Oil Yourself a Little

Once upon a time there lived an old
gentleman in a large house. He had ser
wants and everything he wanted, and yet
he was not happy, and when things did
not go as he wished he was very cross.
At last his servants left him. Quite out
of temper, he went to a neighbor with the
story of his distresses.

THE ISLE OF LONG AGO.
BY BENJAMIN F. TAYLOR

Oh, a wonderful stream is the River Time,
AS 1t flows through the realm of years,
With a faultless rythm and a musical rhyme,
And abroader sweep and a surge sublime.
As 1t blends with the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting, like flakes OF
snow,
And the years in the sheaf-so they come
and go
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
And they glide in the shadow and sheen.
There's a magical isle up the River Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing;
There's a cloudless sky and a tropical cline
And a voice as sweet as a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
And the name of this isle is Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of
snow
There are heaps of dust, but we love them
sol
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are frag ments of songs that nobody
sings,
And a j part of an nfant's prayer.
There's a harp unswept and a lutte without
strings,
There are broker VOWS ana pieces of rings,
And The garments she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the
fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear through the turbu.
lent roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone be.

oh. remembered for aye be the blessed isle
All the day of our life till night,
And when evening nm s with its beautiful

And our ewes are closing in slumber awhile,

he came to and got upon his feet. He

seemed to come back to him.
He looked at the ~blackened country

and said with a little weak smile: 81

an angle formed by the stable and a line
OF sheds and crowded them closely to-
gether. They stood there with lowered
heads. gaspinR for wind, their TANKS
sunken. while the sweat fell drip, drip to
the ground.
Then with a mighty, roaring sound
and a cracking as OF a thousand muskets,
the fire swept up over the ridge 10 front
and was upon them. Nerveless, weak
with terror, Boots watched it ooming-he
seemed 80 unsupported, so helpless, little
fellow, alone as he was. He felt himself
Keeling In the saddle, but clung on
grimly.
The air was sitting hot. A blast that
seemed to scorch and blister every inch
Of skin struck him full in the face.
Pebbles, caught up by the terrific draught
OF the flames, began to shower upon him.
Tumble weeds, all ablazs, went shooting
overhead like meteors and dropped in
among the horses, setting them frantic.
Crazy with fear, they pressed close up to
Boots, as though he could afford them
protection. Then, for the first time in
his life, he heard a horse scream with
very terror.
He tried to speak to calm them; but
not q word came. He was choking, suf-
locating with smoke, and every breath
was attended with intense agony. His
temples were pounding madly, his eyes
seemed to be bursting from his head.
A moment later the FIRE was past, he
could hear its sullen roar beyond him.
He was dimly conscious that all was over,
that the herd was safe. And then his
head grew light, a giddy f~aintness came
over him, and he felt himself pitching
forward.
