Coming of Winter.

The following poem, written by Louie
M. Belser, Jr., of this place, appeared
in the December issue of The Oracle, =
a magazine published monthly by the
student body of Henderson Brown Col
lege at Arkadelphia, Ark. Louie is
enrolled as Freshman at Henderson
Brown, but has been home since the
Christmas holidays on account of his
health Abont two weeks ago he I'M
derwent surgical operation for APP
pendicitis, and is now rapidly regain
ing health and strength.
The autumn DAYS are passing,
One by one the leaves all fall,
The tropic lands are reckoning,
And the birds flock to their call.
But the winter will bring its solace
With the sweep of the silent snow
And will dream in the freight :
CLEAN
After the sunsets glow.
III live in the land of visions
That Is peopled by shadows gray,
II neeu not the StaiS al evening"
Nor the sun at the dawn of day.
TIE real world is filled with sorrow
Not SO in the country of dreams;
For you smile, make believe and
are happy,
In the land where things only seem
So what care for wlntry world,
II | live where things only seem
can sit and gaze at the fire :
bright blaze
Aud dream, dream, dream.
