Having placed. it in a small |, tay Fes _ {Dated 1579.) - : You have marked the passing hours Upward of three hundred years, But there is never a sign nor a trace Of all you have seen and known, Never a glimpse in your face Of the gladness, the joy and the tears That have past in three hundred years. You have only to count the hotirs, Not the sorrows and woes of men, The hopes that were crushed and blighted, The deeds that still live in story, : The lives that were love united, For love, alike now as then, Is the mightiest power among men. Time, which destroys so much, Whose servant and slave are, Who holds the world in his grasp And who slayeth all men at last~ For none may escape his clasp— On love leaves never a scar: He is powerless to hurt and mar. For time is of this world only, And, though he doth all things slay, Yet for us remaineth a distant shore, ‘ Where he shall be powerless to harm us, Where love is triumphant forevermore, And doubt and distrust are passed away, And that which was faithful will ever stay. Academy. Yankee Sleds Beat Swiss Coasters. The original ‘‘otcbansk’’ has. for long remained sufficient for Cana- dian tobagganers, probably because the pastime with them is hardly more than the original means of. lo- comotion it provided for the Indians, and competition in speed was never & successful possibility. The primi- tive Swiss coaster was destined to a far shorter supremacy when put to the keen tests of the racing that de- veloped it. Men soon got all that was possible in the way of speed out of sitting on a wooden framework balanced upon flat iron bars. And ‘Mr. L. P. Child of New York sup- plied the want by producing in the winter of 1887 an American ‘‘clipper sled,’’ which beat every rider in Davos out of sight, whether native or imported. He rode it lying head first on his side, steering with one moccasiped foot swinging, ont be hind, after: the’ method familiar on the chutes of Montreal. | Owing to local prejudice and hab- it, this head first position had not penetrated to Switzerland till long after it had been well known else- where. But even the introduction of the now position was not so essén- tial an advance as was the long spring runner of Mr. Child’s ma- chine, by means of which steering was made far more accurate and easy than with the old flat runner of the “soblittli.” Mr. E. Cohen, enother American, by winning the best race at St. Moritz, Sitting on one of tle new clipper sleds, proved conolusively the meritaof the right machine, eyen when it was ridden in the wrong way, and showed that on, hard ice. as well as, on the snow of the postroads the mew, machines and methods were a great advanoe. ~—Scribner’s. The Fate of a Message. We weighed ‘anchor on Oct, 31, and when-close to, the. south shore sent off two boats in searth of seals. On, this oceasion ope of: the boats, being swaniped in the surf, was im- mediately crushed against the rocks, its crew having a rather narrow es. cape from drowning. One of the men fought bravely im the breakers for half an honr, withont relinquish. ing his graspon bis tife. With scrupulous care we now composed a letter upon which eagh bed his signa.| biadider which had been given to us for the purpose by the Ncrwegian consulhin Meltourne, we: consigned it to the waves and leaned over the bulwarks to see the mail depart.
