more attractive to boys who have

than to penetrate the forests of the

fish, to cook their meals at camp fires.

Like a cloud or fire;
The blue deep thou wingeSt,
And singing still dost soar, and soar
ing, sngest,
All the earth and air
With thy voice is loud,
As when night is bare,
From one lonely cloud
The moon rains out her beams, and
heaven is overlooked.
What thou art we know not;
What is most like thee?
From rainbow clouds there flow not
Drops so bright to see,
As from thy presence showers a rain
Of melody.
Like 4 poet hidden
In the light of thought,
Singing hymns unhidden,
Till the world is wrought

Sound of yernal showers,
On the twtullling grass,
Raiu-awakened dowers-
All that ever was
Joyous and clear and fresh thy music

Teach us, spirit or bird,
What sweet thoughts are thine;
have never heard
Praise of love or wine
That panted forth flood Of rapture
SO divine,
Chorus hymenoal,
Or triumphant chant
Matched with thine would be all
But an empty vault
A thing wherein we feel there is some

Things more true and deep

A Doctor,a Letter

A well known NJ. z. tells an amusing
story of an old aunt Of his. Being on
one occasion very nervous. she told
her physician she thought Bath would
do her good.
Its very odd" said DR.. W., "but
that's the very thing that l was going
to recommend to you. l will write the
particulars of your case to a very clev-
er man there, in whose hands you will
be well taken care Of"
The lady, furnished with the letter,
set off. On arriving at Bath, feeling, as
usual, very nervous, she said to a con-
fidant:
Long as DIR. Walter has attended
me he has never explained to me what
ails me. / have a great mind to open
his letter and see what he has stated
of my case to the Bath physician"
In vain her friend represented to heI
the breach Of confidence this would be-
She opened the letter and read:
Dear Davis-Keep the old lady three weeks ant
