after the shower. (By Nimrod of Frosty.) Soon after the rolling of thunder had ceased The arch of a rainbow was spanning the East) The rush of the wind and the patter of rain, \/ere gently subsiding, the sun shone again. The birds ouickly came from their sheltered retreat, 'Their flight was more playful, their singing more sweet. .All nature, so sad and despondent awhile, Was lifting her face with a jubilant smile. T- e lowers no longer were drooping their heads For life-giving water had spilled on their beds, The clods that were lifeless and use- 1 less before, Now '•'’umblftd and yielded the plant food in store. The brook long silent, having nothing to do. Was hastily sweeping its channel a-j new. The dust-laden atmosphere, hard to endure j Nn.v robbed of its burden was whole some and pure. How splendid the vision that greeted the eye i “With the following calm as the storm went by; What wonderful magic a shower can , wield I Imprinting its kisses on garden and, field. All nature seems happy and grateful indeed To Him who dispenses the blessings v r e need, For all of our planting and toiling ’ is vain Unless we are blessed with His show .ers of rain. THE GUIDE POST, {Henry Van Dyke.) “I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.”—Psalms f77:5. Henrv Ford says that “history is all bunk.” That remark itself has become his torical. But Carlyle says that “history is the essence of innumerable biograph ies,” and most wise men agreed with him. All the roads of life have been trav eled by other men and nations before us. Why not learn something from their experience ? Peace, prosperity, victory have been won in former times. Why not inquire of the past how good results have been attained? Strife, disaster, misery have been found on certain courses. Why pay a new price to learn an old lesson ? At the cross-roads is the place to read the sign-posts and ask questions. What our age needs is to face the facts of life more frankly and to think more soberly about them. Deliberation is no waste of time. It is a saving of expense.

Os course, the white people of the South have genuine sympathy and good will for all law-abiding, in dustrious colored pepole and would like to see them stay here and con tinue to help build up this great sec tion of the country.
