TWO VIEWS.
From a number of apples I chose a gem For brightness and golden tinting, And thought as I looked at its delicate skin Of it» meed of sweet unttinting. But judge of my sorrow when right at the core A worm in retreat was hiding— 'Twas a contrast deep to the beauty smiling On the shining surface abiding. "That apple," thought I, "with, ita fiUttering show Of surface beauty beguiling, Is a symbol of many a friendship gay That hides its hollowness smiling." — M. A. JT. Wai*! Lake View, "Waihola, April 1896.
