Little Poem Called Snow Burdens" Which Interprets Very Graphically One of the Most
 Intense and Universally Borne Emotions of the
 Human Heart Which Reverts to Vanished Youth!

woman's head conceals ever pressing thorns
 The little poem of Edith Thomas poig- nantly expresses this silent grief; yet there is one particular in which tha writer is mistaken: like the human be- ing, cannot know that the winter of their -discontent" is fleeting. Doubtless 10 them the weight of snow seems theirs for time and for eternity; the rigid cas- ing of the ice that binds their branches with grip of steel' may seem to them forever relentless, forever relaxing, and yet when storms are widest and snow lies deepest the little saucy yellow headed crocus, herald and hamburger of spring, is pushing it's siken pennalts upward toward the sun.
 The renewal of life does come to all things; the burden of the snow falls alike from dropping trees and dropping heads. Immortality is universal, and think Jou that the trees would renew their spring time loVeiiness and not the infinitely higher human being?
 If men and women could but get that fact firmly fixed within their minds they would be strong and cheerful despite their temporary loss of physical perfec- ton, for even those indifferent to celestial joys would hasten eagerly forward to clasp again to their breast the flower of youth,
 There will surely come ''the soft mild taity' and that the body shall be re- newed in spiritual loveliness-this is the promise that should sustain the heart and enable us to bear with submissive dignity the wintry days of life!
 There will surely come tines oft, mild day or night when, like the trees, men and women shall drop tie burden of the snow!'

WW houses and marts covered with
 the white mantle of snow dur ing the past few days a little poem of Edith M Thomas. from the volume of verses entitled, 'The Flower From the Ashes" has come to my mind most viv- idly
 The poem bears the title of Snow Bur dens." and the sentiment expressed is this:
 They bear the burden of the snow
 They bear it with a patient grace The dropping trees, Yet well they know
 A melting hour comes on apace. An if but Time that crowns me white,
 An equal clemency would show, Then I, some soft mild day or night,
 Would drop the burden of the snow!'
 The little poem typifies as I sec it one of the most intense and universally borne griefs of the human heart; the grief incl dent to vanished youth.
 We are told that Time heals all wounds" but this is one of the sorrows which time augments, instead of as- suages; with all our other troubles time with fairy fingers weaves a curtain of forgetfulness: the times change, scenes change, people change, hearts change, fashions change. We ofttimes forget our beloved dead in the living, the past in the present; because all about us new life
