POETRY.
A Wild Rose.



lhis Wild rose, plucked by Ayon's side,
Is mol a whit more sweet or fair
Than those which brighten summcrtide
Ia dear New Englands air.
But this is Of royal line,
Which held, in yonder century,
privilege by right divine,
That now no gold could buy.
Ennohled not by wealth wars
Is this poor rose bat it may trace
Its lineage back to ancestors
Which locked on Shakespeares iacc.
tor often by that pleasant stream
In youths unspoiled ightheartedncss,
Did he, the marvellous, rove and dream,
And pluck rose like this.
They saw--those eyes which never missed,
The smallest flower, the huinbest leaf.
These golden anthcrs, dcwdrop-ki,sed,
Or robbed by winged thief.
Such thorns his fingers dared To sting,
Such leaves within his warm hand curled,
Nor recognized the uncrowned king
Whose realm was all the world.
Such petals fell upon his feet,
And chung upon them, wet with dew;
They breathed the sclf.same airy sweet,
And wore the selfsamc hue.
Wild roses grow by Ayon's side
To-day, as then they used to grow,
When Shakespeare watched it ripping tide
Three hundred years ago.
And softly still that hallowed stream
Whose murmur, as he rovcd along,
Commingled with his boyish dream,
Repeats the self same song
While he, whose praise the ages sound,
Who gave its wave deathless name,
And made his birthplace sacred ground,
Is only dust-2nd fame.
Thus do earth's mightiest fade and CEASE
Even the poor dust within their tomb
Is lost, As centuries increase
But still the wild rose blooms

Johnny's Mathematic.l calculations

johnny was poring over his mental
arithmetic. 1t WAS new study to him,
and he found it Interesting. When John
ny undertook anything, he went about it
with his head, heart, and hand.
He sat on high stool at the table, while
his father and mother sat Just opposite.
He was snch tiny fellow, scarcely
large enough to hold tile book, You would
think, much less to study and calculate.
Blu, he could do both. as you shall see.
Johnny's father had been speaking TO
his mother. and Johnny had been 80 in
tent on his book, that he had not heard
word but as he leaned back on his high
chair TO rest moment, lie heard hiA
iather say: Dean got beaslly drunk at
the club, last night; drank ten glasses OF
wine. was disguised viii, the fellow"
Johnny looked mp with bright eyes
"llow many did you drink, father"
u drank but one, my son." said the
father, smiling down upon his lille boy
"Ilen you were only one. tenth drunk, !"
said johnny, rrileciingly.
"Jol'n!' ciied his parent, siernly, in u
breath but johnny continued, in siudi
ous air
"Why, yes; II ten glasses OF wine make
n man beastiy drunk, one glass will make
him one tenth part drunk and"
There, !l,ere!' interrupted the father,
biting his lipto hide the smile ll,nt would
come; IL gness it is bed time for you
We Will have no more ariilimsiic Ia. night"
So Jonny was tucked away In bed. and
went sound asleep. inrning the problem
over and over 10 see il he was wrong.
And just l'efore he had lost himse IL
slnmher he hnl thought, "One Thing l..

father had tnken nire more he would

And the next thing he WAS snoring
while Johnny's father was thinking
"There is something in Johnny's cnlcuia-
llon, after all. II. IL not safe TO take one
glass, aud l will ask Dean la sign total
abstinence pledge with me tomorrow. !"
Aud lie did M, and they both kept II.
