Where fails not hail, OF rain, or any snow,

-Morte d. Arthur.
We seek thas island OF the bless,
Where all things breathe OF perfect rest,
Pearl Il tho oceans uysterieS
Far. far from here. meath summer skiea
Amid uascunded seas It lies
Deep In the golden cleaning west
There never blast Of hunters horn
Along the shadowy gicns 10 borne;
There never ech0ing war-note swella
But lilies droop their shining bells
Ia silent fields and dewy dells,
Where slow streams uurmur night and morn.
There never care the slumberer frcts.
The scul its wcight OF WOO forgets;
Deep Is the couch tho MOSES spread
Fit fer weary monsrch's bed;
The pillow for King Arthur's head
Ia al Of clustered violets.
Low 10 the surf upon the shore,
Soft the cloud d-shadow's drifting o'er.
Here. storms across HES ocean blow
And btllows toss rs 70 and fro;
An. thither. thithcr let rs 60,
And ind repose forevermore
Where golden-hearted sunsets dream
On slumbrous pool and gliding stream:
Wnere grass Is lush ana winds are low,
And shadows flicker 70 and fro.
And all the cares ne used to know
Like youths forgotten fancies seem.
Nay, ssil you east or sail you west,
The Isle shall never greet your quest;
For only heroes, overwroughs
With mighty tolls are thither brought
And ind tho bonn Of rest unsought-
Coos last and greatest boon Of rest
A spell the fairy Isle doth bind,
That those who seek Il sail not 6nd.
Then spread the canvas to the breeze
And steer, forgcttisg dreams OF ease.
Right onward through the unknown seas;
0one day In pause OF wave and wind.
After long stress Of storm and gale.
By sunlight clear or moonlight pals.
At morn or eve. meath unknown Skies
We yet shall soe before our eyes
Tho islos enchanted shores arise
And drop the anchor. furl the sail

How Michigan Farmers Spoil
Their Watches.

A prosperous farmer recently enter
ed iewelry store in Bay City, Mich,
and asked if the repairs on his watch,
which he had left there a short time
before, were completed. The pro-
prietor said the watch was ready and
delivered it with the remark: "NeXt
time don't use quite so much kero-
sene." The anlooked surprised and
embarrassed, but managed to say:
81 guess l won't oil it any more at
all: 1t costs too much" He paid
his bill and departed. After he had
gone a reporter asked if the man had
actually put kerosine oil into his
watch.
Certainly he did," said the ieweler
"and he is not the only one who does
it. We have cases OF a similar kline
every few weeks; and people who, ont
would think, know better are generally
the ones who commit such folly. | sup
pose little kerosine would not do I
watch much harm, but when it is pour
ed in something happens, and we ar
called upon to remedy the difficulty

it is a good thing for us, but it

Gold and silver We'll.

There is wonderful we'll down in
Del Norte. 1t is an artesian well, with
an abundant flow OF pure water, sutfi-
cient to irrigate considerable body of
land. That would be enough for any
one but a San Luis man, but this is
mineral water. tits effervescent very
palatable and extremely healthful.
Nor is this all. The force Of the wa
ter brings up from the depths an occa-
sional lump OF native silver or a gold
nugget. The frugal farmer has placed
sack Of wire netting over the mouth
of the well to catch the metal and pre-
vent it from choking the COWS. Local
scientists claim that at great distance
down, and under an enormous press
ure, the water is washing away ledge
of rock, whose softer parts go into
solution and give the water its mineral
qualities, but whose gold and silver,
not being dissolved, are brought to the
surface in q metallic shape. Pixies

The first time he came here he forgot

And bird and bee are over the lea,
And the ships are out on the dancing sea.

The bells are ringing happy tune,
And the bridegroom waits for his bride

And homeward the weary world doth go,

Where the quiet dead in the churchyard

So time shall be till time be done,
And the clarion ringeth its bidding clear
