A Faithful Dog

My merry-hearted comrade, on a day, Gave over dl his mirth, and went away Upon the darksome journey I must face

Some time as well. Each hour I miss his grace, His meek obedience and his constancy. Never again will he look up to me

With loyal eyes, nor leap for my caress

As one who wished not to be master-less; An{ never shall I hear his pleading bark

Outside the door, when all the ways grow dark, Bidding the housefolk gather close inside. It seems a cruel thing since he has died, To make his memory small, or deem it sin

To reckon such a mate as less than kin.

-Richard Burton.

How They Stood

No Short Cut

There is no short cut, no patent tram road to wisdom. After all thd centuries of invention, the soul's path lies through the thorny wilderness which must still be trodden in solitude, with bleeding feet, with sobs for help, as it was trodden by them of old times.-George Eliot.

A Man

He began by having ideals. FIe was born_with them, as some are born with music, art, or other gifts.

He no sooner learned had to work. But he saw than he learned that he do, as well .as his head. So he worked, and grew-and tfien he began to think. Then he began to live.

The years mounted. He learned that people were not the gods he had thought them to be. He became cautious, often afraid. His faith was attacked. Many of his ideals were shattered. Behind the beauty that he thought he saw in people, he discovered that there was a background,of falseness-that pqople were veneered like furniture, and this veneer soon cracked under stress, and showed cheapness underneath.

But he knew in his heart that beauty is always true. The beauty of the sunset, of the flower, of the simplest strain of music, of the most casual kindness. So he gathered of these, and treasured them in his heart-and became rich -richer than anything represented by money, or lands, or the products of enterprise and thrift.

And he gave of this wealth of heart, gladly, happily, year in and year out. The recipient of his gifts often proved unworthy, but somehow bitterness did not creep in. Rather did the hurts of his life enlarge his courage

He scented his life with a perennial youth. He scattered it as he went and worked, so that the things he bore bravely did not bear him down as age grew upon him.

He got his happiness out of making other people happy.

-George M. Adams.
