4.--GEOGRAPHICAL ENIGMA.

To gently walk, to move with ease; An edge, or margin, if you please: Combine the two, and you will find The home of persons great in mind.

A spot of northern English ground Near which a mighty poet found A still retreat: a teacher sage, And lady honoured in her age, Were dwellers in this district too, And all its wondrous beauties knew.

THE BOY TRAMP.

(_Continued from page 55._)

I hurried out of my clothes as soon as Eliza had closed my bedroom door, although I did not turn into the inviting bed until I had bathed my feet, which were already slightly blistered. Then I lay down, having a difficult task to keep my eyes open until she came to take away the candle. To my surprise, Eliza bent over the pillow and kissed my forehead, thus making me feel more guilty than ever. It seemed a poor way to repay the kindness I had met with at her hands and Mr. Baker's, to run away during the night, although unless I did this it appeared certain that I should be taken back to Turton's the first thing after breakfast the next morning. Concerning such a calamity I felt desperate, and I believe there were few things I would not have done to secure freedom.
