AFTER THE SINGER IS DEAD.

By Robert Louis Stevenson. Bright is the ring of words
 When the right man rings them, Fair is the fall of songs
 When the singer sings them. Stfll they are caroled and said On tho wings they are carried After the singer is dead
 And the maker buried. Low as the singer lies
 In the field of heather, Songs of his fashion bring
 The swains together. And when the West Is red
 With the sunset embers, The lover fingers and sings,
 And the maid remembers.

A CALL.

Far away from work and worry
 And the crowded walks of pain; From the foolish worlds turmoiling And the frenzied strife for gain, Happiness is softly calling
 Hark, her message, sweet and low: "Come away, leave care behind you" Weary Heart, why don't you goH Far away from sounding traffic
 And the crush of eallous throngs; From the sordid realm of Mammon, Author hand of countless wrongs, Is a lie in quaint old gardens,
 In the golden haunts of peace, Where the world shall be forgotten And the futile round shall cease!
