Sometime when all life's lessons have
been learned
And sur and stars forevermore have
The things which our weak judgments

The things DER which we grieved

As stars shine most in deeper tints of

And we shall see how all Gods plans
were right.
And how what seemed reproof was

And we shall see how. while we frown
Gods plans go on as best for you
How when we called he needed not our
cry,
Because His wisdom to the end could
And even as wise parents disallow
Too much of sweet to craving baby

So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now
Life's sweetest things because it
seemeth good.
And If sometimes, commingled with
life's wine,
We find the NORWOOD and rebel and

Be sure a wiser hand than yours or
Pours out this portion for our lips to
drink;
And if some friend we love is lying low.
Where human kisses cannot reach his
face,
oh. do not blame the loving Father so,
But wear your sorrow with obedient
grace.
And you shall shortly know that length
ened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends his
And that sometimes the sable pail of
death
Conceals the fairest boon His love
can send.
If we could push ajar the gates of life
And stand within, and all Gods work
ings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and
And for each mystery could find a
key.

MARTHA WAsHINeToN's BEAD
BAG.

When long ago she went to church
Upon her arm it hung,
A dainty tri1e wrought of beads
By skillful fingers strung.
No doubt it held a silken purse
With money for the plate,
And snowy. perfumed handkerchief
With broidery ornate.

OF lavender and rose;

The gossip that it knows,
The ancient bit of faery

And maybe brooch of gold.
George Washington perhaps admired
The quaint design of old.
