When DR.. Temple, the present pri-
mate, was headmaster of Rugby school.
he paid a visit to DR.. Benson, his pre-
decessor in the see of Canterbury. who
was at that time the master of Well
ington college. One afternoon the two
went for a stroll through the woods
behind Heath pool. Benson began to
point out to his companion the sylvan
beauties of the place. calling his spe-
cial attention to a magnificent beech
tree. For awhile Temple admired it in
silence, then suddenly crying, II can't

The birds were singing blithely in the
valley and on the mountain, and there
was joyous echo in the girls heart,
as she tripped along the rough path
way. Barbara Graves was going away,
and she was glad. All nature was
awake early as If to bid her fond
farewell. The old Danes children
knew her step and loved her voice.
Her feet barely gave the caressing
grasses time to kiss them, so quick and
graceful were their spring; her pretty,
brown hands were filled with flowers,
for they seemed to leap into them, at
fectionately, as she passed. A gor-
geous butterfly majestically floated be-
fore her, and brown lizard winked
good-humoredly as he glided along.
The white kitten, its leg tied loosely
to the gate-post, pleadingIy mewed,
and Barbara's heart smote her, as its
cries grew fainter. She could not take
1t with her. Alas! now that she was
actually going, the kitten represented
SO many things. Yet after all the part
ings Barbara's heart was glad She
thought it was because she was going
away; but It was the Joy of the hour
and the place.
She was really going beyond the
mountains at last! Hitherto the viii
lage academy had been her ambition.
Now, it was the city-the city, far
away and beautiful!
Barbara walked rapidly, and was
nearing the brow of the mountain,
when gun-shot hushed the melodies
around her. In graceful circles an
eagle wheeled slowly up the steep as
cent, his mortal wound not Iessening
the majesty of his bearing; and the
man below only knew he was wound
ed by the birds slow progression.
Reaching the summit, the goal of his
last struggle, the king of birds alighted
on wall Of natural granite. Wearily,
his great pinions dropped, and with an
effort he turned about and gazed into
the valley below. A place to die worth
