Knives should never be put away

heres to the blades, wrap in a piece
OF cloth and roll up in paper. TAX

THE RIVER OF LIFE.

THE RIVER OF LIFE.
TvHE more we live more brief appear
= Our life's succeeding stages.
A day to childhood seems a year
And years like passing ages.
TUE sfadsoms current of our youth
l. Ere passion yet disorders
Steals lingering like river smooth
Along Its grassy borders.
RUT as the careworn cheek grows wan
~ And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
WHEN joys have lost their bloom and
w breath
And life itself Is vapid
Why as we reach the falls Of death
Feel we its tide more rapid?
TT may be strange, yet who would change
l. Times course to slower speeding
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bcsoms bleeding?
HEAVEN gives our years Of fading
IL strength
1ndemnifying heetness
And those Of youth a seeming length,
Proportioned to their sweetness.

NO SONGS IN WINTER.
THE FIRST SNOWFALL.
.HE snow had begun in the gloam.


THE snow had begun in the gloam-
ing
And busily all the night
i Had been heaping field and high
With q silence deep and white
Every pine and fir and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl.
From sheds new rooted with Carara
Came chandeliers mufied crow.
The stiff rails softened to swans down.
And stu nuttsrsd down the snow.
I stood and watched by the window
The noiseless work Of the sky
And the sudden fiurries OF snowbirds.
Like brown leaves whiriing by.
! thought Of q mound in sweet Auburn
Where q little headstone stood
How the fakes were folding It gently.
A. did robins the babes in the wood.
Ep spoke our own little Mabel.
Saying, Father. who makes Il snowr'
And told Of the good All Father
Who cares for VI here below.
Again looked at the snowfall
And thought OF the leaden sky
That arched Ger our nrst great sorrow
When that mound was heaped 30 high.
I remembered tho gradual patience
That fell from that cloud-like snow.
Flake by fiake healing and hiding
The scar that renewed our woe.
And again to the child whispered.
1.-THE snow that hushed all.
Darling, the merciful Father
Alone can make It fall"
Then. with eyes that saw not. kissed her.
And she, kissing back. could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister
Folded close under deepening snow.

IN WINTER.

IN WINTER.
TVHE valley stream is frozen.
The hills are cold and bare.
And the wild white bees Of win
ter
Swarm in the darkened air.
I look on the naked forest.
Was 1t ever green In June?
Did 1t burn with gold and crimson
In the dim autumnal noon?
look on the barren meadow.
Was 1t ever heaped with hay?
Did It hide the grassy cottage
Where the skylark's children lay?
look on the desolate garden.
Is 1t true the rose was there
And the woodbine's musky blossoms
And the hyacinth's purple hair?
look on my heart and marvel
II love were ever Its own.
II the spring Of promise frightened
And the summer Of passion shone.
u the stem Of bliss but withered
And the root survives the blast?
Are the seeds Of the future sleeping
Under the leaves Of the past?
Al, yes. for thousand Apriis
The frozen germs shall grow
And the dews Of thousand summers
Wait In the womb Of the snow!
