it Reflections Oh! Liberty Halls, where there's now no returning, Oh! place where, as young folks, we acted so queerg Yet deep in our hearts everlasting is burning A flame of sweet memory for school so dear. XVe're now in a mansion we,ve wished for so long, But things are not perfect-though nothing seems wrong. All in our new palace we seem such a few That our thoughts often wander, as thoughts some- times do. Back to the woodshed they'll rise,on their wings, Then through the old halls in our fancy there rings The sweet voice of the girls as they always were talking, The sound of thc boys through the halls noisily stalking. We see the old cobweb which we used to abhor, And the dust on the walls which we now can adoreg An ink-well turned over, its contents all spilled, But what did that matter? it soon could be filledg A Window-pane broken to let in the air- Oh! give us back pleasures we once enjoyed there. While our mansion is grand, there is not the collec- tion Of joys we can find in our sweet retrospection. Our studies were pleasures in those days we passed oler, And with joy we now study as in life we seek more. But our new school is a treasure all are admiring With voices and actions and grace never tiringg Yet wherever we wander, wherever we rove, The halls of old Liberty,' forever we'1l love. -J. M. B.

But one must go down three times before drowning. and before that fatal third time we were rescued by a lover's quarrel. It didn't hurt. me. and l am thankful for my fate. not that I do not think him admirable. still I should not care for him for a life partner. He slTall be a man of excellent char- aeter and in confidence I will tell you I have found him. lint poor IIarry. I know he felt hurt. because he was so devoted. and so my presence here will make it unpleasant for-him. Now I ani sure you will not feel hurt by my leaving. About tln-,sanie time in another part of that comfortable and inviting summer residence of the Kenneths. Evelyn's husband and VVinifred's former sweetheart were holding conversation. 'tFred, old boy. said Harry. I will have to leave you, as I am called away on business matters. Business matters! Here we are about ten miles from town and I know very well that you have not received a telegram or letter. Must be mental telegraphyf' ' tfWell. I admit it is not business. confessed Harry. Hbut not caring to weary you. I made that excuse. The fact is I am subject to epileptic tits. the symp- toms of which I feel several days before. Nonsense, now.

NI once loved the sweetest girl in the world, as I thought then. I thought I couldn't live without her. She was my own happiness. However. We have not met for two years. but last night as I was sitting on the veranda I saw the same girl. now grown to womanliood-VVinifred Jackson. Poor girl, I know she is still charming. but another has taken
