The Old Log Church.
On oiden walls, in memory’s halls,
With roses "round it clinging;
A picture rare, of antique alr,
The old log church is swinging.
Of timbers rough, and gnarled and tough,
1t stands in rustic beauty;
A monument to good intent
And loyal, Christian duty.
The forest trees, kissed by the breeze
Of early autumn weather,
Stand grimly by, and seem to sigh
And bend their boughs together.
They seem to feel that woodman's steel
Will come to end their glory,
And whisper low, and soft and slow,
Among their leaves, the story.
Iown by the mill, and up the hill,
And through the hazel thicket,
And o'er the mead, brown pathways lead
Upto the rustic wicket.
And by these ways, on holy days,
The village folks collected,
And humbly heard the Bacred Word
And worshipped unaffected.
Sweet Fancy’s art, and poet's heart
Gan see the old-time preacher
And village sage, now turn the page,
Asminister. or teacher,
For in the church, with dreaded birch,
On week days he presided,
In awfal mien, a tutor seen,
“Pwixt lore and licks divided.
But where it stood in dappled wood
A city sprung to life,
And jolly noise of barefoot boys
Is lost in business’ strife,
With years

Are launched on life's mad billows,
The pretty maid is matron staid,
The master’s "neath the willows.

“Of what pray? Put it in plain Eng-

“You know perfectly well what

yourself. You have no right to trifle
with such men as Alan Douglas and
Major Valeour.”
“My dear Nora, 3 are,

“1 do not deny that 1 have had var:-

“You had better not have either if

bluntly.
“Now you are going back to what

“I wish you would have done with

“Nothing was farther from my

that Nora said, in quite a different
tone:

It was a clear, breezy day, but not
too cold for pleasure, and the ice boats
~those swift winged sleighs so common
on the Canadian rivers in Winler--were
skimming over the frozzen surface of
the water like beautiful white gulls.
To see those dainty little vessels,
mounted on runners, cutting along
over the ice gt a rate of G0 miles an
hour, thrilledvStella’s venturesome soul
with envy.
“Oh, 1 would give anything in the
world for a ride on one of those boats,”’
she cried with girlish extravagance, and
her sparkling eyes followed the graceful
movements of the trim little ice fleet.
“Have you never ridden in one?”
Eugene Valcour asked in surprise.
“No; but I have always wanted to, I
should think it would be perfectly de-
Lightful.”
“It is,”” Vealecour answered. We have

Stella watched it for awhile, and then
lay back in the stern of the Victorine
