The furry in Canada over the condition
of the defences and the volunteer militia is
rather laughable than otherwise. In the
remote contingency of war the only way
in which the Canucks could very well keep
the Yankee invaders out would be TO have

continent, from the Gnlf of st. Lawrence
to Puget Sound, and filled to the brim with
dynamite all ready TO touch off, And even
then the Yankees might take their pesky

Somewhere the wind Is blowing.
thought as | tuled along
In the burning heat Of the noontide,
Aud the fancy made me strong
Yes somewhere the wind is blowing.
Though here where ! gasp aud sigh
Not breath Of air Is stirring,
Not a cloud in the burning sky.
Somewhere the thing we long for
Exists ON earth's wide bound
Somewhere the sun IL shining
When Winter nips the ground;
Somewhere the flowers are springing
Somewhere the corn is brown,
And ready unto the harvest
To feed the hungry town.
Somewhere the twilight gathers
And weary men lay by
The burden Of the daytime,
And wrapped In slumber lie;
Somewhere the day is breaking,
And gloom and darkness flee;
Though storms our bark are tossing.
There's somewhere a placid sea.
And thus, thought, 'tis always
In this mysterious life
There's always glHdness somewhere,
In spite Of its pain and strife;
And somewhere the sin aud sorrow
OF earth ART known no more,
SomeW here our weary spirits
Shall find peaceful shore.
so}mewheTe the things that try us
Shall all have passed away,
And doubt and fear no longer
Impede the perfect day.

Around thy soul b. cast

What 10 Read at Night.

1t is wise at night to read-but for few
minutes-some books which will compose
and soothe the mind which will bring us
face to face with the true facts of life,
death and eternity; which will make us
remember that man doth not live by bread
alone which will give us before we sleep
few thoughts worthy of Christian man
with an immortal soul in him. And, thank
God, no one need 90 far to find such books.
do not mean merely religious books, ex-
cellent as they are in these days l mean
any books which help to make us better
and wiser and soberer and more charitable
persons any books which will teach us to
despise what is vulgar and mean, foul and
cruel, and to love what is noble and high
minded, pure and just,-Cdnon Kingsley.
