THE PATH OF LIFE.

When childhood's days we squander
Thinking only of our play,
And our thoughts in dreamland wander
Far away.
In our minds we're building castles
Full of hope and joy to come,
We see only fragrant roses
To the thorns our minds are numb.
The sweet voiced birds, the sparkling brook
And every flower we call our own
While resting in some pleasant nook
By mossy stone.
This world is full of joy and mirth
For care to us 10 yet unknown,
We live but to enjoy on earth
Sweet hope and peace alone.
But look in yonder sunlit path
a darkened form appears;
And then mid chi1dhood's joys arise
our fears.
And as to US the form draws near
There also comes the saddened thought
That we now must meet the spectre dark
Which life's first care has wrought.
One sorrows tear another brings,
And dark our paths before US wind,
And back we look to childhood's joys
Left behind.
This bitter thought is deeply felt
In many hearts at some sad time
When fond remembrance calls to mind
a bygone joy or childhood's rhyme.
But we find we can't recall them,
So we sadly turn aside.
And we find that now before us
Far and wide
Are deeds of kindness to perform,
And among them everywhere
Like thorns among the roses
Are wrongs mid virtues fair.
Steep and rugged seems the pathway,
But we clear away the mounds.
Ha rd we toll to gain the treasures
That abound. hr"
And our hearts sink low with fear
When we doubt that we shall win,
We are tempted to delay,

Yellowstone National Park.

The reputation of this wonderful region,
probably the most unique and certainly the
only one of its kind in the world, becomes more
extended yearly. Mankind never tires OF seeing
or reading of Its grand GEYsER FOUNTAINS, Its
superb CANYON, the beautiful YELLOWSTONE
LAKE more than 1000 feet above the ocean, the
high MOUNTAINS, the CASCADES and CArARAcTs,
the BEAR, ELK, DEER and ANTELOPE, the un-
euualed TROUT fishing and other interesting
features found there.
The PARK is free to the WORLD and Is under
the control of the United States Government.
Large hotels. electric lighted and steam heated.
are found at convenient points and first class.
specially constructed four horse stage coaches,
transport tourists from place to place.
Wonderland '9S has chapter which contains
a fund of information about the Park that
makes it perhaps, peculiarly valuable for
SCHOOLS and TEACHERs. The features Of the
Park are described ami there is besides, a large
amount of practical information about the
region and the ride through 1t. The Park tour
can be made either In the coaches. or on horse
back or bicycles. The book will be sent to any
address upon receipt Of six cents by CHAs. g..

ill-fated vessel. The timely use of it
is said to have saved the life OF Mid.
shipman Morris.
Eight years later, in 1912, an involun-
tary compliment, which would have
made a good fighting motto, was paid
to Decatur by the British tar, who ex-
claimed. as he noted the business-like
approach of the frigate United States:

enough Improved. Good, but futile, was
their own watchword: LET us conquer

very Characteristic of the bluff Amer
lean sailor was the greeting of Capt.
Hull. of the Constitution, to Capt.
Dacres, of the Guerriere, as the latter
climbed up the side to surrender at the
close of fierce engagement: I'm

commencement of hostilities the two
officers had made wager on the out
come of possible meeting between
their craft. No less characteristic was
the generous refusal of Hull TO deprive
his mortified opponent of his sword.

THE CAT CAME BACK.
Returned to Her Boston Home After
Having Been Shipped to Ha-
yana, Cuba, In a Vessel.

Many years ago, while residing at
the North End" Boston, writes cor
respondent of Our Dumb Animals, I
was the possessor of cat, which my
hrether, who was master of brig
bound to Havana, prevailed upon me to
give him, and just before sailing pussy
was taken on board of the vessel, then
lying at one of the wharves not far
away.
Several weeks elapsed, when one day
that cat appeared on our kitchen Win
dow sill, and upon being admitted gave
many evidences of Joy at being once
again at home.
My first thought was that my brother
had arrived with his brig, and pussy,
recognizing, the old landmarks, had
found her way back to us, but Il dill
gent search along the wharves failed to
discover any signs of the vessel, and it
was not till several weeks had passed
that | heard of her arrival at Portland,
Me.
Upon interviewing my brother in re-
gard tc the cat, he informed me that he
lost her while in Havana, and was much
surprised to learn that she had re-
turned to Boston. But the mystery
seemed to be explained by his recol-
Letting that there was Boston-bound
vessel lying near by, in which puss had
probably taken passage.

my demanding whether he had struck,

his terse proposition: by one good fire

with incredible hardihood, he attempt

harbor of city of $4,000 inhap itants.

he was thereafter known to his foes as

Lawrence's own watchword in the
disastrous conflict with the Shannon
was hardly so good-"Free trade and
sailors right" More characteristic of
the bloody affair were the ferocious
shouts-"Peacock them," and Kill the
lnen"-uttered by the combatants in
the heat of the fight.
During the same war Capt. IIillyar,
of the English frigate Phoebe, hoisted a
flag Haunting the motto-"God and
country, British sailors best rights:
traitors offend both" Capt. Porter bet
tered it, however, by hosting flag on
the mizzenmast of the Essex with the
motto-"God, our country, and liberty:
tyrants offend them" 1t was some
time after this exchange of courtesiea,
however, before the fight came off.
By no means all the good things have
emanated from officers. No less uneN-
pected than admirable was the word
and deed of the veteran sailors on the

ment with the Cyane and the Levant.
