A DESPERATE EXPEDIENT.
BY DANIEL CIEVERTON.

The lecture was just at an end, and
Walter Dundas, M. A., Cantab, gath
cred his papers together, while his au-
dience, chiefly consisting of ladies, pre-
pared to depart. The university ex-
tension had but recently penetrated
into the remote provincial town of
Slumberleigh, and had there met with
almost unprecedented success.
Reaching the outer door before the
whole assembly had dispersed, Dundas
scanned each of his students, exchang-
ing greetings and farewells with some
whose acquaintance he had made dur
ing his few weeks residence in Slum-
berleigh. As the last departed, he
turned on his heel and, heaving a slight
sigh, betook himself to his hotel. 81

them, when hardly clear of their shell,

One bright June morning fortune

lake shore to pay visit to houseful
of noisy red-wing black birds My boat
was lying motfonless among the tall
cattails that fringed the shores of the
lake. Suddenly l heard loud splash
behind me, and, turning to look, saw
on the water, short distance away,
just shaking the spray from her wings,
a female wood duck, and near her two
tiny balls, so small that they resen4-
bled water lilies floating on the sur
face
The old bird took wing, lowered and
circled above her babies for few min
utes and then flew to a cavity in tall
tree, a short distance away. In short
time the male bird, arrayed in the
handsomest of plumage, joined his
mate. Then for few minutes could
hear soft, cooling noise, which re-
minded me of husband and wife dis
cussing some important point relative
to the welfare of their children. The
cooling soon stopped and the mother

home. Then she dropped toward the

addition of two to the family in the
water, which kept growing until it
numbered twelve. Then the mother

THE cALF.PATH.

One day through the primeval wood
A calf walked home, as good calves should
But made trail all bent askew.
Acrooked trail, as all calves do.
Since then two hundred years have fed,
And / infer, the calf Is dead
But still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
BY lone dog that passed that way,
And then wise bell wether sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep
And drew the flock behind him, too,
As good bell-wethers always do
And from that day, Ger hill and glade,
Through those old woods path was made,
And many men wound In and out,
And lodged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words of righteous wrath,
Because twas such crooked path;
Bat still they followed-do not laugh
The first migrations of that alf,
And through this winding woodway stalked
Because he wabbled when he walked.
This forest path became lane,
That bent and turned and turned again;
This crooked lane became a road,
Where many poor horse, with his load,
Toiied ON beneath the burning sun,
And trav eled some three miles in ona
And thus a century and half
They trod the footsteps of that calf.
The years passed on in swftness fleet
The road became a village street.
And this, before men were aware,
A city's crowded thoroughfare,
And soon the central street was this
OF renowned metropolis
And men two centuries and a half
Trod in the footsteps of that calf
Each day hundred thousand rout
Followed the zigzag calf about;
And DER his crooked journey went
The traffic OF continent
A hundred thousand men were led
By one calf near three centuries dead
They followed still his crooked way.
And lost one hundred years a day;
For thus such reverence is lent |
To we'll established precedent.
moral lesson this might teach,
Were | ordained and called to preach. |
For men are prone to go it blind
Along the calf-paths of the mind,
And work away from sun to sun
To do what other men have done
They follow in the beaten track,
And out and in, and forth and back,
And still their devious course pursue,
To keep the path that others do.
But how the wise old wood-gods laugh,
Who saw the first primeval calf,
Ali many things this tale might teach
But am not ordained to preach
