Wlicrc the roe'ts are gray and the shore is steep And the waters below look dark and deep ' Where the nursed pine, in Its lrnety pride', Lenns gloomily over the murky tide ' Where the rcuds and rushes afe.lousr and rank And the weeds irrow thick on tlie windiu" b itik t Where t he shadow is heavy the whole day throii"h Lies at its moorings the old canoe. ' The ttselcss paddles urc Idly drojipcd, Llko a sea-bird's wings that the sform has lopped And crossed on the railinir one o'er one, ' Like the folded bunds win w the work Is done While busily (etck and forth between, ' The spider stretches his silvery acrcou And the solemn owl with his dull "too-hoo " Settles down on the side of the old canoe. ' The stcru half sunk in the slimniy wave, Rots slowly nwuv in its living giave. And the green moss creeps o er its dull decay Hiding Its nioldci'ing dust awav, ' Like the baud that plants o'er the tomb a flower Or the Ivy that mantles the falling tower ' While many a blossom ol lovllest hue Springs up o'er the stern of tho old canoo. The currentlesR waters arc dead and still But the light wind plays with the boat ut will And lazily In and out again ' It limits the length of the rusty chain. Like the weary march of the hands of time, That meet and part at the noontide chime, And the shore is kissed nt each turning nnew By the dripping bow of tho old canoe. O, many n time with a careless hand, I have pushed it away from tke pebbly strand, Aud puddled it down wherp the streams ruus quick, Where the whirls arc wild and l:e eddies thick, And luughcd as I leaned o'er the rocking sidu, Aud looked below the broken tide, To sec I Iml tho faces and boats were two, Thut were mirrored back from the old canoe. But now us I lean o'er the crumbling side, A nd look below in the sluggUh tide, The fuce thut I see there is irraver grown, And the lautrh that I hear has a soberer tone And the huiiils that lent to the light skiir wings Have grown familiar with sterner things. But I love to think of the hours that Hew As I rocked where the whirls their white spray threw, Ere the blossoms waved or the. green grass grew O'er the mouldering stem of the old cauoe. WHERE THERE'S A Wil l,. "And so he is coming to-night. Clara ?" Lyman Palmt:r asked, standing just at sunset, in the norcli ofMf. Town ov's fmr. broad fronted residence in L . Clara Townley stood beside him, and a very fearful look stole into her deep blue lus trous eye ac she answered the question. "Yes Lyman. Papa received his note this moniitig, saving that lie would surely be here in the eight o'clock train." "Your father ia as determined as ever I, suppose, about this alliiir of of the mar riage V" Lyman i'ahm r's look was averted of tho other. They were delicate, enough, both iu shape aud hue, those hands of Lj'in:in l'nlnier's to have belong lo a woman ; his face, also, devoid of lyard or mouslach, anil glowing With the fullness of healthful beauty, cut rely lacked, (he was only twenty-two) the clemeut of inaniless It was a face that Lyman Palmer's enemies had he really possessed any would have been very likely to call insipid and girlish. Hut they could not truthfully have said the same of the man himself, lie was every inch what his youthful appearance failed to show a highbred, honorable, coura geous gentleman. "Determined !" Clara Townley ex-claimed in auawcr to her lover's last remark : "Why, papa is so bent upon my lx'eomiug Mrs. Livermore that he would die of rage, I think, were my resolution known to him." "And that resolution is, Clara " "To civc Mr. Livermore plainly to un derstand that the times we live in are not those which tolerate the atlianeing of two children in their cradles, merely because, their parents happens to be friends. Aud then this creature, Hichard Liver more is a perfect tiend of homeliness, if you will pardon my intense style of rhetoric, Lyman. The photograph which ho sent me, through papa, is just about the most frightful thing 1 ever beheld. He has passed his wholr life, you know, in some obscure place out West all places out West are obscure, in my opinion and, to all ap pearand s, lie has the manners of a regular clod. He actually had the impudence to apeak of mo, in his last letter to papa, 113 the 'sweet Clara whom he longed so pas sionately to behold,' and whom he fondly believed to bo 'a picture of womanly grace and loveliness. I've never told yoti Ibis lxd'ore, Lyman, for fear of makiug you ungovernably angry at your unseen rival." "We ought not to lie culled rivals," Ly man Palmer answered, in a voice wherein there was much more despondency than anger "his chances are so far, far above mine." . "Nonsense' Lyman," "How 'nonsense,' Clara ?" "lo you believe in proverbs ?" "Why do you ask V" "Hccaiise 1 do." Clara Townley' face wore it look of very firm determination as she siMike. "lo what particular proverb do you have refereneo jutt now V Lyman listed. "To iinn whlca aays, 'Where there's a will there's it way.' "I think that adage a remarkably trim one. Ami 1 think, Ly man, that you and 1 may teht its truth if we are ao inclined." You don't mean by an elopement Clara, do you V Ollcu and often havo 1 ! .1...

