'THE SINGER'S PRIZE. The tall house lowers grimly,

Deformed by smoke and rain; And the bleared sunshine dimly Blinks on the window pane. Though sore and numb her fingers,

And slowly fades the light, The girl nor rests nor lingers,

But sows from moru till night. Her bright young face is sunken, And fails her gentle breath; Her fair young form is shrunken,

To fit the robos of death,

And I think of the woodland shadowa

That she has never been;

Of the wonder of song in the meadows,

When all the world is green. But now the close lips quiver,

The nimble hands are slow- The voloe the dreams of ever Rings Lu the roorn below.

The inad young poet is singing, With only a crust to eat ; But a fountain of light is springing

Up from the narrow street.

And whether hasings in sorrow, Or whether he sings in gles, He hopes that the world to-morrow

Will list to his melody. And I think though his heart were buruing

With words no man e'er said, The world would be turning and turning

If to-morrow he were dead.

Daly, both late and carly,

The girl, as maidons will, Dreams when the voids cornes eloarly

Up to her window-sill.

A bravo fade has she found him,

A manuer frank and gay, And long ago has crowned him

With myrtle wreath or bag.

So whether in gloo or sadness

He singe, bo bas the prize,

When he brings the light or gladness

To a dying maiden's eyes. --Blackwood's Magasino.

There the bonds that hold man to man are stronger in proportion as the community is smaller, and the feolation among strangers greater. The feeling of sympathy with the sleeping dead is stronger as we feel more nearly that they were our Immediate predecessors, and that wo are only treading in their steps. But for these reminders their work would affect us little; but in their provenge we are affected by sympathy for the departed; and in the night of these silent monuments we feel our own littleness brought home to us with power. In the midst of action we deem ourselves allimportant; we imagine that we feel all space; and realize not that we are doing nothing more than what numbers of our fellow-countrymen did before and in all probability will do again when we have joined the ranks of those who are golog before. In action, our thoughts are all on the present; in graveyard our view widens, and we feel our kindred with the past and also with the future.

There indeed do we feel the frafity of humanity, and are stimulated by curiosity to pleros the veil, and rob the grave of its Becret. There does the last and most beautiful feeling come over un-the sense of the repose of the dead. To those op pressed by the bardon of life this is indeed sweet, to feel that when the battle is over there will be rest at last.

so we had to slip the cables and go to sea without them in a heavy gale, which lasted some days, and knocked up the weakly crew, and made the sick men worse. On the fourth day out our old black cook died, a few days after another man died, the mate and two of the crew had to go to hospital, and the rest were all complaining. The weather having become fine the captain and I agreed that our best course was to double reef the topsails and make the ship snug while we were able to do it, so everyone who could crawl aloft lent a hand; but we were the best part of the day over the job. Os the tenth day out another man died, and two more of the crew gave up; then we had a heavy gale, which lasted three days, but although it was hard upon us who were left on deck the ship was safe, owing to her having been made anug in the fine weather. On the 14th day out we struck soundings; all the men became suddenly worse, and one

Be- ing fat bottomed she went as fast to leeward as ahead when sailing by the wind, so I kept good offing, and, notwithstanding much bad weather and several mishaps, I made the passage in 17 days.
