the folio win jj autnzaa, which we take from an
fcntftah paper:
Come from your Song, ions rorin*.
On the aea *o wiki and rough;
Come to me tender and toeing.
And I ahali be bkaned vnoagh.
Where yocr aa!l* have been nnfnrtlog.
What wind* have blown on yocr brow,
I know cot, and aac not, my darling.
So that yon come to me now.
Sorrowful, atcfnl and lonely,
P jor and deefrieed though you be.
All are nothing, if only
Toe tarn from the tempter to me.

Learning to Swim.
“That's a fuel," (aid Mr. Hopkins
ss he laid down his paper the other
evening, “every men, women end
child in the ooontry ought to know
how t> swim. No one esn tell what
minate be will be npeet, blown np or
knocked oTerboerd. Amende, I'm
going to learn 70a how to swim.”
“Learn me?" qneried the wife ee
•he paoacd in her sewing.
"Yen, you. Your life is Ten? deer
to ins, end I don't went you to lose it
heeenee you sen'* swim ashore when
an aeoident lakes place. I can swim
like a duck myself, and I feel gnilty
to think we're been married twenty
one years and yet you'd go to tbe
bottom like a stone if you fell OTer
boerd.”
“Why, I never had the least fear,"
she replied. “There is always seme
hero around to rescue a lady.”
“No one wants to depend on he
roes. Of oouree, I’d jump into tbe
water to ease a lady, bnt there are
lots of men who wouldn’t. Stand np
Amanda, and let me giro yon the
motions of swimming. Now then,
put your hands so, pash them for
ward so, take a sweep snd bring
them back so. See bow easy it’s
done? Yon musu't forget to kick
esary time yon more yoor arms."
She went through the motions sev
eral times, bnt so awkwardly that be
called eat:
“That isn't the way ? Tbe motions
ought to be perfectly natural. Now
imagine that yon are out on au Pl
eura ion, ”
“Ye*."
“Yon lean orer the rail to Tiew
some floating object.”
“Tea."
“You suddenly grow dizzy and
tumble beadloug into the river. Now
what motions would you make as yon
rose to the surface? What would
you do ?”
“Well, if a hero jumped in after
me, I'd lean my band on Ira shoulder
like this and let him put his right
arm aronud my waist aud support me
until help arrived.” •
“Hero be-hanged ! A hero won'd
look uiee holding np 190 pounds,
wouldn't he?”
“He’d look ss nice ns you vronld !
I don't believe you conld keep your
head above water to save your life !"
“I couldn't, eb! Then I won't
learn you a single stroke about swim
ming !”
“Then yon needn't!"
“And if any man ever jumps over
board aud reneues you I'll pnnch his
bead 1"
“And if yon ever jump in after
anybody I know I’ll hive to pay your
funeral expenses out of my share of
this property 1”
"Very well,” said Mr. Hopkins sa
he put on bis cot t, "I see I am not
wanted in my own homo. If I am
net home te-night it aou't do yon
any good to teleDhone me at the of
fice, for I shall have the wire ground
