For haste makes waste, we know
But use a fair degree of force—
Go slow, but not too slow,

To sort and sift them so;

Go slow, but not too slow.

Go slow, but not too slow.

That bade the rascals go,

ON THE ROCKS AT CAPE ANN.
Kate and I went there to spend the
summer, Is there really such a thing
as fate or destiny or luck? Or wasit
simply blind chavce that carried us to
that little out of the way spot, where
ene of us at least was to find such un-
foreseen experiences, We knew of no
special attractions there other than pure
sea air and a comfortable lodging place,
but we tired of Saratoga, Cape May and
She Catskills, *‘Let usgotoan unfash-
jonable place,” said Kate. ‘‘Let us
find a place,’ quoth I, **where we can

two rooms in Miss Lane's boarding
bouse at Annisquam, a qualnt, queer,
primitive, crooked little village, which
makes one of the rocky knobs along the
edge of Cape Ann,

be,” 1 cannot even now say much, for
us to go by sea to Boston.

Making a hasty toilet, and casting,

to the various points of interest along |
the coast, and dreaming aw ay th
lovely moonlight evenings on our belov-

“Jack Adams,” as everybody called
him was a universal favorite, it seemed,
and a welcome guest in every house,
but by degrees he gave up nearly all
other society for ours, and it came to
be an accepted thing for us three to be
always together. Icannot describe the
great charm there was about him, We
used to say, **he is so jolly,” and so he
was, full of good nutureand merriment,
and wonderful conversational powers
and a quick wit, but underneath the
gay exterior lay a depth of feeling and
habit of sober thought not discernible
to general observation, He seldom
referred to his home life or occupation,
and for some reason or other, we never
cared to inquire into either, until with-
in a short time of our departure from
Annisquam, We were content to have
made so pleasant a friendship and it
never crossed my mind that we could
be anything but friends. I sincerely
liked and admired him and believed
that was all.
“Don’t you think,” said Kate one
evening as she sat in my room for a
| little chat, before we said good might,
that Jack Adams will be sorry when
the time comes for us all to leave Cape
Ann and go back to our work at
home?”
“Yes, I suppose he will,” I answered
dreamily, not understanding a strange,
sad feeling that shot through my heart,
as she spoke; *‘but Kate, I wonder what
his work is at home? He knows well

So instead of my saying anything I gig-

proved a kind of clearing up shower,
and then we went to the subject more
comfortably.

And so I ran on, Kate listening with
as grave a face as she could assume.
At last I finished up with: “Perhaps it

“Just as you say,” replied Kate, try-

It 18 very disagreeable to be obliged
