JUST FOLKS
b. By Edgar A. Guest
THE RICH IN SPIRIT.

There Is no door to sorrow barred.
Grief holds contemptuous disregard
OF pride and pomp and fortunes gold,
And pleasures which are bought and
sold;
In this the rich and poor are kin:
Death calls and all must let him in.
Still there are rich men in woe.
And plainly does the difference show.
AS one with wealth may grace his
board
With food the poorer can't afford.
SO one who's richer in belief
Has more TO soothe the pang of grief
The man of greater faith can bear
His hours of anguish and despair,
His lonely days and nights and weeks
With peace which money vainly seeks
Faith can a wealth of strength supply
Which gold and silver cannot buy.
Just as the rich of purse provide
Comforts to poorer men denied.
So those of greater faith, in woe.
Have dreams the falthless cannoi
know;
Rich of spirit. they can face
The days of grief with nobler grace.

this time than It viii be again In the |

watch the reawakening OF nature |
after n somnolent period OF six months
could find nothing more inviting than
a trip into Christiana or Brandywine
hundreds, or for that matter TO any
part OF the city or State. The foliage
is just bursting to maturity under the
impulse OF April showers and sun,
and the green is OF the lighter tone
that must delight the eye of all who
appreciate the wondrous moods and
shades and colors OF nature. The hill
sides are spotted with fruit trees in
full panopiy OF color. OF white and
pink and purple. according to the
fruit whose birth they herald. The
trees In the woods are taking on all
tones OF green, and the grass Is lush
and full and like huge carpet Of
velvet.
The wheat is taking on its second
growth and recalls how brief are our
seasons. and how short is the active
period of nature, for in about two
months It Will have been harvested
and we Will soon be looking forward
toward the approach of autumn.
There are trees and gardens here
abouts OF especial beauty that are
worth ones while to inspect and ad-
mire. Just now a towering tree
possibly a fruit bearer-on Market
street almost overlooking the Brandy
wine, Is indeed thing OF beauty, 1t
Is literally covered with blossoms of
subdued tone. and as II waves It's
laden branches In the wind It is a
picture such as nature alone can
paint and vitalize.
No less attractive these days Is the
lawn surrounding Bishopstead. Here
the foliage OF the native trees is con-
| trasted with the deep green OF the
tall, formal pines. and a dainty willow
in one corner. always first TO give
the token Of the approach Of the re-
awakening. lends its grace OF line
and pastel delicacy of green to the

Almost everywhere about the city
one comes across beautiful Towering
