Like bride full Of bushes when hnger-

A last look of her mirror at night ere she

When the shrines through the foliage are
cleaning half shown,
And each hallows the hour by some rites
Of its own.
Here the music Of prayer from a minaret
swells,
Here the Magian his urn full of perfume
is swinging,
And here. at the altar, zone of sweet
bells
Round the waist OF some fair Indian
dancer is ringing.
Or to SEQ 1t by moonlight when meiiowy
shines
The light DER it's palaces. gardens and
shrines;
When the waterfalls CLEAN like a quick
fall of stars.
And the nightingales hymn from the Isle
of Chenars
Is broken by laughs and light echoes of
feet
From the cool shining walks where the
young people meet.
Or at morn when the magic of daylight
awakes
new wonder each minute as slowly It
breaks,
Hills cupolas, fountains. called forth. ev-

Out Of darkness. as they were just born
Of the sun;
When the spirit of fragrance Is up with

And the wind, full of wantonness. woos
like a lover
The young aspen trees till they tremble
all over;
When the east is as warm as the light of

And day. with it's banner Of radiance I'M

Sublime, from that valley of bliss to the

that as early rs the beginning of the
eighteenth century there We're inform
al trOtting races In Christiana. The
principal name In the history of the
sport is that Of Jacob Mey er. chief OF
the royal mounted militia, who was
born III 1871. He owned the noted
horse Sleijner-Varg that on March 10,
1929. trOtted an English mile in 2:37
and repeated In the same time. This
was faster than any horse had then
trotted In America. SO far as is known.
In Sweden and in Finland the sport
of trotting horses dates back, it is said,
to prehistoric times. With long win
tiers and nothing else to do the people
raced their horses to sleighs on the
ice. Sunday morning was the great
occasion. men and horses coming from

Beauteous nature loves all lands;

Footprints leaves on many STRANDS,
But her home is surely there.
Angels fold their wings and rest
In that Eden of the west,

Though the monks are now at rest.
Angels wonder not that man

No place else can charm the eye
With such bright and varied tints
Every rock that you pass by
Verdure broiders or besprfnts.
Virgin there the green grass grows:
Every morn springs natal day;
Bright hued berries daft the SHOWS.
Smiling winters frown away.
Angels, often pausing there,
Doubt If Eden were more fair,
Beauty's home, Killarney;
Ever fair Killarney.
Music there for echo dwells,
Makes each sound harmony:
Many voiced the chorus swells
Till 1t faints in ecstasy.
With the charmful tints below
Seems the heaven above to vie.

Tinge the cloud wreaths In that sky.
