THE ROSE AND THE NIGHTINGALE.

The Roses heart is heavy with desire. And all her little leaves are tipped
 with flame,
 shame, And red with blushes for the rapturous
 fire Her fond dreams of the Nightingale
 inspire; For all the garden knows her secret
 aim, By the perfume in which she breathes
 his name And the bride beauty of her soft attire. Oh, when you find her, Nightingale,
 know, Some time between the twilight and
 the morn, Your joy will make the listening lilies
 glow; And you who in the dusk were so
 forlorn, Tn ecstasy of love will tremble so You will fall fainting on the cruel
 thorn. --E1sz Barker.

MY PRAYER.

Let me be true enough to meet each
 honest eye, Yet if a friend whose sorrowed heart has been undone Asks me for comfort where in truth
 there can be none, Then@let me grasp his gropdng hand
 and kindly lie. And if my neighbor does those things
 I think are ill, Let me not judge! Who knows what
 tangled, taunting skein Fate may have woven to have meshed
 his heart in pain Would I have soothed the evil knot
 with half his skill? Since I must play the game of life.
 this is my prayer, Though I may lose let me preserve
 smiling face, Let me not scorn the weak who falter
 in the race, Let me be mercifu1, let me play fair. Caroline Reynolds, in Los Angeles Graphic.
