OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY

Over the hills and far away,
A little boy steals from his morning play,
And under the blossoming apple tree
He lies and dreams of things to be;
OF battles fought and of victories won,
OF wrongs o'erthrown and of great deeds
done;
Of the valor that he shall prove some day
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away,
It's oh for the toll of the livelong day!
But it mattereth not to the soul afame
With the love for riches and power and
fame!
On. o mani while the sun is high
On to the certain joys that lie
Yonder where blazeth the noon of day,
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away,
An old man fingers at close of day;
Now that his journey is almost done,
His battles fought and his victories won.
The old-time honesty and truth,
The trustfulness and the friends of youth,
Home and mother-where are they!
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away!

Murdoch they made no sound. They
were past that. They only looked and
looked as though they would fix that
deadly face upon their minds forever.
And then silently still they dipped
their oars in the water, and we glided
out of that floating sepulcher.
We were far out on the moonlighted
sea before a word was uttered Then
Murdoch, who was always mouthpiece
to the rest, said solemnly, laying on
his oar:
'Weel, if that waurna a kelpie we
saw anoo', kenna the look o. ane
It's a dead won'er we werena at the
bottom O. that deiFS caldron; forbye
there's nae fire an birthstone, there
ether things jist as waur. It's deiIs
trick, and he's mony o. them
Shortly after, to our inexpressible
joy, we saw our good ship lying with
topsails backed not half a mile away.
We were soon on board, and never
shall forget the feeling of gratitude
which rose up within me when my
foot once more touched her deck.
1t was easy for me to reason out the
tragic fate of him who looked white
agony at US out of the dusk of that
horrible cavern; how, shipwrecked, he
had found shelter there, but died of
want and cold; how, by falling away
of the great buttress the balance of
the berg had deepened to his side,
and so only his face showed over the
black water, encased in its covering
of glass-like ice, which had fallen as
water from the roof and frozen on his
features. Although all this seemed
very possible, and even old Murdoch
said ''vera true" but with that into
nation which I knew meant just the
opposite, the others would never have
it else than cit was just a speerit, :"
and even now I am unable to divest
myself of that horror of the unseen
which fell upon me in that drifting
berg off the far Cape Horn.-All the
Year Round.

DIscoMFoRTs OF STAGE LIFE.

Wretched Dressing-rooms Travelling
Companies Must Put Up With.
The janitor has an important bearing
on the actors condition, which finds its
expression in his playing and possibly
on his nervous organization, says the
Forum. He supplies the house, and
in most cases, furnishes quarters for
the actors such as no seifrespecting
slave owner would in the old days haye
condemned a slave to occupy. For the
public nothing is too good. For tho
actor, on the other hand, anything is
good enough. Instead of silken draper
les, he finds only a tattered curtain at
the window, if, indeed, he finds cur
tain at all, or even a window which ID
might cover. Instead of soft, comfort
able chairs, one wooden chair, none too
clean, or a chair minus a back, will be
the only seat and, not infrequently, IL
he wishes to sit down, he must do so
on his trunk. Instead of delicateIy
tinted walls, he will find dirty walls
which have not been treated even to q
coat of whitewash for years. While
in the auditorium a soft carpet covers
rarely exists, or, if by chance there be
something which once was a carpet, 1t
is so dirty that it would be better away!
The washing appliances of the actors
room, if they are to be found at all,
usually consist of small basin with
tap of running water. Most people
would expect that, as the winter is the
theatrical season, and the paints used
by actors are made of grease, hot water
would be at hand. But this is rarely the
case, and in many instances running
water in the dressing-rooms is un-
known. 1t is not uncommon for actors
to refrain from using the basins, pre-
ferring to remove the make up" as
well as possible with vaseline, and to
wait until the hotel is reached to COM
plete this portion of the toilet. Tin
basins and buckets are not the worst
that I have seen son the road,' for once
the water was in battered dirty, old
lard tins, and basins had to be bought
by our manager.

LOVES SEASONS.

Twas s1ring when I first found it out;
Twas autumn when / told it;
The gloomy winter made me doubt,
And summer scarce could hold 1T:
@She loves" the mating robins sang
In sweet delicious trebles,
And in the brooks the echo rang
In music Ger the pebbles.
The fresh air, filed with fragrant scent
Of blossoms, softly limited
The self-same song; where'er I went
7 found the message printed
On bud and leaf, on earth and sky,
Through sun and rain it glistened,
And though 1 never reasoned why,
I always read or listened.
The summer dawned, and still the birds
Sang in their tree-top glory,
And something seemed to make their
words
a sequel to my story:
GYou love-" they twittered in the trees;
Whene'er the light wind stirred them
Distracting words!-on every breeze
They futtered, and / heard them.
At last the mellow autumn came,
And all the leaves were turning.
The fields and forests were afame
In golden sunlight burning;
The parting birds sang out again
A sentimental message:
SEQ tell her." whispered they, and then
I thought twas loves first presage.
o timid-hearted twenty-four, -
To faint and lose your courage,
Or half reluctantly implore
A pretty girl at her age!
For when l stammered what they sang,
And all their secrets told her,
She said the birds were right, and hung
Her head upon my shoulder.

down since morning, till now 1T was
paralyzed, or at most beat family on
the bank through which the ship was
slowly pushing her way. Above, the
sails doomed out like huge shadows;
they seemed but darker patches of the
impalable vapor which clothed all
things. Icould her them flap loudly as
the ship swayed her tall hamper now
this way, now that, Keeling and tum-
bling about on the great crestless seas
which rolled up from the westward.
And the laundering of the rudder I'M
der the round stern as it felt the weight
Of the seas, shook the ship to her center,
and combined with the music of the
canvas to form q concert too utterly
abominable for a seaman to express.
Every minute the bell for'a'd rang
out its brazen warning. 1t was a neces-
sary precaution, for any moment YES
sci might have crashed into US through

Speedy Cure OF a Hat smasher.

A well-known man about town, other
wise sane, has taken a f1endish delight
in smashing the headwear of his
friends. No tile was sacred, no hat teO
fine for his aim. Until Friday it was
this mans proud boast that he had
smashed at least thirty since winter
One particular acquaintance, a big,
broad-shouldered, good-natured fellow,
who had escaped the f1end, was just
itching to have his tile crushed. His
desire was granted on Friday, for the
fiend swooped down upon and drove
his hat into a shapeless mass. Instant
", however, his own hat was of and
the next instant in shreds, and himself
rolling around the street under maui
ing that was not so gentle even as
paving sweeper. The hat smasher pre-
scented a sorry spectacle when he
emerged from the cyclone, but it's safe
betting that he won't destroy any more
headgear.-Philadelp Record.

AN ADVENTURE
OFF CAPE HORN.

HE fog hung SO
thick over the sea
that one could cut
it with a knife.
Never before had I
seen anything like

cheek like icicles,

The Name Sometimes a Misnome

The Name Sometimes a NIfsnomer.
The captain of a San Francisco tug
thus describes storm on the Pacific,
which shows that at times the name
is a miSnomer.
when 1 say that the waves ran
mountains high l am not exaggerat-
ing the situation in the least. The
tug would be poised on the crest Of
sea and then be plunged down into a
valley of water which seemed mile
below US. At times the moon would
come out through the clouds and in the
uncertain light the waves seemed
twice as high. The wind was blowing
a perfect hurricane and our lee rail was
under water all the time The angry
sea appeared raging above, below, and
all around us, and nearly every wave
into which we dipped would wash
over the tug. 1t was impossible to re-
main aft for the lower deck was
