young folks thbbbaoohllgat when i wm a boy said old walter winwick there w no light on yon head land and mi a good boat and ship went to her doc m among thou rock i well 1 e nember the fii si time i went to sea how proud i felt my nncle owned a fiihiag bor and ho took mo for hti sea- boy to my infinite deli2hh grandfather wjth whom i lived f r l was an orphan was pleased and proud too its in the blood watty he said to me in the blood i we are all born sailors and i hope youll find tne sea as good a friend as ive done fjou keep off the rocks and see that you tail in a wellfound vessel and go by yonr chart and compass youll be all right f not pays much attention to grand tohsa words as i should hava done for i was young and my head a bit turned wit h excitement the old man stood on the shore and watched us sail ont from the cove as we got fully under weigh i waved my cap to him and he nodded to me i had often been out sailing of course before that day bun never at sea as a hand and yon may be sore i was eager to helo and prove my skul at pulling rpes reeling and steering that first night was all but my last for a storm came on very suddenly and it grew so dark we could not see ahead we tried to make our own hurbour but the villages straggle for miles alodg shore and we uould not dutinguish the lighs of east linga from thoso of west llotra some of the rooks rise in precipices of fearful height some iron out in strangling reefs across the bay when it is light any man of us can briog a boat safe to land but in the darkness it is a difficult matter and in a storm it means daring death the open sea is to be preferred on the night i speak of it was impossible to remain ont and we made for home with anxious hearts hoping to steer clear of rocks yet doubtful of our course uncle said once perhaps the old man will think of lighting his beaoon on itoga headland ab poor old father manys the wmo ive helped him drag the broken tim bers to the top of the headland to make a light for them at sea and many a good boats crew has blessed him for it i hope hell think ont to night i answered that the boys of the village wore always ready to lend grandfather a hand in gettirjg up his bonfire and by and by as wo were peering through the darkness hearing the roar of the surf upon the rookb and being confused by the many lights along the bay we saw- high up on our rtoht the merry blaze leap towards the lowering olouds and i shouted hurrah lfor grandfathers beacon so we were guided safely to our harbour grandfather died at a good old age and the last thing his eyes looked upon wab the vl new lighthouse on llnga headland and he l said lord now lettest thou thy serrant depart in peace ho was a devout man and had been a light amone his lellows all his days he had set an example to those around him and as i watohed him die i thought if every boy and man would show their light as he had done many sailing on lifes solemn main a forlorn and shipwreoked brother seeing may take heart again ive tried in my small way to follow u his footsteps and i never look at the light house yonder tint i dont hlnk of the good old man and his beacon fire and his exem plary life a3 i stand by the shore and watoh the boats go out and in with merry boya and stalwart men aboard as i think on the long voyage of life ive made and how i ve been kept off the rocks by gods spirit it has seemed to me that yon beaoon on the height ib the symbol of that whioh has baen my guiding light his word the tower his spirit the lamp and i pray that every boy who launches upon tho ocean of life amid the rooks and storms and darknebs and wild waves of a troublesome world may be led safely to their desired haven by that heavenly beacon jessie m e saxby i m mormons in canada- because more mormon settlers are reported to be tiring up some land in alberta where a small colony of them already oxiats some timorous orltics are alarmed at future possi bilities mormons who come to canadian territory will find that with our government there is ono law for all a deputation of mormons who visited ottawa last year wero given distinctly to understand that they must conform to the law in every way as other citiz ins do there is no misunder standing in tho matter and polygamy they know well is illegal in canadian soil there ib this difference between the mormons in autah and in alberta the utih settlement vwas formed wbea that part of the american continent was a wilderness and tho place was thought to be so remote from chrlsiian communities that no interference need bo apprehended but the united states settled faster than those people supposed and they had to reokon with the strong arm of authority a few of them in coming t canada understand perfeotly well that no polygamy will ever be tolerated here other wise as lawabiding and industrious oltizms tie mormon settlers have nothing to fear foregnera in iiondon according to the london correspondent of the new york sun tho metropolis has never before been so filled with foreign visi tors as it lr at present the hotels being more crowded even than they were during the jubilee celebration there is plenty of accommodation to be had of course but it is of the sort that cannot be found withont a search the correspondent says the wisest thing any american who is bringing ladles with him to loudon can do is to leave them at southampton or at liver pool or chester or at some nearer northern point and come alono co london first to secure apartments to whioh he can later bring his family if he docs not do this and comes on without having secured lodgings the chances are that they will all be put in to an extremely miserable day or two of hasing after shelter and then will got the worst that is to be

odious law it is proposed in montreal that each alder man wear a badge in order that he may bo distinguished from the ordinary ratepayer and that he may receive from policemen fireman and the public generally the defer ence due to municipal rank the idea is novel and not at all bad in olden times an alderman was distinguished from common mortals by his massive proportions but lately the electors have been voting in muni cipal contests regardless altogether of the size and weight of the candidates tho re sult nowa days is that one may pass an alderman on the street without knowing it if a tag be attached to eaoh city father this sort of thing will not occur again it is not proposed that there be a number on the badge the intention is to have a plain label informing the publlo that the

people who ate those dinners were the fat and prosperous and he began to give christmas dinners to the poor a further development of charity came with the thought that poor people want dinners at other times than holidays and he had this announcement posted on his hotel any person man woman or ohild who is hungry and lacks money will be cheerfully served with good wholesome food free of charge in the rear of this hotel it is curious to note that although the food is given without any questioning or condition only fifty peo ple a day have beon fed since christmas and as the weather grows
