4 NIGHT ON TIE BEACH,

sTis midnight, nnd alone stand
B.neath The moou's palo ray;
The waves arc breaking IN the strand,
And lovingly they ki.s the sand.
Then melt in sn0T-wfste spray.
Tn standing meath the bending trss
That leans out o'cr the deep;
Tn looking downward at the sea,
That seems pillow waiting me,
Inviting me to sleep-
And 1',4 10 weary Of Ife's cares,
CoEroding III my breast,
That ali hfe's hopes, End al my prayers,
Are, that may c.calie their sna1es,
Aud lay ma down to rest-
On It my aching head might rest,
While no more would weep;
And ,uurmuring waves, with SNOWY crcs",
And cradle me to sleep.
The winds would hollow out grave.
Where might be at rest :;
Rcposius in tome rpck-bo,lnd cure,
Lulled to repose by mursnur1ng waves,
That roll above iny breast.
Great bars Of Furnished silver lay
before my fsmtshed eyts;
know i.'n but tn. moons bright Eay,
But 8traigc-swcet voices seem TO say,
Go grasp the shining 1Etze
And would grasp tho wealth untold
Within ,uy trembling hand
But OH feel tho waves 50 cold -
They drivs me back, then outward rou,
And leave tue trackess Sand.
NY brain reels with 4 1nnd desire;
Some power has stopped ny breath:
Tho wavea 70 cold nave turued u hre,-
They sbriek and hiss, lsap higher, higher,
IL drag me down to desa4h,
The clouds that seemed like angels swao&
Are black o'or ali the sky;
Tho black waves rolling 1t my 3eet
dhoot forkcd tongues of fery heat
They know cannot aJ.
I'll drive tho demon bi1!ows back
They shnu not take ny breath;
They'd lure me, tn their hellish track,
To fiery isles, or caverns black,
An! glory in my death.
Tho clouds thai rnfl above my head
Arc mirrofri in the Hood.
There's enxetiv shapes Of people dead, -
Som: Of the cloulr nro stFcate'l with red
Toe moou naB turned to nlsod.
They're gone,-.'l gone alone I stand
D.1e.th tha ll.'soa'a Fale ray.
Just wte:c tho water meets the land,
SER NY Footsteps In tho sand
Thlt tAs wAEos will wzsh away

TIKI TROUBLES or A BORROWER.
About year ago A. D. Swanson filed bill
against Benjamin Grosgman to enjoin him from
selling some Of bis property undor nsurious
trust, and an injunction WAS granted, and SUD-
seouently the amount due on the trust decd fixed
at s., ,005 instead OF 3675, claimed By Gross
man. But SWANSON took an appeal, aud the
caeo Was taken to tbs Supreme Court. where it
was affirmed last month. About u month ago
Grossmap, by his lawyer, II. Burgess, adVer-
tised tho premises for sale, and about two weeks
ago they were sold by Burgess to one G. A.
Crell for the exact amount due by Gross1nan's 3
estimate under the trust deed. Swanson says
that his property 30 sold was situated On the
corner OF May and Indiana streets, and was q
yery valuable corner lot; that it had thereon
two-story house, in part OF which he himself
lived. Moreover, tho complainant charges that
Gross1nnn, with the fraudulent design OF obtain
ing the house for hnEcf. advertised the prop
erty for sale in euch way that no one could
know its location unless By reference to the
map OF Oeden's Addition, which, however. was
destroyed by tho great fire; that no 1ocA-
ton bv streets OF numbers was given,
nor any statement made that the prop
erty was improved. At the sale. too, it is
charged, Burgess offered the property instead
of Grossman, who was the trustee. Since the
