My dear Miss Flournoy:
| want you to know how delighted
we are with our Book of Knowledge, y
for 1t is all and more than you repre-
sented it to be, as | now realize how
impossible it would be for one person
to tell all these books contain, What
an education it would be- if they could
be placed in every home, especially
where there are children.
1t Is the only literature | have ever
seen that is 50 instructive, and at the
same time as entertaining as novel,
Our boys simply devour the books,
and the parents read them with equal
interest.

THE OUTDOORS.

Springs choristers with busy wings,
Are swinging through the air,
While all the raptures of the morn;
(For voyage where they dare
Are intermingled with April blooms,
And arch of cloudless blue.
AS If they each a Haven sought
And gifts of Nature knew.
To gather strength for eagles flight
Ger woodland hill and glen
While distant hills, as mighty thrall
Shut off the noise of men;
They message find that "carnal mind"
Can neither grasp or hear
Since myriad things like magic speak
or mysteries everywhere.
While greenery of the Spring.touched
wood
AS Genii born of Change,
May lure with charm to other haunts
The fitting crew that range
Our palms are up, with quick Hurrah
When swift without dismay
The Robin came, with home-like trill
To nest of yesterday
The dropping bough near easement
hung,
Where once, by gallant fight
The Robin Though not quarrelsome)
Had won by Bird-law-Right
TO moss.grown niche that served as
nest
For little brood before
When Mother-love and vernal joys
Were shared so near my door!
