WHERE WE WERE BORN

You'd know the place where we were born
Not by the old well standing by,
Nor vet 10y fields OF waving corn
=. Mhlch you might see I'm passing by,
Yet You would guess IL. night or morn
The dear old place where we were bornl
You'd know II, for I'm all your ways,
ON country road or village street,
through lengths and lengths of Summer day
You never saw place 50 sweet
~ ours IN May dews, morn or night,
When apple trees are blossomed white.
For round and round on every side
:. These trees in friendly group ng grow,
You could not find, or far or wide,
place so circled round, know;
toward rising sun and closing day
Ihey stand In watchmRn-like array.
The ancient orchard on the slope
u hrst TO catch the wiiTm Spring sun;
It's trees are aged beyond hope
AMI yet they blossom every one:
And such odd apples ne or were seen
As fall upon its shady green.
And all along the dear old lane
Iney arch their branches overhead,
And in breeze or shower of rain
Ihey scatter petals white and red.
We held our little aprons high
To catch the sweetness fiuttering by.
And when the Autumn tints were CAV
Upon the landscape everywhere,
In reckless heaps the apples lay;
We heard them dropping here and there,
Auu lauRueu anu ghily tossed them high
beneath the blue, benignant sky.
And when we'd grown beyond the child,
inc aspirations that we knew,
our vivid fances running wild
. our learning of the fal 80 and true
seemed. somehow, i'm the light and gloom,
To Hold breath Of apple bloom.
And now, when May comes yearly round,
And decks the apple trees again
win blossoms sweetest To be found,
SOmetimos my tears drop down like rain,
30 wildly docs memory tell
About the home love so well

"A letter to the Boston Herald de-
scribes the female students at Cornell
as strong in health and quick and ac-
curate in study. The writer declares
that between the young men and maidens
in the college there are few friendships
formed which result in marriage; and
adds: 1t is said that the young men
find the ladies of the town more inter-
esting than the quiet, studious college
girls. The daily intercourse between
the men and women students is so COM
monplace. the occupations that call
them together are SO high and so en-
crossing, that no time nor inclination
seems left for sentimental dawdling."

EDITH BAXTER.

The story Of how Miss Edith Baxter, age
twelve years, rescued a little boy from drown
ing. ar Bath, l.. J., is thus told in rhyme. b.
MIS- N Is. Sangster, in Hdrper's Young People
A beautiful day in summer,
At Bath, beside the sea,
Where bevy of careless children
were as gay as gay could be.
Some with their spades so tiny
Were turning over the sand,
Some were merrily racing
With the surf that dashed on the strand.
And Others, bold and daring,
PLUNGED into the deep green wave,
AT the touch of the grim old ocean
They felt SO blithe and brave.
Laughing, leaping and diving,
The sturdy. frolicSome crew
Had never thought of danger
Under the sky's soft blue.
And nobody noticed Harry,
A dear little five-year-old.
With just glimmer of sunshine
Uniting his curls of gold,
Till, after the rest, rs swiftly
AS flash the darling went:
And a cry of sudden terror
The giddy gladness rent.
The pillows have caught the baby.
They are bearing him far away;
Alas for Harry's mother
And her empty arms this day!
Some one has darted to save him.
Forth from an awe-struck throng,
fearless heart to the rescue,
Steady and true and strong.
Bufeting surge and breaker,
Straight through the curdling foam,
On through the angry waters,
She is toiling to bring him home.
Only child, with girlhood's
Clear light in her candid eyes;
Only girl, but a woman
In her glory of sacrifice.
On the shore they watch and listen,
Spell-bOund in a dumb despair,
ALL bark to the shout of triumph
That ends in a thankful prayer.
Edith has saved wee Harry.
Twas noble deed was done,
AT Bath, that day, by the ocean,
In the light OF the summer sun.
