Ruth
BY Frank Earle Herring

Evening and a wine-red sky
That bends athwart the barley fields of Bethlehem.
And stains the bearded grain with amethyst
Two among the bushes holding tryst:
a solitary cleaner passing by,
lowly maid, sad -browed and shy.
Midnight. and the s<y-wOof blue
That glooms the fanes of sacred Bethlehem,
And paves the star-wrought arch of space.
The wnnowed grain lay round the threshing place.
Where Ruth crept to the feet of Boaz with trustfu
grace.
Naomi had bade her do.
Dawn-time sky-hush
That the opal globes of dew
Depending from the baTey-heads of Bethlehem.
Christ-child watching where the reaper mows.
Thinks lovingly of humble Ruth; and knows
An equal of Moabite and Jew.

Would come with joyous birds with forest grand

The Mixes
By Frank Earle Herring

When the stars in the twinkng lake
Pierce the breast OF sullen night.
Pierce the gloom with shafted light
And CLEAN in the ripples wake:
Then the hawthorne trees tinct the wanton breeze
And the blades OF the marsh grass shake
Where the mikes play, in their grotesque way,
With the stars in the twinkng lake
When the stars in the twinkling sky
Clean yellow and silver and blue.
Seen orange and garnet and blue.
As cloud-vel passes by;
Then the dews fill up the lobelias cup
And the gentians nod and sigh
Where the mikes play in their grOtesque way
with the stars in their twinkling sky.

A SWiss Song
By Gallitzen A. Farabaugh

Dear is my far-off native cline
Where love and nature reign supreme;
Where all is beautiful sublime.
And life is but pleasant dream.
Ambition there had ne'er a claim
Low are the pinnacles of fame
With teeming valleys circling round,
The rugged mountains tower high:
Their peaks with spotless garlands crowned
Are lost in depths OF azure sky
The sun diffuses golden rays,
And sets the snowy heights abaze
The distant highlands echo back
The shepherds call through wood and glen;
The chamois. frightened in his track.
FOrsakes the path and seeks his den.
These simple beauties true
Bind me, my native land, to you.
