THE WORST iS YET TO'CQJE

Last Flower of the Year.
The gentian was the year's last child;
Born when the winds were hoarse and
wild
With wailing over buried flowers,
The playmates of their sunnier hours.
The gentian hid a thoughtful eye
Beneath dark fringes, blue and shy,
Only• by warmest moonbeams won,
To meet the welcome of the sun.
The gentian her loing lashes through,
Looked up into. the sky so blue,
And felt at home; the color there
The good•Ged gave herself 'to; wear.
The gentian searched the fields around
No flower -companion there she found;
Upward from all the woodland ways
Floated the aster's silvery rays..
The gentian. shut her eyelids 'tight
On falling leaf and frosty night;
And close her azure mantle drew,
When dreary 'winds around her blew.
The gentian said, "The world is cold-;
Yet -ane clear glimpse of heaven 1 hold..
The sun's last though is mine to keep!
Enough—now let me go 'to sleep."
—Lucy Larcom.
Strong Men of Old..
Feats of great strength have at all
times excited much interest, and the
more - extraordinary examples- have
been deemed- worthy of record by his-
torians. Remarkable though present-
day feats undoubtedly are, they have i
oftenbeen eclipsed by those recorded
in bygone clays.
One of the most famous strong men
of, antiquity was Polydamas, the Thes- i
ashen, who lived about 400 B.O., Won-
derful stories are -told of his: colossal
size and strength. On one occasion lie
le said to have held a wild hull so firm-
ly by one of its hindfeet that the ani-
mal in its struggles to release itself,
wrenched off its hoof, while another
feat tor -which ' he was renowned was
the stopping of a chariot when driven
at full, speed by seizing the wheel.
Richard Coeur de Lion was an'ex-
ceptionally strong man, and it Is re-
lated of him that, while a prisoner in
Germany in the hands of the emperor,
he gave a terribly practical proof .of
the force -of the blow he wet able to
deal with his clenched fist, •
i rind al warder had
The son of his p p
invited the royal captive to an ex-
change of blows, and, winning the
right to deliver the first punch by cast
king the dice, struck the 1�1 g a heavy
blow an the side of the head, stagger-
ing. him.
Richard, in his turn, now struck and
"landed" on hie opponent's ear with
such force as to kill him on the spot.
Sir Walter Scott, in his inimitable ro-
mance "Ivanhoe," makes use of the
story in his relation -of the exchange
of buffets betweeu the King and Friar
Tuck. •
Sunrise at Midnight.,
You may think this impossible, but
it is not. It is- a fact which you have
only to go to the proper place to wit-
ness. This proper place is North Cape,
latitude seventy-two degrees. At this
point, the sun, at one time of the year,
does not net for several weeks; at an-
other, it does not rise for several.
At last, on the proper day, according
to the almanac, it shows its face. Af-
terwards, it remains for ten or twenty
minutes-, then goes down, and at
length does not set at all, but makes
an almost perfect circle round the sky,
in full view.
At North Cape, during the Erne the
sun does net set, the inhabitants tell
that it is 12'o'clock at night by seeing
the sun rise over the mountains. Irn
Stockholm, the sun, in June, sets a
short space before 10 o'clock. During
the night, it is very light, owing to the
passage of the sun round the earth to-
ward the North Pole, and people can
see to read at midnight.
At the end 'of the Gulf of Bothnia,
there is•a mountain, where, on the 21st
of June, the -sun' does not set at all.
This happens only on that night, -The,
sun touches the horizon, but doesnot
sink below it; in live minutes, it be-
gins to ascend again.

Their Only Hope.
They were raw recruits that the ser-
geant was trying to knock into ,shape,
Very, very raw, he called: them, and
somthing else as well, as you may
guess, if you know anything about .ser-
geants.
On this occasion they were being in-
structed in the use of the rifle,
They fired at one thousand yards
range, and missed the target alto-
gether. Then at 'eight hundred yards,
withthe••sanie result. By easy stages
the distance was reduced to thirty
yards, but still not a shot gat home.
At last the patience of thier .in-
structor was exhausted,
"Fix bayonets," he ordered.
