I am happy to print tha beautiful little ong you requested some time ago, as several have responded to the request for It. THE BROKEN PINION I walked through the woodland meadows. Where sweet the rushes sang; And I found on a bed of mosses A bird with a broken wing: I healed Its wound, and each morning It sang Its old sweet strain. But the bird with tha broken pinion Never soared as high again. I found a young life broken By sin's seductive art; And, touched with a ChrUt-Uke pity, I took him to my heart. He lived with a noble purpose And struggled not in vain; But the life that sin had stricken Never soared as high again. But tha bird with tha broken pinion Kept another from the snare; And the life that sin had stricken Raised smother from despair. Each loss has Its compensation. There Is healing tor every pain; But tha bird with a broken Pinion Nevr soars as high again. To MART ELLEN, Sheridan, Ore. And now through tha kindness of another an-other reader I am enabled to print th words to your aong and I am sura all the readers will enjoy It. THE COTTAGE BT THE SEA Childhood's days now pass before ma Forms and scenes of long ago, Like a dream they hover o'er me. Calm and bright aa evening glow Days that knew no shade of sorrow. When my young heart, pur and free Joyful hall'd each coming morrow ' In tha cottage by the sea. Fancy aees the rose-trees twining. Round the old and rustic door; And, below, the white beach shining. Where I gathered shells of yore; Hears my mother's gentle warning, Aa aha took me on her knee; And I feel again life's morning In the cottage by the aea.

Aa then plays "The last Rose of Summer." He plays It ao beautifully that the sady In the box cries and says. "No! No! See, the world Is full of roses," and throws her rosea on the stage before the artist. On thorn clings to tha strings.
