heavens
The dark rain of tears soonest flows
The banners were borne to the railing,

The young and the pure and the fair

For love Of Chrsts Mother to wear

You still shame the faith Of the old,
All. love! simple love Of the little.
You still warm the love of the cold,
And the beautiful God who is WANDERING
Far out i'll the worlds drearv world
Finds home in the hearts of the children
And a rest with the lambs of the fold
Swept voice, was it waited from heaven
Heard you ever the sea when it sings.
Where it sleeps on the shore in the rtght-tfrl.e
Heard you ever the hymns the breeze brings
From the hearts of a thousand bright summers,
Heard you ever the bird when She SPRINGS
To the clouds, till she seems 20 be only
a song Of a shadow on wings?
Came voice; and an Ave Maria
Rose out of heart rapture-thriIled.
And in the embrace of its music
The souls of d thousand lay stilled
A voice with the tones of an angel
Never flower such a sweetness distilled,
1t faded away-but the temple
With its perfume of worship was filed.
Then back to the Queen Virgins altar
The white wells swept on, two by two;
And the hottest halo of heaven
Flashed out from the ribbons of blue
And they laid down the wreaths of the roses
Whose hearts were as pure as their hue;
All they to the Christ the truest
Whose loves to the Mother are true.
And thus. in the dim of the temple.
In the dream haunted dim of the day.
The angels and Children of Mary
Met ere their Queens feast passed away,
Where the sungeams knelt down with the
shadows,
And wove with their gold and their gray
A mantle of grace and of glory
For the last lovely evening of May

THE rwo-FoLD MAY.

BY REV. PATRICK CRONIN.
Thy merry welcome gladstone May
The wild birds all are sweetly singing,
And every village heart today
Is joyous where thy flowers are springing.
Oh where hast thou been all the year?
Day dreaming in thy home of roses?
Or swelling youthful hearts anear
To breathe the sigh that love discloses?
Full brightly CLEANS thy robe of green
And soft thy young cheek freshly glowing;
The wild flowers all proclaim thee Queen
And crown thy golden tresses flowing.
Oh make thy home no mare afar;
Wen wreathe thee here a fairy fountain,
And light it with the evening star
When twilight steals adown the mountain.
Remain the lonely home to cheer;
Remain the gloomful path to brighten;
Remain to dry the mourner's tear
And many a weary heart to tighten.
All, sweetest May, whose pleasures bring
My wandering thoughts to hours long persisted
Where. oh. where is my lost spring,
The friends 1 loved, the hopes cherished?
Alas they come not in the breeze,
With merry laugh or blowing rosesI
Nor in the flow'ring orchard trees,
Where mute at eve the bird reposes.
Another May then will 1 WOO,
Another purer. rarer maiden;
My springtime hopes, aht she'll renew,
And soothe this heart with sorrow laden
Her songs breathe not the purple wine.
Her roses bloom to wither never;
Her joy, her love- are not like thine.
To please awhile, then pain forever.
To yonder dome of starry blue.
Where sweetly dwells this Queen of Ocean,
Shall hence arise my song anew,
Shall hence ascend my souls devotion.
And She this restless heart of clay
VIII sweetIy soothe beyond all other;
And she shall be my fadeless May
Mary Jesus Virgin Mother!

The essence of lying is in deception. not in
words. lie may be told by silence, by equivoca-
ton, by the accent on syllable. by glance of
the eye attaching a peculiar significance to sell
tence; and all these kinds of lies are worse and
baser by many degrees than lie plainly worded;
so that no form OF blind conscience is so far sunk
as that which comfororts itself for having de-
ceived, because the deception was by gesture or 81
lence instead of utterance-Ruskin

If you believe that nature is hostile and God
has been unjust go off and commune with your
heart and see if it is not your sins or follies
that wreck your lives rather than society, nature.
or God. The conclusion to which the greatest
men of human history have come is this-that God
Is love.

1t is vain thought to flee from the work that
God appoints u.s. for the sake of finding greater
blessing to our own souls. as if we could choose
for ourselves where we shall find the fulness of the
Divine Presence instead of seeking it where alone
it is to be found, in loving obedience-George
