Every home in this broad land

WON'T IT SOON BE SPRING?
By LILIAN LAUPERTY.
Dear Mother Earth, won't it soon be
spring?
Was that a robin? I heard him singl
Sweetly it came to me through the
ground
So that I woke from my slumber sound.
There was a murmur a 'soft and sweet
As patter and tiptoe of fairy feet;
Kach grassblade is trembling In tiny
sprout
O Mother Earth, may I please come
out?
Dear Mother Earth, in your heart of
brown
Here I have lain in my sleeping gown
Now 1 would cast it away and thrill
Up to the world as a gold daffodil.
Now I would push through the ground
that lies
Over my heart and below the skies;
There is a message I long to bring.
Dear Mother Earth, is it almost spring?
Dear Mother Earth, won't the spring
come coon?
Can't we set life to Its gentle tune
Ripple and murmur and ebb and flow
Tinkle and whisper of life aglow?
Here I have lain in my slumber fast.
Now I'm awake. Is the winter past?
1 want to see sklee and the birds a-wing
Kind Mother Earth, won't it soon be
spring?
Dear Mother Earth, I shall have to go;
Maybe it's cold, and the frost and snow
Will wither my leaves and blacken my
gold,
But 1 can't stay In your dark, brown
mold.
coming I'm here! Oh, T had to
see
.Tot the brooklet would murmur to
welcome me.
irk, that's the robin I hear him sing;
tiaffodll. dear, you have brought the
spring!"

To be the ,slavo of anything is to prove
wo are not masters. And man was meant
to bo,' master of himself and ot his en

Aristides
By REV. TllOMAB B. GIUCGOHY.
The ostraolsm of AHttldes took place,
as near as can be reckoned, about April
4, 4SS. B. C, four year after the glorious
victory of the Athenians qVer the, Per
sians at Marathon.. .
In that Immoral
action Arlstldes
bore a conspicu
ous part, and iti
may be said that
but for his enthusi
astic support of
Mlltlades there
would, in all proba
bility, have been
no battle at thai
time and place.
After Marathon
(Mlltlades having
died under a cloud),
Arlstldes and Thetnlstocles were the two
great men of tho Athonlnn stato and tho
hottest of political rivals. Of the two men
Themlatooles whs probably the greater
intellectually, whlld Arlstldes stood much
higher In tho esteem of his countrymen
on account of his rock-ribbed integrity
of ltfo and purposo.
The bono of Contention between, these
two famous politicians and thr respec
tive adherents jvas thin: "Shall Athena
bo converted from, a land power Into, a
sea ltower?" Thcmlstocles said "Yea,"
Arlstldes "No." In a pure democracy
like Athens the inevitable result was
political Btorm and confusion.
llut fortunately there had beer) provided
a way out of the difficulty. When two
or more party leaders, each powerful In
influence; had embarked on the prolonged,
and bitter opposition which threatened
to become a menace to the state, the
danger might bo warded off by the "os
tracism," so-called.
A number of .oltlsehe never leas than
t.OOQ were asked io vote secretly upon
the question! "Is thore any man whom
you think vitally dangorous to the state;
If so, whom?" Upon the counting; of the
ballots, the inan, against whom the larg
est number of votes appeared was ban

bera the story ot the Athenian voter
who , Unable to write, tiok his shell to
Arlstldes with the1 request that he write
the name ot Arlstldes upon it "Yhat
harm has Arlstldes done you?" vked tha
great man. "None at all," answered the
man, "but I am sick and tired of hear
ing him called the Just,"
It was a fortunate day f?r h'troantty
when It was decided that the poltay ot
Athena should be decided My Thtmlato
clta rather than by Aristide. Morally
speaking, Themlstoclea was nt fit to tla
Arlntides' shoestrings, but the eveht
showed that Themlntocles Wan right and

When the intgnty Invasion undr Xerxes
came It was the Athenian navy that
saved the day. If there had been no
Athenian battleships, It Is As certain as
can be thut the Persians would havo
overrun Greece and blotted nut Its glori
ous civilisation. ,
When Arlstldes, obedient to the voice of
th; people, went Into banishment, ho ex
pressed tho hope that il country mm
might nover regret their action. But
they did. After some six' years of exile
the grand old man was recalled. Vie i0t
back In tlmo to .take part . In '.he battle
of Salamls and' to share In the glory
ot Platea.
Bit nature was not soured, arid,
whether at home or In extln, he wus a

Old Xerxos being disposed of, Arlrt'dta
played an Important part In the affairs
of hiej eouritry, and by hla vtse ujunsels
did much toward securing lo hla natiVe
city Its proud pre-eminence among the
neighboring repubtloa.
In the mantlmo the Athenians were
thinking ot another appeal to the oitia
clam. Themlstoclea was looming rathtr
large, and In not1 Just the way that boded
good, and once mote the cltlsons ire
asked i "Is there any man whom you
consider dangerous to tho ktat-i? It
eo. Whom?" and this time the shadjw
fell on Arlstldes' old political -dvarary.
Arlstldes died three years otter the
ostracism of Thcmlstoclcs, full of years
and honors, but so poor that his friends
had to pay his funeral expenses the beet
evidence In the world of tho fait that
he belonged to the small but noble com
