THE TRUE POET
(J. L. Brown)
Can you tell, or do you know' it,
How the world obtains a poet?
lie’s born, not made by art of school;
He lives apart from courts of rule.
A son of nature, a friend of art,
The seed of genius is in his heart:
A fountain of love, a mine of light,
That beam in words on fancys flight.
As it wings its way through leafy June,
Or gathers a ray from the crescent
moon,
Or bathes its feet in the restless tide—
That ceaseless beat on the ocean
side.
You cannot make a mind like this,
Winged in fancy, filled with bliss,
No more than paint the dazzling light,
Of rainbow hues in dew drops bright.
Or music make, like evening breeze,
That softly sings through! forest
trees;
You can paint the star, but not its
light,
That gleams athwart the fields of
night.
You can paint the flower with leaf and
bloom,
But you cannot paint its sweet per
fume;
The river paint, in its onward flow,
But not the sound of its music 1<>w.
These things belong to Nature’s store;
We see. we hear them, and adore;
They fill our mind, they thrill our
heart,
They live in Nature, not in art.
So the true poet has his power,
In Nature’s fountain — like the
flower,
Or flashing dew-drop of the morn,
lie is not made, he must bo born.

ADOPT CUSTOMS OF EUROPE
Old Country Idea* for the Celebration
of Easter Have Found Favor
In America.
In many homes in America there
have been transplanted some of the
old country Easter customs. One of
these is the Scotch custom of egg roll
ing. On Easter morning the entire
family practices this custom with
brightly decorated eggs, boiled so hard
that there is no danger of their crack
ing. Very few of the English customs
have been transplanted, however, al
though the various shires of England
have notably quaint Easter observ
ances.
In Shropshire and Herefordshire,
and especially at Shrewsbury, it is the
custom to make for Easter a rich and
expensive cake that is known as slm
nel cake. These, simnel cakes are
raised cakes, with a crust made of
fine flour and water with saffron col
or added*to give it a deep yellow col
or. The cake itBelf Is a very rich
plum cake, with candied lemon peel
added. The crust is of the consist
ency of set cement. There Is a tradi
tion that Herefordshire women have
used simnel cakes as footstools, and
it is known that the cake is common
ly boiled in order to be made edible.
The simnels are usually marked with
a figure of Christ or of the Virgin,
thus preserving the religious signifi
cance of the day.
Another special English Easter cake
is the Biddenden cake. In the parish
of Biddenden there is an endowment
of unknown date, supposed to have
been made by two women named
Preston, for making a distribution of
cakes among the poor ever£ Easter
Sunday afternoon. The source of the
benefaction consists of twenty acres
of land, commonly called the "bread
and cheese” lands. Six hundred of
these Biddenden cakes and 270 loaves
of bread are distributed under this
endowment.
The Great Beyond.
The return of Easter is one of our
Lord's ways of letting down a ladder
to us that we may climb to the stars
and see a little of the great beyond.
Toilers of the plains below, we often
miss the flashing lightB thrown across
the battlements for our relief. En
riched in soul we shall descend to
morrow to follow again the well-worn
path of duty. But there wilt be a
cheer upon the lips and a Bong in the
heart, for we have dwelt a little in the
heights, and the consummation of our
hope draweth nigh!—Rev. M. Camp
bell.
