BY MARY j. WISDLE.

The sun Is high in Heaven, favoring breeze
Fills the white sails, and sweeps the ripping
And the tall vessel walks her destined way,
And steams and glters the curling spray.
The canvas futters in the signing breeze;
In azure dimpes curl the sparkling seas.
Upon the deck, all happiness and hope,
The busy coils the rafting rope;
And tells his Jest and carols his song.
And lungs his laughter, vehement and long;
And mods the head, and waves the parting hand,
To those who creep upon the lessening strand
Days pass the sun wthdraws his light
Terrific her grandeur reigns the night!
In gusts and meanings hollow the blast,
clouds pour out their fury as they pass
1t comes ! 1t comes from skies convused and riven,
The tempest leaps the artillery Of Heaven
Peals from the clouds tho arrowy lighnings geam
Gares the decp and glds the raging stream
" The ship is sinking ~ terrible and slow,
Along the deck the angushed whispers go,
No more remains to fan ife's feeble fires,
And hopes last throb just futters and expires.
Death when thy shadowy sceptre waves away
From his sad couch the prisnor Of decay
There friendship views the close with gistcnnS eye,
And loves fond lips mhibe tho parting sigh;
But ,phen none such wild terrors clothed thy brow
Or such keen edged thy dart as nowH
Vain wero the task for mortal mind to CLEAN
The crowding horrors Of the closing scene.
Loud thrills the death shriok from the crowded dock
Down the deep gulf reels the staggering wreck,
Shrek after shrek dying struggle tells,
And each dark biow peas hundred knells
All sink at last beneath the whening stream,
And all that life becomes dream
And naught heard OF all the tumult save
The hoarso deep murmur Of the surging wave.
Who shall mark
Where, vany struggling, sank that laundering barkY
No rude carved record o'er the hiocks breast
Tells the bright hope that soohed the slumbcer's rest
No spring flowers budding from the funeral ground
Whisper their "still resurgam' all around,
But ono cold shroud Of unrelenting gloom
Curtains the silent chambers Of their tomb
Far, far beneath in coral graves they lie,
The deep their sepulchre, their pail the sky,
Where the loud tempest sings their wild lament
And the tall pillows their monument
BY moaning gusts their requicms are sung,
Theirs the storms wild howl the thunder's tongue.
Oh there is grief for them and bier tears,
angushed thoughts through long and oyess years
And childish tongues will babble Of their names,
And lonely hearts viii dwell upon the theme.

We always supposed that "Aunt Beth
any" told the truth when she remarked
to her bright-eyed Niece, "marriage is
solemn thing, my DEAR" 1t certainly
used to be so, but things amt now as
they used to was" The rapidity with
with which this trifing matter is disposed
of is startling. Out of a number of in
stances We give one.
"a couple in Texas recently left home.
unbeknown to the damsers parents, and
started in company with minister for the
home of a friend, where they were to get
married. The "governor ascertaining
their flight, started after them, when it
was proposed that they should be married
on their horses, while running, which was
done before they were overtaken."
There, don't that take the breath out
of your bodyG Did not that lady most
emphatically "rm her chance?" We
have grown so excited thinking of il, that
we must restore our composure by lean
ing back in our cosy chair and I" smoking
our pipe in peace" or rather smoking our
piece of pipe.
