Arthur B. webb.

A shadow fell darkly
 On parIor and hall, As they bore from the portal The drocping black pail, While hearts bowed in anguish So bitter and deep, For the friend. and the brother, Who had fallen alseep. In the strength of his manhood, The pride of his years. With the bright sunny smile Unshadowed by fears, He passed from our midst. At the grey boatsman's cAll," And answered the summons Which cometh to all.

The snowbirds are twittering instead of the winter call notes and are inereas- ing in numbers. An uptown observer noted starlings in the steeples of St Patrick's and Broadway churches.
