Western Gherokees are not allowed to

lima Cherokees would get about $780,
900 by the bill, and no man who knows
their utter want OF capacity but knows
they would not have dollar Of II in
three months. The bulk Of II would at

they are asking Congress 10 appropriate

The capacity Of this great work for
the commerce Of the Indies seems fully

an extract from private letter written
by a leading American engineer now at
Port Said, stating the following facts
from his own observation at the two bar
bors, Port Said and Suez, and from a
tour along the whole canal o.. ..a'
:" The harbors are admirably con.
structed for the accommodation OF the
immense business which the canal is
destined to do. The water ia at present
twenty-five feet throughout and will soon
be twenty-five. There is no obstruction
Of any kind no lack ofauy description.
The entertainments are very wide and
high, serving as protection against the

the canal in repair will be also much
less than has been represented"

A HAUNTED VESSEL. About 4 year ago
last month the schooner Andy johnson, Nc
Lellan master, of Salem, started for Georges
Banks on u fishing cruise, and has not been
heard from since. About that time the
schooner Haskell came in collision with a
vessel in the nighttime, on the Banks, and
sunk her, leaving a large piece of the rail of
the unknown vessel on her bows This piece
correspondent with the Andy johnson, and is
supposed to be the last relic Of her. The
Haskell started last month for the Banks, and
the first night on the fishing grounds had bad
weather. Four Of the men were on deck
when suddenly there appeared to them four
Of the missing men Of the crew Of the John
son, who ordered them home. They We're
frightened and called the captain and the rest
of the crew, told them what they had seen,
and prevailed upon them to give up the yoy-
age and return home, which they did, leav-
ing the schooner on her arrival. The owners
then shipped 4 new captain and crew, as not
one Of the former crew would 90 in her, and
she again left for the Banks, where she arriv-
ed in good time, and they again tried their
luck. Bad weather again met the schooner,
and when all hands were on deck eleven men
appeared to them and took their lines from
them, ordering them to return at once. which
they did the next morning. Arriving Off the
harbor of Gloucester, they anchored the
schooner and took their small boats to land
giving as a reason that they were afraid to
take the vessel to Gloucester as they We're or
dercd to Salem The owners senta tug-boat
and lowed the Haskell to their wharf, and
now she is reported as having returned n
third time empty. This is 4 strange and
curious tale, but it is vouched for by reliable
parties as true. 1t has created great deal
of excitement in the ports of Salem and
Gloucester Traveller

WAITING FOR THE SPRING.

As brccZes stir the morning

Stcel-blue the heavens above me,

Mt unto me the stiffness
This burden seems to bring
Patience! the earth is waiting.
Waiting for the Spring"
Strong ash and sturdy chestnut.
Rough oak and poplar high,
Stretch out their saplesS branches
Against the wintry sky,
Even the guilty aspen
Hath ceased her quivering.
AS though she too were waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.
| strain mine ear 10 listen,
IT happy whore | stand
But one stray note of music
May sound in all the land,
why art thou mute, o blackhirti:
o thrush, why dost not sing:
All. surely they are waiting.
Waiting for the Spring"
O heart thy days are dark>omc;
o heart! thy nights are drcar;
Rut soon shall streams OF sunshine
Proclaim the turning year,
soon shall the trees be leafy,
Soon every bird shall sing;
let them be silent, waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.

BED TIM E.

Later. let mental hand
Lift the jewels from your breast
10 their velvet cushioned rest:
Precious pearls on golden strand.
Gems that flash a dazzling light
On the brilliant crowds of night;
But oh. mother, let your care
Place the dearer jewels there.
In the soft and snowy bed
Drop the little white-robcd things.
Such as oft find angeles wings;
smooth the restless, tumbled head:
Hear the precious, trusting prayer
Climb along the heavenly stair;
Rain down kisses in shower
Sing the song of bedtime hour.
Tuck the pink and dainty feet
What retain lifc'S sordid care,
And to loveless hirclings dare
Delegate the sweetest sweet:
Let no daytime burden lie
ON the heart or dim the eve
Purer JOY shall fill your breast
While you Soothe the lambs TO rest.
Listen to a curious thought
Flashing out when lips dropped lower
Open wider than before -
Wise Your fancies, queerlv wrought,
See no fever flush is there
ON the brow so smooth and fair:
Hear the breath come soft and low.
Not till then, oh mother. go.
All, the dreary night may fall,
You m empty crib shall see.
Nh, or else such time may be
Not for you to gaze at ali,
And at best is childhood brief.
Haste to write on mcmory's leaf
Mother-loye and words whose power
Charms through life the bedtime hour.
