After an hours thorough summing

the clothing, had been summing for

As I expected. Mary was asleep and
never awakened until dinner time.
Then she was ready for hearty
meal of roast beef with few of the
grapes for relish.
Before my two weeks visit ended
she was able to sit up for an hour or
two at time and to walk to her
favorte resting place in the hammock,
which had substituted for the sofa.
The greater part of every pleasant
day was spent between the hammock
and an easy chair on the veranda.
When left it was with the promise
that Mary was to return my visit in six
weeks, which promise was punctually
kept. She bore the hundred-mile
journey with no undue fatigue, and
could scarcely recognize in the bright,
healthful face and plump form. the
emaciated, helpless, hopeless invalid
whom I had found in the darkened
room two months before. Yet it was
no miracle, but simply common sense

still, taught her how to keep ltd

A FUNNY BOY.

l will tell you Of a boy who used to
walk, and talk, n do many other funny
things in his sleep. One night when it
was quite cold and the ground covered
with snow, he took his little axe and
sailed forth in his night clothes to the
great wood pile, and cutting a big armfull

room, 1t was discovered that he was
sound asleep, but he could remember
nothing about 1t the following morning.
A friend visiting him q year or two
afterwards, they occupied the same room.
About midnight, the family were awak-
ened by fearful screams from that part Of
the house. John imagined his guest was
a big savage Indian about to scalp his
little sister, and made q fierce attack on
him that might have terminated seriously.
had not his father interfered.
During the civil war many farm houses
We're burned to the ground, and Johns
parents thought it would be we'll to send
some of their valusblss to the house of u

farm had been stolen, and this was the

or other he got all mixed up. and 20 did
the wagon, for 1t first ran into q gate

Finding no line Of explanation, he was
fully convinced Of her desertion. "Driven
away from home," he said, "when wife
and baby are all the world to me-"
A supperless man retired, not to rest,
for he was haunted by Mary's sad eyes;
and with sleep came five dollar bills,
shutting her form from view.
When John had gone that afternoon,
Mary remained at the tahle. Tears
blinded her eyes, while she exclaimed,

BABY's SHIP.
BY MRS. A. W. HOLT.
The ship of your life, my sweet baby,
So fair aud so lovely 70 me,
With its sails glintinR bright In the sun
Is just launching out on the sss.
On the ocean of time you are sailing,
And your voyage 10 Just begun.
And the pure. ripping wavsiets are
Refecting the bright shining sun.
And all things look 20 beautiful, darling
The feathery spray on b bow
Glistsns gorgeous with tints Of thu
rainbow,
And lovliest forms are below.
Rsrest corals and pearls q rich treasures,
Aud soft gentle brsezes above.
Carry onward your frail little vessel,
Far out from Its small starting cove.
Hidden reefs and sharp rocks and ses
monsters,
And whiripools and dangers 30 near,
o, say, will your vessel steer clearf
You cannot guide your vessel yourself
dear.
Then Just starting out on ifs's sea
Take your Savior, your God for your
And safe from all dangers you'll be-.
| Then the tempest may burst in its fury,
The sharp rock may yawn at POUR side
But with Christ at the helm, you mex
fear not,
He will guide you safe through the rough
And when ifs's htful voyage Is DER,
| He will anchor your ship In the harbor
On eternity's hevenly shore.
