SCATTERED ROSES.


A little maiden strayed one day
Where roses bloomed along tht hedgey,
Where dancing daisies decked the way,
And ferns peeped out from messy sedges
She heaped her little wooden cart
With the bright blooms to overlooking,
Then turned to go, her little heart
Unconscious where her feet were going.
A hillside lay along before.
With every step the child assembled,
She spilled her roses more and more
Till all were gone, and day was ended.
And when the maiden came not back
Came anxious loved ones out to find her
And traced her by the rosy track
OF all the flowers she left behind her.
Our little maiden grows in grace,
Her path along life's highway leading.
Her still ascending feet we trace
By flowers she droppeth, still unheeding.

Circunstantia1 Evidence.

Even the clearest and most perfect
circumstantial evidence is likely to be
at fault, after all, and therefore ought
to be received with great caution. Take
the CAST of any pencil, sharpened by
any woman. If you have witnesses,
you will find she did it with a knife,
but if you take simply the aspect of the
pencil you will say she did it with her
teeth. Mark Twain in Century.

MY SHIP.

Alloy. my mariners just ashorei
Say, have you seen in whatever sea
A vessel loaded with golden store.
With diamonds and laces and wealth galore.
Bound for its home and me?
For she started many year ago
From a faroff port where the fairies be,
And it's oh, that the winds may kindly blow,
And it's oh, that the tides may softly flow.
And hasten her home to me!
There's sweet young girl given me her
hand,
Who some day my little wife will be,
And every day on the wave kissed strand
Together with eyes a-sea we stand.
Scanning the sun kissed sea.
We're going to wed when my ship comes
home,
Home to its port and home to me.
| know in my soul it is sure to come,
Wherever abroad it may chance to roam,
In whatever bay or sea.
Ribbons and laces my love shall wear,
And flashing jewels and satin she,
With diadems decking her golden hair.
All, never queen will be half SO fair
When my ship comes over the sea!
So, no, my mariners just ashore!
Say, have you seen in whatever sea
A vessel loaded with golden store,
With diamonds and laces and wealth galore,
Bound for its port and me?

on. She sat down SO that she could see
across the valley, but the mist was ris-
ing there and prevented her looking
down. Then she chose another place,
and without thinking more about it sat
down so that she looked toward the side
where lay the ford. 1t seemed to bring
peace to her soul when she could gaze
far away across the water.
AS she sat there the fancy struck her
that she was inclining to sing, so she
chose a song with 'long drawn notes, :"
and far and wide it sounded through
the mountains. She liked to hear her.
self sing, so she began over again when
the first verse was ended. But when she
had sung the second it seemed to her as
though some one answered from far
down below. "Dear me, what can that
be-" thought Aslang. She stepped for
ward to the edge and twined her arms
round slender birch which hung trem-
bling over the precipice and looked
down. But she could see nothing. The
ford lay there calm and at rest. Not a
single bird skinned the water. So AS
lang sat herself down again, and again
she began to sing. Once more came the
answering voice in the same tones and
nearer than the first time. ''That sound
was no echo, whatever it may be. % As
lang jumped to her feet and again lean
ed over the cliff. And there down below
at the foot of the rocky wall she saw a
boat fastened. It looked like tiny nut
shell, for it was very far down. She
looked again and saw fur cap and un-
der it the squire Of man climbing up
the steep and barren cliff.
"What can it be?'' Aslang asked her
self, and letting go the birch she step
ped back. She dared not answer her
own question, but well she knew who
it was. She flung herself down upon the
greensward and seized the grass with
both hands, as though it were she who
dared not loose her hold for fear of fall
ing. But the grass came up by the
roots. She screamed aloud and dug her
hands deeper and deeper into the soil
She prayed to God to help him, but
then it struck her that this feat of
Thor's would be called tempting PROV
idence," and therefore he could not ex-
pect help from above
s'Only just this once, p" she prayed
''Hear my prayer just this one time
and help him. Then she threw her
arms round the dog, as though it were
Thor whom she was clasping, and rolled
herself Oh the grass beside it.
The time seemed to her quite endless
Suddenly the dog began to bark.
''Bowwowr' said he to Aslang and
jumped upon her. And again, Wow

coarse, round cap came to view, and
Thor was in her arms!
He lay there whole minute, and
neither Of them was capable of uttering
syllable. And when they did begin to
talk there was neither sense nor reason
in anything they said.
But when old Canute Husaby heard
Of it he uttered remark which had
both sense and reason, bringing his fist
down on the table with a tremendous
crash. 'fThe lad deserved her, " he cried.

Paying For Their Keep,

The proprietor Of a chemical works
received from his shoemaker a pair Of
water tight boots, which he was, how
ever, unable to wear, as they were a
trife too small. He therefore gave them
to one of his workmen to wear for a
few days and stretch them to the re-
quired dimensions. Several weeks passed
over, and the employer had forgotten all
about the boots when he was suddenly
reminded Of them in curious fashion:
On certain pay day the workman in
