A Summer Idyl.

solitary sand-crab sided from his cave
His melancholy, dark and secret lodging
Scurried down the shingle to follow every wave
And then kept his feet dry by lodging.
His funny little eyes seemed popping from his head
And his legs seemed all in tangle,
And whenever you thought he was going straight
ahead
lie would shoot right off at angle.
Now wouldn't 1t be fun to know the funny little life
Which he lives in his sandy home; and maybe
To have an introduction to Is funny little wife
And see the little sand.crah baby?

A Blue-Ceat Boy.

| was standing at my sitting-room
window in Warwick looking out over
the Square of st. Nicholas. 1t was
Christmas-tide and cold, gray day.
Suddenly from the street leading over
the Avon boy shot up into the square.
He came after the fashion of boys-as
though he might have been projected
from catapult. Now small boy is
not creature of so rare appearance that
he is to be written about. Life would
hardly be worth living, in my opinion,
without him. But this was no common
boy, at least his costume was uncom-
mon or perhaps | had better say, I'M
familiar to my American eyes. He
wore long gown of dark blue cloth
belted low. AS he ran it swung open
and back, revealing pair of legs clad
in bright yellow stockings. He wore
low shoes and had white muslin bands
at his throat, which set off his ruddy,
happy face. His mop of light hair
the handsome young SaXon-was barred
to the inclemency of the winters day.
stared at him questioningly. Who
and what can he be in those lovely long
yellow stockings? For | am fond of
yellow, though it did use to be the color
of the robes of the French executioner
and that with which he daubed the
dwellings of the infamous. Suddenly
it flashed upon me who he was.
Idiot" l said, apostrophizing myself
aloud. It's Blue-coat boyl a Christ's
Hospitaller! don't you know? haven't
you read of 'em? Wern't Charles
Lamb and Coleridge and Thackeray
Blue-coat boys, and host more of the
illustrious whose names can not be re-
called at moments notice? Charles
Lamb, the little stammerer, the eX-
quiste essayist, the Incompatible
brother; Coleridge, with his glorious
eyes, an archangel, but little spoiled,
as Lamb called him; and Thackeray,
the prince of novelists-yes they were
Blue-coat boys, and wore the gown and
yellow stockings and went without
caps-splendid boys all three of them,
and l wish l could have seen them in
them" My Blue-coat boy disappeared
up the street leading to the East Gate,
his yellow legs flying like couple of
rapid drum-sticks. | unused a moment
upon the young founder of this school
Edward W., of whose dress this is a
copy, only the royal boy wore velvet
instead of cloth-and then / went back
to my table refreshed as from breeze
waited from the Detachable Mountains.
Blessings on the Blue-coat boys

"And There is No Health in U.s."

Lord, IL | climb to my desire
with all my strength of hope or prayer
To-day beholds me nothing higher
Then yesterday, and despair
Have not striven these three-score years
To change my nature? Have failed
Through nights of terror. days of tears,
To fight what foes my soul assailed?
Lo life hath left me wholly weak;
Ev'n the small heart always had
Deserts mine age, and when seek
Strength from the cross, 1t drives me mad
To feel that have no more claim
Than Cain for mercy o my God
Ev'n though plead in Jesus name,
why shouldst thou spare thy Christening rod?
Yet, strike no more, for am down,
Grant me but this, to pass and cease;
Give to thy saints their heavenly crown
Iask but nothingness, or peace
That peace which passeth, as men say,
The understanding of mankind;
IT'S hard to understand what way
of peace may be for men born blind.
