Going Home.

! tread each mountain waste austere,
I pass dark pinelands, hill by hill;
Each tardy sunrise brings me near,
Each lonely sunset nearer still.
Sing low, my heart, of other lands
And suns we may have loved. OF
known;
This silent North, it understands,
And asks but little of its own
So where the homeland twilight broods
Above the slopes of dusky pine,
Teach me your silence, soltudes;
Your retcence, gay hills. be mine!
Whether all loneliness it lies,
Or but a lone waste SCARED and torn,
How shall | know? For meath these
skies
And in these valleys l was born!

TRAGEDY UNDER THE SEA.
met Strangely Came I'm
fastened.

An accident which is described as
without precedent in the history of
diving operations has been the sub
iect of magisterial inquiry at Simons-
town, says a Cape Town correspond
ence of the London Chronicle. Two
divers, Kraming and Macphail were
at work at some levels on the new
dock yard works at Simonstown. They
were working at a depth of about so
feet, and, though they did not go down
together, they met under water, and
were, it appeared from the evidence,
discussing by means of signs the posi-
ton in regard to the levels on which
they were working.
According to the statement of the
survivor, Macphail, he saw his COM
panion's helmet suddenly fly off. In
this desperate position the drowning
man chung to Macphail, who gave the
signal to the boat overhead to haul in,
and the two men were drawn up to
within ten feet of the surface. At this
point the hauling ceased, the men in
the boat being unable to raise the
heavy weight further, and Macphail
was compelled to loose his hold Of
his drowning comrade, who sank to
the bottom. The other man reached
the boat, and Immediately went down
again, but Kraming was lying face
downward on the bottom, and was
dead when they finally got him to the
surface.
Nc explanation was forthcoming of
how it was possible for the mans he'll
met to come unfastened. 1t was stated
to have been adjusted properly when
be entered the water, and the two
divers were said to have been on per-
tectly good terms, no question as to
the possibility of foul play being
raised. The verdict was simply that
the man was drowned, but the magis-
tratc confessed that the manner in
which the helmet came unfastened re-
NAMED mystery.

CITY Children.


Pale flowers you that scarce have
known the SUM
Your little faces like sad blossoms seem
Shut in some room, there helplessly to
dream
of distant glens where through glad
rivers run,
And winds at evening whisper. Daylight
done.
You miss the tranquil moons unfettered
beam,
The wide, unsheltered earth, the star
light CLEAN,
All the old beauty meant for every one.
The clamor of the city streets you hear,
Not the rich silence of the April glade
The sun-swept spaces which the good
God made
You do not know; white mornings keen
and clear
Are not your portion through the golden
year,
Q little flowers that blossom but to
fade!

Magazine.

National Monuments.

Count not the cost of honor to the dead
The tribute that a mighty nation pays
To those who loved her well in former
days
Means more than gratitude for glories
fed;
For every noble man that she hath bred
1mmortalized by arts immortal praise,
Lives in the bronze and marble that we
raise,
To lead our sons as he our fathers led.
These monuments of manhood brave and
high,
Do more than forts or battleshps to
keep
Our dear-bought liberty. They fortify
The heart of youth with valor wise and
deep;
They build eternal bulwarks, and com
Eternal strength to guard our native
land
