Ha giveth to the beast his food, Ai'.fi to the young ravens which cry. Ha giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar frost like ashes. K? casteth forth His ice like tJtorsels; Vho can stand before His cold? He sendeth out His word, and n-elteth them; He causeth His wind to blow, and ti-.e waters flow.

Weather and rains have undone it again, And now you w^BRWIver know There was once a road through the woods Before they planted trees. It is underneath the coppice and heath. And the thin anemones. Only the keeper sees That, where the ring-dove broods. •4nd the badgers roll at ease, There was once a road through the woods. Yet, if you enter the woods Of a summer evening late, When the night-air cools on trout-ringed pools M'here the otter whistles mate (They fear not men in the woods, Because they see so few) You will hear the beat of the horse’s feet. And the swish of a skirt in the dew. Steadily centering through The misty solitudes. As though they perfectly knew The old lost road through the woods. But there is no road through the woods. —Rudyard Kipling. the his Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Holmes Brown of Elon College an nounce the engagement of their daughter, Margaret Catherine, to Clifton Lawrence McCotter, Jr., of Raleigh, son of Mr. and Mrs. McCottar of New Bern.
