Jr THE YELLOW SPRING There's a stream that Hows mute from a source underground Through caverns unsunned far below But it breaks to the light at last out from a mound On the brink of the glen that we know. Here's mystery deep, and there's magic besides, For the spring like an alchemist old Transmutes the dull rocks in the bed where it glides 'Til they glow with a tinge as of gold. We asked as we mused by the weird yellow spring: I-Iow far and how long have you run? And whence comes the witchery wild that you fling O'er the rocks as you break to the sun P We asked, but the spring uttered never a word To our questions. Then suddenly fell A sound o'er the woods, from the twin towers we heard The call of the Antioch bell. From, To Old Antioch Friends, by Iames K. Hosmer, one time professor of Rhetoric at Antioch, 1866-1872, son of Doctor George W. Hosmer, President of Antioch 1866-1872. Iames was an author of note and lately died at the age of 37

DELIGI-I'1'IfUL reading, Hugh Walpole. HThe Old Ladies. Appropriate to be sitting curled up in a corner of the sofa in front of the glowing fire. And that sprig of bittersweet in a vase on the clesk-sig- niHc:1ut too. So this is the library! Oh yes, there are technical books on those shelves and technical students at some of those tables. But here on the hearthstoiie is a corner of untechnicul clelightfulness. 89
