4 Traveller through a dusty -oat
Strewed acorus o. the len.
And one took root and sprcutef up
And grew into tree.
Love sought it shade al evening time,
To breath ~ early vows,
And Age was pleased In hearts Of noon-
To bask beneath its b0ugns-
The dOrm0uss loved is dangling twigs,
The birds sweet music bore
Il stood glory in its peace.

A little spring had lost iis way
Among the grass and isrn,
A passing stranger scoopel vol,
Whore weary men might turn.
H. walled it in and hung with care
A label az the brink

But judged that t0i. m ght drink.
He passed aCain-anc lO the well.
By summers never dried.
Had cooled ten thousand parching Tongues
And saved iii. beside

LABRADOR DoGs.-During the winter season
the Labrador dogs make full return to their
masters for all the anxiety and trouble they give
them during the summer months Harnessed 70

coast, they travel fifty or sixty miles a dsy over
the snow. They haul wood from the interior.
carry supplies to the hunters in the forest far
back from the rocky and desolste coast, merrily
draw their masters from house 70 house. and
with their wonderful nose pick out the right
path even in the most pilless storm. If the
traveller will only trust TO the sagacitv Of an ex-
perenced leader. he NAV wrap himself up in his

BY strips Of copper. The runners are shod by

NEVER TRIFLE WITH AFFEcTiOS.-IOw often
in this lie are we inclined TO triAs with those
whose love IS the dearest object Of our existence.
How often does foolish pride or wicked desire
70 show our independence, tempt Us 10 scOrn
the kind Offices OF our best friends. How often
does the heart, turned against It's idol by some
real or faRcied grievance, repel all the advances
refuse TO accept the explanations or even the
humiliating scknOw wiedgment OF an error COM
mi,ted by that Idol, thinking perhaps that a.
it has humbled itself thus far, it nav be induced
TO creep in the dust before the virtuous ~ in
diguation of that seif-Wiiled, stony heart. And
how often does some little look or word OF re-
proof although We know well enough that il Is
intended only tor our good, cause a col mess 10
arse between Us and those who are everything to
u=,-hatting out the bright sunlight from our minds
leaving u= in darkness bordering on despair.
Oh Who cas live without love. Boast, if YOU
will, your independence; proud, naughty mortal (;
the time comes when you must see your folly /;
when you must acknowledge that help from
others i lot TO be disdained, for possibly you
