OLD FORT BLUNDER.

Everybody may not know that the United States

Champlain, just northeast of Rouse's Point, N Y.

guard the entrance to the lake. and it planned
to build what then considered great fort
carrying three tiers of guns. After the work was
well under way It discovered that, owing to
error of early surveyors. the forty-fth parallel
then the actual boundary between Canada and
New-York, passed just south of the fort. Work. of
course was suspended. until in 1912 the territory
was restored to the United States The fort
dubbed Fort Blunder," and though il fin
ished after the boundary question was settled by
the Webster-Ashburton Treaty, it has never been
manned by than enough to keep 1t in order.

THE FIsHERmAN'S CHILD.

The twilight is sad and cloudy,
The wind blows wild and free:
And like the wings of seabirds,
Flash the white caps of the sea-
But in the f1sherman's cottage
There shines a ruddier light.
And little face at the window
Peers out into the night.

Close close It is pressed to the window.
AS If those childish eyes
Were looking into the darkness
To see some form arise.
And a woman's waving shadow
Is passing TO and fro,
Now rising to the ceiling,
Now bowling and bending low.
What tale do the roaring ocean
And the night wind, bleak and wild.
AS they beat at the crazy easement,
Tell to that little child?
And why do the roaring ocean
And the night wind. wild and bleak,
AS they beat at the heart of the mother,
Drive the color from her cheekc

If there is a boy in school who has a clubfoot
don't let him know you ever saw it.
If there is poor boy with ragged clothes don't
talk about rags in his hearing.
If there is lame boy, assign him some part in

If there is a hungry one, give him part OF your

IF there is dun one, help him learn his lesson.
If there is a bright one, be not enviOUS OF him:
