The Three Boys.

In by-gone days, when st. Adams Bay was
a tiourishing locality and had good school,
three young men from neighboring towns
We're there as students. They boarded at
the same house together, under the roof-tree
OF prosperous farmer, whose cellar
abounded in palatable fruits of the farm
including quantity of choice apples. In
the course of time, however, the supply be-
gan to dimnish-at least as far as two of the
boys were concerned, though the third
(whom we will call TOM always seemed to
have enough, and would come into the room
frequently with pockets well laden. The
farmer with whom they boarded began
about this time to complain of rats in his
apples; he knew the mischief was done by
rats, because of the marks they left on the
fruit. AT last Toms companions grew sus-
picious of him and determined to find out
where he got all his apples, while they We're
so short. They followed him one night and
discovered him at the farmers cellar win
dow, with long, sharp pointed stick, with
which he " harpooned the apples and
brought them from the cellars depths. This
explained how he came by SO many apples,
and it also threw light on the " rat-bites +"
of which the farmer complained. The boys
kept a" mum and bded their time
Shortly after this Tom was brought under
religious influences and converted. He sub
sequently decided TO leave the bay and be-
gin the study of theology with a relative,
who was a minister. just before he left, his
two companions said to him: Now, Tom,
as you are going away to study for the minis
try, you won't need that harpoon of yours
any longer, so you can leave IL for us'
This was the first intimation that Tom had
that the boys knew how he kept himself
supplied with good apples. He bequeathed
the harpoon to them, of course. He couldn't
! help himself.--St. Adams Messenger.

HIGH ART.
fOriginsl.l


They sat within little alcove, where
Some thoughtful hand had placed, osten-
silly
To catch the eye of some art devotee,
A large portfolio of engravings rare.
Around them music throbbed and beauty
smiled;
But still with wise and critical intent
Above this treasure-trove they gravely
bent,
BY every lesser treasure unbeguiled.
No doubt the pictures were beyond compare,
But once between the portiere's kindly fold
Velvet, dull red, with arabesques of gold
I caught gracious glimpse of one more fair.
Isaw swift, happy hands moment meet,
Loves tender questions shining in his eyes,
And In her own saw Loves glad replies
It was the world old story ever sweet.
Isay, and never mortal can dissuade
Me- from so thinking, that they did not see,
From lid to lid, though seeing critically,
30 fair picture as the one they made.
OF thoughtful matron, when you placed that
book,
With all its riches of engraven page
Cherub, madonna, sinner, saint and sage
Within that very cosy curtained nook,
Tell me, pray, was it discreetly planned
Was it keen policy or pure sentiment,
Or was it only happy accident,
That made you play so into Cupid's handl
