Our circle is broken, our tears often flow They'll be missed at meal-time, their voice no more here, They are missed in the morning, at noon, and at night, We try to be cheerful, but sorrow will come, In loving remembrance of the dear ones who perished on the Great Lakes, oth Nobember, 1913. ae? The voice of our dear ones wé now hear no more, They have fallen asleep on some cold, lonely shore; > For those dear ones whoiye gone to a deep grave below. They're all missed at home, so lonely and sad, Their places of childhood where all once was glad; But still there are times when we think they are near. SS Their duties were hard, yet it's ever in sight; -- == When we think of our dear ones so far from their home. a So Heaven now retains our treasure, All the lakes some dear ones keep, And the sea-gulls long to linger Where our dear ones lay asleep. = , Oh! dear one, thy gentle voice is hushed, "" Your warm, true heart is still, And on your pale and peaceful face Is resting death's cold chill. Your hands are not placed on your breast,' No one has kissed your brow, But in our aching hearts we know We have lost some dear ones now. 3 Ea Here let us wait with patience, Wait till the storm is o'er, We may hear of some dear ones Alive on some lonely shore. --J.

Tap, tap, tap,--can't you hear it against your window--beating with tattered wings--feebly fluttering-- gently calling you? There's a lost dream out there under the pitying stars--a dream born in the simple trust of childhood ---once radiant with faith, but now spent and weary with journeying from heart to heart. Ever so many years ago you, too, sped such a hope-spangled message into the dark. When the first cry- s'al skies broke into diamond dust and silvered copse and mead, your imagination leaped astride a pranc- ing snowdrop and went riding across the hills and over the woods, upon a moonbeam, to Santa Claus and whispered your yearnings into his kind old ears. , : And sure enough, when you slip- ped out of bed, and crept downstairs on Christmas morning, there was the tree exactly as vou wanted it, and the stockings filled precisely as you expected. with the orange bulging in the toe and the monkey-on-the- stick grinning impudently at the top. The memory of your first sled is still as vivid as its coat of crimson. - You didn't tell him to decorate it and it was mighty fine of him to put guch a beautiful oil painting in the middle. . You had taken your Mother into your confidence, so she knew every item of the list; and my! but wasn't she surprised to think old Santa Claus, with all the other children in the world to look out for, had rem- embered you so generously? The very fact that God guided our hopes to safety should make us so grateful for memories that bring with them the faces and voices of dearly beloved ones asleep under weeping willows and brooding cyp- resses--that it ought to be a joy to bring happiness in their names. -- Herbert Kauffman, in Woman's World for December.