"Tho olmcurc place out west" has evident ly loll Ks ittiprLss upon tho general bear ing of Mr. Richard Livernioro. riVHiuitly the door of the sit ting-room opened and a servant Clara Townley's private maid, as it happened entered tins room. "Mr. John Townley liabce unwell for several days, sir, aud as he litis lately fallen into a doze, his daughter, MisaCUtni, does not consider it adviaablo to awake him. liut Miss Clara will lie very bannr i.i vr.. t : i , . .

"Of course of course by all means certainly," stammered Livermore. to whom tho immediate prospect of beholdin g his fiancee was thoroughly overwhelming. "I shall be most happy to see Miss' Clara Townley . Po good enough, won't you, to iuh IUJI stj ; " Ho was gratified, not loug afterward, by the appearance of a tall voung lady (who struck him, the more he looked upon her, as a very uunatttrally tw disagreeably tall young lady) attired in a rather short iU littiug dress, and wearing, upon a counte nance full of "broad-blown comeliness, rod and white," about tho most thorough frontrcar-to-ear sort of a smile that Mr. Hichard Livermore ever remembered hav ing seen. i "How d'ye do?" said the gigantic vir gin, accompanying her salutation with a rather vacant-sounding laugh. 1 "Hope you've well. You're lit-. Livermore, of uuuioe. r cu, j.iveremorc, 1 Uon't like your looks a bit. I low do you like mine V" "I 1 there must be some mistake," murmured Livermore in amazement. "I 1 1 understood that Miss Clara Town ley was to " "Well, I am Miss Clara Townley." "Impossible !" " You're complimentary, I'm sure ! liut perhaps you mean that I disniinnint v.m agreeaoly, Mr. Livermore. I hope I don't. I t are say you're a good enoimh kind of ellow out then you're decidet)ly not the the fellow for me. Saw that the instant I flapped my eyes on you, Livermore, if you'll pardon so vulgar an expression. ..1 me Mil l oi a gut mat likes pluck sporting-men with lots of i'.yo" iu them, and a general air of being "up to smpX" Now, you're not that sort of a chap, Livermore as I told at a glance." "Xo !" exclaimed poor Livermore, who had grown pale by this time, and with something which was not embarrassment "no. Miss Clara, I decidedly am not the type of manhood which you seem to admire. Is is your father in ' 11 mean can I see htm lor a lew moments V" "Our girl told you he was asleep didn't she '( was the young lady's inditlerent answer, searching for something, as she spoke, in the pocket of her dress. "He sides, Livermore, as you have come to stay several days, and have brought your port manteauthere, for that purpose, anytime will do, I suppose, to hold confab with pa." t orn, r.ii',,.1. " t; 'i... r,-1 'i '"-j'.iciaaiing ening visibly in manner, "it is'be'VrtA sie I should at once take my departure. "And why so Liv V" "Lie ."' Could liiehard Livermore be lieve bis own ears ? Was this vixenish, holdenish, overgrown female the Clara Townley whom he had worshipped iu dreams as his future wife V Had her lather been mad, to write as he had concerning her ?

There are tliou.satulH of'busv tmrnik who !"e every year lor want of i die every year for want of sleep. It may I at too.ln,1,lcU hKV inj"re8 80,!le' but I business habits there is far more mischief v.,i.iLiiuiu iiowiiiu iviiu UU1 uikoiinu I peril, a well as of sull'ering. Thousand c;t mrjn have been indebted for bad bargains, for lack of courage, for inolleotiveness, to loss of sleep. It is curious that all- the popular prac tical representatives of sleeping and waking are the reverse of tho truth. Wo apeak of sleep as the image of death, and of our waking hours as the image of life, liut all activity is the result of some form of decomposition in the body. JIvery thought, still more, every emotion and volition, wastes some part ofthe nervous substance., precisely an tlame is produced by wasting tho fuel. It is the death of some part of the physical substance that produces tho phenomena of intelligence and voluntary life, , . On tho other hand sleep to not like death1, Tor it is the period iu which the waste of tho system censes, or is reduced to its minimum. Sleep repairs the wastes which waking hoLrs have made. It rebuilds the system. Tho night is the repair-shop of the body. Kvery part of the system i3 silently overhauled, and all the" orgaus, tissues, and substances are replenished. W akmg consnmos, sleep replaces ; waking exhausts, sleep repairs ; Tvaking is death, sleep is life. . - .. The man who oleeio little, repairs littlo ; if he sleeps poorly ho repairs poorly. If ha uses up iu the day less than he accumulates at night, he will gain iu health atid vigor It he uses up all that he gains at night', lm Will just hold his owu. If he uses moisj by day than he gathers at night, ho will lose. And if this last process be long con tinued, he must succumb. A man who would be a good worker must see to it that he is a good steeper. Human life is like a mill ; sometimes the stream is so copious that one needs care but little nbont hi , ! 1 -ow oiien the streamthiit turn a "r mnl euus to be economized A f!:m) is uutit to tioiii a large supply. The mill runs the pond pretty -low through the day, but by shutting down the gate, the night retills the poud, and the wheels go merrily around the next day.

Jf day time i the loom In which men weave their pur poses, night is the time when the threads are laid iu aud the filling prepared. Kvery mail must sleep according to his temoerament.
