THE BLIND MAN

The blind man at his window basu
Stands in the morning dewy dim.
The lily footed dawn, the stars
That wait for it, are naught to him.
And naught to his unseeing eyes
The BROWNIES of sunny plain,
Where worn and drowsy August lies
And wakens but to sleep again.
And naught to him q greening slope
That yearns up to the heights above,
And naught the leaves of May that Ope
As softly as the eyes of love.
And naught to him the branching aisles
Athrong with woodland worshipers,
And naught the fields where summer
smiles
Among her sunburned laborers.
The way trailing streamlet goes,
The barefoot grasses on its brinl,
The dew that some flower cup o'erfows
With silent Joy, are hid from him.
To him no breath of nature calls.
Upon his desk his work is laid.
He looks up at the dingy walls
And listens to the voice of trade.

mands no one thought Of studying.
At last the tutor lost patience.
II shall have to refer this matter to
the DOCTOR" he began.
"Do," said Frank, whose desk was OH
the opposite side Of the room from Taffy.
Now was Taffy's chance. He eau
tiously mounted his desk, his cheeks
bulged out with wind, looking like a
full moon. The boys commenced to
cheer, And Mr.. Whyland turned in time
to see Taffy standing on tiptoe on the
desk, with his mouth directly over
gas burner. That was all he saw, how
ever, for just then Taffy S mouth opened,
and gust of wind from it swept down
the gas burner. Immediately all was
darkness, not only in that room, but in
the whole building.
Then what all uproar there wasl Rub
bers and books commenced to fly in the
direction of the tutor. Then some one
fired an inkslAnd toward the blackboard.
1t did not reach its destination. Just
then the door opened, and DR.. and Mrs.
Arnold, with several Of the teachers
and older boys, appeared with lights and
matches to stop the gas that was escap-
ing from every flameless burner.
"Silence!' roared the old man, and
every one fell into the seat nearest to
him. "What does this mean, Mr.. Why
land?"
