pia" is a classic and Is not written In
the dialect which characterizes most
poems on the Negro. 1t gives q reca-
pitulation Of the deeds Of the race in
all ages.
It begins:
Thou sovereign queen Of Afrios sunny
strands,
I smite my Tyre to sing thy praise unsuns
In strains far sweeter than seraph's
bands
A lay deep in my bosom's core Ia sprung.
Fair queen. although my years az yet be
young.
Deep thoughts and musings of thy history
old,
Where odes and fiery epics long have
hung,
Live centuries In my immortal soul
And strike sweet Lydian measures on my
harp Of goldl
This ode consists Of nineteen Spen-
cerian stanzas, and into 1t the author
pours his soul. A perusal Of it thrills
one with pride for his race and ami.
mates his soul to put forth greater eff
forts.
He pays the following beautiful
tribute to the virtue and charms Of
women:
call thee angel Of this earth.
For angel true thou art
In noble deeds and sterling worth
And sympathetic heart.
!, therefore, seek none from afar
For what they might have been,
But sing the praise Of those which are,
That dwell on earth with men.
This young versifier Of the higher
life of the race Is paid the following
tribute by William Stanley Braith-
waite in the introduction to '"The Syl-

KEEP The GARDEN
FIT ALL WINTER

'sWho loves his garden, keeps his
Eden,' the Hollyhock Woman heard
a voice say as she bent and united
the paper wrappings around her late
chrysanthemums. She knew it was
the tall clergyman who preached in a
little church in the woods at the edge
of the village.
Good morning to you," she said.
IF you had not seen my chrysanthe-
NUNS in bloom, would you have be-
Iieved that 1 could keep them alive
until after the middle of the month?
1T is hope and faith that keep the
soul alive" said the aged preacher
1T is my experience that it is better
to find the secret of perennial hop
ing when one is young than to dis
cover a gold mine. The first viii re-
main with you, and you can get pleas
ure from your garden although winter
is lowering; but the second may be
stolen and spent and you will have
nothing left but vain regrets"
Il like to keep some plants alive
in my garden all the year around"
returned the Hollyhock Woman, hand
ing him bouquet. "The common
pansies, the sweet alyssum, the
minis and verbenas will stay late II
they have little shelter. The hardy
chrysanthemums, the artem1slaS,
seem to enjoy the cold"
They have a fine fragrance, too.
But / see you do not leave them un-
protected. Those barrel slaves
shield them splendidly from the wind,
che newspapers make a thick blanket
at night, and / can believe that your
heaps of dried leaves and twigs from
the woods have purpose. Because
you care, have brought you a pres
emit"
The aged preacher handed it to her
over the fence. 1t was a small plant
with evergreen foliage, growing in a
clod of earth as large as her head.
Glistening white buds were beginning
to uncurl.
"How lovely; oh. how lovely" she
cried. what is it?''

er Of good-cheer, because have
found its blossoms on the darkest
days Of December"
Then the aged preacher put on his
broad brimmed hat and passed around
the corner before the surprised Holly
hook Woman had time to thank him
properly. She heard the village clock
strike and she knew it was near the
hour for the train to take her to, the
city. Quickly taking her coat, after
