WHO CAN HE BE7


You may stake your last copper
A man who is proper
Would not tell a "whoppern
Or get in a fight;
And he isn't the fellow
To play himself yellow
On the violincello
Way into the night.
And he rests from his labors
Amid friends and neighbors,
And carries no sabres
Or pistols or knife.
He wants no blood diet,
He don't rave nor riot,
But stays at home quiet,
Alone with his wife.
He isn't a bragger,
He don't swell nor swagger
Nor carry a dagger
Concealed in his breast.
But he's valiant as Hector,
AS staid as a rector,
And wears a protector
Over his chest.
He don't bruise nor boot us
Nor, like Booth or Brutus,
Get angry and shoot us
And make no amends.
He don't eat late suppers,
Write verses like Tupper's,
Steal cash Of his papa's
Or prey on his friends.
He don't growl at his mutton
Nor rave when he's got on
But one single button
He thinks one will do.
In church he ne'er do es
Nor postures nor poses,
But meeker then Moses,
He sits in his pew.
He never drinks toddy
And never wears sboddy,
But loves everybody
Both ugly and sweet;
He's an honest believer,
He's no base deceiver,
And he keeps his best beaver
Untarnished and neat.
He's no politician,
He don't have a "mission,"
He wants no position
Nor hankerc for fame.
He don't blow or bluster
Nor swell out his duster
While he boasts of the lustre
OF his family name.
He's no sour croaker,
No cigarette smoker,
No tiresome joker
With jests that are tame.
He's man Of ability,
OF mental virility,
But in modest humility
Ican't tell his name.

Moved apart;

Bent her head in farewell courteous,

While cold hand gripped my heart-string,
Held them fast.
Still waited; still listened;
All my soul
Trembled in the eyes that watched her
As she stole
Up the stairs with measured footsteps,
But she turned
Where lamp in brazen bracket
Brightly burned,
Showed me all the glittering ripples
OF her hair,
Yelled her eyes in violet shadows
Glimmered where
Curved her mouth In soft compliance
As she bent

Where she lent

Slowly lifts the rose that nestles
Softly there,
Breathes she in its heart my answer

TRULY BRAVE.
Adventure of a Youth who Knew
when TO Risk HIS Life.


On board the ship Luminary we had
two boys, differing much from each 9th.
er in character. Walter Brewer, the
captain's son, was an active fellow, but
verv needless and rash. We used to
think that he must resemble that "little
Jack" of the ballad, who climbed to the
main truck of "Old lronsides." There
was nothing he loved better than to per-
form some dangerous and unnecessary
feat. On the other hand, Arthur Cliff
ford. son of good widow Clifford, in the
little seaport where the ship belonged,
although no less active than Walter, was
always careful of his own safety, and
took no risks where duty did not call
him. He would not pass from one mast
to another on o stay, as his companion
would sometimes do, but would take to
the shrouds in the regular manner.
Walter often challenged him to do
some perilous thing, and would thought.
lessly accuse him Of cowardice when he
refused, as he invariably did, where
there was no necessary end to be accom-.
plished by accepting the proposed risk.
Yet, whenever the widows son did q
piece of work, either on deck or aloft.
it was done thoroughly, which was more
than could be said Of Walters tasks.
Arthur did not like the imputation of
cowardice, but he told me one day that
he could not see the need of doing foolish
things just to show that he was brave.
l felt sure that he had more true courage
than his reckless young shipmate, yet l
little anticipated the surprising manner
in which the fact was to be demonstrated.
We were lying in one of the many
harbors on the west side of Vancouver s
Island, when the Captain allowed us an
all.day's run on shore. The coast is here
very mountainous, so that we found
rocks hundreds of feet high, with gorges
branching off in all directions. In some
places we climbed to such height, that,
although our ship was long distance off,
she had the appearance of being close
under our feet. Presently our attention
was attracted by the sight of two huge
gray eagles. that came wheeling about
us with majestic sweeps, uttering loud
cries, like those of the common fish.
hawk. Some one suggested that they
probably had nest close at hand, and
the boys were instantly inpsired with 0
great desire to find it. An eagles nesi
would certainly be curiosity whether
containing eggs or young.
"Oh, you woulnn't go up to It. Art
you wouldn't dare to!" said Walter

Loves silence.

Sweet, shall ask thee why thou art SO still,
Gazing afar into the deeps of space.
With shadows OF twilight on thy face
And eyes that quick with dewy moisture fill?
Why is thy daughters mellow, ripping rill
Silent and dumb? What chrism of perfect
grace
Shall fall upon thy lips and find place,
To bid their accents on the dusk to thri !?
Why art thou yoiceless, love? All, speak to
me
With speech that ever into music grows.
She turns her eyes, that hold me with
their thrall,
As dark and sweet as night upon the sea,
Saying, while one swift look upon me
glows
Love is unutterable and is ALL"
