SCATTER THE GERMS OF THE
BEAUTIFUL.
Scatter the germs of the beautiful,
By the wayside let them fall,
That the rose may spring by the cot
tage gate.
And the vine on the garden wall;
Cover the rough and the rude of earth
With a veil of leaves and flowers,
And mark with the opening bud and
cup
The march of summer hours.
Scatter the germs of the beautiful
In the holy shrine of home;
Let the pure, and the fair. and the
graceful there
In the loveliest lustre come.
Leave not a trace of deformity
In the temple of the heart,
But gather about its hearth the gems
OF nature and of art.
Scatter the germs of the beautiful
In the temples of our Cod
The God who starred the uplifted sky,
And Powered the trannpled sod!
When He built a temple for Himself,
And a home for His priestiy race.
He reared each arm in symmetry.
And covered each line in grace.
Scatter the germs of the beautiful
In the depths of the human soull
rf-t. -
the fruit,
While the endless ages roll;
Plant with the flowers of charity
The portals of the tomb,
And fair and pure about thy path
In Paradise they'll bloom.

will recall how ably and cordially she
was seconded in welcoming the

ID. Chatto, who passed away suddenly
a few days ago. Seldom so many

everything was so propitious for
comfortable and serene old age; the
wiping out of the entire house and
buildings so conveniently fitted with
modern improvements, and, finally,
the sudden death of Capt. Chatto,
combine to make the closing chapter
of family life one of unusual circum-
