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.

Nobody Should Oppose What is Best.
Winston-Salem Journal.
The Journal is in hearty accord with
the News and Observer when it con
tends that nobody ought to oppose
the going of any man, white or black,
to another State if he believes he can
find better living conditions and bet
ter pay. 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. But if the neg
roes can find a better place to live
than this, they should find it and no
body should say them nay.
