He stopped there for a long, long

over his embarrassment. By and by
she said:

That log suddenly contracted again

Jim's arm stole around Linda's

"And we's gwine to be jined in the

LIGHT AFTER DARKNESS.
Into the darkness comes the day,
But not with a sudden burst of splendor;
The shadows are slowly driven away
BY touches Of light that are faint and tender.
At first just flash on the Eastern sky;
The perfect day cometh by and by.
So to soul-darkness comes the day,
The shadows of doubt and uncertainty lingcr,
But slowly, surely they pass away
Under the touch of Faiths gentle finger.
Walk in the little light thou hast,
To the perfect day thou shalt come at last.
I'~ariran Messenger.

THE OLD CANOE.


Where the rocks are gray and the shore is
steep,
And the waters below look dark and deep;
Where the rugged pine, in its lonely pride,
Leans gloomily over the murky tide;
Where the reeds and rushes are long and
lank,
And the weeds grow thick on the winding
bank;
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day
through,
There lies at its mooring the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like sea.bird's Wings that the storm has
Topped.
And crossed on the railing, one Ger one,
Like the folded hands when the work is
done,
While busily back and forth between
The spider stretches his silvery screen,
And the solemn owl, with the dull "too-
whoo,"
Settles down on the side of the old canoe.
The stern half sunk in the Shiny wave,
Rots slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss creeps DER its dull
decay,
Hiding its moldering dust away,
Like the hand that plants DER the tomb a
flower.
Or the ivy that nantes the falling tower.
While many oblssoln of loveliest hue
Springs up Ger the stern of the old canoe.
The currentless waters are dead and still,
But the twilight wind plays with the boat at
will,
And lazily in and out,agan
1t floats the length of the rusty chain,
Like the weary march of the hands of time
That meet and part at the noontide chime,
And the shore is kissed at each turning
anew
By the dripping bough of the old canoe.
OH many time with careless baud
| have pushed it away from the pebbly
strand
And padded it down where the stream runs
quick,
Where the whirs are wild and the eddies
are thick,
And laughed as leaned Ger rocking side,
And looked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and boats were two
That were mirrored back from the old
canoe.
But now, as lean DER the crumbling side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that see there is graver grown,
And the laugh that hear is a sober tone,
And the hands that lent to the light skif
wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things;
But love to think of the hours that sped
AS l rocked where the whirls their white
spray shed
Ere the blossom waved or the green grass
grew
DER the moldering stern of the old canoe.
