Now shimmering waves of fairy bloom
Across the meadows break and run,
And all the good brown earth is glad
Beneath the glory of the sun.
In bubbles blown of crystal sound

The Hirschman Clock

April eighteenth at five o'clock
The Hirschman clock was ticking:
It watched the Kearny-Market block
And kept the minutes clicking
Alas! when thirteen told that clook
There came a mighty earthquake shock
Oh! woe to thee,…
Simple Request.

I'm just as reason'ble a man
As any can be:
I don't see how sane people can
Find any fault with me.
I try my best to keep the rest
From goin' quite astray-
An' all I ask in life is jest
To have things my own way!
It's…
Israel's Restoration.
180.9
Stand up, ye nations, far and near,
Lift your eyes and behold with cheer,
The Night of Earth has nearly gone,
The Eastern day begins to dawn,
And soon with wondering eyes we see
The glorious day of jubilee.

Questions.

Joy comes along with sorrow,
And sorrow on with joy:
What boots it which we borrow
Since each has its alloy?
Our life wears death for a jewel
And death makes sweet our life;

Give of your mass of gold,
Send to the prostrate West
Some of that wealth untold
Digged from her virgin breast.

In boyhood when you journeyed home
And darkness wrapped the world.
Weird beats and ogres turked about,
Each bush an imp would hold.
The rocks took unfamiliar shapes,
The trees were stiff and stark,

A Wish
518-2
"Be my fairy, mother;
Grant me a wish to-day,----
Something as well in the sunshine
As when the rain drops play."
"And if I were a fairy,
With but one wish to spare,
What should I give thee, darling,
To quiet thine earnest prayer?"

The Bachelor's Soliloquy.
243.5
To wed or not to wed;
That is the question.
Whether 'tis better
To remain single,
And disappoint a few women-
For a time;
Or marry,
And disappoint one woman-
For life?
THE EFFACEMENT OF SELF.

The sweet lives are those to duty wed,
e deeds, both great and small,
Are close-knit strands of an unbroken thread
Where love ennobles all.

SEVEN YEARS OLD.

I am seven years old to-day-
Seven times one are seven;
And Alice is four years older-
Seven and four are eleven.
My lessons are so hard to learn,
So full of figures and words;
The numbers hum in my head like bees,…

ADVICE.

We all, sometimes would like to curs Don't do it.
Profanity ne'er helped a muss-
Don't do it. You may be mad;

But giving up will never do- Don't do it.
