Up this world, sad down this world, And over this world, and through, Though drifted about, And tossed without, Why, "paddle your own canoe." What though the.sky is heavy with clouds, Or shining a field of blue, If the bleak wind blows, Or the sunshine glows, Still, " paddle your own canoe." What if breakers rise up ahead, With dark waves rushing through, More steadily try, With steadfast eye, To "paddle your own canoe." If a hurricane rise in the midnight skies, And the stars are lost to view, Guide safely along, With smile and song, And "paddle your own canoe." Up this world, and down this world, Over this world, and through, Though weary and worn, Bereft, forlorn, Still "paddle your own canoe." Never give up when trials come— Never grow sad and blue; Never sit down With a tear or frown, But " paddle your own canoe." There are daisies springing along the shores, Blooming and sweet for you; There are rose-hued dyes In the autumn skies— Then "paddle your own canoe." Pioallancous. THE SILVER TOKEN. " There, Tina!" Mr. Bruce Medway triumphantly held up two semi-circles of silver in the air, so that they might be sure to make sufficient impression on Ernestine Cady's blue eyes, and smiled with the exultant satisfaction one who feels that he has accomplished his mission! He was a bright; earnest-looking young fellow, with gray-brown eyes and asquare firm mouth not handsome, but very manly; and as he sat there on the green wood land bank, with the hair thrown back from his broad forehead, and the sun shine mirrored in his eyes, you felt instinc tively that he was one who would make his way in the world, no matter what obsta cles might intervene. Ernestine Cady stood leaning against the guarded, mossy trunk of an immense chestnut-tree with her little feet buried in ,plumes of nodding, fragrant ferns—rural picture in blue muslin and fluttering azure ribbons. She was very pretty, with the delicate bloom and freshness of a flower— a flower that winds and frosts have never touched. " Didn't I tell you I should do it, Tina?" Ernestine took up the little file that lay on the bank. "I thought it an impossible task with such an implement as that!" "Nothing is impossible," returned Bruce, sententiously, as he passed a bit of narrow blue ribbon through a hole in the broken piece of silver. "Will you let me tie it round your neck, Tina?" "What for?" But she stooped her 'pretty head as she spoke, and let him tic the knot beneath, a cataract of pale gold curls. `• And I shall wear the other next to my heart. They are amulets. Tina--charms, if you choose so tophrase IV That silver piece carries my allegiance with it. Tina, if ever any cloud come between us—if ever we are separated---7 , " lirncell, . “Such things hare happened, dearest; but,nevertheless, in anyevent, this broken coin shall be'a token and 'a summons to me, wherever, I may be—whatever Fate may have in store. Don't look so grave, my little blue-bird. Is it so very wrong to mingle a bit of romance in our every-day life? Where are your flowers? It is time we were returning.” Through the green shifting shadows of the woods, with bloodred streams of sun set light rippling along at their feat, and delicious odors of moss and fern • and hid den flowers rising up dround, the two lovers walked homeward. Bruce Medway never forgot:the brightness of 'that drowsy August afternoon. * * * * * * * "She will come---I am sure she will comet" The dew lay like ,crain dianionds on grass and shrnbs, aa Brace walked UP aud down die little pathway by. die hidden spring, watching the mound red shield of th o rising annhangit4.above the . eastern horizon. And then he k*ked at. his Witch. " The train Win .be due in gine Surely, Tina will not let' um leave her withoat one rpconciling wort] l /lush! that must be. her footstep on the mesa." lie stepped forward, with aglad, flush ed fate , and then the chill whiteness of despair blanched every feature, as the bright-eyed little squirrel, whose tiny tread over leaves and acorn-cups had de ceived him, glided swiftly across the belt of sunshine into emerald shadow. Bruce Medway stood an instant with his brow centracted and his arms foded on his breast.: WIN he bidding farewell to the suminer that was past? And the shriek of the coming tra insound ed through• the blue purity of the air, anti the last, littlelaint sparkle of hope in the lover's breast died out. Tina had not come—Tina had forgotten him. Well, so-let it bet • And what was Tina Cady doing in the fresh morning brightney? She