THE LAND OF LET'S PRETEND.
(Bohemian.)

(Bohemian.)
Over the hill from Babyville,
And Just around the bend,
We came one day to the town of Play,
In the Land of Let's Pretend.
You were a queen in a crown of green
That we made of daisy stems,
With blossoms too entwined all through
For they were the royal gems.
Imperial pride was caught beside
Your scorn when you'd condescend
To swing in state on the backyard gate
In the land of Let's Pretend
Full many mile in regal style
We rode your kingdom Ger.
While dog and a cart played we'll the
part
OF the royal coach-and-four.
And no one dared or even cared
Their sovereign to offend.
So never a word of doubt was heard
In the land of Let's Pretend
At wars alarm your call to arms
Changed broOmsticks into steeds.
And valiant hordes with wooden swords
Rushed on to mighty deeds:
Rushed on to close with the kingdom s
foes,
And the kingdoms flag defend.
Just word from you made all this
true
In the land of Let's Pretend.
Whenever you willed our cups were
glled
And fabulous feasts we're spread,
And niche In the wall was a splendid
hall
Where we danced with stately tread;
And many a heart, with your mystic
art,
You'd break-and. broken, mend
For you'd princes, too. who courted you
In the land of Let's Pretend.
With marvellous ease you conjured seas
From little, lettering streams,
And wonderful ships were floating
chips
Adrift in your realm of dreams.
An old gray stone was a glittering
throne
That I've seen you oft ascend,
Proclaiming good cheer to every ear
In the land of Let's Pretend.
In after years, Ger the Sea of Tears,
We sailed from the port of Then,
And we beached our scow on the shore
of Now,
In world of women and men.
And here, alas! no pageants pass,
No fairy serfs attend:
Your reign is o'er-you rule no more
In the land Of Let's Pretend.
All. what would we give could we but
live
Again in that glad empire.
Where a wish, a thought like a genie,
brought
Straightway the hearts desire;
Yet we never knew, as we journeyed
through,
That all those joys must end,
When you and 1 said a gay goodbye

Rest-only rest.

But God knows best;
And I have prayed-but vain have
been my prayers,
For rest-sWeet rest.

reap

weep

And so | cry weak and human cry,
So heart oppressed:
And so sigh weak human sigh,
For rest-sweet rest.

rhe prIest In the Confessional,

AS difficult and irksome as is the Of
flee of the priest in the hearing of con-
LESSONS, as regards the labor and IA
tigue of the body, comforting and con-
soling, beyond all that is the happiness
his soul experiences. The confessor
feels a supernatural strength of the
body and supernatural power of the
mind in the duties Of the confessional.
How quickly pass the happy hours,
and where is the good priest so eloquent
or so truly wise as within its holp pre-
cinsts?" Again and again he recog-
nizes g. power of thought and word not
his own when In the sacred tribunal,
and like the joy and consolation Of the
soul re reconciles to God. so all the
priests experiences likewise tell that
confession is something not of man,
but of God, our divine Lord, who
founded the church and who with his
own sacred person and power has so
wonderfully enriched her.-Bishop Col

Judicial "BuIIs.

Some excellent bulls are credited 20
William Arolin, who was a London pu-
lice judge in the '30s of the last GER
tury. He once remarked to counsel:
"If you can show precisely at what mo
ment the offense was committed anc
prove that the prisoner was not there
when he did it, he could not possibly
have done it." Then he sageiy added:

mon sense in q court of justice" Or Il
similar character was an axiom he once
delivered himself of, which has been
maliciously fathered on many other Oc-
cupants of the bench: IF ever there
