Cruising.

What are the days but islands.
So many little islands,
And sleep the sea of silence
That flows about them all?
There, when the moon is risen,
The peaceful waters glisten;
But yonder plashing-listen
1t is the souls that fall.
The little boats are skimming,
The wind-let boats are skimming,
Each in its silver trimming,
Apart from feet and shore.
There not an oar is dipping
With just cables slipping
Glides out the phantom shipping
That wanders evermore.
Every days an island.
A green or barren island,
A lowland or highland.
That looks upon the sea.
There fruitful groves are crOwning;
There barren cliffs are frowning,
And rocky channels drowning
The little boats that fee.
How many are the islands,
The teeming, talking islands,
That in the sea Of silence
The rowing vessels find ?
Their number no man knoweth
Their way the current shOweth
The tide returnless fioweth
As each is left behind.
The sailor longs to tarry-
For rest they long to tarry-
When at some isle of faery
They touch and go ashore.
With songs of wistful pleading
They follow fate unheeding,
And with the tides receding
Are drifting as before.
But sometime, in the sailing,
The blind and endless sailing,
They pass beyond the hailing
Of land upon the lee;
The lOwlandS and the highlands,
And all beyond the islands,
Behold the sea of silence
Behold the great white sea.

WONDERS OF CHEMIsTRY.-Linen can
be converted into sugar sugar into al
cohol and carbonic acid alcohol into

converted into oxalic acid, and like

cohol will readily change into acetic
acid or vinegar. Coal tar is transformed
into dyes that surpass the Tyrian purple

We talk and dance awhile,
Then either seeks the others face,
To catch the brightest smil e.
Then moonlight smiles and Lalla Ro0kh,
And Serenading smiles,
That touch and lure away the heart
Like ssftest vesper chimes.

On China cup and saucer.
Then bright bouquets where every bud
A languid odor sheds,
Then pencil cases, solid gold,
With hollow heads for leads.
Then parting-never more to meet,
Then meetings by and by,

Outside of rusting rye?

But, blushing, takes loves token, ..
And will you love me 2" Yes, | will

A Missouri Enoch Arden.

A one-armed horseman recently trav-
cling through Missouri stopped at
blacksmith shop to have his horse shod.
The smith noticed the empty sleeve, and
asked him if he lost his arm in the war
He replied, with sigh, that he did, and
even more, going on to relate how be

and at the close Of the war, in going
back, he found that his wife, who thought
him dead, had moved away, and he had
since been unable to obtain a trace of

blacksmith. When the answer was j.

hoof over which he had been bending,
and, without looking at the ex.soldier,
cried: Follow me into the house" and
hurriedly led the way. Amazed as he
was at such conduct, Waldrup mechani.
cally obeyed the unexpected bidding,
and before he could pause to think, was
in the presence of comely matron
about whose sewing chair three happy
children were playing. She was the
blacksrhith's wife, the mother Of his liz
tie ones; yet as she rose to see whom the

Waldrup was dead, she had married the
blacksmith Of Cedar City in the very
year Of the soldiers parole and could
now only confess her dread mistake and
call alternately on her husband and her
God for pardon.
After the first agitation Of the singu-
lar reunion had partially subsidized, the
two men returned to the smithy and
talked the matter over as sensibly and
coolly as their respective feelings per
mitted. Devotedly as he loved the wo-
man, the blacksmith admitted the 9TH

one Hundred Year. Ago.

One hundred and ten years ago there
was not a single white man in Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Then, what
is the most fourishing part Of America
was as little known as the country
around the mysterious mountains Of the
moon. 1t was not until the year 1867
that that Boone left his home in North
Carolina to become the first settler in
Kentucky. The first pioneers Of Ohio
did not settle until twenty years after
this time. A hundred years ago Can
ada belonged to France, and the popula-
ton did not exceed a million and half
Of people. A hundred years ago the
great Frederick Of Prussia was perform

made him immortal in military annals,

Of Europe combined. Washington was

A lady who has visited Vassar college,
is severe on the manner of dress in that
institution. The critic thus writes; The
great drawback to success lies in the
want of physique to start with, and in
the miserable habits of dress and diet
which they bring to four years Of hard
work. 1t is this, and. not overstudy,
which breaks them down. tits curious
circumstance, but il is true, that students
are hardly ever supplied with sufficient
warm clotking for the winter season.
Nor is it possible to impress parents with
the necessity of providing warm yet
light all-wool garments and fabrics,
which will resist cold weather, yet not
be too burdensome 20 the wearer. Girls
from the far West bring dresses of almost
the same texture for all the year round,
and possess neither the requisite under
nor outside clothing for permanent
health and daily comfort This is not
from poverty; it is simply want of knowl-
edge. The girl who is shivering for the
want of undergarments, warm merino
dresses, wooden stockings, and thick
shoes, will have bracelets, white kid
gloves, and a gold watch, and perhaps
diamond earrings. Simplicity, conven-
ience and comfort should characterize
the dress of college students, and it
would be well if special attention were
directed to this matter, and mothers
told exactly what to provide in the way
of dress for daughters going to college,
and thus avoid what is really a serious
obstacle to continued study.

When the steamboat st. Luke stopped at
the landing some hours later, Wald-
rup went on board with his still
weeping and thickly veilej wife,
and the blacksmith followed
with the children. The boats bell
rang for the starting, and the dread sep
aration was at hand. The crew, the
passengers, the captain-all who wit
messed it-were affected to tears by the
touching scene. With great drops roll
ing down his tawny cheeks, the smith
kissed the children one after another,
and in a choking voice bade their moth
er an eternal good-by. The two men
gazed wistfully at each others faces
shook hands long and earnestly, and
then the blacksmith, by a strong effort
Of iron will, released the hand of Wal
drup, and walked quietly to the shore.
He never turned his face again toward
the boat, which soon passed out Of sight
around a merciful bend in the river, but
strobe on, with head bowed down, to the
home whittier the voice of his wife and
children should welcome him no more.
