It was a boisterous day; the wind was tossing the tree tops into billows over the hills of the evergreen isle. .\ thick, cold mist was blowin.g, white caps rode the waves of the lake and crows shrieked from the top of an old fir tree; my dog sat shivering at my feet. "Let's be off to the woods. Beau," said I. " The road ran up a gravel hill, then â- wound along through the woods; hos- pitable maples in their gay spring green spread their arms in welcome, dignifisd firs wearing buttonhole bou- quets of dogwood b'.ossoms stood like ushers; frisky willows, nodding ferns By Always Keeping Baby's Own and drifts of blue alder smoke lured; ^ j^j^^^ j^ ^^^ ^^^^ n^e ou.

I leaned on the old gate i while I waited for Beau. The wind lias calmed into a breeze that set all the trees to singing and the mist had begun to lift. I heard a door slam down by the water's edge and a boy whistling: the ring of an ai echoed through the woods, a man called, then a woman's voice singing flc;'.ted up to me with a message of coutent. The next time I saw the old gate, the maples had changed their gowns of green to ones of soft yellow, flrs were wearing dark velvet coats with boutonnleres of rich red burs that the dogwoods had pinned to their lapola. Adventurous sunbeams flitted through the trees and shadows lingered at the curves."

The voice of common sense, as well as of conscience, is not always as- sertive above the strident sounds of the day's work, the importunities of social claims or business. We have to learn to listen to what our better more deliberate Judgment is ready to tell us. even though it speaks in a whisper, not in a shout. In fact., the greater, purer inspira- tions of our lives never come noisily. They take possession of our horizons almost Imperceptibly, like tides of a peaceful coast or clouds of a quiet sun- down. We receive these ennobling and fortifying impulses, these clearer indications of the way to take, when we withdraw to the deep. Intimate re- cesses of our being. It is there that we meet our real selves and encounter instincts that are shy and usually in- ! articulate, ready to be put to flight by ! churlish, inhospitable contacts. | As music canuot live on terms of fel- Minard's Liniment for Burn*. 4 Where Go the BoaU?