Was very rosy and 'reedy in her trim calico dress, with pink ribbons at her throat, and a pink verbena hanging low in her golden coils of hair—very pic turesque as she reached up her hand to break off a spray of spicy honey-suckle. "I wonder if Mr. Bruce Medway_ has come to his senses yet," thought Tina, with a toss of her head. " I shan't meas ure my nations by the rule and plummet of his lordly will, I can assure him. If I want to flirt with Pierce Marbury I shall do it!" "So you're up, eh, Tina? And as fresh as a rose, I declare!" Tina put her red lips up to kiss herbluff old father in an abstracted sort of way. She hardly saw him as he stood there. " Oh, by the way / Tinaj.forgot to give you this note last night—it was left by the hotel porter. Really, I believe my memory isn't quite as good as it was. '' Tina caught the note from her father's hand, and broke it open in feverish haste. " The train leaves at seven?" She saw the words as vividly as if they had been written in characters of jagged tire, and as she read them the old clock half-way up the wide, old fashioned staircase struck eight. It was too late—too late! The sharp thrill of agony at her heart was succeeded by a passionate feeling of resentment. " Let him go!" she said to herself, while the red pennons fluttered on her cheek. " I would not lift a finger to keep him here!" So, when Bruce Medway's earnest ap pealing letter came a day or two afterward Ernestine folded it quietly within a blank envelope, without breaking the seal, and and sent it back. Verily women are strange enigmas, even to themselves! Ernestine herself could scarcely have told why she kept the broken silver coin—but she kept it. The short threatening October day was drawing to a close; the fiery belt across the western sky was flamin e ,o. sullenly athwart the skeleton woods, and shedding a sort of aureole round Ernestine Cady's slender figure as she hurried on through the yellow, rustling drifts of fallen leaves, carrying the heavy bitsket on her arm. Just as pretty as the rosy Tiny of two years since, but paler, graver, and more sedate. Trouble had besieged the family since their migration to the grand do mains of the Far West. Tina had learn ed the serious part of life's lesson, and she had learned it well. She lifted the latched of the rudely con structed log-house and entered, with assumed cheerfulness on her face. "How are you now, father?" "Better,. I think. Come to the fire, Tina—you must be cold!" "Not a bit. lies mother come back?" "No; it's very strange she stays so long. I suppose Mrs. Ebbctts has a great deal to say, though. I don't wonder your mother is glad to get away from a.aiek room for awhile." He spoke a little bitterly, and Tiny winced as she listened, knowing that her mother had made an excuse of some neighborly errand to dispose in the near est village of such poor little odds and ends of gold chains, pins and rings as yet remained to their diminished estate. Was there anything wren" in this pious fraud? Tina almost felt as if there was! It was not pleasant to be poor! "She will be home soon, father," said Tina. "Only see what a basketful of cranberries I have gathered out in the swamps! This will make the barrelful. and Mr. Signet has promised to send it to New York with hie. Don't they look like red jewels, father? And the money will buy you anew coat." Ile smiled faintly. "I think it had better buy my little girl a new dress. Shall I help you to pick them over?" " I had.rather do it myself, father, and you must try to sleep awhile." Half an hour later Tina came through the room with a scarlet shawl thrown over her head,*andit wistful, sacred look iu her eyes. "You are not going out again, my child?" " Only up to the cranberry swamp, father, it isn't dark yet; I—l have lost something;" " A ribbon or a collar, I supposes" said Mr. Cady to himself, as he lay watching the crimson glare of the October sunset; while Tina, putting aside low tangled bushes, and searching bits ofrank,swampy grass, was repeating to herself, in quick nervous words: "How could I lose it? Oh, how could I be so careleie!" But the search was all in vain; and the chill twilight sent her home dispirited and unsuccessful. And Ernestine Cady cried herself to sleep that night, just because she had lost the broken silver coin. * * * * * * * " You'll be, sure - to come, Mr. Medway? I want to introduce the successful, author to my friends. You are to be my lion. You will come?" " Yes, I will come if you wish it!" Bruce