The mountain Laps of Norway
have learned to drink coffee and
wear stout Norwegian cloth, but
they set as much store by the REIN
deer as. ever. A poor family will
have fifty and upward in flock,
the middle classes 300 to 700, and
the richest 1000 or more. The rein
deer is as much beloved by the Lap
as his pig by the Irishman, and the
reindeer often sleep in his hut in
much the same fashion. The Lap
will whisper to his reindeer when
Harvesting him to his sleigh,
and will tell him where he is
to go, and declares he under
stands him. The reindeer is much
like stag, only smaller; all the peo-
pie, animals and trees in Lapland
are very diminutive, the men are
mostly nnder five feet high, and the
women under four feet nine inches,
so great are the rigors of the climate
in this as in all countries under the
Artic circle, and the COWS, sheep and
goats are small in proportion. In
summer the reindeer feeds upon the
grass and give excellent milk; in
the winter they feed upon moss,
which they scratch up under great
depths Of snow with marvellous
instinct. When winter draws near
great numbers are killed, and the
flesh is dried and smoked to pro-
vide food when the ground is cov-
cred with snow, and but few birds,
like ptarmigan, partridges and cap
ercailzie, are met with. The flesh
is very nutrious, and after a course
of grass feeding it is surprising how
soon the reindeer become fat and
plump. The skin makes their
dresses and boots, the sinews their
thread and fishing lines, and the
horns their spoons and domestic
utensils.

The English Royal Chair.

The chair in which in the English
soverigns for the past five hundred
years have sat to be crowned is a
rough wooden affair, with Gothic
back. 1t stands on the backs of four
wooden lions, and has underneath
the seat, the famous "Stone of
Scone," on which the Scottish
sovereigns, down to the time when
there was none, knelt to be crowned.
The stone is said to be the same
which Jacob used for a pillow when
he had his well-known ladder
dream, but this part of the story
need not necessarily be believed.
The throne in the House of Lords
is modelled after the famous old
chair, which latter is kept Just be-
hind the reredos in Westminster
Abbey.

Come, let us sit together for space,
In this still room remote from friendly
mirth,
Afar from light and music, face to face,
Each unto each the nearest thing on
earth.
Love, they have left us. our two bonny
brides,
Our tall grave girl, our winsome laugh
ing pet;
All me How wide the chasm that divides
Our life from theirs; how far their feet
are set
From the calm path they trod with us
so long
How we shall miss them, we who loved
them so,
On winter nights when winds are blow
ing strong,
On summer mornings when the roses
blow.
But-happy but--we still clasp hand in
hand,
Eye still meets eye, and true hearts un-
derstand.
Love, they have left us empty of the
mirth
That cheered our homestead while
they sojourned here;
Yea, they have left MS lonely on the earth;
Lone, but together, solitude most dear;
All, God go with them to the stranger
nests
That love has built for them and theirs
TO come.
God keep all warm and living in their
breasts
Loves holy flame, the altar-ire of
home.
Dear, they have leftus; we no longer hold
The first, best place, however leal each
heart;
Yet have we treasure left, refined gold,
Loves sterling ore, without its baser
part.
The wide old house has lost its nesting
birds,
But we are left. All, love, what need of
words!
All the Year Round.

Ny Love.

See the modest violets peeping
From the meadows emerald breast,
And the starry daisies sleeping
Where the sunbeams love to rest.
Fairer than the fairest flowers
Stands Il maiden dreaming there,
While the sunbeams glance in showers
From her sheen of golden hair.
Eyes as light as dewdrops beaming
On the queenly roses fair.
Brow as white as lilies cleaning
In the dewy twilight air.
Voice like echoes softly pealing
From chime of silvery bells,
Laugh like rippling streamlets stealing
Through the fragrant, fiowery dells.
See, her lips are softly smiling,
Der her cheeks the dimples play,
Sweetest thoughts, her mind beguiling,
Chase all grief and care away.
Tell the winds around thee signing
If you're dreaming now of me;
Let the shadows swiftly flying
Bring some word of love from thee.

