LIFE EVERYWHERE.

we look or whether we
listen,
hear life murmur or see 1t glisten'
Every clod feels a stir OF might,
An instinct within it that reaches
and towers,
And, cropping blindly above it TOR
Climbs to a soul in grass and
flowers.
The flush of life may we'll be seen
Thrilling back over hills and val
leys.
The cowslip startles in meadows
green,
The buttercup catches the sun in
its chalice,
And there's never a leaf or a blade
too mean
To be SOM happy creatures palace,
The little bird sits at his door in the
sun,
Atilt like a blossom among the
leaves,
And lets his illumined being o%'errun
With the deluge of summer II re-
ceives.
His mate feels the eggs beneath her
wings,
And the heart in her dumb breast
lutters and sings.
He sings TO the wide world, and
she rs her nest.
In the nice ear of nature, which song
is the best!

THAT is ALL replied the archbishop.
Ia New York the following day the
archbishop sent for the boy and told
him how the president Of tho United
States had offered to send him to West
Point
But" said the boy. II don't want
tO 80 Go West Point I want Co 60 60
Annapolis want Go go in the navy"
THE archbishop was chagrincd. lie
had misunderstood what the boys

mendiug 10 now. Tho president has
appointed YOU 10 West Point, and 10
West Point you must CO.
But the boy had no ambition except
FOR the navy, and nothing the arch-
bishop could say could change him.
Finally the archbishop told him 10 go
home and If he did not change his
mind over night and DECIDE 10 go TO
West Point the archbishop would write
90 the president and tell him the APP
pointment could not be accepted.
That night the boy slept very little
aud the following day went to the
archbishop and told him he desired
nothing on earth so much as 10 go to
Annapolis.
The archbishop could not see why a
boy should be so obstinate.

the president 10 change the appoint
ment but III you want TO go TO Wash

you "a letter 60 him.

The archbishop wrote letter and as
the lad was leaving the archbishop
said 10 him: MY boy. doubt whether
you can see Mr.. Lincoln. Every min
ute OF his time is taken up with great
affairs and he is surrounded by so
many persons that IL Is difficult TO get
an audience But there Is one man
there who will get you TO him n any
