THE QUIVER 13 was in school. Hut out in the world, the fearsome, indifferent, and work-a-day world, which we are soon to know, shall we find that people will always have patience with us? It takes so little time to l e kind, patient, and for-hearing, for patience is not only a virtue, hut is a valuable asset in the business world. THE STORM I An actual experience) Up from the west the “thunder-heads rolled. Below, all was blackness; above, all was gold. Kar off on the hills the rain was a mist. That ever came nearer and pelted and hissed. A Hash of lightning, a shuddering Ixxmi. And the storm broke over the woods like doom. The deep-rooted pine-trees, so sturdy and strong, Bent over and roared as the wind passed along. The silvery lake, which in rest fulness lay. Was raised by the storm-gusts and blown into spray. The lightning flashed, the wild winds howled. The thunder crashed and roared and growled. Blown by the angry wind, soaked to the skin. Shelterless, helpless, amid Nature’s din. We heard the awful organ j eal While the ground l eneath us seemed to reel. As with one last crash, like a bursting shell. ()r the echoing boom of a warning l ell. The lightning ceased, the sky grew fair. Onlv a mutter was heard in the air. Then the woodland noises, stilled by fear. Broke out more clearly on the ear, And the birds, all silenced by Nature’s spree. Burst into singing from every tree. J ). vtt Bruce. 27.
