SILENT LIVES.
If ha the only hero he whoe deeds
I Are writ on this world's records? Whose
grsat name
Is haloed with the splend Id light of Fame I
Hethlnks that If one heart in silence bleeds
For grief o'er frail humanity's dire needs
Tries earnestly to purify from shame
One fallen soul, to right one wrong, one
blame,
To bring the flowers of good from out the
weeds
Of one poor, downcast life to him the
crown
Of higher honors than the conqueror's bays
Shall be awarded. His the nobler place,
The loftier rank, the holier renown
For, step by step, his unmasked, simple ways
Shall lead him upward till he see God's faoe.

Soon will the festive bumble bee
His little carol sing-,
And polish up right carefully
His merry little sting.
Soon will the small boy seek the wood
To climb his favorite tree,
And in a happy, careless mood
Pursue that self -same bee
Then will that blithesome bee in turn
Cause that same boy to scud
To where he can relieve the bum
By plastering with mud.

Brings out the light-colored molasses
And serves it as "pure maple syrup."

With quite as much relish and gusto
As if 'twere the pure sap of the maple.
