"ROCK OF AGES"

"Rock Of Ages. cleft for me-"
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung,
Fell the words unconsciously
From her girlish, gleeful tongue;
Sang as little children sing;
Sang as sing the birds in June;
Fell the words like light leaves sown
On the current of the tune
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
"Let me hide myself in Thee
Felt her soul no need to hide;
Sweet the song as song could be-
And she had no thought beside;
All the words unheedingly
Fell fro N lips untouched by care.
Dreaming IT they each might be
On some other lips prayer
Crock of Ages, cleft for me;
Let me hide myself in Thee.'
Crock of Ages, cleft for me-
Twas a woman sung them now,
Pleadingly and prayerfuly;
Every word her heart did know,
Rose the song as storm-tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air,
Every note with sorrow stirred
Every syllable prayer
Crock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
"Rock Of Ages, cleft for me''-
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustingly and .enderly-
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dina,
"Let me hide my selfin Thee;''
Trembling through the voice and low,
Ran the sweet strains peacefully
Like als.ker.I.. IT'S flow
SuDF4c they can sing
ywEs of Aid the promised rest
Let me hites, cleft for me.
aoui17 yself elfNtpznHlsaA----
Crock Of Ages, CLEFT for me-,
Sung above a coffin lid:
Underneath, all restfully,
All life's joys and sorrows hid.
Never more, o storm-tossed soul.
Never more from wind or tide.
Never more from billow's roll.
Wilt thou need thyself to hide.
Could the sightless, sunken eyes.
closed beneath the soft gray hair.
Could the mute and stiffened Inns
Move again in pleading prayer.
Still, aye, still the words would be,
LET me hide myself in Thee.''

SPONGE FIsHINa.-The work of procuring
sponges, as pursued at Tunis, requires great
skill on the part of sponge fishers, who are
principally Greeks, Sicilians and Arabs. Of
these the Greeks are the most expert in their
vocation. The sponge fishery is most actively
carried on during the months of December,
January and February, as at other seasons the
places were the sponges exist are overgrown
with seaweeds. The storms during November
and December destroy and sweep away the
thick marine vegetation, and leave the sponges
exposed to view. They are obtained by spear
an apparatus, and by dredging with machine
similar to an oyster dredge. 1t is in spearing
the sponges that the greatest dexterity is shown.
The spears used by the Greeks are shorter than
those employed by the natives, but they man
age them with such adroitness as sometimes to
reach sponges covered by sixty feet of water.
The British vice consul at Tunis reports that
these Greeks hold in their hands three or four
spears, and dart them with such precision, one
after the other, that before the first has time to
disappear under the surface the second strikes
its upper extremity, and thus gives it addi-
tional impetus to reach the sponge aimed at.
Wherever sponge is removed new one is
produced within year to take its place. The
finest sponges are found in the Mediterranean,
the chief market being Smyrna. Coarse spon-
ges are procured in great numbers in the wa
ters of the Bahamas, and form an important
article of export from those islands. A very
good article of sponge is found on the coast OF
Florida, where the supply is so great, that II
the fisheries were actively prosecuted 1t would
suffice for the consumption of the United States.
