The Rhodora.

Ane NnVoVHos
In May, when sea winds pierced our
solitudss,
found the fresh Rhodora in the
woods,
Spreading It's leafiess blooms in q
damp nook,
To please the desert and the sluggish
brook.
The purple petals fallen In the pool,
Made the black water with their
beauty gay;
Here might the redbird come his
plumes to cool.
And court the flower that cheapens
his array.
Rhodora! II the sases ask thee why
This charm IL wasted on the earth
and sky,
Tell them, dear, II eyes were made
for seeing,
Then Beauty Is It's own excuse for
being;
Why thou were there, o rival Of the
rose!
never thought TO ask, I never
knew;
But, in my simple ignorance. suppose
The selfsame Power that brought,
me there brought you.

/ with me. Most Of them wanted to talk
politics. As long as I'd argue about
the income tax law, or the value of the

to describe my rheumatism, and ex-
plain that it was an HEIRLOOM handed
down by my ancestors, who exhibited
their rheumatic joints before the
crowned heads, those sympathetic
neighbors began to fade away.
You can't understand the longing
man has to talk about his own rheuma-
tism unless you have been there. All
other topics seem fatuous. I was sim
ply pining away for somebody to come
and stand hitched while 1 told the
whole story. My wife saw that I was
slowly dying Of oroken heart' so she
told old Pulsifer about it, and he said
he'd come to my bedroom and listen to
my talk for a week if that would DO
any good. He told her that he always
did consider rheumatism the most fas-

over to this country on the MayfIower,
and had always been a cherished pos
session of the family. I got about that
far and then Pulsifer butted in, claim
ing, in a loud voice, that the rheuma-
tism in his family came down from Al
fred the Great who contracted it while
hiding in the marshes to escape the
Danes. He insinuated that a man ought
tc be ashamed to boast of a cheap mod
ern case like mine and sat up in bed
and threw a lot of bottles containing
various remedies, at his head, and he
took hold of my sore foot and pulled
me out of bed, and my wife had to
