Oh, the windy day lis a laughing day,
For the wind is funny fellow;
He rollicks and shouts when skies are
gray
And leaves are turning yellow
The pines. moment ago SO still,
Fling out their arms and laugh with
will,
Nodding their heads. as who should
say,
'"rhe old wind has an amusing way"
Oh. the windy day is singing day,
For the wind Is minstrel, stroliing
Thro' field and wood, with CHEEKY lay.
Insistent. sweet cajoling:
The strings of his harp are pine and
oak,
AS he chants his tale to the woodland
All, jewellers of old are they
When the minstrel wind begins to
play,
Oh. the windy day Is the Migrants
day,
For the wind Is comrade rover,
Whistling down the great highway
To every hill-road lover:
And whether he whistles or laughs or
sings.
Through every vagrant heart there
rings
The impelling. world-old call to stay
With the cofnrade wind forever and
aye. -Harpers.

Our All i'm All.
We are often weak and weary,
We are often faint and frau,
The eyes blurred with weeping,
And the lips are wan and pale;
But Christ is our strength and glad
nesS,
His love sustains the soul;
In the day of our utmost dearth an(
loss,
His love can make us whole.
We can never perish. holding
Fast TO His tender hand;
His care will lead us safely
Through all the desert land;
The blessed love of Jesus,
And the look in His gentle face.
Are cordial to the fainting.
Are full of light and grace.
Q Love divine. be ours,
In the nighttime and the day.
Forever with u.s. Jesus,
Remain our hope and stay:
Thine be the love that keeps us.
Ours be the love that clings,
Till we rest beneath thy banner.

The Swans Dinner Bell.

swans were introduced into the moat
