In the middle of this kind of scenery,

garrison grounds; similar in appearance
to most any other military post. A

When the sky is dream Of violet
And the days are rich with gold.
And the satin robe ofthc earth is set
With the jewels wrought OF old
When the WOO Glands wave in choral seas
Aud the purple mountains loom,
1t is heaven to come with the birds and bees
TO the feast Of apple bloom.
For the gabled roof OF home arose
Der the sheen Of the orchards snow,
And is still my shrine, when storms repose
And the gnarly branches blow;
And the music of childhood's singing heart,
That was lost in the backward gloom,
May be heard when the robins meet and part
At the feast Of apple BLOOM.
And think when the trees display crown,
Like the CLEAN OF a resting dove,
Ola face that was framed in trcsses brown
Aud aglow with mothers love;
At the end of the orchard path she stands,
And laugh at my manhood's doom,
As my spirit dies with lifted hands,
To the feast ofapple bloom.
When the rainbow paths of faded skies
Are restored with the diamond rain,
And'thc joys of my wasted paradise
Are returning to earth again,
II is saddcr than death to know how brief
Arc the smiles that the dead assume;
But momcntalowed, flying leaf
From the feast ofappc bloom.
But golden arch forever shines


In the dim and darkening past,
Where stand again, as day declines,
And the world is bright and vast
For the glory that lies along the lane,
Is endcared with sweet perfume,
And the world Is ours, and we are twain
At the feast ofrpple bloom.
She was NOR than fairin the wreath she wore
OF the creamy buds and blows,
And she returns to me from the speechless


shore


When the Towering orchard gows;
And sigh for the dreams 80 sweet and swift
That are laid In a sacred tomb
Yet are nothing atlast but fragrant drift
From the feast Of apple bloom.

rights, we took no part, but waited
patiently the decision of the aforesaid

country whose death would attract so much
comment as will follow frOm this simple
