4 Frozen Ship.

n FROZEN SAAP'
A whaling vessel, which sailed from
London in the year 1910, found ill the
Polar sell Il ship imbedded in the ice, with
sails furled, and no 81 gns Of lite OH board.
The captain and some Of the crew, de-
scendins into the cabin, found coiled
upon the floor a large Newfoundland
dog, apparently asleep, but when they
touched it they found the animal was
dead, and frozen as hard as stone. In
the cabin was young lady seatcl at
the table, her eyes open as if gazing at
the intruders in that desolate place
She vas corpse! and had been frozen
in an apparently resigned and religious
attitude. Beside her was a young man,
who it ppeared was the commander Of
the brig, and brother to the lady. He
was sitting at the table, dead, and before
him was a sheet of paper, On which was
written, ''our cook has endeavored to
strike light since yesterday morning,
but in vain; all is now over" In an
other part Of the cabin stood the cook,
with the flint and tinder in her hand,
frozen in the vain endeavor to light the
fire which alone could save them. The
terrors Of the seamen led the captain
from the spot, who took with him the
| log book, as the sole memento of the
ill-fated ship. ItaPpeared that she also
was from London, and had been frozen
in that place over fourteen years.

Washington in regard to the extent of the demands

indications were that every disposition existed to
treat the questions between the Government IN a
conca,ory spirit, to do everything consistent with
the national honor 10 avert hosttes 1t was general

relations with England would be successful, unless

options, indicating that specuators among the out
sders were coming in The advance was quite gen.

A LESSON WORTH ENsHRINING.

A LESSON in itself sublime
A lesson worth eDshrning
Is this: " / take no note of time
Save when the sun is shining"
These motto WORDS a dial bore,
And wisdom never breaches
To human hearts better lore
Than this short sentence teaches:
AS life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let us forget is toll aud care,
And It's bright hours only.
There is no grove on eirth's broad chart.
But has some bird TO cheer il:
So hope sings on in every heart,
Although we may not hear IL.
And ii o.day the heavy wind
OF sorrow ia depressing,
Perchance tomorrow sun will bring
The weary heart a blessing,
For life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely;
Then les forget ils toll and care,
And note its bright hours only.
/. We bid the JOYOUS moments haste,
And then forget their glitter;
We take the cup OF life and taste
No portion but the bitter;
But we should teach our hearts to deem
It's sweetest drops and strongest
And pleasant hours should ever seem
TO linger round us Longest;
AS life is sometimes bright and fair.
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let Us forget it, toll and care,
And note its bright hours only.
The darkest shadows Of the hight
Are Just before the morning;
Then let ms wait the coming light
All bodeless phantous scorniDg;
And while we re passing on the tide
OF times fasi-ebbing rIver,
Lets pluck the blossoms by its side,
And bless the graciou, Giver-
As life is sometimes bright aud fair,
AMI sometimes dark and lonely,
We should forge: it. pain and care,
And note It's bright hours only.
