THE voYAGERs.

From the depths Of the Unknown,
From the bosom Of the Throne,
All these countless milIiong como.
Launched out into cbildhooti's sss,
Charged With joy and misery.
Struggling for supremacy.
Rearing in their childish eyes
In their quaint though APT replies,
Great unfathomed mysteries.
Onward como with youthful years,
Grander hopes and darker fears,
Interspersed with smiles and tears.
Gliding into fancy's realm,
With no hand 70 guide the helm.
Passions Oft times oyerwheim.
When lifc's labor doth begin,
Some TO honor, some to ain,
Rapidly are usheTsd 10.
Some will care for naught but pleasure,
Some will strive for worldly treasure,
Some seek glory in full measure.
Some will josrney, ever singing,
Radiant hearts about them singing,
Glorious fruits thus homeusrd bringing.
Some from their abundant store
Will so help the sorrowing poor.
That they'll hunger never moss.
Year by year will pass away.
Bridging age and slow decay,
Bringing locks Of silver gray.
Then the shadows slowly lengtbeu.
Strangely then the pathway darksn,
As With eager souls they heaksn.
To the rustiings in the air,
To the last adieu to esres
To she pastors parting prayer.
To the whispering from the rivcr,
To the hearts instructive quirer,
To the voice, al will deliver"
Then the soul on angels wing
Seeks for Iife's eternal spring
Seeks the new awakening.
Hears the greeting from the Throne
"Oh, my child. we'll hast thou done.
To thy fathers mansion come.

A little girl who loves to pray, one
night was very tired and sleepy, and was
getting into her little bed without say
ing her prayers. But her mamma told
her to kneel down first and pray. So
she folded her little hands and said:
"Please, God, remember what Polly
said last night, she's so tired to-night.
Amen"

lie remembered that when boy, one Of the then
surviving aborigines or the island was IN the habit
OF calling once each year at Lbc farm for the pur-
pose OF receiving certain quantity OF grain for tho
rental OF the $50 acres or land which comprised the
homestead, and which, we presume, was paid as
matter OF charity for at that time there could not
have been any legal obligation to pay.
Or. Thorne received a good education, ana after
leaving school studied medicine under the well
known naturalist, Dr. Samuel Mitchell. In lsc0.
having previously obtained his diploma, he made

with his brother, In the tobacco business At this
time the best part of Manhattan Island was covered
