 Robin had an invitation to accompa- ny one of the Mountain White boys home on his Christmas vacation, and accepted.S It was new experience Tor him, in 8 region that seemed almost as virgin as when Daniel Boone pene- trated this wilderness.

 Among Robins studies he took up
 poetical meter, and, to fix different
 varieties in memory, composed verses
 of suitable measure. These poet1cal
 effusions would never entitle their au.

 ! Backward to take your roaming way, l Gathering posies. Then are found the vio!ets blue
 And other blooms. the most not new; l It is tno soon. of course you knew, For red roses.
 How fresh and bracing is the air!

 The birds are hover1ng on the wing.
 How shrill they cnirp. how sweet they sing. | For now their matin hymn they sing
 | To high Heaven.
 To the soul that Is free from care
 Naught bat beauty is anywhere;
 In blooming May.

 For lights beyond.
