era to boost does not accomplish anything. Why do not you take the initiative in the matter? By so doing, you will be a benefactor not only in your own day but also to all who shall come after for many generations. Logan, Utah
A little attention to fences, shade trees, and flowers, works wonders in giving a home-like atmosphere.
A Woman's Love As well seek mellow grapes in Greenland's zone, Recall time's chariot tho' a moment gone, Appease the desert pilgrim's burning heat — With words of hope his thirst to mock and cheat Or stay the ocean's fury, as to force Against desire affection's innate course. Compulsion's fetters but awaken hate, Love's only barrier is the monster fate. She knows no peril, obstacle or chain, Reciprocated.What can e'er restrain? Though unasserted by the formal tie Love links itself; nor distance can deny The voiceless converse of each parted soul, Though boundless oceans may between them roll; Convince the mind against resisting will, It mocks thee with "the same opinion still."
Go grasp the clouds,—the vapors as they rove, Then force, against desire, A Woman's Love. Beaver, Utah Josiah Rogerson
