ment of kirkwood Park, by extending 1T
easterlv to the junction of the Brandy
wine creek and Eleventh street; that
said park be then extended northward
from the Brandywine ere Elk, taking IN the

DAFFODILS.
By Clinton Scollard.

When | went out at peer of dawn,
And crossed the dewy hill,
The sun arose and tossed TO me
A golden daffodil.
And at the highest pitch OF noon,
As | passed DER the plain,
The sun was there to gave TO me
A daffodil again.
And as | paused beside the gate,
Happy at tolls reprleve,
| saw between the quiet trees
A daffodilian eve.
And ere / drifted off that night
Down placid slumber streams,
The round moon rose and flung to me
A daffodi for dreams.
