HEARD the birds sing ing last night in Their music was sweet And each tried the The robin was there in Twas chirping its birdlings a sweet lullaby. The bluebird was smoothing its soft, downy pillow, And calling its mate, still up in the sky. The daisies were nodding out in the green meadow, close: The larkspur and buttercup, down by the brookside, Were saying good-night to the rose. The sun, who was sinking behind the green hilltops, Peeped out from a cloud and winked his red eye; Methinks he was whispering the bright clouds around him "I am going to rest now, I'll say good-bye." The shadows grew deeper. The birds were soon sleeping; The flowers had closed their sweet petals so While over the mountain the crescent moon peep- -Lulu M. Downs. A Fateful Disaster. BY NEWTON H. IVINS. DNA SINGLETON was thrown into an ecstasy of delight when she received word from her brother, Robert, begging her to come out and spend the Summer with him on the farm in the No. 5. Her rural districts of Pennsylvania, not many miles from the city of Harrisburg. She was at that time living with a maiden aunt in the city of Philadelphia, and she had already grown tired of the social life she was compelled to lead in that great city. Besides, it was not the sort of life to which she had been accustomed. girlhood had been passed on their father's farm-a beautiful estate on the Juniata, now being managed by her brother Robert-and she had grown up with a love of all the social surroundings of a rural home. But great bereavements had come, and left the brother and sister alone in the possession of as fine a piece of landed property as could be boasted of anywhere in the vicinity of Richland, the railway station and village adjacent to their country seat. Her brother, who was her senior by several years, had a family consisting of a wife and two children-a boy and girl, aged respectively 11 and 9 years. Roland was a bright, industrious boy, a great favorite with the horses and dogs, and was greatly beloved by his father. His sister Grace was equally fond of out-door sports, and was, withal, the pet of the family. On the day appointed for the arrival of Edna, Robert and his wife, Emma, drove over to the little village of Richland in the family carriage to meet Edna upon her arrival. Robert was agreeably surprised at the change in his sister since he had last seen her, which was now nearly a year. She had developed from budding young girlhood into a beautiful young lady. Arrived at home, Edna was delighted beyond her expectations. It seemed to her that she had never known surroundings so enchanting. Besides, she was with those she knew and loved best. Robert's wife was to her a great source of joy. |
