MY WOODLAND PATH.

How well know my woodland patns
IT'S greetings and its aftermath,
IT'S windings and its cistas dim,
That stretch beyond the forests f"'
TIA fragrance in the wild rose time.
Its mingled scent Of fern and thyme
THAT rise like incense where tread.
At purple dawn or sunset req
I know its leafy coverts where
The brown thrush and the cat-pirds ar,
And where in spring with JOY are nea'o
The first notes of the knocking piru,
And all the blithe bards of the wooo'
In roundle rune and interiuoe.
I know where emerald MOSES edge
It's rtbboned course through briar anu
sedge:
Where partridge berries shine between
The clustered leaves of the wintersreeh'
And where the morning sun pSeaAs
through
The cedar boughs to drink the dew
And there at noon on languid wing.
The wanton breeze goes wandering.
I know its cradle hollows deep,
Where winter long the violets sleep,
Ouiescent till the gales of spring
BLOW off their leafy covering.
/ know its restful shady spots.
It's turnings where it runs cross lou,
And skirts the meadows grassy edge,
Meath fringe of wild flowers in the
hedge.
On well | know its time-worn mark,
NV feet will trace 1t in the dark;
And. from its source to where 1t ends,
I love 1t as / love my friends.

A Bridge of Col m M.

Engineers, as most of us know. are
famous for their ready resources in
emergencies. During the recent Chi
nese war it was necessary to get n
number of troops across a river in a
great hurry, to prevent the enemy
taking an important position. There
was no bridge and there were no
boats. An engineer took detach-
ment to tllage near by. raided it
and came back with a number of
coolies, each carrying one of these
large painted eoffins which every
Chinaman keeps in his house. With
these as pontoons, bridge was i'm

SHATTERED DIGNITY.
Little Farce which Occurred in q
Brooklyn Church That Upset
the Staid Congregation.

The crude humor that makes q
small boy want to throw stone at a
silk hat on man bristling with dig
nifty is not TO be disposed of as mere
ill-conceived prank of youth. There
IS deep in most people spring of I'M
subduable humor that leaps gleefully
when conscious dignity gets a fair
tumble. That IS why, for all the
solemnity of the place, the soberest
charity and the best-bred propriety
in the world could not prevent tit
ter at little farce that happened
once in church in Brooklyn, relates
the Youths Companion.
A gentleman and his wife, who were
offended at something the preacher
said, gravely rose and stalked toward
the door, with their heads held high
in assertive disdain. The wife fol-
lowed the husband.
Unfortunately. when they were
halfway down the aisle, the husband
dropped his glove and stopped to pick
it up. Fate, the humorist, determined
that the wife should keep her head so
high that she did not see her husband
stoop. She went sailing on and
doubled over him in riotous confls-
ion.
The congregation held its breath
and kept it's composure. The two re-
covered themselves and went on
Hoping to escape quickly, they turned
to what looked like side door. The
husband pulled it open with an inn
pressive swing. Before he could close
it, out tumbled the window-pole. q

longer, and man and wife fed to tbs
