Light DER the pillows our good boat bounds,
Who would remain ON the dreary shore?
Like the wild red deer from the eager hounds,
She springs at the steady dip of the oar.
On, dearer than gold is the cleaning white
foam,
il calls us, it beckons away from our home,
And we answer with hearts beating wildly and
free,
We're coming TO meet thee, we're coming to
greet thee,
Then give us thy welcome, while Queen of the
Sea!
To dash on the crest Of some mighty wave,
10 dip like gull from the CLASSY wall,
We fear not to rest in an ocean grave,
Death comes but once, and he comes to all.
And the cleaning white foam, with its mantle
outspread,
Would pillow us soft with its arms for our bed
so we answer with hearts beating wildly and
free.
We're coming TO meet thee we're coming to
greet thee,
We fly TO thy bosom, white Queen OF the Sea!
Glare Beatrice Coffey.

Burned the Kings Bond.

1t is related that one day George
Heriot had been sent for by the king,
whom he found seated in one of the
rooms at Hollywood, before fire COM
posed of cedar, or some other per-
tuned wood, which cast pleasant
fragrance around, and the king men,
toned incidcntly that it was quite as
costly as it was agreeable. 'If your
majesty will visit me at my booth in
Parliament close, quoth Heriot, Il
will show you fire more costly than
that Say you SOP" said the king,
"then | will. On doing so he was
surprised to find that Heriot had only
a coal fire of the usual kind. is this,
then, your costly fire?' asked the king.
wait your highness till | get my
fuel, replied Heriot, who from an old
cabinet took a bond for 1000 which
he had lent to James, and. laying it on
the fire, he asked laughingly. Now
whether is your majesty's fire in Holy
rood or mine the more costly?" Ger
tainly yours, Master Hcriotl' replied
the king Chester Chronicle.

IISk mo Candy.

1t would seem very strange, and per-
haps not very pleasant, to my young
readers to hear a tallow candle or the
shin-bone of reindeer called candy.
And yet these things may really be
considered rs Eskimo candy, because
they would delight the children of the
cold in precisely the way that box of
bon-bons would delight you.
There is a certain kind of waterfowl
in Arctic countries known as the dove
kie. 1t is about the size of duck, is
quite black. has prominent white
stripe on its wings, and its webbed feet
are of brilliant red. When sitting on
the edge of grcenish rock, these little
red feet are very conspicuous. Some
times, when the men have killed a
number of dovekies, the Eskimo cut
off the bright red feet, draw out the
bones, and, blowing into the skins, dis
tend them as much as possible so as to
form pouches. When these pouches
are thoroughly dried they are filled
with reindeer tallow, and the bright
red packages, which assure you look
much nicer than they taste, arc little
Boreas's candy. In very cold weather
the Eskimo children eat great quanti-
ties of fat and blubber; and this fatty
food, which seems to us SO uninvting,
helps to keep them warm and well.
The only other kind of candy that
the Eskimo children have, is the mar
row from the long leg or shin bone OF
the slaughtered reindeer. OF this, also,
they are very fond. Whenever a rein
deer is killed and the meat has been
stripped from the bones of the legs,
these bones are placed on the floor
of the i0l0o and cracked with a
Ratchet until the marrow is exposed.
The bones are then forced apart with
the hands, and the marrow is dug out
of the ends with long, sharp, and
narrow spoon made from 4 walrus' S
tusk. | have eaten the reindeer mar.
row frozen and cooked; and after one
becomes accustomed to eating Frozen
meat raw, it is really an acceptable It'd
bit; while cooked and nicely served, il
would be a delicacy anywhere. Lieut.

Two streamlets know, whose head-waters
clear
:. lntermingle their murmuring song;
But one seeks the north, and the other flows
south
BY roundabout course and long
And the streams which at first blended every
low strain
Flowing ever unto the deep sea,
Leave constantly wider the distance between
AS between you, love, and me.
Two hearts ! once knew, who dwelt side by
SIDE
And whose thoughts intertwined with each
other;
But differing aims lead by separate paths
And each finds their Joy in another.
And the two which at first close together were
bound
Drift apart on the worlds changing sea,
And the distance grows wider as years roll
by
As between you. love, and me.
