THE VOICE OF THE SNOW.
Silently flying through the darkened air, swirling, glinting, to their appointed places, they seem to have taken counsel together, saying, "Come, we are feeble; let us help one another. We are many, and together we will be strong. Marching in close, deep ranks, let us roll away the stones from these mountain sepulchers, and set the landscape free. Let us uncover these clustering domes. Here let us carve a lake basin; there a Yosemite Valley; here, a channel for a river with fluted steps and brows for the plunge of songful cataracts. Yonder let us spread broad sheets of soil, that man and beast may be fed; and here pile trains of boulders for pines and giant sequoias. Here make ground for a meadow; there for a garden and grove."
JOHN MUIR,inThe Mountains of California.

It was winter in San Francisco—not the picturesque winter of the North or South, but a mild and intermediate season, as if the great zones had touched hands, and earth were glad of the friendly feeling. There is no breath from a cold Atlantic to chill the ardor of these thoughts. Our great, tranquil ocean lies in majesty to the west. It can fume and fret, but it does so in reason. It does not lash and storm in vain.
FRANCES CHARLES,inThe Siege of Youth.
May the tangling of sunshine and roses never cease upon your path until after the snows of Winter have covered your way with whiteness.
MARTIN V. MERLE,inThe Vagabond Prince, Act IV.
DECEMBER 15.
It was one of those wonderful warm winter days given to San Francisco instead of the spring she has never experienced. After a week's rain the sun shone out of a sky as warmly blue as late spring brings in other climates. The world seemed in a very rapture of creation. The bay below the garden, new washed and sparkling like a pale emerald, spread gaily out, and the city's streets terraced down to meet it. The peculiar delicacy and richness of California roses coaxed by the softness of the climate to live out-doors sent up a perfume that hot-house flowers cannot yield. The turf was of a thick, healthy, wet green, teeming with life. The hills beyond were green as summer in California cannot make them, and off to the west against the tender sky the cross on Lone Mountain was etched.
MIRIAM MICHELSON,inAnthony Overman.

The story is never fully told, and the power of paint or pen can never express entirely the glory or the strength of the conception which impelled it. The best is still withheld, inexpressible in human terms.
Our best songs are still unsung; our best thoughts are still unuttered and must so remain until eyes and ears and hands are quickened by a diviner life to a keener sensibility.
W.L. JUDSON,inThe Building of a Picture.
Another value in dialect is the fact that sounds are often retained that are lost in the standard speech, or softer, sweeter tones are fostered and developed.
JAMES MAIN DIXON,inDialect in Literature.

It is a compensation for many ills to awaken some December morning and feel in the air the warmth of summer and see in the foliage the glad green of spring. Children play in the parks, and the sun shines, and even the older folks grew merry. ∗ ∗ ∗ It had been such a day as comes during Indian summer in other countries. The air had been very kindly and had breathed nothing but gentleness toward man and vegetation. Toward February people would be out searching for wild flowers on the suburban hills.

How vain is life!Love's little spell,Hate's little strife,And then—farewell!How brief is life!Hope's lessening lightWith dreams is rife,And then—good night!

"Everyone for himself," is the law of the jungle. But slowly a new form of expression is shaping and we are beginning to take pride in the things that are "ours," rather than in that which alone is "mine."

"BACK THERE."
"Back there," the gambler-wind the snow is shuffling,Flake after flake down—dealing in despair;The bladeless field, the birdless thicket muffling,But now no more the river's stillness ruffling.Oh, bitter is the sky, and blank its stare—Back there!"Back there," the wires are down. The blizzard, meaningNo good to man or beast, shakes loose his hair.The storm-bound train and locomotive preeningHis sable plume, the ferry-boat, careeningBetween the ice-cakes, icy fringes wear—Back there!

"OUT HERE."
"Out Here," a mocker trills his carol olden,High-perched upon some eucalyptus near.The meadow lark replies; oranges goldenPeer from the green wherewith they are enfolden,And perfume fills the winey atmosphere—Out Here!"Out Here," through virgin soil, in sunlight mellow—Ay, and in moonlight!—man his plow may steer,Nor lose life's edge in friction with his fellow;Nor, parchment-bound, with yellowing creeds turn yellow,But feel his heart grow younger every year—Out Here!

HAPPY HEART.
As I go lightly on my wayI hear the flowers and grasses talk:I listen to the gray-beard rock:I know what 'tis the tree-tops say.A thousand comrades with me walkAs I go lightly on my way.As I go lightly on my wayA bonnie bird a greeting sings,And gossip from a far clime brings;A grumbling bee growls out "Good-day";A jest the saucy chipmonk flings,As I go lightly on my way.As I go lightly on my wayThe brook trips by with dancing feet,And Song and Laughter soft repeatTheir cadence as I watch its play;And whispers low the wind, and sweet,As I go lightly on my way.

EUCALYPTUS BLOSSOMS.