Medway went dreamily on his way, and Mrs. Lyman whispered to one of her fashionable friends that ",she was quite sure Mr. Medway had been crossed in love—he was sodeliciously melancholy." The table was superbly spread—Mrs. Lyman's diallers were always co/awe i/ fact—and, through the sparkle of cut glass, and translucent glow of painted china, you saw baskets and epergnes and pyramidal boquets of magnificent hot house flowers. As one of the Beau Brum mels of the day bad said, "It was like looking at a beautiful picture to dine with Mrs. Lyman." The dessert was in its first stages, when the pretty hostess leaned coaxingly across to Mr. Medway. • "Do try some of these little cranberry pates, Mr. Medway; I have just received a barrel of the most delightful cranberries from my dear old Uncle Signet, in lowa." Bruce was idly striking his fork intothe little crimson circlets, quite unconscious of what he was eating. "Yes, they are very nice," he said me chanically. And then he bent down to see what bit of extraneous white element was glimmering through the ruby trans lucency. Only a broken silver coin. lie took it out and looked at it, the familiar date and die, all unconcious of the buzz of voices and ring of idle laughter all around him—looked at it with a vague superstitious thrill stealing all over his nature—and he could almost hear his pulses beat under the soft pressure of the otheigkall of this silver piece, for he still wore it nexb his heart. "From lowa, did you say, Mrs. Lyman?" " From my uncle, Squire Signet, who lives in the Far West." " What part of lowa is it that—that produces such a harvest of cranberries?" Datersville, I believe, near the Owasca river." And then the conversation branch ed off into some different channel. Bruce Medway had found out all that he wished to ascertain on that one occasion. "A token and a summons to him, wherever he might be!" Bruce remem bered the words he had spoken two years ago, and his loyal heart gave a great leap as the memory _flooded it with warmth and brightness.** "Cranberries?—yes—l remember 'em," said old Squire Signet, biting the end of his cedar pencil. "Crop was uncommon good this fall; old Cady 's daughter brought them here to sell by the peck.", To sell Bruce began for the first time to appreciate the tides trouble that eddied of round the serene little islet of Ernestine's heart. " Where do they live - family, I mean?" " See that ar' old blasted pine down in the holler? Well, just beyond there a road leads down past Cady's. Won't stop a little longrrl Well, good e ven in', Squire." And Bruce Medway walked down through the orange twilight to where the skeleton arm of the blasted pine seemed to point to the light in a far-off window-- walked to meet the dearest treasure of his heart! Through the uneurtained panes he could see the tiuy room all bright and ruddy with cheery fire-light; the slender drooping figure sitting alone on the hearthstone with its golden shine of • hair and the thoughtful bend of its neck. And he opened the door softly and wen in. "Tina'," She put back her hair with both hands, and looked at him as if she fancied herself under the delusion of some spell. "You summoned me, and I have come. Tina, my love, shall the old times return to us once more? Shall we be all the world to each other once again?" It was full nine o'clock by the silver studded time-piece of the stars before Bruce Medway rose to take his departure. "But tell me one thing, Bruce," said Ernestine, laying her hand lightly on his, as they stood protracting their lover-like adieux on the door-stone in the frigid moonlight, " what did you mean when you said I had summoned you?" He drew a little box from his breast pocket, and smilingly held up a bit of silver. "And I wear its mate close to my heart, Tina:" "Bruce--surely that is not my half of the coin?" "It was .your half, Tina." "And where did you find it!" "One of these days I will tell you, dear —not in a very romantic juxtaposition, however. You remember what I said to you when we divided the silver piece be tween us!" As if Tina had forgotten one word or syllable of those old days. *•** * * * * The Iron hand of time had swept away all those tokens of lang syne now. Mr. Medway is a middle-aged, bald-headed member of society, and Mrs. Medway has white hairs mixed with the golden bright ness of her braids; but she keeps the worn bit of silver and its sweet associations still, Ansi believes most firmly in true-love and romance. • gather Itbralutin'o JOUN C.
