THE P-RosPEcToR.

Filled with hope and flushed with health,
With wistful eye and willing hand,
He hunts for natures boarded wealth
From mountain crest to ocean strand
Around the camp IRE oft he lies,
In northern lands OF Ice and snow;
Again, he sleeps meath southern skies,
Where soft the tropic breezes blow.
He braves the thirst, and stakes his claim
Upon the burning deserts sands
And risks the red m~arauder's aim,
And bandits bold, in Aztec lands.
The smudge he lights, at eyentide,
And sllngs his hammock meath the tro3
Where sweeps the orinoco, wide,
To we'd tho blue-waved Carribee.
On Aries dark and distant shore,
From peak to plain, from brook TO bay,
Mi serpents' hiss and ions roar,
He seeks the lustrous diamonds ray.
On far AustralIa's lonely soil,
When low the sun sinks In the vest,
Overcome by travel or by toll.
Reclining on the ground, at rest.
When naught Is heard but the Dingo's cry,
And the owl and bat fit to and fro,
He draws q sigh for the times, gone by,
OF Ballarat and DeDdigo.
When on the hills the twilight falls,
In the '.sun-kissed land OF flower and
yine,"
With old-time friends he oft recalls
Those golden days OF 40.
When armed with shovel, pick and pan,
They thlther came from lands afar,
And sluices set and rockers ran
From Suffers mill to Sawyer's bar.
Where sovereign state and nation stand
And spired cities proudly rear,
There he Is found, the foremost man,
Tho patriot and the pioneer.
With fearless heart and hopeful breast,
And naught but fortune In his mind;
North and south and east and west
He seeks until he strikes his find.

An inhabitant of the Seilly Islands
was-struck by the fact that the rats
there seemed to prosper greatly,
although the place is very barren. He
resolved to investigate the cause of
this, and digging up some Of the nests
by the seashore, found that the rats
had dragged crabs into their holes,
and, in order to prevent their escape,
had bitten off their legs. No doubt
the prey had been seized at low tide
and brought home, to be stored up
there by the original device just de-
scribed.-Der Stein der Weisen.

His Wife'S Confession.

~~~~~>~

When Harold Wilton married Edith
Morse he knew very little about her
past life. Indeed, she was so young,
SO like a flower that had but just fairly
unfolded, that it was hard to realize
that she had any past. 1t seemed to
him when he found her sitting OPP
posite to him one morning at the table,
at u summer resort in the mountains,
that she was q new Eve created for
him alone; and as they were the only
young folks in the house there was no
one to dispute his claim.
There are people, no doubt, who
would have hesitated to admit that
Edith was beautiful, she was so unlike
the brilliant brunette who sat next to
her, just al there are people who
think an opal not worth looking at in
comparison with q diamond; but young
Wilton, who, without being conscious
of it, was a poet and an artist, found
an endless charm in the quick kim
ding Of the frank blue eyes, and the
coming and going of the dimples in
the delicate nunlike face.
Had any one told him that she had
grown up among the sand dunes he
would hardly have believed ii, for, with
the grace and sweetness Of o wild rose,
she had are finement of voice and man
ner that told Enthusiastically of gentle
breeding. Yet until the last two years,
her home, from the time she was in
short frocks, had been in the little viii
lage of Hardacre at the far end of
Long Island, and, if her cousin had
not Glanced to discover her, she would
never have found her way to
this mountain paradise.
