How TT FEELS no FREEZE. One
who knows tells how pleasant it is to freeze
to death in Minnesota. He says the bitter
cold does not chill and shake a person as in
dampcr climates. 1t stealthily creeps
within all deiences, and nips at the bone
without warning. Riding along with busy
thoughts, quiet, pleasurable drowsiness
takes possession Of the body, and, in mind.
the fences grow ndistinct, the thoughts
wander, weird fancies come trooping about
with fantastic forms, the memory fails,
and, in confuse dream of wife and home,
the soul steps out into oblivion without
pang of regret

WHITsUNTIDE.
BY JOHN w. CHADWICK.

Out from the citys flaming heart
Mules but dozen away,
/ know OF mountains secret shrine,
Where lately went to pray.
But my prayer was not for The smallest booa;
1t was nothing but thanks and joy,
As roamed through the scented woodland paths
With the he art OF happy boy
As touched the tips of the maple-boughs.
shaded with soitest brown
As the thistle showed me her armatnre,
Frosted with silvery uown
And, oh the CLEAN of The birehes' Stems,
Aud the new green of the pines,
And the hemlock-ftinges sweeping low,
TIN they touched the creeping vines
And every bank was studded thick
with wild -fiowers sweet and rare,
While the ferns seemed made of sprit-stuff,
They so slight and fair
And the city was cleaning far away
Through veil of thin white mist 3
And pillows of green rolled in between,
Till the land and the water kissed.
1t was only dozen miles away,
AS flies the laden bee,
But to my free Thought twas hundred leagues
And more, to the shining sea.
Could it be, 1 thought. in the world with this
There was dust, and heat, and glare2
Could IL be there was sorrow, and hate, andsin,
And terror, and wild despair
Alas il could but for this one day
would live as If il could not
/ would dream that the world, from end TO end,
Was only This one dear spot.
All should be sweet, and cool, and pure;
All should be gay and free;
All men be rs gentle, all women as true,
As the man and the woman with me.
They had lived with the birds and the flowers ST
long,
They seemed to have learned their speech;
Softer it fell on my drowsy sense
Than the rain ON Il sandy beach.
They could call the trees and the flowers by name
They could tell me of all their times
And their talk was form that needed not
The help of poets rhymes.
Where was the service that day, think you
Down in the valley below,
Where the sadfaced people fioeked to church
To list to tale of woe
Or was it there, on The mountain-side,
Where the Spirit, with two OF three,
Was saying softly, various speech.
I4et the little ones come unto me?"
