To be lost in an unknown country

Gus misfortune. A hunter who had
lived for many years among the Indians
went out on a beaver hunt and got sep
arated from his companions. The snow
fell thick and the wind blew violently
when he tried to find his way back to
camp, and he was soon compelled to
admit to himself that return was inn
possible.

tomahawk with me, and no way to

and as the air was dark with snow
had little more prospect of steering
my course than should have had in the
night.
At length came to hollow tree, with
hole at one side that could get into.
l went in, and found the place not only
dry, but about three feet in diameter
and high enough for me to stand in,
while considerable quantity of soft,
rotten wood lay at the bottom.

night. With my tomahawk chopped
off the branches of fallen tree and
had 1t several feet thick all round, with
the exception of a space left to creep in
at. Then prepared a block that |
could pull in after me to stop this hole.

and cut down all the dry, rotton wood

this made bed like goose nest and
with the small sticks stopped every
hole, until my house was dark.

the center of my bed for about half an
hour, till my feet and whole body were
agreeably warmed.
The snow in the meanwhile had

said Marian Dale, gravely. "Only see
what dismal place it is under that
ledge OF rocks, with only the
owls and the criclxets for neighbors.
Let us run, Clara, and we shall surely
reach home before the storm breaks"
"Hush!" Clara held up her finger as
low growl Of thunder rolled along the
edge of the horizon and the big drops
began to patter among the leaves of the
beech-copse, on whose outskirts they
stood. "Another five minutes and the
tempest will be upon us in all it's force.
We must not lose an instant in seeking
shelter"
but suppose old Huldah will not ad-
NIT usp'
ut is all nonsense to suppose any
thing of the kind She cannot refuse us
shelter in storm like this"
And, seizing her companions hand
resolutely, Clara Wynford almost
dragged her along over the rough in
equalities of the mountain path to the
little cabin which nestled beneath an
overhanging ledge of rocks. Once,
twice, she tapped, and, receiving no re-
sponse, boldly pushed the door open
and entered, while Marian followed
with beating heart and cheeks blanched
by vague, underlined terror.
A fire of sticks blazed on the huge
stone hearth, and an old woman sat be
fore 1t smoking short, black pipe. She
turned her head as they entered.
why didn't you say Come in,' HUI
dah?" inquired Clara, with good
humored imperiousness. Didn't you
hear us craving admission?"
Il heard your knock" hoarsely an

And why didn't you reply?'
II want no company" was the brief
answer.
But Clara Wynford, instead of being
repealed by this ungracious reception,
drew n wooden stool to the fire. beck
oning Marian to follow her example.
You're n cross old thing, Huldah,"
she said, laughing. Would you have
kept us out in the rain?'
Better to be drenched by the rain
than to seek shelter like this" said
Huldah, her face still turned away from
her unlimited guests.
why, lluldah, you speak as if this
place We're uncanny."
80 it is" said Huldah, sternly.
Are there ghosts here, or evil spir-

Clara! Clara!' pleaded Marian, pull

make my blood run cold"
But it's all NONSENSE laughed Clara.
"Oh, do listen to the rainl how it pours
upon the roof, and just see those vivid
flashes. You can't turn us out, Huldah,
now that we are here"
Huldah Dare's rigid old face softened
somewhat as she looked into the fresh
beauty of the sweet young countenapce
upturned to hers.
81 would never have invited you to
come in, Miss Clara" She said; but.

THE FARMERS DAUGHTER.

sing the Farmers Daughter, born
To make the farm life CHEEKY,
Who, singing at her task at morn, .A
AT even-tide not weary,
has still song, and still smile
For every living creature,
And lips that speak no word Of guile,
And face, and form, and feature
So full Of life and health the farm
In her sees natures sweetest charm
In ways her own she lives to learn
Some useful lesson daily,
And from lifes round Of care can turn
To question wisely, gayly,
All things that grow-the earth the sky,
And fruits and flowers in season,
And always getting sohe reply
That satisfies her reason;
And satisfied, she comes to know
All useful things the earth can grow.
Dumb creatures own her constant care,
And learn her steps 10 follow,
And broods Of chickens, far away,
In dusty beds to wallow,
Obey her call, and run and fly,
The mother hens contented
To gather with them supply
or food. in haunts frequented;
She, watching with unwearied care,
To see the youngest get their share.
The birds about her come and 70,
In careless, wanton pleasure
And sing the sweetest songs they know
To charm her hours OF leisure
The story OF her life she knows.
Their love songs sweetly breaking
The charm of sleep when morning shows
That night her leave is taking;
And wide awake, she greets the day,
And turns from rest with JOY away.
In city streets, she little hears,
But sounds that startle, weary,
And city life to her appears
AS restless'all, and dreary;
And city ways seem lacking all
In hearty zest and feeling,
And city woes her heart appall,
And want to greed appealing,
Shows life TO her so little known,
She gladly turns TO seek her own.
Where others faint, she wearies not
In any round OF duty:
And home for her is one dear spot
That daily grows in beauty
Beneath her hand all flowers bloom.
And fruits, full ripe or growing
For these she finds abundant room,
And proud she is OF showing
These blessings Of the earth, sent dow
BY God Himself our lives to crown
Dear girl the world has many ways
That end alike in sorrow,
And idle hands find tedious days
That change not on the morrow.
For you, the seasons come and go,
To every sense appealing;
For you, the buds to blossoms grow,
And these their fruits revealing,
In time will show how blest are they
Who natures laws and life obey.
