WHERE THE Sun DOES Nor SET.-Tbe
following graphic passage is from the
description OF scene witnessed by Mr.
Campbell and his party in the north of
Norway from cliff one thousand feet
above the sea: "The ocean stretched
away In silent vastness at our feet; the
sound OF waves scarcely reached our airy
lookout; away in the north the huge old
sun swung low along the horizon, like
the slow beat of the pendulum in the
tall clock of our grandfather's parlor
corner. We all stood silent, Iookieg at
our watches. When both hands came
together at twelve, midnight, the full
round orb hung triumphantly above the
wave, bridge of goldrunning due north
spanned the water between US and him,
There he shone in silent majesty, which
knew no setting, we involuntary took off
our hats; no word was said. Combine,
II you can, the most brilliant sunrise and
sunset you ever saw, the beauties will
pale before the gorgeous coloring which
now Lit up ocean, heaven, and mountain.
In haitian hour the sun had swung up
perceptibly on his beat, the colors
changed to those of morning, a fresh
breeze rippled over the food, one song
ster after another piped up ill the grove
behind ns-we had slid into another
day"

Curls of living gold close-clinging

Eyes as soft and dark and tender

When the fields are winter-bound
Do chill your dancing spirits
With my gaze so long and sad.

Half in joy and half III sorrow,
Will we leave our school tomorrow.
Till VACATIONS DER.
Many bitter tear drops starting,
Will, methinks, attend our parting
As in days of yore,
As we bid farewell TO places
We have loved, to well known faces
We shall meet no more.
Many happy smiles will greet US,
Many merry friends will meet US,
Bidding care depart.
Still. methinks, in hours of gladness,
Sometimes will a kind of sadness
Play around the heart,
AS the thought of bygOne hours, al.
Vanished then like withered flowers,
To our memories start.
While the half forgotten treasures,
Hidden mid our school day pleasures,
Once again appear.
Moments in our lives the brightest,
When our Youthful hearts were lightest,
When kind OF fear
Lest some strict and new formed measure
Should forbid the stolen pleasure,
Made it still more dear.
Now we leave these halls of learning,
Some, perchance, no more returning,
Bid a long farewell
To the joys that we have tasted.
To the moments we have wasted,
To that hidden well
Whose sweet waters ever flowing,
If once tasted, make one knowing,
So the legends tell.
Yet mid other scenes and places,
Viewing round us other faces,
These We'll not forget; M
But will cast, as time advances,
Backward still our loving chances,
With fond regret,
Through the dim years intervening,
To the time when we were cleaning
Stores which aid US yet. m ea. q
All these sad and happy hours,
All these schoold day thorns and flowers
Will return no more. m a as

Meier the happiness forgetting,

Which in memory shall linger. a

Round US eyermore. e
And when all our tolls are ended,
All our joys and sorrows blended, ana

In world of JOY and gladness,

To disturb our love,
But with God our Father dwelling,
Join the song of angels swelling
Christ's redeeming love.
