New Every Morning.

Every day is fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new,
You who are weary of sorrow and SHINING,
Here is beautiful hope for you.
A hope for me and a hope for you.
All the past things are past and over,
The tasks are done and the tears are shed,
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted and bled,
Are healed with the healing which night
has shed.
Yesterday now is part of forever;
Bound up in sheaf, which God holds tight,
With glad days and sad days, and bad days
which never
Shall visit us more with their bloom and
their blight,
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrowful
night.
Let them go, since we cannot re-live them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in His mercy receive and forgive them
Only the new days are our own.
To-day is ours and to-day alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly,
Here is the spent earth all reborn,
Here are the tired limbs springing lightly
To face the sun and to share with the morn,
In the chrism of dew and the cool of dawn.
Every day is a fresh beginning;
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain;
And spite of old sorrow and older SHINING,
And puzzles forecasted and possible pain,

IN A TUNNEL-SPOUT.
A REVENUE OFFICERS ADVENTURE.

Charles Corliss, when you ventured
here to ferret out the secrets of the
smugglers of Cape Zoar, you took your
life in your hands, and by reason
thereof it seems but just to deprive
you of thing held so lightly. But
my men, not /, shall decide what the
penalty shall be for your foolhardiness.
Boys, what say you? Shall life or
death be the portion of this revenue
spy?"
Death :" was the unanimous reply
from the grim-lipped. lowering-faced
men gathered about the young fellow,
who stood, with his arms bound be
hind him, calmy facing the smuggler
chief.
Yet all the ominous darkness of the
faces bent upon him could not form
an accent of fear into the calm tones
of the young revenue officers voice, as
he said:
"Well, Chief Coram, / should like to
know what you propose to do with me:
for it is quite natural that l should
wish to be prepared to receive the
grim stranger to whom you are about
to introduce me, in whatever guise he
may come"
"The villagers of Blakeville will
find you on the sands in the morning"
so you intend that the sea shall
throttle me?"
"Ayl"
so be it. / am in your power and
you are able to work your will as far
as am concerned. May you sleep as
soundly as tonight.
An involuntary exclamation broke
from one of the smugglers ex-
clamatio.. of admiration at beholding
one face death so courageously, but a
scowl from Chief Coram silenced him.
McOrnville, Hewett, Burchard, lead
this man out into the night" he said,
sternly; land see to it, my men, that
he does not bear you company when
you return"
Three men started to fulfill their
chiefs murderous behest. Two of them
took firm hold OF Corliss' arms and the
third lighted a dark lantern and led
the way.
Two minutes afterward the four
were out in the night, which had set
in very dark, with high wind and
threatened rain.

to gain the all-important clew to the
stronghold of Chief Coram. a smuggler,
whose repown extended along the
whole coast.
Cool of head, strong of nerve, with a
large frame and great strength, Chief

Mountaineering at Yosemite.

Going skyward from Shows there is
a steep trail leading on to Clouds Rest,
which is the highest point Immediately
overlooking the valley. Only true
mountaineers make this trip, and reach
he lofty, lung-testing ridge, where the
grand chain of snow peaks lie beneath
them, and the first and last rays of sun
light linger in golden and roseate glow
upon its slopes. Hallway to Clouds

dome, and of all the trips in the Yosem-
lite nothing approaches in danger and
daring the ascent of this smooth sloping
rounder hemisphere on end. The last
of the climb up polished granite wall,
sloping at an angle of thirty-eight de-
grees, is accomplished by means of
rope nine hundred feet long, fastened
to the rock at intervals by iron rivets,
and there is always q pleasant hair-lift-
ing possibility of some of the rivets rust
ing out, or of the rope breaking, while
the climber is pulling himself up hand
over hand. Anderson, the guide, who
put the rope up there, and who leads
the tourist to that grand falling-off and
jumping-off place of the universe, train
ed his nerves and sinews while Il sailor,
and leaps about on quarter-inch lodges,
hangs his heels and elbows over thOus-

unconcern that would shame chamois.

valley will coolly advise one to try it,
although no accident has yet occurred.
To the glory of our weaker sex let it be

The Uses Of the Summer Girl.

The summer girl is Il peculiarly Am
erican product. No other soil, so far
as known, has ever produced her. She
seems to have been discovered several
years ago by some college students, and
has since been cultivated to large ex-
tent all over the country. She is very
popular creature in certain quarters,
and possesses undoubted charms and
has her advantages. 1t might not be
amisS Just now to enumerate a few of
her uses. The summer girl is a great
convenience. She does not expect to be
fondled and fed on dainties during the
winter The young man who cultivates
her acquaintance knows just when and
where to find her. He is not expected
to become acquainted with her before
strawberry time. She does not display
her airy fairness, so to speak, until the
ice-cream season is thoroughly ripe.
The hammock in which she swings and
the perforated sleeves that's she wears, do
not appear before June. The summer
girl is sentimental. Having an active
existence only during the warm months,
it becomes necessary for her to lay in u
stock of sentiment during three months
that will last throughout the wear.
Therefore, she is very sweet, very tender.
very caressable. The young man who
claims her for his own from June to
September is believed to have very
soft time of it. He is supposed in
sentimental slang, to have all the hug
cling and kissing that he wants. The
summer girl always has a supply of
kisses on hand. 1t is true, some of the
kisses are rather stale, having been kept
all winter. but when they are warmed
up they pass very readily for fresh ones.
The young man who cultivates summer
girls is not very particular what kind of
kisses he gets SO long as they are the
clinging Kind. The summer Girl is
pretty. If she wasn't pretty she wouldn't
be summer girl. She wears a pretty
girls dress, has a pretty girls teeth, and
puts on pretty girl 5 smiles. She also
has dimple or two to add to the pic
ture. She is usually plump. but not
stout; we'll formed, but not rotund. The
young man who pays for her strawber-
ries and cream, and takes her to pic
mics, where they play copenhagen, is
always proud of her. The summer
girl never gets soiled or looks dirty.
She even manages to keep her back hair
in good shape after hugging match

A quaint, weird song of the long ago,
10 sleepy child on summers day
When the air was perfumed with new-mOwn

A time-wOrn face with snow white hair,
face griaf-!ined and furrOwed with care,
A form that is bent with the burden of years,
And eyes that are humid with unshed tears.
The voice that is singing is trembling and low,
And the words Of the song fall sadly and slow
From her shriyelcd lips, and her withered
hands
Have almost numbered the hour-glass sands.
She rocks tho cradle and sings the song
Till the twilight shadows are lengthening long,
And faraway look crcepS into her eyes
As the sunsets glory fades in the skies.
A woman stands by a mOSs-erOwn mound,
Where the myrtle and daisies have covered the
ground,
And thinks Of the days in the long ago
As she croOns a melody quaint and low.
Again the heat of a summers day.
Again the perfume of new-mOwn hay;
But low in the grave the grandame is sleeping,
And the woman that sings is sadly weeping.
