THE NINE-LIVED CORN.
458.3
The corn was killed in early May-
The flood had wasted it quite away.
And later on it died again,.
And rotted 'neath the constant rain.
Once more we tolled its final knell;
The seed had not been tested well.

The Emhattled Farmers.
255.10
There's an army on the murch,
Which plies neither word nor torch;

There are times it fights by night,
Then again in broad daylight,
And the farmer is its special…
Twilight.
153.5
Crested waves and a long gray beach
Far and far as the eyes may reach-
Twilight falling on tide and foam,
On a silvery sea-gull winging home,
On a little pool left by the spendthrift sea
Where pale stars gladden the heart…
A Question.
Mabel Mahin
191.2
I study the faces of old women
And ask myself a question, new and strange.
To my own features will there come a change?
That look of meek submission? Am I, then,

To die were far more sweet
With freedom's starry emblem, boys,
To be my winding sheet.
In life I loved to see it wave,
And followed where it led,
But now my eyes…

That they may build from age to age
An undefiled heritage.

Conserve of honey in deep purple glaze
Of the red-ripened glory of October days,
Dow of the fairies in globes of delight,
With the freshness of frost in their tang and their bite.

And found that she hadn't a dime,
And, yoked to a flighty extravagant shrew,
You bewail your sad lot all the time
You dream of a girl who was pure as a pearl,

Shells of Ocean.

Where oft in heedless infant sport
