Come. sit beside me. maiden fair, and
straightway you shall hear.

from out the throng so gay
And love her with an honest love forever
and for aye
"Tll work for her with brain and Drawn

Until I've won her everything that hon.

I'll fill her life with all that's good till life

The bullfrog follows soon
And makes the swampy places

Around his big bassoon:
The fall bug from the leafy bowers.
Wherein he spends his life,
Joins shrily in the serenade
With tootles on his fife.
The locust plays the droning pipes.

And then among the breezy boughs
That rustic overhead
The angry katydid awakes
And scolds them all to bed.

THE OLD YEARS FLIGHT.

] watched the old years fight
And then said. with smile,
"Ah. now the new year bright
Will bide with US awhile!"
But ere my hopeful dreams
Have realized one day

1t starts but to decay.
Thus all along the way
GravestOnes must mark the mileA
An epitaph each day.
A tomb Of tears and smiles.
80 we begin the new
CTS old ere we've begun)
To find it's aging. too.
With the first setting sun.
But twill not always be.
There'll come a living day.
And all things new. and We
Shall live in endless May.
No gravestones then will mark
The tombs where dead hopes lie.
No nights of sorrow dark
Creep DER our changeless sky.

IT TAKES A MAN.

IT TAKES A MAN.
1T takes a man to stand alone,
a man whose heart Is strong,
To do what he believes Is right
4 And single handed make his
fight
When thousands call him wrong.
1t takes a man to turn aside
The popular applause.
To stand against the moving tide
OF multitudes when they deride
And not forsake his cause.
1t takes a man content to be
Unpopular. uncheered,
To battle conscientiously
For right his fellows may not see
When hatred's head Is reared.
Great deeds are seldom born OF
praise.
With smiles right is not won.
Unpopular are Oft the ways
or him who seeks the truth to raise
Until his work Is done
