HENRY W. GRADY
GRASS

Next in profession to the divine profusion Of water
light and All. those three physical facts which render eA-
lstence possible, may be reckOned the universal 5enet!cence
of grass. Lying in the sunshine Of May, scarcely higher
IN intelligence tnan those minute tenants OF that mimic
wilderness, our earliest reCOIlectOns are Of grass; and
when the tltful fever IS ended, and the foolish WranSle OF
the market and forum is closed, grass heals over the
scar which our descent into the bosom of the earth has
made, and the carpet Of the infant becomes the blanket
Of the dead.
Grass is the forgiveness Of Nature-her constant bene-
diction. Fields trampled with battle, saturated with blood,
torn with the ruts Of cannon, grow green again with grass
and carnage is forgotten. Streets abandoned by traffic
become grass-grown, like rural lanes and are obliterated.
Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, but grass
is immortal. Beleaguered by the suHen hosts OF winter
it withdraws into the impregrabIe fortress OF It's subter-
ranean vitality and energies upon the solicitation OF
spring. Sown by the winds, by wandering BIRDS pr0po-
gated by the subtle horticulture Of the elements which
are its ministers and servants, it softenS the rude out
lines Of the world, 1t evades the solitude Of deserts,
climbs the inaccessible slopes and plhnacles OF mountains
and modjfies the history, character and destiny OF nations.
tnoblrusiyc and patient it has IMMORTAL vlgDr and aggres.
sion. Banished from the thoroughfare and fields it Dides
i4 time to return, and when vigilance is reIa&ed or the
dynasty has persisted it silently resumes the throne from
which fl has been expelled but which It never abdicates.
It bears no bIasomy Of bloom to charm the senses with
fragrance or sp } .0l, bat lis homcIy hue is more en-
charting than the lily or the rose. 1t yields no fruit in
earth or air, yet should it's harvest fail for q single year
famine would dcpopulatc the world"

OPPORTUNITY

Opportunity knocks once
A. the door of sage or Ounce.
Maybe when your summons fell
You would not attend the bell.
P'raps you got it in your head
That the wolf was there instead.
Maybe YOU miS.judged her looks
For an agent selling books
Anyways, do not despair.
That you missed the call so rare.
You must simply hustle more,
Go and get another door.
