SYMPATHY.

SYMPATHY.
He never shed single tear
Nor heaved a tender sigh;
Cold, calculating, sharp and clear
Was every day, his eye.
Always his judgment rules his deeds,
And reason marked his plan;
But what this cid world really needs
Is sympathy from man.
1t needs the eyes that fill with tears,
The threats that know the rise
OF choking Jumps, when grief ap-
pears
Far m re than judgment wise.
1t needs the hasty hands that do
The gentle thinqs and kind
That beating hearts impel them. to,
Far more than poise Of mind.
He felt no touch of others pain,
Nor knew anothers woe,
He looked on sentiment as vain,
His heart was cold as snow.
Brain was the god he calmly served,
At every time or place,
He thought it shame to be unnerved,
Tears were to him disgrace.
And yet before all reason calm,
The weeping eyes should be-.
The world must have the soothing
balm
OF tender sympathy.
sing the hot, impulsive deeds
That kindly people do,
For these are what the old world
needs
Far more than judgment true.

ed by far the greatest number of
soldiers now fighting against the
Germans from the North to the
Swiss frontier. have still been able
to till their fields as if We were in
the midst of peace.
The official statistics show that on
May 1, 1915, as many acres of
French soil unoccupied by the enc
my were in a state of cultivation as
ON the same date last year, a fact
which means that the crop of grain
and other agricultural products in
France probably will be normal in
size.
NJ. Guyon, one of the inspectors
of agriculture. with whom | had a
talk few days ago. and who had
visited every village and hamlet in
the department OF the Marine, said
that he was. quite unable to find
words to express his admiration of
the peasants OF these districts.

one single neglected field.

men, women and children-who
have remained at home are entitled

1T IS especially near the bonn
barded and destroyed villages, OF
which there are only too many in
the districts where the battle of the
Marine was fought, from MeauX to

are impressed by the tenacity, en-
durance and splendid qualities of
the tillers of the soil. In many
places there is not a single house
left that is fit to live in and the
peasants during the time of the first
invasion lost everything but what
they carried on their persons. Their
horses and cattle We're killed or
driven off, their implements were
destroyed, their houses pillaged and
set ON fire and even their fields were
ruined by the passage of heavy ar
tillery and the digging of maze of
trenches.

been driven back, old men. women
and children returned to work and
began cultivating their fields, to

their usual aspect but for the thous-
ands of crosses that mark the last
resting places of our fallen heroes.
