Then in the days that followed the
old man strove with new energy to fill
the extra mouths. He fished and dug
clans and peddled them. He gathered

and sold them, and did any odd jobs

The pure salt air revived the woman;
she gained strength and courage, ana
went about trying to do little things
in her housewifely way for the old

cred flowers on the knoll, and romped
and splashed in the surf, and laughed
and grew; and the old man laughed,
too, in his somber way.
The summer waned and there came
day when the old man went not
away to work. He fingered about the
hut, or climbed the knoll along the
winding beach; then silently retraced
his steps and sat within the hut, while
the wife and little one hung about the
knoll, and often she, too, would pause
and look along the stretch Of sand.
Anon he came, and she turned away
her face and called the child, who an.
swered laughing, and returned with
spoils cleaned from the heather. Then
they laughed, and the woman told him
of the many pranks and witty sayings
Of the child, while she studied the
lights and shades that fled across his
face. BY and by the child tugged the
mothers hand:
'Tum! tell dampa papa tum," and
urged again, until at last they turned
and descended to the hut.
They found him laid upon the rude
affair that had served him years fol

upon his breast and a sanity looh
upon his face; and "dampa" would

The Poet.

John Trotwood Moore, the author of
Songs and Stories from Tennessee"
taught country school near Column
bia, Tenn, his present home, before he
became known as litterateur. Even
then he was contributing verses to the
local papers, SO it Is easy to imagine
his amusement when one day a pupil
in the Latin class translated the SEN
tence, "Poeta nascitar, non fit" as fol-
lows "a poet is not fit to live."-New
York Times.

Atmosphere of the Planets.

The atmosphere of world depends
on its gravitation. Gases tend to diff
fuse into space, unless retained by
adequate attraction. Our earth can
hardly retain so light and mobile
gas as hydrogen; Mars may have diff
flculty in retaining the less mobile
vapor OF water; but the gravitation Of
the moon Is too slight to retain any
known gas, hence she has no atmos-
phere or water. Yet this is not suffi-
cient reason for assuming the absence
of life.

Winter Birds.

I watch them from the window,
While winds so keenly blow;
How merrily they twitter
And revel in the snow!
In brown and ruffled feathers
They dot the white around,
And not one moping comrade
Among the lot I've found.
All. may l be as cheerful
AS yonder winter birds.
Through ills and petty crosses
With no repining words.
So, teaching me this lesson,
Away, away they go.
And leave their tiny footprints
In stars upon the snow.
