Aswan once wished to give party and
everything was arranged for it; but his
servant, the frog, made mistake in the
invitations, and when the swan was
swimming about near the shore of the
prise there came the cuckoo, the swal-
low, the nightingale, the sparrow. and
the duck. He had expected the duck;
but what could he do with the other
guests, who we're not used to the water?
The duck waddled on, pumped into the
water and whispered to the swan: "What
kind of guests have you invited, god
father What can they do in the water?"
''That is just what I should like to
know" answered the swan. my ser.

trick. 1t cannot be helped now, so we
must be merry on the land. The gentle,
men and ladies would all we drowned
here"
So they both went ashore and babe the
guests Welcome, and the frog was imme-
diately sent of to find worms and beetles
so that the strange company might at
least have meat.
1t was very unpleasant for the swan
andduck and it was very warm, so they
went to cool place. At first the other
guests, the cuckoo, the swallow, the
nightingale, the robin and the sparrow
walked quietly with them, but they soon
fell into their accustomed ways; they
hoped and futtered first, then flew in
all directions.
'"Where are they all, cuckoo, sparrow,
nightingale and swallow" said the swan,
impatiently.
The cuckoo, who heard his name
called, few down. and said, proudly:
Here 1 am, what do you want?"
"Ohw answered the swan, 81 only
wanted to know what had become of my
dear guests"
'That 1 can have the honor of telling
you," said the cuckoo. Il have seen
them all Mr.. Sparrow is sitting on q
bough yonder with his bill wide open,
while Miss Nightingale sings beautifully
on the birch tree. Mrs. Swallow is
flying over the brook and playing with
the little flies, one of which she swallows
now and then by mistake. Madam Robin
is hopping about under all the bushes,
so do not know where she is Just non;
but will soon see."
Thereupon the cuckoo few away, and
the swan and duck looked at each other
sorrowfully.
"What will come Of this9" asked the
duck.
81 will tell you,' said the swan, and
jumped into the water. "Our company
has left us in the lurch; now we will do
the same by them.
And then he raised his slender neck in
the air and swan proudly around in the
water. The good duck followed his
friend, who led the way into mass of
rushes where they ate their supper very

OUR GOLD STRING.
JANE W. BRuNER.

Our minstrel's harp was daintily strung
Empearled like shell of the sea-
Sweet the cords we swept as we sung
In pride ofour minstrelsy.
And mid the strings of our harp somewhere
But that where could notwell be told
For all were gilded there and fair,
There nestled one string of gold.
And whatever tones our Ministries brought
From the cords they walked from sleeping
Into the music all unsought
A thrilling sound came creeping.
For softly above the pulsing beat,
The surge of the song and shiver,
With clearer sound and note more sweet
The golden string would culver.
And heavy hearts, oppressed with grief, broke
At the harp-throbs into sobbing;
in every heart an echo awoke
From the golden strings wild throbbing.
And mortals thought that one soft note
Had slipped from the great pearl portal,
Down the dim depths of space afoat,
From the sweet choir immortal
The fountain drops with liquid chime
On the brook that flows to the sea.
We are drops in the stream Of time,
Sweeping to eternity.
There came dawn in the early spring,
When meyer song remains unsung,
When birds were lightes. on the wing,
And the world again feels young.
The meadows sparkled with morning dew,
Birds sang in their wildwood bowers,
Flu'tered their little wings, and grew
Mad with joy, in sunny showers.
The nightingale piped his sweetest lay
Springs the time for song or never
The sweet time came and died away,
The harp was stilled forever.
The wonted breezes touched the strings,
But they echoed back no token,
Mourners sobbed as the sun went down,
Our golden string lay broken.
