|hhu tHS ouhCo Win lHc IOSeS are

And the name of this isle is the
Long Ago"
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bos-
oms of snow.
These are heaps of dust-but we low
ed them so,
There are trinkets and tresses Of hair
1t is a mild sort of intoxication of
sadness. this brooding in the past
and it grows on one, and if we re-
turn to it too often it becomes a hab-
it and gradually unfits us to grapple
with the work of today and of to-
morrow. and that is the only real
thing and the only thing worth while
If all the time that has been vast
ed in living again the campaigns and
fighting again the battles of the Civ
il War had been devoted to some
movement for the betterment of
present day evils what difference
it might have made. If all the sighs
that have been breathed and all the
tears that have been shed over old
letters, old trinkets and old memor-
les had been smiles and cherry
fronting of the problems of today in
stead what brighter lives there
would be for all of us,
Tear from the walls of memory the
clinging ivy of dead days. that bring
only tears and melancholy. and get
the spirit of the newer day; live in it
and become a part of it. Keep your
heart young.
Keep out of the Past. dt is lonely,
And barren and bleak to the view;
It's fires have grown cold. and its
stories are old
Turn, turn to the Present-the New
To-day leads UP to the hilltops,
They arc kissed by the radiant sum
Today shows no tomb, life's hopes
are in bloom.
And today holds prize TO be won.

"kEEP OUT OF THE PAST"

"Ah, those were the good old days. :"
How often we hear it said. The
good old days of long ago.
Many persons live almost wholly
in the past. To them nothing of to-
day is so good, nor so nearly per-
feet as it was when they were young.
And many even, who are scarcely
beyond the days of youth have the
habit of brooding over the past. In
their hearts the old flowers bud and
bloom, and the roses of the present
are all scentless, faded and dead.
In how many homes are stored up
packets of letters, yellowed with
age, tied with silken ribbons, be-
dewed with tears 1t is sweet to take
them out and read them over and
see the visions once again.
In how many bureau drawers, and
tills Of old trunks are tucked away
Pieces of rings and the garments
our dead used to wear !"
See that mother kneeling, and in
her lap two tiny shoes, with holes
worn through the toes the faded
leather wrinkled yet to the shape of
a foot long since turned to dust.
Years and years have passed sine
those shoes were worn. but there is
keenest grief yet in that bowed head
and those falling tears.
There's a magical isle up the River
Of Time,
Where the softcst Of airs are play
ing.
There's a cloudless sky and trop-
ical cline,
And song as sweet as a vesper
chime,
