They knocked at the hut door and
in answer to voice entered. The
sunlight streamed in over a woman
lying upon heap of dried flowers in
the corner and man kneeling be-
side her. The came near and saw that
the woman was Cynthie.
Then Pierre broke out suddenly,
"Fingall?" and caught;the kneeling
man by the shoulder. At the sound
of his voice the woman's eyes opened.
"Fingall! Oh, Fingall she said and
reached up a hand. The bearded
man stoopedand caught her to his
breast.
"Cynthie, poor girl! Oh, my poor
Cynthie!" he said.
In his eyes, as in hers, was sane
light, and his voice, as hers, said in
describable things.
Her head sank upon his shoulder;
her eyes closed. She was asleep.
Fingall laid her down with a sob in
his throat. Then he sat up and clutch
ed Pierre's hand.
I'm the east, where the doctors
cured me, l heard" he said pointing
to her, land came to find her. Twas
just in time. found her yesterday"
And she knew your" whispered
Pierre.
''Yes, but the fever came hard
after" He turned and looked at her,
and kneeling smoothed away the hair
from the smiling, pathetic face. Poor
girl! he said.
''She will get well?' asked Pierre.
God grant it, Fingall replied
''She is better-better.
Lawless and Pierre softly turned
and stole away, leaving the man
alone with the girl.
The two stood in silence looking
upon the river beneath. Presently a.
voice crept through the stiffness.
''Fingall! Oh, Fingalll Fingalll'
1t was a voice of a woman returning
from the dead.

NARCOTIC NIGHT.

Early one morning, after vainly en-.
deavoring to sleep, went outside.
The stars were shining in sky of
dark, rich purple tightening to a
yellowish tone on the northern horizon
the vast desert was great mass of
delicate lilac and green, and the igloo
a brighter note of the same color.
The dogs, curled up in balls and al
most covered by the snow, were SO
many black spots. The wind blew
shrill and chill, and the snow stream
ed and eddied in long wells over the
lonely desert. The tents tapped like
great birds alighting, and the wind
gage kept up monotonous tap, tap,
tap. The utter loneliness and desola-
ton of the scene were so penetrating
that was glad to creep over the re-
cumbent forms of my companions into
the shelter of the sleeping bag, where
l shivered and dozed until the bright
sun called us again to life and action.

ChAfE Wv THE DOOR.
Some one has gone from this strange world of
ours,
No more To gather its thOrns from its flowers,
No more to linger where sunbeams must fade,
Where in all beauty Deaths fingers are laid,
Weary with mingling life's bitter with sweet
Weary with parting and never to meet,
Some one has gone to the bright golden shore,
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door.
Some one is resting from sorrow and sin,
Happy where earths conflicts enter not in,
Joyous as birds when the morning is bright,
When the sweet sunbeams have brought in the
light,
Weary of sowing and never to reap
Weary of labor 9nd welcoming sleep,
Some ones departed to Heavens bright shore,
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door.
Angels were anxiously longing to meet,
One who walks with them in Heavens bright
street,
Loved ones have whispered that some one is
blest,
Free from earth's trials and taking some rest,
Yes, there is one more in angelic bless,
One less TO cherish, one less TO kiss;
One more departed to Heavens bright shore /;
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door.

FOR EARLY RISING.

The lark was up to meet the sun
and carol for his lay; the farmers son
took down his gun and at him blazed
away. The busy bee arose at 5 and
buzzed the meadow DER; the farmers
wife went for his hive and robbed him
of his store. The ant rose early, his
labors to begin; the greedy swallows
few that way and took his lordship
in. Oh, bee, birds and ants, be wise;
in proverbs take no stock. Like me,
refuse to rise until half past So'clock.

"ROCK OF -1GES,r

Rock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Thoughtlessly the maiden'sung;
Fell the words uncOnSciously
From her girlish, gleeful tongue;
Sang as little children sing;
Sang as sings the birds in June;
Fell the words like bright leaves down
On the current of the tongue:
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself i'll Thee"
Let me hide myself in Thee
Felt her soul no need to hide;
Sweet the song rs sweet could be
And she had no thought beside;
All the words unheedingly
Fell from lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not they each might be
On some other lips prayer
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-
Twas woman sung them now,
Pleadi-gly and prayerfully;
Every word her heart did know;
Rose the song as storm tossed bird
Bears with weary wing the air;
Every note with sorrow stirred,
Every syllable prayer
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-
Lips grown aged sang the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly-
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Trembling though the voice and low
Rose the sweet strain peacefully,
Like a river in its flow. =,
Sung as only they can sing
Who life's thorny paths have pressed;
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Sung above Il coffin lid;
Underneath are restfully,
All LIES joys and sorrows hid.
Nevermore, D storm-tossed soul.
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Nevermore from pillows roll
Wilt thou need thyself to hide.
Could the slightless, sunken eyes,
Close beneath the soft, gray hair;
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Sill, aye STILL the words would be,
Let me hide myself in thee"
