Can I ask, 0 Lord, Through this day of pain and sorrow When but clouds I see. Of Thy strength O let me borrow; Be Thou near to me. I n my trouble Thou are grieved. Thou wilt share my p a i n ; And because I am bereaved. Lord, with me remain. Amen. E A S T B E WRITTEN HYMN. FOE MRS. IDA PEARL. Bright tinted butterflies, fain would I know What life hath taught to you. Whisper it low. Soft comes the answer down, sweetest of things. That in our greatest need, God giveth wings. The summer comes and goes, joyful birds take wing. Father, Thou guidest them to the land of spring. So I watch them in their flight, praying as I stand. Thou wilt guide me home at last to Thy fair summer land. �em o r i g I to ^ 6 e l a i 6 e C l l l e ? >y a I 6 r o n A sonnet to Queen V i c t o r i a , entitled " V i c t o r i a the G o o d , " brought its author a note of t h a n k s f r o m B u c k i n g h a m palace, a n d also a n a p p r e c i a t i v e letter f r o m a g i f t e d E n g l i s h w o m a n i n A m e r i c a .

I n that great day when shall begin H i s reign Who set the stars in heavens, wide and free, And bade the mighty billows of the sea Responsive to their coursing wax and wane; When stilled from strivings perilous and vain The ancient empires of the earth shall be, And wait H i s justice all that company Upon whose brows the crown of Kings has l a i n — Then shall H i s countenance upon thee shine, O venerated Queen, and thou shalt hear A voice pronounce thy name in tones divine Whose music with delight shall thrill thy ear.

ADELAIDE CILLEY WALDRON, Dn you swing with the tide little boat, little boat. On the crest of the wave do you sway; At the will of the wind do you float, do you float. Adrift on the ocean gray ? " O T swing with the tide, as I ride, as I ride. Oil the murmuring waves of the sea; And I drift with the wind over waters wide, As it seemeth God's will for me." I f thf^ tempest awake, little bark, little bnvk, And the clouds be black in the sky. Do you tremble with fear, in the dark, in the dnrk. Because of the dangers nigh ? " O neither the night nor the storm frighteth me As I lie in the cradling breast Of the deep-bosomed sea. for, whatever shall be, God permits it, and so that is best." Let me sail with you then, little boat, little boat, And mayhap we shall find a smooth strand, Where is anchorage safe, in a harbor remote, With the kingdom of joy at hand. Farmington, N.
