Days without Night.

DIR. Baird. in his lecture at the con-
ference room, gave some interesting
facts. There il nothing that strikes Il
stranger more torcihly, if he visits
Sweden. at theseason Of the year when
the DAYS are longest. than the absence
of.night. DIR. Baird had no conception
of 1t before his arrival. He arrived at
Stockholm, from Gnttenburg, 400 miles
distant. in the morning, and III the
afternoon went to see some friends

turned about midnight !; it was as light

But all was quiet In the streets; it
seemed as If the inhabitants We're gone
away, or were dead. No signs OF life

The sun in June goes downat Stock
holm little before ten o'clock. There
is a great Illumination allnight, as the
sun passes round the earth toward the

changes in these high ATTITUDES, from

we can have 10 conception of them at

they managed in regard 10 hired per-
sons, and what they consider Il day.
He could not say. but supposed they
worked by the hour. and twelve hours
would be considered "A days work.

WOULD NOT TELL. A LIE.-Two
boys We're in a school-room together
when some fireworks, contrary to the
masters prohibition, n,eXploded. The one
boy denied it; the other, bonnie Chris
tie. would neither admit or deny it,
and was severely tlogged for his obsti-
macy, When the boys rot alone again !:
why didn't you deny it," asked
the real delinquent.
"Becluse there were only we two,
and one of us must have lied, " said
Bonnie.
'.i'hcn why not say that did it,"
because you said you didn't, and |
would share the lie"
The boys heart melted; Bonnie'S
moral gallantry >ubdued him.
When school resumed, the young
rogue marched up to the masters desk
and said:
please, sir, | can't bear to be liar
i let of the squib>, and burst into
tears.
The masters eye glistened on the
Selt-accuser, aud the unmeritcd pun
i>hment he had inflicted on his school
mate smote his conscience. Before
the whole school, hand in hand with
the tulprit, as If they two We're paired
into the confession, the master walked
down to where young Christie SAT, and
said aloud, with some emotion:
bonnie, Bonnie. lad. he and | beg
your parlon-we are both to blame !"
The school was lushcd and still, as
older schools arc apt to be when some
thing true and noble is being tlone-So
still they might have heard Bonnie's
big-boy tears drop proudly on his
book. as he sat enjoying the moral tri-
umph which snbdurd himself rs well
us all the rest, and then for want of
something else to say. he gently cried,
Master forever"
The glorious shout Of the scholars
filled the old mans eyes with some
thing behind his spectacles. which
made him wipe them before he reslnn-
ed the chair.
