JI&4 wo hither cotne (or quiet,
Hither lied the city’s noise,
But to change it for tlio liot
Of till so liortid country boys!
Waking one with loiul hallooing
Early every sunuoitr's day:
Shooting robbiu*. 'teasing kittens,
Frightening the wrens away.
I wrote those linos one happy summer;
To day I smile to read them o’er.
Remembering how with anxious faees
Wo watched all day the opening door.
They came, “the boys,” sir foot in stature,
Graceful, easy, polished men;
Vowed to Lou, behind tny knitting,
To trust no mother's word again.
For boyhood is a thing immortal,
A s each fond mother will agree;
And sons are “boys" to her forever.
Change as they may to you and me.
Now by the window, still and sunny;
Warmed by the rich October glow,
'The dear old lady waits and watches;
Just as she waited years ago.
For Lou and I aro now her daughters—
Wo married “those two country .boy s,”
In spite of all our sad forebodings
About their awkward ways and noiao,
Lou springs up to moot a footfall,
i list no inure for coming feet;
Mother mid I are waiting longer,
For stops on Beulluh’is golden stroot.
But when she blesses Lou’s beloved,
And seals it with a tender kiss,
I know that loving words go upward;
Words to another world than this,

HOW TO PREVENT’ DROWNING.
I wish to show bow drowning might,
under ordinary circumstances, beavoid
ded even in U10 case of persona other*
wise wholly ignorant of what is called
the art of swimming. The numerous
frightful casualties render ever working
suggestion of importance, ami that
which I Imre oiler 1 vouturo to think is
entirely available.
When one of tho inferior animals
takes the water, falls, or is thrown in,
it instantly begins to walk as it does
when out of the water. But when a
man who cannot ‘swim’falls into the
water he makes a few spasmodic sttug
gles, throws up his arms and drowns,
The brute, ou tho other hand, treads
water, remains on tho surface, aud is
virtually insubmergibie. In order, then
to escape drowning it is only necessary
to do as the bruto does, and that is to
tread or walk the water. Tho brute
has no advantage in regard to his rela¬
tive weight, in rospeet of tho water,
over man, and yet tho man perishes
while the brute lives. Nevertheless,
any man, any woman, any child who
can waik on tbo land may also walk in
the water just as readily as the animal
does, if only ho will, aud that without
auy prior instruction er drilling what¬
ever. Throw a dog into the water and
he treads or walks instantly, and there
is no imaginable reason why a human
being under like circumstances should
not do as the dog does.
The brute indeed walks in tho water
instinctively, whereas the man has to
be told. The ignorance of so simple a
possibility—namely, the possibility of
treading water, strikes me as one of
the most singular things in the history
of man, aud speaks very little indeed
of fiis intelligence. Be is, in fact, as
ignorant on the subject as is the new¬
born bubo. Perhaps something is to be
ascribed to ths vague meaning which is
attached to the word swim. When a
man swims it means one thing, when a
dog swims it means another and quite a
different act. The dog is wholly inca¬
pable of swimming as a man swims,
but nothing is more certain than that a
man is capable of swimming, and on
the instant, too, as a dog swims, without
any previous training or instruction,
and that by so doing without fear or
hesitancy, be will be just as safe in the
water as the dog is.
The orute in the water continues to
go on all lours, and the man who wish¬
es to save bis life and cannot otherwise
sivim. must do so too, striking altern¬
ately, one, two. one, two, but without
Jinny precipitation, with hand and foot,
exactly as the biuto does. Whether he
be provided with paw or hoof, the brute

floating herself and nuking them Ui*at,
which pimply consists in lying quite still,
with the mouth shut and tho head
thrown well back in tho water. The
dog, the horse, the cow, the Bwine, the
deer aud even the cat all take to tho
water on occasion aim sustain thetu

my children on my back. Once I re¬

sea, by the receding tide at Bologna, but
regained the shore without difficuty. A
drop of water once passed through the
rim a of the glottis, and on another oc¬
casion I experienced such sudden indis¬
position that if I bad been unable to
float it must, I think, have gone hard
with me.
Men and animals aro able to sustain
themselves for long distances in tho
water, ami would do so much oft oner
were they not incapacitated, in regard
of the former, at least, by sheer terror,
as well as complete ignorance of their
real powers. Webb’s wonderful endur¬
ance will never bo forgotten. But

the most efficient life preser

house, there ought to be a slate tank of
sufficient depth, with a trickle of water
at one end and a syphon at the other,
iu order to keep the contents pure. A
pail or two of hoc water would at any
j time render the contents sufficiently
warm. In such a tank every child from
tho time it could walk ought to bo made
to tread water daily. Every adult,
when the opportunity presents itself,
should do so. The printed injunction

and in gevery school. ‘Tread wa

TUs Fox's Advice to the Hare.
One day a fox discovered a fine ch inco
to capture a pullet for his dinner tho
only drawback being the fact that the
farmer had sot a trap just in the path
which auy depredator must (ravel. In
this hunted emergency around the hungry Ryna.nl
until ho found a hare,
and after a few remarks on the state of
,>■*#' t-tl-C,
Whittaker investigation aud the Turk¬
ish question he said.
“Iwa 8 just thinking as 1 overtook
you what impudence some folks have."
“How!”
‘‘Why 1 met .Miss Pallet a short time
since and sho boasted of being able to
out run you ’
“The brassy creature!' exclaimed the
hare. “Why, I cau run as fast as she
c.tu tl j!’
' “Certainly you can but shr’s doing
you groat injury among your friends by
her stories, if I were you I’d s >0 her
and warn her that this thing must stop/
“I'll do it! I was built for speed,
and everybody knows it, aud i won’t
have no pullet boasting that she can
out run me. Coma along and show mo
where she is '
“Well, I’ll go as a special favor to
you of course/ humbly replied the fox,
“and to show Miss Pullet what the fox¬
es think of the hares [ will let you take
tho lead and follow in your footsteps.’
As they neared the coop the hare be¬
gan to arangw a little speech of greet¬
ing but he soop had other IDh to fry.
He walked into tho trap with eyes
wide open and ore lie hud recovered
from tho shock the fox had secured
lus dinner.
••.Say! Say! I'm caught!’ yelled the
hare as he struggled with the trap.
“.So ! observe, was tho reply.
“And what is your advice-"
“To get away as soon as you can!’
Moral; Every neighborhood scandal
ha3 throe lies to one truth. No per¬
son becomes a talo~boan.tr except to
forward some scheme of his own.
When a fox is anxious to preserve the
reputation of a Intro let the hare look
out.— Lelroit Free Vresn.
Marriage says Blackatone is a civil
contract. Very civil before but alter

A VouDg lady admitted to her mo¬
ther that her beau bad kissed her on
tho cheek. “Anti vvhao did you dof'
