Sore Points,
The pencil heaved a weary sigh,
And murmured to the pen,
81 haven't felt so out of sorts
Since-oh, l don't know when.
"The penknife treats me very i'll,
1t cuts me in the street,
And really is extremely sharp
Whene'er we chance to meet.
And when l broke the other day
Beneath its bitter stroke,
1t said it didn't see the point
Neither did the joke!
with many troubles I'm depressed
My heart just feels like lead"
The pen mopped up an inky tear
Il weep for YOU" it said.
-Casse,ls Little Folks.

there, and I am afraid the dogs will
eat it if it is left outside" After the
two had smoked together for some

manner, the visitor was induced to
tell his story.
Did you bring the body far ?"
asked Pierre.
'Six days up the st. Marguerite,
eight days i'll all from here"
'How did he die?"
The other looked at the fire and for
some time said nothing. It was evil
dent that he had very sorrowful tale
to tell or he would have spoken at
once. After long pause he said :
He is my cousin. / am taking him
to be buried at the post. He asked
me. promised him. 1t is a long
journey in winter but he wished it,
and he will soon be there"
Then he told how it happened. "He
and I, " he said, pointing to the body,
but mentioning no names, "were
hunting together, when we came upon
the track OF loup cervier, or Canada
lynx, and followed it. My cousin was
first and he turned round and said to
me, TIL go round that mountain if
you go up the valley with the dogs
and we are sure TO get him. We sep
arated. In an hour heard q gun, and
then sat down aud waited long. As
night was coming on [ thought [ would

No answer. I fired again. No an
