Dear Editor:
Here are some lines / am writ

home paper.

! Rockingham, Route 8, August
25, 1920.
my, dear little girl, some day you'll
know,
How anxicusly and lovingly I've
watched you grow; D
Seeing things to make me sad,
Then many Others to make me glad
Perhaps I've expected too much OF
you,
More than your childish hands could
do;
Your pride and love have urged me on
To make your life pure and sweet as
the dawn.
A dawn that is cloudless, fresh, sweet
and calm,
So your life to be joy without any
harm;
When through the dark night some
have waited long,
May your life to them be as singing
birds each morn.
Beauty CT form and face-how soon
they pass!
And only noble, pure lives count al
last. 49,.
So then while going to the close Of
day,
Say and Go the good things that pass
not away. 'ae
Your life is not as free as you would
like It to be,
But I've some treasures entrusted tc
And I must give account some day
I'm told,
How I've cared for these treasures
more precious than gold,
r. e=a$s.
II in the end you should fail, deal
child, .t ,e
tnd your life be useless, free ant
| wild;
The days and years I've given to the,
Will only bring sadness and sorrow
to me.
| @+.r>@s'7s7rs'- ~ " re1sg =zsS.
I'm praying and longing that you will
| see #a
And be the noble woman God woult
have you be;
So in the end when life is done
He'll say to us: Mine own faithful
| Come"

TO \ SONG SPARROW.
Morning. Mr.. Sparrow,
Swinging 10 and fro.
Caroling "a song o spring.
Through the falling snow.
What IS that you're singing?
Skies will soon be blue?"
Wish that we could ever be
As full Of hope as you.
Long before the robin
Takes his northward way.
You are here TO pipe the cheer
OF flower sprinkled May.
Still the winter tempests
Blow like all possessed;
But nothing chills the hope that
thrills
Your dauntless little breast.
Last 10 leave I'm autumn,
First to come in spring,
In snow or hail. or breeze or gale
You sing and sing and sing,
Cynic blue-jays flout you,
Crows Sneer, dour and glum:
Still you shout your tidings out
OF better days 10 come!
Even when your happy
Prophecies go wrong,
Beneath the lea of some great tree,
You lift your voice in song.
And though the SnOw-flakes whiten
Your sturdy little wing.
Your lifting voice proclaims, Re
joicei
one sparrow makes a spring"
