SHOOTING A DRUMMER.
BY DAVID HILL.

The drummer alluded to is not of
the common family of "agents' who
now infest the country, but is more
closely allied to that widely distrib-
uted family of OytyG Vi'yinidnus,
more generally known under the name
of partridge; let this be distinctly
understood at the commencement.
Shooting a partridge, especially a
drummer, not only requires a great
deal of perseverance, but also more
genuine ingenuity than the majority
of hunters possess at least, so l
have been told by those who make
partridge hunting a business.
If I have been rightly informed, a
partridge is several degrees above
being a natural born fool; and the
little experience | have had with them
confirms this assertion. Their eyes,
they tell me, are more penetrating than
any of Pinkerton's detectives; and
as for hearing, no fowl, unless it is
the wild goose, possesses better
acoustic propensities, than does this
same family of Ortyr Viryinianus, OF
common American partridge.
/ discovered a log in the woods a
few weeks since which / took to be

knew it by the indications, not by the
presence of the bird. The bird, some
how, placed so much confidence in
my integrity, that he gave me full
control of the situation every time /
approached at least. | never found
him in possession. The drummer,
you know, is the male partridge,
which, in order to drum, strikes its
wings together, or in some other way.
and makes sort of a pum-pum, pump
pump-pump- pumpering noise that
ends with a whir-r-r-r at the wind up
hence the term-drummer
Well, this drummer had won my

THE HEART OF THINGS.

All. III this life so full of carking care.
OF selfconceit, from which grim envy springs.
How rich comfort might we yet obtain,
If we could only see the heart of things.
We look with eyes made dull by worldly glare.
By tinsel glitter and by dust of years;
How can we tell the true from false. or know
Which is the best as each in trrn appears?
o Thou who art the Truth, above all truth,
To whom all lesser strength or knowledge clings
Bestow Thy power as we SO much desire
Teach US to and know the heart of thingsi
Life is not dress and gossip, dance and show.
ceaseless round of vain attempts at gee
Q. teach us, Thou, how earnest we must grow
If we would lift ourselves to heaven and Thee
The little children sitting at our feet
Should have the best OF wisdom's offerings;
For them and for the world what utter need
That we should know and grasp the heart of thing:
So much is true; and yet we frown and sneer
Because It's easier to sneer than praise.
o, give us strength to be our honest selves,
Though we should step aside from beaten ways;
Help us to judge Alright of worldly worth
Not by the glittering baubles that it brings,
But, through disguises all and false pretense
Help us to grasp and hold the heart of thngs
So. passing through the days, shall attain
Clear inward sight before it is too late
Pure mind true soul, our only chosen friends,
However these may be oppressed by fate.
And then, at last, we may be fit to join
The princely beggars and the crowned kings,
Who, claspiug happy hands. forever stand
Calm and secure within the heart of things

CHILDREN'S DAY.
BY N. L. s.

TLines written for Children's Day at the M
church, Barton Landing, and spoken by Miss Tw
,ly. June IL, 1921
'Tis Children's Day o let earth ring
With songs in youthful voice.
Let fields, and woods. their treasures bring,
And every child rejoice.
'Tis Children's Day. the gladest best
OF all the gladsome year;
Our pastor now will talk to us.
For us he'll bow in prayer.
For US, these beauteous flowers do bloom,
To us, these sweet birds sing.
All nature shall with us unite,
In praise TO Christ, our King.
We love the birds, we love the flowers;
We know God loves them. too;'
He gave the birds their plumage bright,
The flowers their wondrous hue.
But we love Jesus, best of all,
For us He came to earth,
Because himself little child
A child of Iowly birth.
We thank our pastor, VINO has done
So much to make us glad.
May joys of heaven and flowers of earth
Fill his heart, and crown his head;
Our superintendent, too, Wen thank;
Heavens blessings him attend;
For many years he's been to us
A true and generous friend.
We thank each one who gave flower,
And those who loaned the birds,
We thank each singer for his song,
Each speaker for his words
We thank each one who came to hear
Your presence cheers our way,
We open wide our doors to you
This blessed Children's Day.
But first and last we'll thank and praise
Our God who regns above,
But stoops to clasp each girl and boy
Within His arms of love.
Teach US, dear Jesus, how to love.
Teach us how to obey,
That we may sing redemption's song
In endless Children's Day.
