A Narrow Escape.

How long ago exactly l cannot
tell-but enough for two little boys
to have grown into two great men
and you can judge how long that
must be as well as there lived in
a gentleman's family in England q
pretty housemaid and an honest
young coachman. And in course
of time-how much time or how
little l cannot say, for this is mat
ter in which it is not easy to judge
of time-the housemaid and the
coachman fell in love. 1t was q
very foolish thing to do, of course
but people do foolish things in this
world occasionally, even so foolish
as that, and / don't know any bet
ter than for wise people, like you
and me. to look on and say, 81 am
so glad that it was not / !" and then
walk oh.
The coachman's name, by the
way, was John, and the housemaid
they called Susan.
So one day, when Susan was stand
ing in the garden door with q clean
white apron on, and a cruel pink
ribbon in her hair, John came by
with the silver-handled whip in his
hand, which he was just going to
polish up. Said he, "Susan, l don't
like these goings on with the but
ler, and that's the truth"
Said Susan, just turning her head
so that the unkindest bow in that
merciless little pink ribbon shone
like star in her beautiful hair,
"And what if l do take a walk
with the butler o an evening when
l likei 1t amt any mans business,
John Jacobs J"
al don't know as it is" said John
reflectively it had never struck
him in that light before. He wish
ed it were his business with all his
heart but wouldn't say so; and Su-
san wished the same, you may be
sure, but she wouldn't say so; so
he went away to the great coach
house with his whip, and Susan
sat down on the steps with her
thoughts and so, pretty soon, when
the honest coachmsn came back,
the pretty housemaid was crying.
Said John, "Why, Susan y
Said Susan, "G-go awayr"
Said John, "You don't mean as

Said Susan, "Yes, ! will"

was proper; but | had to tell you
about John and Susan, because that

Illusion.


Under loud pillows the waters are rolling
Calmly and silently on to their end
While the deep roar OF the crest-wavos ia sound
ing,
Family the voices Of under-waves blend.
Racket and roar, and the foam OF their fury
These the elements wild bilows show;
Empty! so empty beneath lies the ocean,
The ocean, whose waters 80 silently flow;
Take the still waters where then arc the bilows !!
Take the mad pillows, yet ocean is there
Crest-waves are reckless and full of deception;
The ill they have wrought they may never repair,
Be not deceived when thou lookest at ocean;
BE not deceived when thou judgest mankind;
Though below noisy crost-waves at times may be
running
As steady sea us thou ever shalt find
Yet under the many thors's naught to discover
That showeth the flow Of the life that is best
And the false from the true may bo quickly distin-
guished,
If eyes that see clearly apply but this test.
