2 » }omt Blest beyond all lands in wealth and beauty, Lavished o’er with heaven’s costliest smile, Thy righteous sons ne’er shirking right or duty, Nor filled with hate nor greed, nor loathsome guile. Thy rugged peaks and lofty towering mountains O’er which bright gossamer clouds forever roam, Thy sun-kissed vales with cool refreshing fountains, Thrice blest thou art in truth my mountain home. The cool refreshing breeze from yon deep canyon O’er filled with odorous breath of sage and pine, Clear sparkling rivulets where ’een the pignon Drops down into thy glittering watery mine. In wastes of wild uncouth and rolling hillside The sego lilies raise their modest heads, And happy nooks and winding, twisting roadsides Are filled with sunflowers and with mustard beds. O’er fields where waste and desolation hovered Is waving now bright golden tasseled corn, And rugged slopes with rocks and cactus covered, Rich fruits and golden harvests now adorn. The azure canopy of blue above us Looks down upon the Great Salt Sea below. The Lord of Day throws his bright sheen around us, And turns its waters to a golden glow. All honor to those brave and hopeful pilgrims Who left homes, happiness and dearest friends, With liberty and love of God their emblems Traversed the weary waste to western sands. They knew not what the future was before them, But longingly to heaven turned their eyes, And God his richest portion showered upon them— Their desert drear became a paradise. Frances M. Rogers.

2 THE ACORN rfjrottfll) ti)c UaUejf of The sun sank, leaving the west a dull, red glow. Softly the gray shadows of twilight came creeping, creeping over the deep blue ocean, over the land, and up the distant mountain side, leaving the crest illumined for a few seconds in almost blinding brightness. Then suddenly as if by magic, this light, too, dis- appeared, the scarlet hue gave place to a hue of inky blackness, and silent night reigned supreme, her stillness broken only by the wind as it shrieked through the riggings of the vessel, which lay anchored in the harbor. “Do you think it safe to venture out tonight, Captain?” asked Louis Lorimer pausing at the cabin-door. Safe!” Well I suppose so. Here we have been delayed four hours already, because of that other mishap. I can’t lose any more time, for I promised to be at Promotory Point by noon tomorrow, and old Captain Muller never breaks his word.” “Even if he should break his neck,” laughed Louis, push- ing his cap farther back on his head. Then assuming a more serious air, he continued, “but I thought the sky looked like a storm and-------.” “O, yes, perhaps, but nothing serious. Didn’t you see the red sun-set? That’s a sure sign of a fair day tomorrow.” Louis retraced his steps back to the deck, where a young man, about his own age, sat in an invalid chair, his eyes fixed upon space. “Well, Bob, what are you thinking about?” asked Louis lightly as he sank into a chair beside his companion. “Are you sorry to leave the scenes of your childhood?” “Sorry?” repeated Bob listlessly, “what for?” “When I came up just now, I thought you had rather a sorrowful expression on your face,” returned Louis quiet- ly. “Perhaps it was only fancy.” “Perhaps,” murmured Bob evasively, shading his pale face with one thin hand as though he feared that the glim- mering light from the moon would reveal his thoughts. Louis was silent for a few minutes, watching the dark clouds gathering in the west.
