AN EASTER CAROL.

AN EASTER CAROL.
Now into natures symphony
There comes the climax chord.
The birds, the brooks and all outdoors
Sing, GLORY to the Lord"
For He has brought the world once more
From what seemed death most drear;
To life and health with radiant mien,
To give us Easter cheer.
The sweetest time of all the year
Which saw the Lord arise.
He left the bindings of the tomb
For glory in the skies.
We know He rose-the facts assured,
Our hearts with gladness swell.
For Christ said, Where go ye may
Be sure that thou shalt dwell"
So glory to the Lord of Hosts!
Sing, brooks and running streams;
Sing, birds and flowers and humans, too,
This sweetest of ALI themes.
STELLA.

foolish to consult a physician at all.

MY SONNET.

A particularly corpulent old pig
Lay deep in mre below Waiting bat
He did not hear the solos of the cat
When earth had put on darkness like wig.
He did not mark the frehies' festive jig.
Nor Susan putting off an Easter hat
She loosed her golden hair, took out her rat
For all these things he did not give hg.
But, only in the mire he cared to lie
Though all the world with joyfulness shone red,
Oh! such as he are dead before they die
And buried in oblivion's low bed.
But happy Susan dreamed she made pie
OF stars and flowers and dew-drops, when she

SEED TIME.

With harrow tooth and ploughshare
They groom the fields so grey;
That man may have an answer,
When humbly he shall pray
And ask his God to give him bread
For sustenance each day.
And ng8 dead stalks and stuhhaa
Must feed the bonfre's heat;
To make room for the sower,
Who scatters wide his wheat
That sheaves may soon replace the mold
Which crumbles meath our feet.
Man then is like the cornstalks
The straw or stubble dead;
When SHOWS of lifes chill winter.
Are sitting DER his head
Times sickle gamers him to give
New sewers seed a bed
