But the English bridge is only about hall

well for the young beginner if be practiced
ornamental drawing a little, as drawing
facilitates the manipulation Of the art Of
carving. The tools required by the wood
carver are numerous, but the amateur does
not require all Of them. He will commence
by procuring piece Of deal about #.
long by 10 in. wide, and 2 in. thick -Four
legs should be put into it, and it must be
made to stand firm Then be will provide
himself with a screw holdfast and a small
mailet, as the practice of striking the han
die Of the gouging implement with the palm
ofthe hand is attended with danger.
The tools absolutely necessary for the
beginner are fourteen in number-viz., one
one inch firmer, one three quarter corner
frmer, one quarter tirmer, one half-inch
fiat gouge, one small parting tool, two
quick gouges (large and smalD, one small
veining tool, two tiuting tools Qarge and
smalD, one bent parting tool, and four bent
tools Of different sizes also, soft Turkey
olstone for sharpening the outside edges OF
the tools, and few slips Of the same,
round on the edges, for sharpening the in
side edges. These tools may be procured
at the principal tool shops, such as Fem s.
Bucks, and others, and are inexpensive
costing from Sd. to Is. each, the handles

While giving particulars on the sharpen
ing of tools used in the art of wood carving
we shall offer some advice. Let it be vel
understood by the amateur that in thi'
branch Of the art be cannot be too particu-
lar. He should have the Turkey ston'
slips made to fit as near as possible to th'
inside edges of the tools, and the gougei
should be well rubbed from th inside anC

a piece Of buff strop, on which may be rub

called aOire edge, and by rubbing tie tool
on the strop it comes of.

And hithsr returning nevermore.
Just as the years OF my boy hood bright
Lit up my life with golden CLEAN,
Then fed away from my eagsr sight,
Their memory but vanished dream.
I stand again where my boyish feet
Hsamed in freedom, plOsg the shore,
The birds still sing their praises sweet,
The trees are green as IN days OF yore.
The river marmurs the same sweet song,
Bnt its tune is changed 10 q sadder tone,
AZ II washes the wreck, where Il glides along
BY the old canoe shat ! called my own.
l remember well the happiest time
| padded the oars Of the old canoe,
The bells were ringing their evening chime,
The smiling sky was tender blue,
The birds were chirpiug their last farewell,
The sun grew red in the crimson west,
holy light round my glad heart fell,
thought my life was forever blest.

With sky blue eyes, and golden hair,

As we foated gailV RdUwu the tide,

And dreaming dreams Of a future briGe,

The soft breeze Auttered her shining hair,
The wild-bird hushed its joyous song,
To gaze on her face so sweet and fair.
Years have fed since that summer day
Folded its wings in in the far of west;
| stand alone where its glory lay,
Sic is sleeping in perfect rest.
Dust is thick ON her golden hair,
Closed for aye are her eyes OF blue,
Gone from my gaze is the face so far,
Still is the heart that beat so true.
Lost is the life thought to cheer
And shield, with my love from the worlds

But she sweetly sleeps. and the birds sing near
And the summer breezey murmer past,
Yet seem TO see through mist of Of tears,

And backward roll the silent years,
