very large and fat, was riding on a pillion

surprise, she proved more than a match for
the excise officer

Fortunately for the contrabandist she had

OUR BOY.

They covered his bed with the damp, green sod,
Meath the deepening summer skies :
We had lain him down in his early bloom,
I1ife's hope in his dark-blue eyes
There his pale hands fold DER his bosom cold,
And his waxen eyelids close,
And ourvoices that tremble with tears cannot breal
The spell Of that long repose.
With the gold-brown tresses SO richly woven
From the blue-veined polished brow;
With the heavenly smile on his death sealed lips,
He comes to our memory now.
Oh! damp and cold is the daised mound
Der the pale, light form we love
But warm and bright is our darlings home
In his Fathers house above!

THE BATTLE FIELD.

~, not alone III the tented field
Are armies pitched and battles fought
The use of sword and well-worn shield
Is not TO every hero taught
In M of life are soldiers found;
In warfare deep, and no discharge,
The din of battle, pibroch's sound,
As leading on, they vigorous charge
The fight for daily bread may be
As noble in the sight of God
As anv march of victory
By Christian or by Pagan trod.
Noble or abject great or small,
Is not the one oerruling test:
The motive is the rue of all
Honor to God the grand behest.
Tie battlefield is everywhere,
The foes at all times in our way
Temptation, pleasure, want, or care
The conflict wage from day to day
And he who in the gallant fight
Maintains his purpose firm and strong,
Who keeps his armor pure and bright,
Shall win the laurel-wreath ere long.
courage, faint heart, whose narrow life
Fcttered and dwarfed by things of sense,
Whose soul would spurn the daily strife,
And pines for wings to bear it hence:
Full well l know thy weary way,
The earth-stained garments, spirit spent,
The piteous prayer that day by day
Goes mp to the Omnipotent.
too have suffered and have fought,
too have dregged the cup of life
hnow how dear the victory bought,
How fierce and deadly is the strife:
Y,: pray and trust His grace is nigh
And when this fevered life is past,

Each struggle that hath cost thee dear,
Though all unseen to mortal eye,
Each sacrifice that claimed tear

Then cheerful let us battle on,
Though storms shall rise and foes assail:
How sweet the rest, the V ctory won,
Wli.erings through heaven the great 'sAll hail

GolNG TO RAMoTH GILEAD-A sailor, who
had served the king SO long at sea that he
almost forgot the usagcs of civilized society
on shore, went one day into the church at
his native town at kirkaldy, IN Fife, where
it happened that the minister chose for his
text the well-known passage, "Who will 90
up with us to Ramoth Gilead ?" This en-
phatic appeal being read a second time and
In still more impressive tone~of voice, the
thoughtless tar crammed a quid of tobacco
into his cheek. rose up, put on his hat, then,
looking around him, and seeing nobody
moving, he exclaimed, You cowardlvlub-
bers Will none of you go with the old
gentleman Pll go for one" So out he
went, giving three cheers at the door, to
the amazement of all present.
A CELEBRATED pork contractor for the Fed
eral army presented himself short time
back at a scnlptor's ateler at Rome. and
stated his intention of sending durable
memcnto of himself to abtrn his native
place in America. With an amiable can
dor he explained to the artist that he had
begun life as poor boy selling matches,
and by lucky speculations had tanned his
present gigantic greatness. Now" he
continued, "Ive seen muniment in this
city as suits my views to a nicely. kind
of column with little fggers runnin' up ali
round it, and chap at the top" "Traian's