NIGHT ON THE DESERT.
All daylight he followed through endless hot marchesThe trail of a plodding desire:Now with night he has lost the fierce fever of getting,Adrowse by his dull-embered fire.Immeasurable silences compass him over,His body grows one with the streamsOf sands that slide and whisper around him;The stars draw his soul: and he dreams.

CHRISTMAS.
The sun's glory lies on the mountainLike the glow of a golden dream,Or the flush on a slumbering fountainThat wakes to dawn's roseate beam.So the year's day dies in a glory,And dying, like sunrays unfurled,Casts the peace and love of Christ's storyOver the heart of the world.

A manger-cradled child, his mother near,And one they call his father standing by,Shepherd and Magi, with the gifts they bear,An angel chorus rolling through the sky—Once more the sacred mystery we scan,And wonder if the Christ be God's best gift to man.Pale, patient Pleader, for the poor and thoseWhose hearts are homes of sorrow and of pain,Thy voice is as a balm for all their woes;Through twenty centuries it calleth plainAs when it breathed the invitation blest—"Ye weary, come to Me, and I will give you rest."Reason may seek to ruin, science scorn,But that great love of Thine hath made us wiseIn wisdom not of understanding born,That bids us turn to Thee with longing eyesAnd outstretched hands. We know that Thou art He.Nor do we seek a sign as did the Pharisee.Sweet festival that bringeth back once moreThe golden dreams of childhood, let us turnLike little children to the Christmas loreThat once did hold us spellbound, till we learnAgain the lesson of Thy love; for weMust be like children, Lord, ere we can come to Thee.

MEMORIES.
I watched the dying embers, my vision blurred apace—I trod once more that hallowed ground, of kith, of kin, of race.I saw again the turf-fire send its living flame on high,Saw youthful figures grouped around the Yule board, laden, nigh.The latch went up, the neighbors came and instantly good cheerWent 'round the festive gathering 'till the Christ-child hour drew near,The piper played, the dance began, and child and parent fondTripped back and forth, tripped high and low, with smile of loving bond.

As lone as God, and white as Winter moon,Mount Shasta's peak looks down on forest gloom.The storm-tossed pines and warlike-looking firsHave rallied here upon its silver spurs.Eternal tower, majestic, great and strong,So silent all, except for Heaven's song—For Heaven's voice calls out through silver barsTo Shasta's height; calls out below the stars,And speaks the way, as though but quarter rodFrom Shasta's top unto its maker, God.

ELECTRICITY ON THE COMSTOCK.
Born from nothing, it leaps into existence with the full-fledged strength of a giant, dies, is born again; lives a thousand lives and dies a thousand deaths in a single pulsating second of time.
It soars to every height, plunges to every depth, and stretches its vast arms throughout illimitable space.
It plants the first blush upon the cheek of dawn; with brush of gold upon the glowing canvas of the west, it tells the story of the dying day.
At its mere whim and caprice, a thousand pillars of light leap from the dark and sullen seas which surge about the poles, while from its shimmering loom it weaves the opalescent tapestry of the aurora to hang against the black background of the arctic night.
It rouses nature from her winter sleep, breaks the icy fetters of the frost that binds the streams, lifts the shroud of snow from off the landscape, woos the tender mold and bids the birth of bud and blossom; dowers the flower with perfume and clothes the earth with verdure of the spring.
It rides the swift courses of the storms that circle round the bald crest of old Mount Davidson; cleaves the black curtain of the night with scimitar of flame; rouses the lightnings from their couch of clouds and wakes the earthquake.
Beneath its touch, the beetling crag, which took omnipotence a thousand years to rear, crumbles into dust, the mere plaything of the idle wind; it lays its hand upon the populous city with its teeming, restless multitude. And yesterday, where stood the glittering spire, the shining tower, the frowning battlement, today the cold gray ocean rolls in undisputed might.
It gathers the doings of the day from the four corners of the world, the tales of love and death, of fire and flood, of strife and pestilence, and under eight thousand miles of shivering sea, whispers the babble of two hemispheres.
It turns the wheels of peace where poor men toil, and helps the husbandman to plow and plant and reap his whispering grain.
It rides the wings of war where brave men die; and when it stalks between contending hosts, exalts the kingly crest and helps an empire plant its flag of conquest.
It glows in lonely attics where weary workers toil to earn their crust. It shines o'er scenes where feet of feasters tread the halls of revelry. It lights the mourners on their pathway to the tomb. It glares in haunts where jeweled ringers lift the cup of pleasure to the month of sin, 'mid the sobbing of the sensuous music and flow of forbidden wine; and speeding on its way illumes the dim cathedral aisle, where surpliced priest proclaims the teachings of the master, and golden-throated choirs lift their hosannas to the King of Kings.
It was the Maker's ally at the dawn of time, and when God from the depths of infinite space, said "Let there be light," it sent the pulse of life along creation's veins, baptized earth's cold brow with floods of fire, and stood the sponsor of a cradled world.
