Excerpt from The Flowers of Wit Wit may be considered as much the same talent as genius. Or it may be said to be that species of genius, which displays itself, not in long and deliberate compositions, such as epic poetry and tragedy, but in the short and rapid sallies of conversation.

Excerpt from Wild Flowers Lo! The herds have abandoned their flocks beloved, The wise'men have journeyed from'distant parts, TO proffer their incense, gold, and myrrh, Whilst we have naught but our sin-stained hearts. Oh, these sin-stained hearts! We pause in distress; Our hope'and joy for a while are chilled'; But anon we picture the Babe's sweet eyes Our courage revives, our fears are stilled. For the heart that is sad with remembered sin, The heart that is weary and sore oppressed, Or the poor heart crushed with some untold pain, May be just the heart that the Child loves best. Anon we will pass through the cold, drear night TO the stable blest, our homage to pay, And there will we kneel at the manger's side, In a thrill of delight, till the dawn Of day.

Excerpt from Flowers of Thought Now send forth to my home city and the world my col 1 lected waifs of thought, which have come to me out of the Silence. Many of them have been printed several times and as they have been received with courtesy and kindness by strangers, I trust they will be more warmly received by my own kinsmen. That they will bear criticism, if viewed in the light of poetic cult, there is not a doubt but I make no claims, as do those who have made a life study of poesy for this is simply a gift given to me of God, which I have ever held in trust, and sent forth without money, without price, to comfort weary hearts wherever I found them. They may not all be understood by all who read; but I have tried to give variety, so each could take that which suited best.

Excerpt from The Ministry of Flowers: And Other Poems The writer has entered the realm of thought with a poet's eye and a poet's heart. The beauties of nature for her always possessed a charm, and seemed to draw her nearer the fountain head of bliss. She has climbed the delectable mountains or wandered in flowery meads, and has here and there culled a flower whose freshness and perfume have filled her soul with delight. May she not hope that what has proved a blessing to herself may not be unacceptable to others? In sending forth this little volume she has conquered her own timidity, strong in the conviction that she is doing right. She does not claim for it perfection, but hopes that something will be found therein which is calculated both to please and profit. She has tried to make virtue prominent, and compelled fiction to subserve her interests. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Wayside Flowers It is ever a pleasure to introduce our friends. We want the world to know them and to share with us the delight of acquaintance and communion. This is something more than a selfish joy; it is altruistic. What enriches us will add to the wealth of others. It is not in any sense a formal duty that devolves upon me. It is with a rare sense of inner satisfaction that I respond to the request to write an introductory paragraph or two for "Wayside Flowers." The writer is pleased to count the author among the friends who have a place in the holy of holies of his life. Our lives have run for a time, side by side, like streams that seek the same great sea. In the Church we love, in the Epworth League, to which we have been alike devoted, in social work for God and humanity, it has been my privilege to feel the pulse-beat of this young life. That you may know my friend in some measure, I would introduce to you "Wayside Flowers." These poems exhale a fragrance that will exert an influence to sanctify every-day life.
