I hope these verses may touch the feelingsof many who read them, and that, like thetreasures in our memories, while we sit bythe fireside and ponder them oer, peace maycomfort our hearts like a sweet benediction.

I cordiallywelcome the readers of this little book; B. F. The days farewell to the summer night. Photo by Miss Michigan. POEMS From Lifes Experience THE SUMMER MORN A blush of pink melting in the blue With a lingering star just peeping through, A glow of light where the robin sings, The breath of the roses blossomings, The silvery webs on the meadow grass, With tiny dewdrops overcast. The soft air stirred by the waking breeze To a low sweet song through the leafy trees, A thrill of joy in our souls newborn,— All tell of the beautiful summer morn. —From New England Mazazine, by B. F. Brown. THE SUNSET A royal gem was the rosy west,Of heavens works the loveliest,Draped with a sheen of opal light,The days farewell to the summer night. We watched while the Artist changed its tone,Till the brightest tints had softer as we gazed on the picture fair,We felt the hand of the Master there. POEMS FROM LIFES EXPERIENCE THE CURTAIN OF NIGHT Over the shadowy trees it the ivy-mantled