An April Fool.
BY s. ANNIE FROST.

"IT is a silly custom that mod
ern sense ought to abolish!"
Very decided words, an air as if
that crushing sentence finished the
discussion, and Mr.. Alfred Sears
turned to resume the employment
of making entries in large ledger
open upon the desk before him.
But his companion would not admit
the argumentasc conclusive.
81 could fool you, ,"he said, laugh
ing.
"Pshawl'
II could. Let me see to-day is
the twenty-seventh day of March, so
the first of April is not far off. You
look out, now, for I'll play you a
trick, and take you in with all your
wisdom, and in spite of my warn
ing.
"Try it! Have you that letter
from Gay & Co. in your desk?"
"Yes. I'll get it," and then sue
ceeded scratching of pens, the
only break on the silence of Walker
& Smiths counting-room.
The two young men now work
ing busily at their employment of
clerks were the nephew of Mr.. Sim
on Walker and young man who
had been two years in his counting
room as a book-keeper, but ofwhom
he could have told you very little,
save in his business capacity. 1t
was certainly the attraction ofoppo-
sites that made Alfred Sears and
Edward Walker the best of friends
in business hours, and the leisure
time spent in the counting-ro ON.
Alfred was grave, reserved, and
rather melancholy, strictly temper
ate in his habits, and careful almost
to parsimony in his expenditures.
Edward was thoughtless and gay,
extravagant deeply in debt and fond
of good company and social enjoy
ment, by no means dissipated or
wicked, but rather too well initiated
into the pleasures of life to be attrac-
ted by its graver aspect. He both
liked and respected Alfred, and had
invited him frequently and cordial
ly to visit him, wondering somewhat
that his invitation was never accep-
ted nor returned.
"To be sure, Al is odd and reserv-
ed, and seems anxious to save mon
ey," he would say to himself, $50,
perhaps he lives in a poor way, and
is ashamed to let me see it"
The day was wearing to a close
on the twenty-seventh of March, as
Edward had dated it and the light
growing dim in the counting-house.
Now and then one or the other OF
the young clerks would glance at
the clock, and, as its hands pointed
to the hour of release, two heavy
ledgers closed with a simultaneous
bang, and the high stools were de,
serted for little lounge over the
fireplace previous to donning over
coats for the walk homeward.
"There was one thing l forgot tc
mention when we were talking o.
April FOOLS day this afternoon,
said Alfred, "it is my birthday"
at is?"
"Yes. l shall be twenty-five

A Picture or the Plains.

One of the most startling and
romantic features of border life oc-
CURED recently on the Wild Horse
Prairie, thirty miles north of Los
Angeles, when band of wild horses,
under the lead of a noble sorrel
stallion, came galloping over the
plains to reconnoitre a company of
surveyors engaged in making a sur
vey of the tract. The band dashed
toward Captain Keller and his party
of surveyors till within 500 feet,
when the leader halted in a grandly
proud and defiant manner, with
neck curved, nostrils distended, erect
and tail on dress parade, and all
the band ranged themselves on each
side of him like squad of cavalry
in battle charge. After surveying
the scene for Il few moments the
leader galloped away, followed by
the band in the most graceful and
dignifed manner. The scene was
most romantic, and the picture of
the lordly leader, with his most
obedient servants, in their feet and
graceful motions, was worthy of an
artists pencil. There was another
band of wild horses on the same
prairie, under the leadership of a
dark mahogany bay stallion, with
black name, tail and knees. In this
band there were two white horses,
and the rest were bay and sorrel
mainly.

The knowledge of courtesy and
good manners is a very necessary
study. 1t is, like grace and beauty,
that which begets liking and incli-

consequently, that which first opens
the door and introduces us to better
ourselves by the example of others,
