HeAFen lies about us in oar infancy i Shades of the prison-bouse begin to close Upon the growing boy; But he beholds the light, and whence it ftcms, He sees it in his joy. The youth who daily farther from the East Must travel, still is Natures priest, And by the vision splendid Is on his way attended; At length the man perceives it die away, And ffule into the light of common day.

What, child? cDoe 8 this look well rWilliam Douglas stopped playing for a moment, and turned his head toward the speaker, who, standing on a ladder, bent herself to one side, in order that he might see the wreath of evergreen, studded with cones, which she had hung on the wall over one of the small arched windows. It is too compact, Anne, too heavy. There should be sprays falling from it here and there, like a real vine. The greenery, dear, should be either growing naturally upward or twining; large branches standing in the corners 1 ike trees, or climbing vines. Stars, stiff circles, and set shapes should be avoided. That wreath looks as though it had been planed by a carpenter.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
