LIFE'S VOYAGE.
Two little children, at dawn of day,
Laughing and romping in merry ♦
In the pleasant springtime weather;
The brooklet murmurs close at their feet,
And the birds in the tree-tope, and butter
cups sweet,
Nod and glance In the waters fleet,
And they sing and dance together.
Oh, swift are the hours,
And gay are the flowers,
In childhood’s sunshine blowing;
And the heavens are bright
With a sapphire light,
And the days in a whirl are going.
A youth and a maid ’neath the noonday sun
Talk of tho now life for them begun,
In tho pleasant summer weather;
Tho lilies bend down low at their feet,
And the roses breathe out odors sweet,
And their lips full oft in true love moot,
And their lives flow on together.
Oh, sweet are the flowers
In Love's golden bowers,
When happy hearts are beating;
And bright are the skies,
Where Love dreaming lies,
And the weeks in a dream are fleeting.
A man and a woman, at close of day,
Wander along through the forest gray,
In tho golden autumn weather;
The leaves are rustling down at their foefc,
And tho ^ranches above them in arches meet,
But no now joys their tired eyes greet,
And they wander on together.
Ok tranquil the ways
. v)f our later days, " „
When fefce sweet, sad winds are blowing;
“'. And the skies bend low,
With their clouds of snow,
And the months are serenely going.
Two narrow graves in the moonbeam’s light,
Clad in soft robes of purest white,
In the snowy wintry weather;
The river flows on dark at thoir feet,
And the snowflakes above them gently beat,
Yet not one sound does their deaf ears greet,
And they dream and repose together.
Oh, happy at last,
From the world’s cold blast,
Bide by side in their graves they’re lying;
Life here is done,
Life there begun,
And the years are swiftly flying.
—E. J. Jenkins, in Youth's Companion.

my years of seclusion from all female
society and the beauty of my first love,
and excuse me ns best you can, while I
give you the details of that eventful
voyage.
We reached Peru in safety, discharged
our Cnrgo at a good profit, and took in
another, as we had proposed. We went
hither and thither nmong the strange,
almost unknown islands of Oceanica,
and counting our profits with extreme
satisfaction. Wo saw hideously tattooed,
men, beautiful though dusky women,
rare and unknown animals, fascinating,
ugly reptles; lovely and curious flowers,
and dense forests of trees unheard of
before.
We lived in a strange world of won
ders which rivaled the “Arabian
Nights’ " entertainment, and, to my Bess
and I, the days were laden with tho
breath of Eden.
Yes, she was my Bess, my peerless
treasure. My love had won a coveted
return, and John Nelson was to give his
’daughter to me in marriage when wo

Arctic Sledge Dogs.
Kamschatkan dogs are probably the
most sagacious of all feral types, and are
employed and trained in the most care
ful manner for tho multitudinous ser
vices required of them. Soon afterbirth
they are placed with their dam in a deep
pit,’ that they may see neither mun nor
beast, and after having been weaned are
condemned to solitary confinement for
six months, at the end of which time
they are put to a sledge with other dogs,
aud being extremely shy ord frightened
withal, they run as fast as they can until
they become blown and cowed. Alter
this trial trip they are remanded to their
pit, whero they remain, off and on, until
they are thoroughly tired and sledge-
broken. This severe education sours
their temper umazingly, and makes them
anything but companionable Drivers
are frequently obliged tostun them by a
blow ou the noso before unharnessing
them on account of their savage nature.
Besides drawing sledgC3 they t«w boats
up the river in summer and keep their
masters warm -in winter nights. Th®?
