Catherine Baldwin. I TRAVELED many winding ways THE roses blossom on the wall, The larkspur clusters by the gate, And stately lilies grave and tall Sway to the breeze. In twilight late The garden long untenanted Lies vague, mysterious, and it seems Adown the prim box-bordered walk Perchance young lovers one time strayed In twilight hours with tender talk Ah, quaint, old-fashioned, pretty maid! I fancy how you bent your head Listening, and how the whippoorwill Called from the meadows past the hill. The breezes whispered to the pines Perhaps just as they do to-night, And where the Provence rose-bush twines, Pink as your cheeks, the petals light Soft fluttered down, a rosy snow; On this crape myrtle scarred and dim I trace the letters dear to him. The flowers are blooming, starred with dew, Bright as they did that yester-year; The mocking-bird which sang to you Trilled the same songs to-night I hear. But youth and maiden-many a day Has waxed and waned and passed away Since, last borne through this narrow gate, They left the garden desolate. Irene Norman McKay. Interpretation. THOROIGHNESS. «A STITCH in time saves nine; » But I would rather wait, To let the tailor sew more fine And take the other eight. PUBLICITY. T is said that « good wine needs no bush, Since he who's tasted buys it; But dealers who their trade would push Had better advertise it.

George Orne Percy. To Chloe. (FOR A MENDED GLPE.) Fair Chloe looked upon the old torn glove, Then touched its ragged edges with her fingers, And lo! the rent was closed- as if for love Sweet healing follows where her touch but lingers. If all the rents that follow Chloe's eyes, And all the hearts despairingly defended, Were healed so soon-we'd straightway realize That love and life are good as new when mended. Robert Bridges.
