for in so doing, thoughts will arise that
otherwise would have been overlooked. If
you are writing of something visible to the
eye, then all else must be forgotten and
only the grandeur and majesty of that one
view be left to you, and you must see the
harmony of outline and color as God or
man intended it should be seen. If you
are putting in words the horrors and dew
astation of war, then you must be on a
field of carnage, you must charge with the
brigade, receive bayonet thrust and then,
suffering the agonizing fortunes of the dy-

teners of battlefield horrors. Forget your
self, and in living, breathing, kaleidosco-

paint. Think it over, men, and if these

Some Failures

A dozen failures sat and talked before
the county Jail;
Their early hopes this life had mocked
why do so many fail?
Well, two of them had never learned
their promises to keep;
So by prosperity they're spurned as
being false and cheap.
And two of them are men afraid they'd
earn more than they drew,
So now they're loafing in the shade,
with naught on earth to do.
And two of them had swollen heads,
they knew more than the boss.
So now they're lacking board and bed,
each one total loss.
Those who would talk an endless streak
and whoop about their rights;
They've now been hungry for week
and have no roost at night.
The two who're shedding tear for tear
are plunged in frightful woe,
Because one time they didn't hear the
evening whistle blow.
The last two of the seedy flock thot
independence fine;
When they were due at eight o'clock
they'd not show up till nine.
They all look cheap and in their pants
they have no sign of kale;
They're saying that they have no
chance; why do so many fail?
Walt Mason.

The Angler in April

The beauty he disclosed was not that of
brooks and woods, it was the delight of
restfullness, the charm of the open mind.
The mind of him who is not in a hurry,
who envies not and hates not, who hath no
fever in his blood, and asks for nothing
which life and sunshine may not freely
give.
With him, idle time is not idly spent.
Angling means waiting by the brook, a
rest to the mind, cheer to the spirits,
diverter of sadness, calmer of unquiet
thoughts, moderator of passions, a pro-
curer of contentment.
1t begets habits of peace and patience in
those who prefer and practice it. 1t is like
the virtue of humility, which has calmness
of spirit and world of other blessings at
tending upon it.
No life can be so happy Or so pleasant as
the life of a well governed Angler, for
when the lawyer is swallowed up in his
business, and the statesman is preventing
or contriving plots, there we sit on the cow
slip banks, hear the birds sing, and possess
ourselves in as much quietness as these 81
lent silver streams, which we now see glide
by us. And the birds delight him as well
as the streams and all their fishes.
The lark rises from the grassy bank, and
with them and him she never descends to
the dull earth for mere necessity. The
black bird and the thrush bid welcome to
the cheerful spring, and in their fixed
mouths MARBLE forth such ditties as no art
nor instrument can reach to, The thosel
robin that loves mankind both alive and
dead, displays her virtues to him. But
most Of all the nightingale delights his
heart, and leads him to say, Lord, what
music hast thou provided for the saints in
heaven, when thou afforded bad men such
music on earth. I'll tell you, when sal
last on the primrose bank and looked down
upon the meadows, thought of them as
Charles the Emperor of the city of Flor.
ence, that they were too pleasant to bs
looked upon, but on holy days.
