For 10 my own shall come to me.
/ stay my haste, | make delays;
For what avsils this eager pace2

And what is mine shall know my face.

No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.

My hear shall reap where it has sown,
And gather up its fruit of tears.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave come TO the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep nor high.
Can keep my own away from me.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yonder

So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delights.

AUTUMN.

From the New York Herald)
When autumn flngs her mantle on the
hills
And NAPLES flame like torches of the
dawn;
When in each hazel ticket far with
drawn
The russet leaves drop like soft rain that
spills
From the s'sky pearl grey cup; when
whippoor
Reiterate their low cries and are gone;
Nhen earth is like dream in rose and
faun,
And goldenrod waves blithely by the
rllls:
Then you come back to me, who loved
the fall,
Who loved September's haze hung
heights of blue;
Though distance curtains your dear
face from view
Still is your spirit nearer in these days
OF mellow harvest time and sun filled
ways,
And SO | love the autumn best of all.
Elisabeth Scollard.

was dirty but proud.
"You think you are gold, but you are

The dollar swelled up with pride and

AFTER THE FIRE.

Here's prospect most distressing;
Trousers, stained and needing pressing;
Woman's nightgown, black and tattered
Legless tables, cracked and battered;
Mingled with old boots and shoes,
What was once q case of booze;
All the things bureau stores;
Half burned books and closet doors;
Broken chairs, student lamp;
Sofa cushions, torn and damp;
Baby's crib, pewter mug;
Broken bed springs, sogey rug.
Jumbled in one mighty pile,
Scoffer, wipe away that smile,
All of this debris has come
From = one-time happy home.
This the lesson we can learn:
Put no fire out. Let her burn.
