THE SONG OF THE SAW.
BY ALERT y. PAYNE

An imitation OF Hoods Song of the shirt
With eare-Norn faee and a ragged coat.
That Tapped in the wintrv blast,
An old man stood by a log of wood.
And his saw was flying fast.
His saw flying fast,
And the air with its music rang,
And turning his throat To the dIsSOnant note,
This mourntul song he sang
'.Saw saw. saw!
In cold, in heat, and IN RAIN,
TIL every stroke in the seasoned oak
Seems tearing into my brain.
The coat on nv back Is old,
Nv home Is a hovel poor,
And my saw run from sun till sun,
To keep the wolffrom the door
"Saw! saw saw!
Through knots and gnarls | go,
Aud my breath comes quick as the log grows
thick,
And the saw runs heavy and slow.
Oh, Won IN your coy rooms,
With al that your hearts desire,
'Tis not the wood, but human blood,
You're burning upon the Ere.
''Saw saw saw!
Forever the whole day long,
And at night it seens that my torturlng
dreams
Are nllCU Will tue grating SOISs
The log is q human life,
My saw is the course of time,
And every stroke in the seasoned oak
l. year from wasting prime;
And as ! near the bark,
More swiftly does my saw run,
Till the billet drops, and then it stops
Like time when life is done.
'.Saw saw saw.
How long is the weary day
Till the sun has set, and l sadly get
At night my paltry pay.
'Tis, oh, 10 be a horse
In my rich employers stall,
If must toll, and sweat, and mol,
To earn a cup of gall
For he at least has 4 care,
And the best OF food has he.
While scant is my share of the hardest fare,
And nobody cares for me-
Saw saw saw!
And shrinking before the blast,
An old man stood by pile of wood,
And his saw was flying fast,
His saw was flying fast,
And the wind was biting and raw,
And still be severed the logs III two,
oh, would that the world his misery knew,

Stepping in Fathers Footsteps.

One bright winters morning after a
snow storm. a father took his hat for a
walk to attend to some farm affairs re-
quiring his attention. As he started, his
little boy of five summers also snatched
his hat, and followed his father with
mock dignity and an assumed business
like air. When they reached the door,
the gentleman noticed that no track or
pathway had been made IN the snow and
he hesitated about letting his boy follow
him. But the soft, heecy snow looked
so tempting, so pearly white, that he con-
cluded to allow the child to walk after
him. He took long and rapid strides
through the untrodden snow, when sud
denly remembering his little boy, he
paused, looked back for him, and ex-
claimed
''Well, my son, don't you find it hard
work to walk in this deep snow?"
"Oh no, said the boy. "Pm COM
ing for, father, 1 step in all your tracks. s.
True enough the dear child was plant
ing his tiny feet just where his parents
had trodden. The child's reply startled
the father, as he reflected that thus would
his child keep pace with him, and follow
in his tracks through life. He was not
man OF prayer. and not a Christian
and well might he pause and tremble as
he thought of his child, ever striving ''to
step in all of his tracks," onward, on
ward through life's mysterious mazes and
myths toward eternity The little boys
reply brought that strong, stubborn
hearted man to think. Finally he re-
pented, and sought and found peace.
We believe now he is making such tracks
through life that some day that son may
be glad to say: Father, step in all of
your tracks. - British Workman.
