How rich the hawthorn's blossom.

For dear to me as light and life

Oh. pale. pale now those rosy lips

And closed for aye the sparkling glance
That dwalt on sac kindly,
And moldering now in silent dust
That heart that ioed me dearly.
But still within my bosom's core
Shall live my Highland Mary!

Though grim the conquest and the labor

Forever courage kindles, faith moves

TO find the mystic foodway of the north.

But 1t was plain they were enemies,
For a shot from each doomed on the

While the sun on high was shining.
They roared and charged and backed and
swerved
Each gave the other what he deserved,
And the sun on high was shining.
They shelled each other an hour or so.
And then they suddenly Went below!
Yet the sun on high was shining
And no one knew which ship had won!
And neither knew where the other had

But the sun ON high was shining.

To Prevent Riding Up of Skirt.

A common complaint is that skirts
will ride up in the front. Women that
have prominent abdomens have more
trouble than others. There are two
remedies for his-ether to wear some
of the many contrivances which are
sold for this purpose or to make tab
of lining material about four and a
half inches wide and five inches long.
This must be shaped out to fit the
center of the skirt in front and caught
with the seam when the facing is sew
ed on at the waist line. Finish the
edge of it by pinking.

A S fond mother, when the day is

"a Leads by the hand her little
child to bed.
Half willing. half reluctant to be
led,
And leave his broken playthings on the

Still gazing at them through the open

BY promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not

So Nature deals with us. and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the

Leads us to rest so gently that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the
