The Rest Guide to Reading.

OF all the gifts an older brother or
sister can confer upon younger child
none can compare with the taste for
good reading. 1t is an easy matter for
the elder to bring the right book to the
little reader at the right time, and no
lasting benefit can be given with so
little effort. See that you are able to
act us a wise guide when the little
brothers or sisters hand is put so con-
fidingly in yours.-St. Nicholas.

this time the Sirdar was fighting reso-
lutely against a stiff gale But the
stress of actual combat was better than
the eerie sensation Of impending dan
ger during the earlier hours. The
strong, hearty pulsations Of the en-
g1nes, the regular thrashing Of the
screw, the steadfast onward plunging
Of the good ship through racing seas
and flying scud, were CHEEKY, confident
and inspiring.
Miss Deane justified her boast that
she was an excellent sailor. She
smiled delightedly at the ships sur

"No. You come good second on the

In very truth she was thinking of the
ice carrying steward and his queer
start of surprise at the announcement
Of her rumored engagement. The man
interested her. He looked like broken
down gentleman Her quick eyes tray-
eled around the saloon to discover his
whereabouts. She could not see him.
The chief steward stood near. balanc-
ing himself in apparent defiance OF the
laws of gravitation, for the ship was
now pitching and rolling with mad
zeal For an instant she meant to in
Guire what had become of the trans
gressor. but she dismissed the thought
at its inception. The matter was too
trivial.

Iris could not help noting his strange

away her first angry resentment at

His feeble nerves at last conveyed the
information that something more pro-

The incident amused those passen-

But the chief steward, lowering watch

THE WOODS OF PEACE.

NJ. d. RoutIedge, in the Academy.
Sing to me, Beloved, more of the sadness
and sorrows of men,
But a song of shining summer days and the
joy of lifei
Long the days of June, and full of sunshine;
Sweet are the roses with hearts of gold,
Yet their petals fall swift as the CLEAN
OF the white butterflies in the clover
Sing to me then of quiVering sunshine
And the FURNISHED gold of the fields
OF scarlet poppies a-dance in the wind,
And the lark lost in the brilliant blue
Sing Of the great woods and cool shade
The green lairs under the bracken where deer
lie hid,
OF the world Of leaves where the birds dream
on in the silence of noon.
Sing the gladeS deW-Silvered under the moon
OF shadows under the mighty trees dark as
purple pansy,
And silence brooding close like a soft-winged
Bird
For there lies the pool of dreams, and there is
the well of peace.
Sing to me. my Beloved, till your singing throbs
Like the heart of nightingale who sings in
the dusk,
And will follow you over the rocky places,
Through the sharp thorns and the darkness,
Till in all the world is only your voice.
And in the great woods and places of Dreams
peace, peace, peace!
