q WHY THE SEA IS SALr.-The remembrance
of " the bountiful Frodi echoed in the songs
of German poets long after the story which made
him so bountifal had been forgotten but the
Morse Skalds could tell not only the story Of
FrodIs wealth and bounty, but also of his down
fall and ruin. In FrodPs house were two maid
ems Of that cid giant race, Fenja and Menjl.--
These daughters Of the giant he had bought as
slaves, and he made them grind his quern or
hond-mill, Grotti, out Of which he used to grind
peace and gold. Even in that golden age one
sees there were slaves, and Frodi, however boun-
tiful to his thames and people, was hard task

The Lamb that Built a College

What beautiful building'' said l, as
we paused--my friend and lin our walk
under the trees in the colleges grounds, and
looked at new building just finished. 1t was
handsome, and useful, and will probably stand
there for generations to come.
That building, said my friend, was built
by little lamb.

- Tighten our Darkness

Tighten our darkness, Lord of Light
Disperse from US the shades OF night.
The right is deep where shall we go,
But to thy sunlight's bless ed glow?
We grOpe, We grieve, are lost are lone
Oh guide us to thy spotess throne
The twilight of our being raise
Unto thy starlight's hsllowed gaze
From starlight to thy crovning day,
Which takes our darkest shades away
Tighten our darkness, Lord Of Ligh!
Afar the day CLEANS on our sight
The distances lie distant still
We wait the moving Of thy will.
The valleys where dim footsteps go,
Are full Of music sweet and low,
Which sounds from Thy angelic choirs,
To kindle all our kind desires
We long from darkness to upsoar
Where night enfoIds US neYermore.
Tighten our darkness, Lord of Light a
Guard thou our slumbers through he night ;
Watch o er the world, where our repose
Is watched by irieRds and watched by foes ;
Where gloom and brightness interblend,
Till sleep and deathlike stiffness end.
When thy eternal morning breaks
The spell this earthly slumber makes,
For all the blackness of the night,
Give US thy glory, Lord of Light

Waiting for our Soldiers.

,erefore will give men for thee, and people for
a5 thy life."
By the blue Potomac's waters
By the Rappah annock's line,
By the sunny Southern rivers,
Meath the holly and the pine,
Falling in the shock of battle,
Wounded, in their blood they lie,-
Pining wi tn theidark malsria,-
SO our youthful patriots die.
In the city, in the village,
In the hamlet far away,
Sit the mothers, watching, waiting
For their soldier-boys to day.
They are coming--daly coming,
One by one, aud score by score,
In their leaden castings folded
Underneath the flag they bore.
Thinks the mother, weeping, waiting,
And expectant all the day
When his regiment was summoned
How her soldier went away;
With his bayonet cleaning.
With his knapssck on his back
With his blanket strapped and folded,
And his home filled haverssck. ...
Thinking of the courage swelling .....
In his eye and in his heart, t.
Though manly tear was yelling
When he kissed her to depart.
Thinking Of his precious letters,
Written by the camp fires glow.
Rich in love of home and country,
And Of her who bade him 60
Counting now the tagging moments
For the knocking at the door,
For the shutting and the trampng
Feet ofstrangers on the floor,
Bringing in their precious burden
Leaving her to grief and tears,
To the sorrow and the mourning
Darkening all the coming wears.
Stay the wailing and the signing,
. Who in bitterness complain;
Saids't thou that our sons were dying,
Pouring out their blood IN vain?
God forbid He says the frst-born
That the people may be free
Not drop of blood is wasted
