She who sleeps upon my heart
Was the first to win it;
She who dreams upon my breast
Ever reigns within it;
She who kisses oft my lips
Wakes the warmest blessing;
She who rests within my arms
Feels their closest pressing.
Other days than these shall come,
Days that may be dreary;
Other hours shall greet us yet,
Hours that may be weary;
Still that heart shall be thy home,
Still that breast thy head shall pillow,
Still those lips meet thine. as oft
Billow meeteth billow.
Sleep, then, on my happy heart,
Since thy love hath won it;
Dream, then, on my loyal breast
None but thou hast done it,;
And when age our bloom shall change
With its wintry weather,
May we in the self-same grave
Sleep and dream together.

An Untimply Thought.

1.wonder what day of the week
wonder what month of the year
Will it be midnight or morning,
And who will bend over my bier.
What hideous fancy to come.
As l wait at the foot of the stair,
While Lillian gives the last touch
To her robe, or the rose in her hair.
Do like your new dress-pompadour?
And do like you? On my life
You are eighteen and not day more,
And have not been six years my wife.
Those two rosy boys in the crib
Upstairs, are not ours to be sure.
You are Just sweet bride in her bloom,
All sunshine, and snowy, and pure.
As the carriage rolls down the dark street,
The little wife laughs and makes cheer
Butt wonder what day of the week
wonder what month Of the year.

The hanging If the mistletoe is a
cause of much frolic and laughter in
the house. 1t is the rule that whoe yer
is passing under the mistletoe-b ough
must submit to being kissed then and
there by whatsoever chooses to take
that liberty. AS bough usually hangs
from the center of the ceiling, spread
ing over o large space, it follows that
there must be much lodging or much
kissing; l am inclined to think that
there are both.
The origin of this use of the mistle-
toe is not known; but we do know that
more than eighteen hundred years ago,
when the glad stars sang together over
the manger in Bethlehem, and wise
men brought gifts ofgold, frankincense
and myrrh to young Child in the
peasant mothers arms, England was
chill mist-covered island, inhabited on
ly by savages, who wore garments of
skins and lived in huts of mud and
stone. Among these savage Britons
there were pagan priests called Druids.
These priests were mysterious folk,
who lived in dense woods far away
from other men and who, in the gloomy
solitudes Of the forest performed strang
secret ceremonies. The sacred groves"
as they we're called, we're Of oak; for
the oak was divine tree, according to
the Druidical religion. Within these
sacred groves. the priests, it is record
ed in history, offered their sacrifices,
and in some manner. not now known,
they employed the mistletoe. But all
mistletoe was not sacred to the Druids.
They would have none but that which
chung t. the trunk and was nourished
by the sap of the divine oak. To the m,
the apple-tree mistletoe, which modern
England uses so freely IN her holiday
festivities, would be . worthless and
common thing.
When, in later centuries, Eng.
land was taught the Christian religion
by priests who went thither from
Rome, the people, though protesting .
belief in Christ, retain many Of their
heathen rites and customs changed
from their original meaning and pur-

A "MuchachO" OF the Mexican Camp

His name was Estaban Avilla, and he
was called, "for short" "Banito."
We became acquainted one afternoon
on the road to the Mexican camp. 1
had Just met Tommy Job Ia Cornish
lad who brought our milk in the morn
ing and our mail in the afternoon) and
taken from him two or three letters,
and was sitting on dusky rock by the
roadside reading them. A step paus-
ing beside me, and shadow falling
across my page, looked up and saw a
pair of black eyes looking down. Ban
ito did not want to read my letters, he
thought was drawing; and all the
miners children in both the Cornish
and Mexican camps felt at liberty to
look over my shoulder when l was
sketching. don't think 1 ever invited
them to do so. They did it quite nat
urally, regarding it, perhaps, as part of
that right to life, liberty. and the pur-
suit of happiness, to which most of
them were born. l folded my letter
up and looked at Banito, whereupon he
gave short laugh and darted off up
the hill. Just at the top, where the
road winds out of sight round a shout
der of the hill, with the shadow of a
liveo tree lying black across it, he
stopped and looked back, his little,
dark figure between the blue sky and
the reddish yellow road. Nothing else
to be seen except the live-oak tree with
its spot OF black shade.
1t took me some time to climb the
hill up which Banito had fed SO quick
ly, then | saw him curled up III the
limbs of the live-oak peering down at
me with a halfshy, half-sAucy smile.
Come down and let me draw pic
ture of you," said. The Mexican
children play with those of the Cornish
camp, and understand English quite
we'll. He laughed and turned his
head away sharply, but knew he
would come down.
Come where / can sit in the shade"
l said, land bring my stool"
/ left the little camp stool in the mid
die of the road and walked on slowly,
as if waiting for him.
There is big shade down there"
He pointed to the slope of the hill
where another live-oak leaned his dark,
twisted trunk away from the wind. All
the trees lean the same way, for the
same untiring steady wind blows for
months and months over these hills.
Their boughs are trimmed, on the
under side, as smoothly as the top of
hedge, as far as the hungry cattle can
reach. made myself comfortable in
the "big shade" and began sharpening
q pencil. Banito made himself COM
Portable in the sun, pulling at the dry
bushes of sage-grass, and looking at me
from the shadow of his hat-brim with
those queer, dubious glances.
If the camp-children had been robins
in spring, aud we the first ripe cherries.
they could not have fouEd Us more
quickly, or hocked more gayly and
noisely about us. There were muchs-
chos from the Mexican camp-every
shade of brown and yellow,-there
were rosy, saucy, irrepressible Cornish
youngsters. l tried TO keep them near
me, 90 my shy little model might be I'M
disturbed; but one ruddy- brown Mexi-
can boy-cheeks the color Of . russell
apple in October-stole behind him
and pricked him in the neck with
sheep-burr.
Catching my eye, he plunged hack
into the midst Of the group under the
tree.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1881-06-16

