Follow it, follow it, Will O. the WisP,
And hurry away to the land
Where fairies and flowers and thistle

In a way would fain understand.
Gypsy wind, gypsy wind, play in the hair
OF a dear little maid whom I know,
And whisper her secrets 1 whisper to

And did she hold supple willow
wand in her slender hand and sing
to herself as she went away across
the far, far green hills around the
bend, past the place of the old cross
dog and beyond the house with the
red barn? What was it called to
her from the barn yard? Something
shrill and reproving. Little brother
said it was a guinea hen and he
started to mock the cry, Pot rack,
pot rack" till she put her hand
over his mouth and made him run
with her out of hearing.
Who were those strange people
they met on the road, a man and a
woman in a rickety cart, with a
cover to it and queer ragged table
clothes or something hanging out
to dry on the cover? The woman
wore red beads, and she had white
teeth, and when she laughed it
made the little girl afraid.
And what a wild dog it was that
ran under the wagon, shaggy and
furtive. The Little Girl had to
drive old Hero away from him two
or three times he wanted to fight
so badly.
And did they find bear tracks
along the soft green of the path
beside the laughing stream, or
maybe they were tiger tracks, you
never could tell.
Spring sunshine and the spring
wind and the green grass, and in
a shady place a whole flock of
spring beauties striped white and
pink and fairly af1utter with the
song of spring, and in the grass
little yellow stars and white ones,
fallen from the skies you told lit
tie brother. and he tried so hard
to believe you, didn't he, Little
Girl?

BEAUTY
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Copyright,

n n ETHINKS there is no greater work in life
WI Than making beauty. Can the mind conceive
One little corner in celestial realms
Unbeautifu, or dull or commonplace?
Or picture ugly angels lily clad?
Beauty and splendor, opulence and Joy
Are attributes of God and his domain,
And 80 are worth and virtue. But why preach
OF virtue only to the of men,
Ignoring beauty, till they think it sin?
Why, if each dweer this little globe
Could know the sacred meaning of that word
And understand its deep significance
Mems thoughts would form in beauty till their dreams
However humble: they themselves would grow
Godlike, BETTING such a fair estate
Let US be done with what is only good:
Demanding here and the beautiful
Lest, with the mind and eye earth unframed
We shall be i'll at when heaven is gained
