WYNNE PARRY.

What do I k lJ O W abo ut Great-Grandfather. an d his doingswh en he was a boy ? T his qu estion tr ou bled m e greatly. Grand­fnt he r used to tell m e that Gr eat- Gran dfa the r h a t! <I n at tic builtwh er e he used to st ud y the s tars through a telesc ope . This attic Ipass daily on m y way to scho ol.

Oue nigh t, as I lay in bed, gazing at the stars, I began tothink about Gre at-Grandfa th er. and wo nder what he did w hen hewas a boy, and as I lay gazing' at tho stars, I fell asle ep , andd reamt this dream .

Grea t-Grandfather carne to me. aud said. .. Would you beinterested to hear of my rloinga when I was a boy?"

" Oh, d o tell m e," I excla im ed, uud he began ;-,; I was born in the town of Milford ill the year eighteen

h un dred. :'1y fat her was emp loyed in His Maj esny's Dockyard,the n si tu ated in Milford, and he earn ed one pound a week. Thiswas ce r ta inly not eno ngh to ke ep us, for we were a la rge family,:;0 m other had to work as well . Many and man y a time.

Youm ust not think 1 was alw ays :;itti ng do w n watchi ng m other , forIII v de lisrht was to stea l a boat an d 1'0 1\' in the Raven , I couldsw im ev~'r since I was five years of age, w hich was a lu ck y thingfor me. be cause 0 1](- day, 1 and th ree other boys stole a boat , wh enwe han scarc ely read ied the age of five years. and went for a rowin the ha rb our. \Ye wer e qui t e safe f'or a ti m e, but sud denly.about tw en ty porpoises' heads appeared ab ove the wateraro nud us. Wo dropped the oars ill terror , an d ou r screamsrl'ighteu('([ the po rpoises away. OU I' boa t drifted in to the curren t ,an d dashed into one of th e many buoys in the harbour . It over ­t.urue d . aud we we re struggling in the water when a boat passedhy. and we were rescued.

" I sha ll nev er forget the time when I saw the Victory sai lingup the harbour, f ull rigged, with Nelson '8 flag fly ing at the he lm.That, mo rning, I had climbed up Castle Hill , to watch for the fish -

And the sun said to m e ;_" I come with theeTo put to flirrh t ', '"I'h e sh ades of nightFrom that Haven 's fa ceF or a moment' s space."The sun ne 'er 1000'eWou ld f rom that shoreFlee t.o the W estFor nightly rest,But f'or ever and ayeWould thp re give day,Tangled in braidOf its beauties, madeA wi lli ng prisoner.

H. G. L. CARD1<J,\T,

J ack Frost got up on e moming,And he said to himself : -

" Now I must ge t to work at onceFor I'm a bus y elf. " '

So he too k pain t. an d brushe8.And on every winrlow pane,

He ll1a~l e such pretty pictures,Of lull and dal e and plain,

And on ev el:.r bush an d tree-to pH e hung Je wels ri ch and rare

And nipped t.hei.I' ears and fing~rs.And tipped with red each nose .

He fr oze th e lakes and ri versAnd bound them with his chain .

But when the sun shone brig htlyTh ey were set fl'ee again.

If I said to the sun :_.. Your work is d on e,Sink not to th e seaBut come with meT o the dusk y East.1'0 the dark 'uing Eas t,And with your rayChase night awayFor ther e doth rf'~tA Haven bleat, -That I would see.While life to me.Through day and nigh t,rhrough shade and Hzht1'1 '" l. ie good Lor d doth accord."

" I looked up and saw a m ost beautiful lady. H er hair shonelike the setting s un, and h er eyes were the colo ur of St. Bride' sBay in summer. H er dress was of a beautiful gr een colo ur , an d Ishall n ev er forget her beauti ful voice .

" •Go to Castle HalL' she said . ' an d ask the cook to give youa lar ge loaf of br ead to can'y h ome, be cau se Lady Hamilton hassaid so.'