asked his name, and Banito said il
was his brother, Francisco, and that he
was Every bad; but he laughed
as he said it. Then 1 remem-
bered his face as one of a flock of six
that crowded round me one day when
sat making sketch under the shadow
of the high, bare porch of their "casa. Vi
The mother, leaning over the rail
ing, had told me all their names. She,
too, had said Francisco was very bad
("muey malo," she called it,, and she,
too, had laughed. 1 asked Francisco
where he kept all his badness, for l
could hot see any of it in his face. Bad
boys do not look as happy as Francisco
did, and he Struggled in among his
comrades as if he were sure of well
come. He looked merry, wild and
dirty. l dare say he tore his clothes,
and was sad trouble to his mother. A
little girl who logged my elbow and
was invited to move further off land
cordially assisted to do SO by all her
neighbors) had the bluest eyes that ever
shone under torn hat-brim.
"Was she not Cornish girl?" l
asked.
NO" she said; "I'm English"
"Were you not born at the mine ?
Perhaps you are an American"
mo, ma'am. 1 amt 'Merican. I
was born down to San Jose."
Another little girl coughed and look
ed as if she had been ill. She told me
they Twas allays sick back there" and
when tried to find out where "back
there" was, -where she had lived be-
fore coming to the mine, she only an
swered my repeated questions with !:
ooh, in kind O. brown house back
there"
Banito had been very still for some
time, and his face began to droop as if
he were tired; so 1 hurried with the
sketch. The children hearing the
heavy wheels of the stage rafting up
the last bill, scampered off to welcome
it on its arrival, in company with the
dogs and other noisy livestock of the
camp.
Banito looked wistfully after them,
but with the prospect of "two bits" re-
signed himself to five minutes longer.
1.-TWO bits" represents large share
of the joys of this world to an Alma
den boy. For two bits you can get OF
Costa - the vegetable mana ripe,
spicy musk-melon as big as your head
or watermelon twice as big, or hat
full of peaches, or double handful of
fresh figs, or two paper bags of stale
candy at the store. A Cornish lad
might put it in tin bank until Christ
mas and the new stock of toys arrived.
but Mexican never!
While l was making Banito's por-
trait, he held dark little object by a
string;-it was "horned toad" They
are strange little creatures so deli
cately made, yet so roughly carved and
fretted, so still, sometimes for long
minutes, that they might indeed be
carved stone or fretted bronze; then,
at sudden movement, they will slide
off as swift and silent as a shadow.
They are utterly deaf ,-even pistol
shot fred close to ones head would
not disturb his immovable stiffness
if he saw nothing to alarm.
They seem to have kind Of sensitive
ness under the roughe dark skin; light
tinger-touches on the head will soothe
them to sleep, and they are easily tanned
into dull. passive companionship.-

BADLY LIGHTED sTABLEs.-The horse,
although it looks straight forward much
more than most animals, yet does not
do SO nearly as much as man, and there
fore requires in its habitation an Or
rangement of light quite different from
that in its owners dwelling. Give the
horse the light from only one side. and
it will direct only one of its eyes to-
wards it, but the other side will be in
the shade this inequality weakens
both eyes. Put it in such position
that it looks into the dark, which is
certainly unnatural, and when taken
out of the stable the abrupt change
from darkness to light will harm it. To
place it straight against the light, gives
the latter binding effect which is also
injurious to the eyes. The horse-stable
should therefore always receive its light
from above, either through sky-lights
or through windows placed near the
ceiling in the wall to which the ami
mails head is turned vs. he stands in the
stall. Moreover, the stable should be
always bright, as bright indeed, a. day
light; for the horse is not night or
twilight animal. and is in no need OF

A statement made by one Of the Ohio
school superintendent ct . recent
meeting, is . very good illustration Of
the way in which the popular ideas in
regard to teachers work. 1T is q
patent fact, he said, THAT the profes.
sional teacher who dsvotes his time to
district school work must practice the
most rigid economy, and expend every
penny Of his paltry salary for bread,
meat and clothing. Yes, I may say, the
few teachers who rely upon the earn.
ings Of such schools are Absolutely poor.
The greater proportion Of them are
driven TO spend part Of their vacation
on the farm or in the workshop. 70 sup

how tie examiners and institute ques-
TONERS bsrats them for not remaining
