HIDE-AND-SEEK. In the sunshine and the shade Hide-and-seek we children played, ’Mid the fragrance of Spring, Where the birds were twittering. Oh, the sweet delightful places, Leafy screens for rosy faces; Oh, the joy to grope and look In each bushy, darksome nook ! How we triunrolled when we heard Smother’d laugh and whisper’d word Merry tumbles, rush and shriek Were the joys of hide-and-seek. Dearest, will you still deceive | With the sports of make-believe F Do vou dream that still we stayin the fields.of childish play? Ah’ those frolic days have left us; Years have passed us, and bereft us. See, the shadows .fall around von— Dearest, it is time I found you. —Arthur L. Salmon. Bt, James’s Budget.
