A SONG OF THE SEA.


Come out where the billows are cool and deep.
Where the waves never rest and the winds
never sleep,
Where plumed steeds course the oceans
breast,
Each Haunting pennant of foam at his crest;
Where the zephyrs are practiced to try their
wings,
And the sea NEW shrieks and tho mermaid
sings
When the moon is low, and, with shudder and
sigh,
The tides are turned meath her watchful eyei
Come down on the sands where the plaintive
snipe
Shrills mem'ry of Pan and his reedy pipe,
Where the ripples that lap on the shelving
beach
Seem to welcome continent to their reach;
Where the great brown rocks In their trailing
weeds
Seem doing penance for guilty deees
Centuries since, when the pirates sail
Drove a bark TO seek help In the teeth of O gale.
Leave sorrow behind when you'd frolic with
me,
For there's never grief that can sadden the
sea,
And never burden too heavy to throw
Away to be lost in the ebb and flow;
Come down to the marge of the seething earth
And bathe in the surges, where Love had birth,
Where the fountain of youth in crystal cave
Plays, hidden for aye. meath q laughing wave.

Her Bargain.

The following true story is told in the
"Journal Of Emily Shore:"
A little girl near us was one day play
ing before the house, when woman ap-
peared and begged few pence. She
had baby in her arms. And the child
was so delighted with the little thing
that she asked the woman if she would
sell it to her.
"What will you give for it, miss?" was
the counter question.
"Half a crown"
Every WELL" said the woman; "let's
see the money"
1t was produced, and the sale made.
The little girl took the baby, carried it
up stairs and laid it on her bed, and
after she had fondled it 'enough for
once" scampered down stairs, calling
to her mother.
Mamma, mamma! I've got live
doll! | always wanted one, and now
I've got it."
The baby was found, and the story
frankly told, but though the beggar
woman was sought all over the town,
no trace of her could be discovered.
Meanwhile the baby's little "owner"
begged so hard that it should be kept
that the parents yielded, and the living
doll became household blessing.

Advice to Young Authors.

Get originality into your work, my
friend. If your forte is writing articles
choose a new, bright, popular topic and
treat it freshly. Don't affect the dull
and stupid essay style. Use few words.
Make your sentences brief. Be crisp and
make your thoughts crackle. Tell the
public something it doesn't know and is
trying to find out. If you lean to fiction
tear away from old plots and take an in
cident that reader will recognize at
once as being fresh. Make your dialogue
natural and bright; let your characters
move around and have being. Stop
when your story is told; lively story of
1900 words. full Of life and snap, has in
it more prospects Of success than drawn
out tale of 5000 words. If you feel poe
try to be your forte appeal to the heart
rather than the mind. Don't fail at blank
verse when you can succeed at popular
poetry.-E. w. Box in Ladies' Home

Chinese Children.

The Chinese give their boy babies a
name in addition to their surnames,
and they must call themselves by these
names until they are twenty years old.
At that age the father gives his son a
new name.
The Chinese care so little for their girl
babies that they do not give them a
baby name, but just call them No. /,
No. 2, No. 3, according to their birth.
Boys are thought so much more of in
China than girls are, that if you ask 4
Chinese father who has both boy and
