THE OLD CANOE.

WHERE the rocks are gray and the shore is
w steep, -s--------- --r--------
Where the rugged pine. in it's lofty pride,
Leans gloomily over the murky tide;
Where the reeds and rnshes are long and rank,
And the weeds grow thick ON the winding bank !;
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day
through,
There lies at its moorings the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like sea-bird's wings that the storm has lop-
ped,
And crossed on the railing, one Ger one,
Like the folded bands when the work is done;
While buSily back and forth between
The spider stretches his silvery sheen,
And the solemn owl, with his dull stoo-h hoo,'
Settles down ON the side of the old canoe.
The stern half sunk in the slimv wave,
Rots slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss creepS DER its dull decay,
Hiding its moldering dust away,
Like the hand that plants O'er the tomb flower.
Or the ivy that mantles the falling tower;
While many blossom OF lovelieSt hue,
Springs up DER the stern OF the old canoe
The currentless waters are dead and still
But the light wind plays with the boat ut will,
And lazlly in and out again
IT noats the length of the rusty chain.
Like the weary march of the hands of time,
That meet and part at the noOntide chime;
And the shore is kissed at each turning anew,
By the dripping how ofthe old canoe.
Oh, many a time, with careless hand,
have pushed it away from the pebbly strand.
And padded it down where the stream run.
quick,
And the whirls are wild and the eddies thick,
And laughed as leaned DER the rocking side,
And looked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and boats were two,
That were Dlirrored back from the old canoe
But now, as Ilean DER the crumbling side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that see there is graver grown,
And the laugh that hear has a soberer tone,
And the hands that lent tn the light skin wing
Have grown familiar with sterner things,
love think lt hat
And rocked where the whirls their white sDra
shed,
Ere the blossom waved, or the green Sras
grew,
O'er the pioidering stern of the old canoe.

THE EUTURE OF JOURNALISM

Charles Francis Adams, in his fine
Grafton ut Harvard, affirmed that The
great need of the times is a system of
education which would fit young men
for the condHct of public affairs, not
simply in an official way, but in the way
of developing and controlling the public
mind.
He drew in very impressive manner
the distinction between official place
and public service. This last was what
the country demanded of its educated
men. They are bound by every consid-

come public benefactors in the way of

party leaders, but men OF independent
convictions, and genuine, fearless public

THE PROMISE.
Isaiah ill.,, Q, 10.


ETHHE voice of God spoke softly,
Back through the lapse OF time;
A silver thread Of whiteness,
In history ofcrime-
A ray of peace and comfort
In His lightning from above
In His prophecies ofyengeance
He pauses 10 whisper love.
"Woe, woe unto my nation.''
The Lord of Hosts doth say,
''Her stay of bread and water,
Shall be taken qnite away
Her counsellors and prophets,
With her mighty men OF war,
And her sins she hath committed,
Her notes of wailing are.
"Behold, the kingly sceptre
OF her days of lIOmp ami pride,
And the throne that stood beneath her,
In her beauty as q bride
Shall fall to little children,
With the glory of her name;
And the base that throng the nation,
Shall go trampling on her fame.
"But say We to the righteous,
The holy in His sight
The lillies in His garden,
Who have kept their garments white
Say ye unto the righteous,
Those spotless ones and true,
The God of Jacob liveth--
1t shall be well with you"
This whisper foateth downward,
Through the tumnlt and the dread:
Like smile of benediction,
Upon the infants head,
A promise of protection,
AnG,a surety of defence;
A shelter for His chosen,
Until He hears them hence.
Jerusalem is desolate,
And Judah is cast down;
Departed are her warriors;
And sullied is her crown;
But the righteous still may glory,
And go Shouting on their way;
The Lord of Hosts hath spoken,
And His promise stands for aye.
