One bright summer morning more
than three score years ago, David Mat
son with his young wife and his two
healthy barefOoted boys, stood on the
bank of the river near their dwelling.
They were waiting there for Pelatiah
Curtis to come round the Point with his
wherry, and take the husband and faith
er to the port few miles below. The
Lively Turtle was about to sail on a
voyage to Spain, and David was to 90 in
her as mate. They stood there in the
lovely morning sunshine, talking cheer
fully f; but, had you been near enough,
you could have seen tears in Anna Mat
sons blue eyes, for she loved her hus-
band, and knew there was always dan
ger on the sea. And David's bluff
CHEEKY voice trembled a little now and
then, for the honest sailor loved his snug
home on the Merrimack, with the dear
wife and her pretty boys. But present
ly the wherry came alongside. and Da-
vid was just stepping into it, when he
turned back to kiss his wife and children
once more.
"In with you, man." said Pelatiah
Curtis. " There's no time for kissing,
and such fooleries when the tide serves. -
And SO they parted. Anna and the
boys went back to their home, and Da-
vid to the Port, whence he sailed off in
the Lively Turtle. And months passed,
autumn followed the summer, and win
ter the autumn, and then spring came,
and anon it was summer on the river
side, and he did not come back. And
another year passed, and then the old
sailors and fisherman shook their heads
solemnly, and said the Lively Turtle was
a lost ship, and would never come back
to port. And poor Anna had her bonn
bazine gown dyed black, and her straw

So you would learn my history Well,
1t is bitter tale to tell
l-ah, / once was young as you,
As young and more good looking, too
Y es, and-forgiye the rising tear,
For though the heart is brown and scar,
From out the well-springs Of the heart
No matter Let me play part!
| onee-how fondly memory clings
TO small but unforgotten things =
Mere trihes that to others seem
Like empty bubbles on stream.
But to resume-you must forgive
Ii, when the past again live,

Let's see-what was it last | said
Well, let it pass | can renew
The story, and explain to you

That when-but therel you've heard enough
Lies ups and downs are always rough,
There-keep my secret III not doubt you
You hayn't half crown about you?

A Mothers Musings.

Oh, my darling lovely baby,
Loved SO dearly, long ago.
Oh the fair, sweet forms of beauty,
Sleeping. sleeping meath the snow.
In the grave. so quiet resting,
Never sin or guilt TO know;
Far removed from this worlds sorrow,
Sleeping, sleeping meath the snow,
Happy. peaceful little sleepers,
While we suffer pain and woe,
Oh. how quiet is their slumber.
Sleeping, sleeping meath the snow.
Yet the day is surely coming.
When we mourners all will know,
God will call those little loved ones.
Sleeping, sleeping meath the snow.
To a place prepared in Heaven.
Where eternal life they'll know,
In the land Of the hereafter
No more sleeping meath the snow.

FILIBUsTERs.-As the term filibuster
has recently been engrafted upon the
English language, it may be of interest
just at this time to know the origin of
the word. The river Wy, in Holland.
is said to have furnished the name fv-
boat, IN English-in Spain J1;bote, or by
softening the first syllable, tilibote--to
small fast-sailing vessel of about one
hundred tons burden, which in the sew
enteenth century held in sailing ouali-
ties about the same place now occupied
by the Baltimoreclippers. The buccaneers
of the West Indies, who began their dep
relations on Spanish commerce in mere
row-boats, as they acquired the means of
more formidable outfit selected those
crafts as the best suited to their purpose.
Hence they became known in French az
Jlttbasters, and in Spanish as fili6usters,
an appellation gradually extended in
those languages to any kind of pirates.
BY still more extended meaning in the
United States, this term has become ap-
piled to designate any military enterprise
set on foot and prosecuted against the
government ofany state or country where
no war exists, by mere adventures, and
destroy the domestic institutions of its
people for the enrichment of the adven-
turers themselves.

Memories.

What simple thing may wake
Memories Of by-gOne days;
A breath of rare perfume may make
Visions rise before our gaze,
Faces. fair, which once have been.
Rise before our eager eyes
BeauteOus forms we oft have seen,
Fill our hearts with glad surprise.
Voices echo through the room,
Which we have not heard for years,
Eyes are shining through the gloom,
But we see them through our tears,
For these eyes will never CLEAN,
Never shine on us again.
I'LL we cross the crystal stream.
Where there is no care or pain.
Now, beside the brook we stand,
Where in childhood's hours we played,
Now with dear ones. hand in hand.
Rest beneath the naples shade.
Oh the happy, happy past
Comes before my eyes tonight,
And its joys, too pure TO last,
VIII make many burdens light.
