The position Of poet laureate is Of very
little consequence. The work is light.
Southey refused to take the laurel crown
until it was conceded that he might
write only when and what he chose.
The pay is little or nothing-something
like e100 year, if we are not mistaken.
Ruskin is not much of poet, but if he
cannot handle given subject as well as
Swinburne can, then he is to be pitied.
Swinburne pretends to be poet and is
not; Ruskin is not and does not pretend
to be. The fact is, laureate timber is
very scarce in England just now. 1t
will require at least century toproduce
another Tennyson.

Black Bear and Brown Bear That Liked
10 Play with cf!ldren.
Some bears are very fond OF play 1t l.
said that, taking advantage Of this weak
ness, hunters sometimes tie logs of wood ii
the trees so that they will swing freely
The bears find them and sit for hours swil i
ing them back and forth, While thus EN-
ployed they become easy prey to the hunters
A story is told of a little girl who was lost
for several hours and who was finally found
in the pen of a tame black bear. In looking
at the bear she had fallen into the pen, and
the bear evidently thought she had come tc
play with him. Instead of tearing her tc
pieces, as he easily could have done, he took
her in his arms, almost tenderly as her own
mamma could have done. The story may be
true, for the black bear is of playful dis
position, except when it is attacked or
when driven by fear or hunger The same
is true of the brown bear

The Conviot,s Dream.

The moon looked in on his lonely cell,
The barren floor and the untouched fare,
And its holy veil on his wan face fell
And covered the pain and sin marks there,
And a smile, the first for many day,
The first for many a weary year,
Crept over his lips as he sleeping lay
And banished the look of haunted fear.
He dreamed that, boy again, he strayed
Affair in the glowing, dying wood
The golden sunlight around him played,
And the ripe nuts fell with pleasant thud
Again a squirrel in fearsome fright
Sought shelter up in a whispering tree,
And rabbit, wild in it's eager fight,
Dashed into the bushes tremblingly.
And again, grown weary of wand ring play,
He turns his steps to his welcome home,
Where face as sweet as a sweet June day
Is smiling greeting to her son.
my boy! My boy!' and the lips close meet,
And she listens with earnest, lovelit eyes,
While he tells of the days work, sad and sweet,
And his wonderful hope that in future lies.
But the moonlight fades-and he wakes.
For moment a blank-and then sob
From the white, drawn lips in anguish breaks
And tears his heart with mighty throb.
His boyhood is past-the mother sleeps
Where his sob no answering love can wake
And he thinks of his life and weeps and weeps
Till it seems if the bursting heart musl
break.
God pity him therel And pity the men
Who languish behind the prison wall,
Who look on the past through the eyes of sin,
And long for the love beyond recall.
Let thy love, like the moonlight, sweet and
still,
Steal over them-bid their anguish cease
And speak that word with holy thrill:
"Behold, / forgive thee, brother. Peace!"

GEMS IN VERSE.
The Hidden nnnrd.

There is not word thou hast ever said.
There Is not a glance of thine,
There is not tear thou has CHANGED to shed,
That | have not by stealth made mine
And boarded away for the wintry day
When thy love shall have ceased to shinel
Now that bask in thy smiles galore,
And song in thy least breath find,
never need gaze on that furtive store
Deep down in my heart enshrined,
But summers delight will one day take flight,
And then, for the bleak, bleak windl
In the season of sorrow and waste and wreck.
When all shall seem doomed to wane,
That long cherished hoard shall my heart nUt
lack,
Though naught beside it remain.
But with glamour lit eyes, porting over each
prize,
shall dream that thou iov'st againl

Probably no animal in the world spends
more of its life among trees than the sloth,
which is a native of the tropical forests Of
South America 1t lives among the trees,
feeds on their leaves and sleeps suspended
from a bough or huddled up at the point
where the branch meets the trunk. 1t does
not walk along the branches, but clings
from them back downward. Fairly active
by night, it spends its day in Sleep and
having little need to cultivate intelligence
is one of the dullest of creatures It's chief
enemy is the snake, which is enabled to at
tack it in it's own quarters. When it has
stripped one tree of its foliage, it moves on
to the next by Selling an adjoining branch,
but should this not be possible it must per
force come to the ground, on which it walks
most clumsily. and climb afresh.

Every night when the lights are low?
All through the shadows they take their way
To a charming city unseen by day,
Over the country by dale and dcvn.
All the way into Curtain TOWN.

Tender castle no eyes may find;

Through Drowsy dingle we needs must wend.

Zinc Feathers DO Not MaEe Zinc Birds.

Fine Feathers Do Not Make Fine Birds.
She was a lady with pins in her hair
On funny old Japanese fan;
He was proud bit of Chinese ware
In the shape of mandarin man.
She sighed when she saw him appear on the
shelf,
For she thought of her shabby old frock.
She said, "Ohl know he will sc0rn an old fan
AS he comes of very proud stock
The mandarin sneered as he took front place
But his pride had a fall when he found
That the fan was dispatched to very grand
show,
For her beauty and age we're renowned.
So wen leave him alone on his shelf, while be
thinks,
With large diminution of pride,
1T is notthe feathers that make the fine birds
But the worth of the bird that's inside"

Another incident of the same nature is
vouched for as having really occurred by
the author of a book on Siberia: Two chill
dren, one A and the other years of age, had
wandered away from their home. After a
little time they were missed by their par
ents, who at once set out in search of them.
To their horror they found their children
engaged in play with large brown bear,
and they were all having a jolly time. One
of the children was feeding his great shaggy
playmate with fruit, while the other had
climbed on his back and was havinga ride
The mother screamed on seeing the appar.
ent danger of her children, upon which the
little fellow slid off his back, and the bear
trotted away into the woods
