Show Limitless Variety of Nature Seen at Doorway We arc op and away nowadays, needing fait for change; yet In meadow near my own doorway I have learned more of the limitless va riety .of nature than I have learned Id following marvels very far. The trees that I know best are never I twice the mine, because of the war of the wind with their leaves, of the on upon thetn, of their noonday shining shin-ing and their evening shadow. Can the rm with Its waves give more of change than a June meadow of long grass, where the wind has Its way through long afternoon? Where ran yon find beauty that will surpass these green waves, rising, falling, breaking, strewn with blossoms of buttercup, daisy, and red clover? The alt ocean has no such fragrance as that which comes from bay and clover and tweet grass newly shorn. Have yon ever watched tbe winds and tides In fields of wheat and rye, the Ion? golden waves, the swift shadow of bird wings across them, and, just above, against the sky. slow-sailing white clouds that drift and dr ft to summer seas of dim blue base?
