4- AT CLOSE OF DAY. 4
444444. > > 4. > >
At the close of day when restful
shadows fall
And nature’s chords are all in tone,
When faint and far you hear the
wood-bird’s call,
And toil and care into the past have
flown,
Then bitterness, and strife should
flee away,
And peace and quiet, reign at close
of day.
At close of day, when all the hills are
gold
And molten glory wraps the slum
brous sea, ,
When in the west the great cloud
wreaths unrolled
Ajar the mystic portal seems to be,
Then Memory’s fingers o’er the heart
strings stray,
And wake responsive chords at
close of day.
At close of day. Ah! at the close of
day!
Kind Nature seems to hold you to
her -breast,
And crooning softly, o’er and o’er to
say:
“Peace, weary heart, this is \ <
time for rest.
Forget life’s career, and on my bosom
lay,
All of your grievances, at close of
day.”
—Alice D. O. Greenwood.

A LITTLE MORE OF
CLARA BELLE’S CHATTER.
She couldn’t face it. It was no use.
All the thinking she could do had cul
minated in that one fact and here she
was, in a Pullman car, tugging at the
suit case at her feet. If the weather
han’t been so abominable she would
have felt completely happy. As the,
train sped through the little villages |
Marjorie’s thoughts went to the man |
she had left behind.
“Hope he won’t care much,” she
thought. "What made me ever prom
ise to marry him. He isn’t my style
and we bore one another.”
At the junction she had to change
trains. She got on the wrong platform'
at first, and then managed to get the
right train just as it was about to
move out. Right the door sat a.
man whose form made her jump. She
I turned to flee, but the train was mov-'
ing too fast for her to go back and, 1
besides, this was the only parlor car.
There was nothing for it but to go as
far forward as possible and hope that
he Wouldn’t see her. But it was not
to be. As she passed him the train
gave a lurch and he looked up.
"Good heavens!” he exclaimed.
"What on earth has brought you here?
I thought you were going to Lakewood
witli the Smithers."
“Where are you going?” she gave one
question for another in the endeavor
to get her wits together.
"Oh, I’m off to the Adriondacks. I
couldn’t stand you any longer, you
showed go unmistakably that I bored
yon.”
“You never said a word about it last
