HARBAUGH lTbrou~bont Ohio are foond tbe celebrated ,{rDctare-- of lhe my..tic race known as tbe Mound Builder.. of whom no authentic history b obtainable., They lived in the past that is misty and dim, They loved and they huilt hy the rivulet's hrim, They melted away like the snow in the sun Where down to the oceans the swift rivers run; The mounds that they huilt are theIr tablets today, But they, as a people, have vanished away, And the river flows on with its music of old, But the Mound Builder's story today is untold. He went ere the Indian invaded the wild, The forests unknowable, mystical child, The chieftains who came with the spear and the plume Saw only the mounds 'mid the forests deep gloom; No graves of the race that forever was gone, No tombs in the starlight and none in the dawn, No echoes of voices that rang with delight, No laughter of children that greeted the night. His secret is kept by the years that have fled Where once by his altars he mourned for his dead, And thousands have come from the oversea lands To marvel and gaze at the work of his hands; The sky is as blue as in days long ago Where deep in the forest he bended his bow, And the wild roses bloom wbere the Mound Builder maid Went forth to the lover who haunted the glade. The renturies come and the centuries go. The Mound Builder sleeps 'neath the rain and the snow, The book of his life not a mortal has scanned, And nothing remains but the skill of his hand; He came and he vanished, his hopes and his fears, Are hidden fore'er in the heart of the years, Tbe rivulet glints where he fretted his day And left to the ages a mystery gray. -From Ff,ur-Track .J.Yeu's.

Yes. and let him know That you love him. ere life's evening Tinge his brow with sunset glow Wby should good words ne'er be said Of a friend -till he is dead? If you hear a song that thrill you, Sung by any child of song, Praise it. Do not let the singer Wait deserved praises long. Why should one who thrills your heart Lack the joy you mav impart? If you hear a prayer that move you, By its humble, pleading tone, Join it. Do not let the seeker Bow before his God alone. Why should not your brother share The strength of "two or three" in prayer? If you see the hot tears falling From a brother's weeping eyes, hare them. And by kindly sharing, Own your kinship with the skies. Why should anyone be glad When a brother' heart i sad? If a silvery laugh goes rippling Through the sunshine on his face, Share it. 'Tis the wise man's saying For both grief and joy a place. There's health and goodness in the mirth In which an hone t laugh has birth. If your work is made more easy By a friendly helping hand, Say so. Speak out brave and truly, Ere the darkness veil the land. Should a brother workman dear Falter for a word of cheer? Scatter thus your seeds of kindness, All enriching as you go- Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver He will make each seed to grow. So until its happy end, Your life shall nel'er lack a friend. _ Aullzorslzip Unknown. 68 THE INDIAN SCHOOL JOURNAL HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN. kindliness. The gentleman is a gentleman in his home.
