Along the border ran graceful arabesques, swelling into scallops and dotted with stars, embroidered in some rich red thread; and in one corner, enclosed in a wreath of exquisitely designed fuchsias, the large, elaborately ornate capitals "B.

Hope exorcises the gaunt spectre of defeat, and fancy fingers unwon trophies and fadeless bays; but slow-stepping experience, pallid, blood-stained, spent with toil, lays her icy hand on the rosy veil that floats before bright, brave, young eyes, and lo' the hideous wreck, the bleaching bones, the grinning, ghastly horrors that strew the scene of combat!
All things go nothing lingers but those days on the Rowanty, amid the sunset gilded pines, come back with all their tints, and are fadeless in my memory. Going back thus in thought, to that winter of 1864, I recall the friendly faces of Katy, and all my old comrades I hear their laughter again, touch their brave hands once more, and salute them, wishing them long life and happiness. "Farewell!"
Across the sky in letters of light I would write these words of James Oliver: TO BENEFIT YOURSELF, YOU MUST BENEFIT HUMANITY.

I stooped and caught it quickly surely it was a real rose from some dewy garden of the earth, and no dream! "One rose from all the roses in Heaven!" said the mystic Voice, in tones of enthralling sweetness "One fadeless and immortal! only one, but sufficient for all! One love from all the million loves of men and women one, but enough for Eternity!
But they say those are fadeless; and Saint Gelais has had to leave the Court in fear of his life for swearing that she keeps them ever fresh by daily bathing her face in sow's milk." And he laughed as he added: "But come, now, it is time to be moving."
