Not sound washeard save the schoolboy , shout
Az the master fast We hurried, 1 ii
To hole IN the ice already cut.
Where the hFvsen stream lay buried. S#E
We ducked him there about daylight,
The ice with an old AZ choppfng,
Though it had been q cold and rainy night,
And the cold rain still was dropping.
His hands lay tied upon his breast,
Nor In sheet norin shroud we wound him,
But he lay Ikea master taking biz rest,
With the schoolboys al around him. t.T
Many and loud were the words We nid, II
But we spoke not w0gVl Of SORROW
And in the masters face We read,
That he would not treat on the morrow.
We thought - we dragged him along On the ice,
And our demands for treat repealed,
That rather than have been served 80 twice.
Atonce we would have treated.
And many peshapc will make fun AMI deride,
And behind his back win uphraid him;
But hsw could he help il, when they had him tied.
And on the cold ice had laid him. .E-
When be said he would treat we all returned,
For it was late in the morning; ....
And We hoped, the lesson he had learned,
Would prove to each teacher warning.
With shouts of triumph We all walked hack
With the master wet and dripping,
And though his looks were dark and black,
Not one Of Us got whipping.

From the K ricSerook.r Magazine THE UNSEEN BATTLEFIELD.

There is an unseen battle field
 In every human breast. Where two opposing forces meet, But where they seldom rest That field is veil'd from mortal sight,
 lls only >een by One Who knows alone where victory lies When each days fight is done One army clusters strong and fierce, Their chief of demon form; His brow Is like the thunder cloud
 His voice the bursting storm His captains. Pride, and Lust. and Hate, Whose troops watch night and Jay, Swllt to detect the weakest polnt, Anl thrsting for the fray. Contendng with this mighty force Is but a little band; Yet there with an unquailing front. Those warriors firmly stand! Thrir leader is of God like form Of countenace serene; And glowing on his naked breast
 simple cross is seen. His captains, Faith, and Hope, and Love, Point to that wondrous sign: And gazing on it, all receive
 Strength from a Source divine They feel it speaks glorious truth, A truth as great as sure. That to be victors they must learn To lope, co.fde, endure. That faith sublime in widest strife. lmparts a holy calm; For every deadly blow a shield,
 For every wound balm. And when they win that battle field, Past toll is quite forgot; Tn plain where carnage once had reigned, Becomes Il hallowed spot. spot where flowers of joy and peace Spring from the fertile sod; And breathe the perfume of their praise On ever, breeze -tn God.
