The way %vas dreary, and tired my feet, For many a step had they been that clay. And my heart* was weary and longed to greet The ones beloved who w,ere far. away. Lonely, yet not alone ! For I turned The eyes that brimmed with forgetful tears To the heav'n above mo where pale stars burned And there was an answer to all my fears ! In the fading light of the datk ning sky There stretched from the west above my head Two soft §?rey clouds that were floating by, Like a vision of angel wings outspread. Yes, "He shall ide thee under His wings," ' Came the old sweet words from the page Divine, • And the lonely heart in new fervour clings - To the loving Father who sent that sign. "■ In/ja.
Sfc. Peter (to applicant) : * ' You say you were an editorial writer on an Auckland morning newspaper ?" '\ Yes, sir." "Step into the elevator, please." (Steps in;) " How soon does it go up ?" "It doesn't go up, it goes down."
