MY SNOWFLAKES ORIGIN.
A snowflftke fell earthward from out the blue sky, A-idlit on the wing of an angel near by, On the wide, outspread pinions unnoticed it lav. Till the b-ight angel entered t) c (?reat gates of "day, Then folding her white wings she first «aw the flake, And, seeing it, prayed the All-Father to make It into a mortal, as pure and as fair . As the little white flake she had carried up there. The All Father smiled, and straight granted the whole. And save to the snowfiakea great noble soul. Aud the sunbeams fell on her, so golden and fair, And •arth'i children afterward called them her
hair. A wte, roty cloud that was near to the throne • $<rv« top,- for tor fßpwtb, ino^tby flu wfcnjr atotf b ;
And two little stars, that burned blear iothe skies. Ana when they had formed her, a being most fair, The gentle winds bore her through, dim' autumn air And left her, to brighten the world with her grace, Until God called her home to His blest dwelling place. '
