happy
When their summer life is past?

Ah! the years have fallen round me
Since we stood beside the stream
And I have shown the hopes that found me
Then to earth were but a dream.

Oh, were you and I together
On that bridge, once 5, 2, 8, 4
I would give a different answer,
Than I did in days of yore

I would tell of summers fading--
How the sun must set at night
And of all the thick mists shading,
Sun and summer from the sight

I would tell of that deep yearning
Springing from the fading years
For a sun that has no turning--
For a life that has no tears

Yes! those little leaves that we recall,
Drifting on the streamlet's breast
They were glad, that bleak and chill _all_--
They were glad for they had rest.

Easy Methods Of

MAKING SLIDES FOR THE MAGIC LANTERN,

By John Boyd.

The new three-wick and four-wick magic lanterns which are now made are
so good, and give so much better results than the old oil lanterns, that
they are coming largely into use, and for ordinary purposes they do
remarkably well. The better class of them stands comparison even with
the oxy-hydrogen light, although of course they are excelled by it. They
are so easily manipulated that many boys now possess them and work them
with good effect. The more expensive ones are fitted with first-class
lenses, and can be used also with the oxy-hydrogen light.

Two years ago my boys became the happy owners of one, and many a
pleasant evening has been passed since, looking
