A BOYS PROMISE.

The school was out, and down the
street
A noisy crowd came thronging;
The hue of health, gladness sweet,
To every face belonging.
Among them strobe a little lad,
Who listened to another,
And mildly said, half grave, half sad,
Il can't promised mother"
A shout went up, ringing shout,
Of boisterous derision;
But not one moment left in doubt
That manly, brave decision.
go where you please, do what you
WILL"
He calmly told the other;
"But | shall keep my word, boys, still;
l can't promised mother"
All! who can doubt the future course
Of one who thus had spoken?
Through manhood's struggle, gain and
loss,
Could faith like this be broken?
Gods blessing on that steadfast will,
Unyielding to another;
That bears all jeers and laughter still,
Because he promised mother.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1916-09-16
WHICH?

My life is like unto sheltered stream,
Whose pleasant waters in the sunlight
CLEAN:
A murmuring shallow, with it's ripples,
here;
A limpid pool, with crystal depths, is
there.
Beneath are polished rocks, and sands
like snow;
To right and left, the verdant meadows
show;
And, high DER all, glorious azure sky,
With clouds, like white-winged ships,
slow sailing by.
Ny life is like dark and stormy sea,
Ger which the rude gales sweep eter-
nally;
And as each furious blast speeds on
its path,
1t whips and tears her bosom in its
wrath
Her topping waves roll fast and far
in fight,
Like steeds set loose and driven mad
by fright;
and Heavens vault, elsewhere serene
and blue,
BY inky clouds, is hidden here from
view.

played together while JaCoba's tea
still waited, and poor little Dearie sat
grooming to herself with JAMS two
great, soft slippers in her lap, wait

her the supreme expression of her
soul.
But at length the time of the night.
blooming cereus came. The dark
August day seemed to have forgotten
the very existence of summer and
was discouraging the late-maturing
flowers with long depressing spell
of rain. Besides, what was worse,
the darkened windows of the nursery
the pushed-out vines and flowers
brought a feeling of loneliness ever
the spirits of all, and over the soul
of Dearie, sense of crushing fear.
Merrybabe was sick, dying! Grown-up
people know that children do not or
dinarily die from measles, but Dearfe
interpreted the strange warning that
she must not go near the nursery
| with it's most direful significance.
For one dark hour Dearie's world
was without Merrybabe. And to her
great surprise and dismay, her world
was empty. Her garden and tree
| houses and secret-delights which
Merrybabe had taken for her own
pleasure loved Merrybabe, and Dearie
knew that if they should all be re-
turned to her sole possession, without
| the interference of their usurper, that
they would miss that love and grow
utterly hateful. She had made many
sacrifices for Merrybabe, and these
had grown into a garden-beautiful
which quite unconsciously Dearie
possessed as her best treasure. Slow
ly her heart brought her mind to see
that Merrybabe must live; II her
superabundant play-needs asked for
all that Dearie was and possessed,
there was big reason why she should
live.
Toward evening the cold rain which
seemed to have been borrowed from
| November, cleared away, and Dearie
led by her old love for the iris garden
with it's rainbow blessing, went to
the hillside of the yard hoping to see
the promise in the sky. But she saw
only great purple clouds moving off,
and the iris garden only pale green
swords. But what had been there
bloomed softly again in her imagina.
ton. She held out her hands to the
sky and whispered, Dear God, give
half of my rainbow garden to Merry
babe and let us love it together, for.
ever and ever, Amen"
AS she turned away, her brown
cheeks flushing with the strangeness
of what she had done, her eyes fell
upon the old tub pushed behind the
heavy woodbine. Surely there was
something happening in the corner!
A large, thick bud had made its way
| through the vines and seemed to be
waiting a chance to bloom. Dearie
fell down on her knees before it in
ecstasy, holding her little hands
around but not touching it. She could
see that the eager white petals were
trembling in their haste to make the

most of that one night, and she
longed to help them and peer through
the waxen loneliness into the myster-
ious, green sea at their heart But
an inspiration was growing in her
mind, which made her quite still and
thoughtful for long time and then
sent her quickly back to the house in
the darkness. She went gently to the
windows of the nursery, found little
open place and looked in. A tiny
light showed Merrybabe in her little
bed Her face was quite red, and
Dearie thought that she looked lots
prettier when she was make-believe
dying, but glance about the room
was all there was time for now.
Merrybabe was alone, and so Dearie
ran swiftly back to the tub. A very
few minutes were long enough to drag
