A woman never really knows the

that most strongly influences the health
OF children, comes from some derange-

Beneath some mighty, sun-smlt crest.
And, folded by the loving hills,

Yet dream of all eternity
Forget thine old reward or blame,
Forget thy little goal or quest,
Wrapped by the peace that hath 10 name,
Rest IN the Lord.

Is broken by no holiday,
Open thy doors to scent and sound,
Let summer meet thee on thy way,
Gather its glory II Its balm,
Make ready for thy royal guest
A shrine OF sweet, perpe' ual calm.
Rest in the Lord.

And thou, o toiler in the heat,
Whose eyes nor birds nor blossoms cheer
Against whose thirst and longing beat
The blaze and burden of the year
For thee the cold, white stars are born,
For thee night wells the burning west;
From crimson eve till golden morn
Rest in the ord.
Rest!

"A bright winter morning had caused
tho crew of the lightship to row a short
distance away i'll q small boat in search
OF Goldfish, which are very abundant off
the cGspes in winter time. A few hours
fishing resulted in a goodly catch and a
return was made to the lightship. The
fish were cleaned and the refuse thrown
overheard, but a calm sea, with not a
breath Of air to disturb it, caused the
refuse to drift in a circle around the
ship. Toward noon a large flock of geese
came IN sight and settled under the

to feed. Tho Waterfowl became very
tame ard swan chattering and kissing

at his fear, but he told them to bide
their time.

OF the nor'east and kicked up q heavy

MANY Of the crew were in the main
cabin below enjoying a social game Of

suddenly they heard the sound Of q chain

had given way. The sight witnessed
will never be forgotten. Crowell had
been caught in the relief chain and
ground around the rapidly revolving
