LIFE'S SUNNY SIDE.
Wlmt—you nre dull to-day I
In n sad mull to-day f
Up and lie social and stirring, I pray
Why so lugubrious;
Take a salubrious
IValk, and ivo'U talk, for I’ve something to
say.
Verily, verily,
Tilings will go merrily
When .you are merry and bravo
But if not cheerfully
Tempered, but tearfully,
Lifo is a tyrant, aud you are its slave.
If you go wilfully,
However skilfully
Nurshing your moods and your delicate
whims,
Life will be dumb to you,
All tilings will come to you
Touched by a shadow that saddens and
dims.
Life has two sides to it,
Tulie the bout guides to it.
Look at tho best and (ho brightest, my
friend.
Re n philosopher,
Don’t look so cross over
Matters you never ran alter or mend,
Look not bj dismally
ftown the abysmally
Dark—hanging over tho precipice brink.
Worst of nil bias is
Hy|H>ehondriusi.s
Sunshine is healthier thuu shadow, I think.
If you would drive away
Gloom, and would hivo away
Honey-like peace in your innermost coll,
Work—like the humble lice,
Soft let your grumble bo:
Burn your own smoke, and tho world will go
Well.
—C. P. Crunch, in Youth's Companion.

TOM’S EXPERIMENT.
Tom was in a dilemma.
llcsntonthc rocks overlooking the
sea, in tho very spot to which he had
been attracted two hours before by tho
sight of a searlct jacket, and thought
over his perplexities, and wondered how
it would turn out.
“Plague take the girl,” lie said, xvith
rather more emphasis than politeness,
as he ground a pebble into tho earth
uudur bis licol, i’lhlliko to knowhow to
get the start of her.”
That was just it! How to get the start
of Janet Stafford xvas what puzzled him
more than anything he had attempted in
a long time, lie had tried, in more ways
than one, to accomplish the feat, and
every attempt had been a failure. lie
was getting discouraged.
The way of it all was this: Tom Win
ters had met Janet Stafford a year ago,
and had straightway fallen in love xvith
her. Now Miss Stafford was something
of a flirt, “a regular, born flirt” was
Tom’s way of putting it, and she liked
to tantnli/.e the men, and especially Tom,
it stented to him. Time and again he
bnd opened his mouth to propose, but
she always seemed to know what was
coming, and by adroit tact would
turn tho conversation upon
some other topic, and talk on and on,
until poor Tom would get disgusted,
and conclude that he would wait for
some other opportunity to declare his
love. In no way could he determine
whether she cared for him or not. He
thought" she did, however, and that
kept him following her round as faith
fully as her shadow, watching for an
opportunity to put his fate to the test,
anil
“Win or lose it all.”
He had seen her sitting on the locks
that afternoon, reading, and of course
he joined her. He wouldn’t have been
Tom Winters, if he hadn’t.
Janet know, before ho had been (ivc
minutes try her side, that she was verg
ing toward a proposal. She could tell
it by his face, and the awful silence
whicli seemed to settle down about him,
as he concentrated his courage for the
momentous crisis which lie hoped was at
last at hand.
Suddenly she started up.
“I’m getting absent-minded, 1 think,”
she laughed, “I promised to go boat
riding with Jack Deverc this afternoon,
and I had forgotten all about it till this
minute. I’m sorry to leave you, Mr.
Winters, but a promise is a promise you
know, and lias to he kept;” and with
that she was gone, and poor Tom swal
lowed the words that were sticking in
his mouth, and sighed dolefully, while
lie thought unutterable things about Jack
Dcverc, who was his special aversion,
because he was a good deal more atten
tive to Miss Stafford than Torn thought
he ought to he.
“I wish Devere was in—China,’’
growled Tom, getting up and brushing
the dust off his clothes, preparatory to
going back to the hotel.
“What did you say, Mr. Winters?”
iskod a voice at his side, and there was
Miss Stafford again. “I left my hook
here somewhere, and came buck after
it.”
“She's thinking about me,” said Tom,

early period; after xvhich the leaves of j
trees. These were superseded by the
outer bark of the tree, but this being ;
too coarso tho inner bark came soon '
after to be used, that of the lime being 1
preferred. This bark was called by the t
Homans liber, the Latin work for hook, ,
and these bark books, that they might

these xverc fifteen feet long, containing j
fifty and sixty skins, fastened together

This roll xvas 120 feet long, and was de

the sixth century. The next material
was parchment—skins smoothed anc
polished by pumice stone—to which
succeeded vellum, n finer description oi
parchment, made from the skins of very
young animals. On this vellum golv

the sameness and inactivity of tho gar

character would succumb. When they
ennm to pay the first ceremonious call
in full uniform, xve spoke of common
place topics, I kept up a running line
of commonts to myself, usually on one
subject: ‘I wonder if you are likely to
go to the bad under temptation; I am
sorry for your mother, having to give
you up uml he anxious for your habits
at tiie same, time; I hope you don’t
drink; I pray that you may hax’e stam

knew that I believed so in matrimony

used to teasingly accuse mo of greeting
all of them when they arrived with the
same welcome: ‘I am very glad to see
yon; 1 hope that you are engaged,’ I
hardly remember being quite ho abrupt

to wish it to myself. Their frequent
difficulty xvas tliut they desired to do
everything tliat the old officers did. I

One, especially youthful in appearance,
