GOING OUT WITH THE TIDE.

RAISE me up in my bed, wife;
There's the-sound of the sea in my ear;
and it sings to my soul in music
That earth is not blessed to hear. g.
Open the little window, wife,
Then come and sit by my side;
Well wait Gods sweet food-water so
To take me out with the tide. IS
I see the harbor-bar, wife,
And my dear little boat in the bay;
But who shall be able to guide her
When her master hath passed away?
1 know that her helm so trusty
Will answer no other hand G
AS it answered mine when i knew, wife,
You were waiting for me on the strand.
Our boys are all before us, wife;
Wee Jack beneath the wave,
And blue-eyed Freddie sleeps, wife,
In wonder yew-bowered grave,
Where the early daisies cluster
Around his baby bed,
And the thrush sits chanting softer
In yon tree that shades the dead.
There's chill runs through our hearts,
wife,
When the harbor- bar doth moan;
But darker grief will be yours, wife,
When YOU'RE left in the cot alone;
But a few more flows of the sea, wife,
And few more GIBBS of the tide,
Then Gods sweet flood shall bring you
Again to your old mans side!
The red sun is low in the west, wife,
And the tide sinks down with the sun;
We will part with each other in love, wife
For sweetly our lives have run.
Give me your hand, my own love,
AS you gave it in days of yore;
We will clasp them, meier to be sundered,
When We meet on the far-off shore!

The Connecticut Earthquake.

E -
e CONNECTICUT papers devote considerable
space to the earthquake shock which was
felt in portions of that State about four
O'Clock "Wednesday morning, July ~.
The Hartford C0urdnt says that it was
felt in various parts of that city, and by
numerous individuals, many OF whom
were aroused from their slumbers by it,
| though at the time it is doubtful if many
supposed that the real cause was dis
turbance underground. Early in the fore
noon reports were received from other
parts of the State, chiefly from towns west
| of Hartford, as far as Canaan, showing
that an earthquake had taken place, the
effect upon buildings and contents in many
cases being so decisive as to leave the mat
| ter in no doubt whatever. One gentleman
| in Hartford, who was awakened by the
shock, reports that it was the most severe
/ that he had ever felt, though how many
! he has felt we are not told. A lady who
came to Hartford from Winsted said that
she felt the shock, and did not know what
it was She was at first greatly fright
1ened 4s7 -yrn
The Hartford Post has kilograms giving
more details, from which it appears that
at Collinsyille the shaking lasted about
fifteen seconds. Windows were shaken,
dishes and lamps ratified, and many peo-
pie sprang from their beds in terror There
was a low, rumbling noise, with consider
able vibration, such as might result from
the explosion of heavy blast near by
| At Winsted the sound approached from
the north a little before four O'Clock, with
a rumbling, gradually-lncreasing noise,
and retreating in reverse manner to the
south. It was as loud as an ordinary clap
of thunder, and its force was sufficient to
shake windows, shut and open doors,
! move vehicles, and considerably alarm
many people. At New Hartford the
shock was accompanied by a rumbling
noise as of heavy wagon proceeding over
a rocky roadway Windows ratified, and
houses were shaken so as to awaken the
occupants. In one house number OF
pickle Jars on a shelf were broken. A
butcher who was out in bis yard at the
time of the earthquake describes the noise
as resembling a heavy blast or large wall
falling. At Canaan the vibration of the
earth seemed continuous rather than IN
distinct shocks. No property was injured
but many people were awakened by the
Earring of the houses, and the rafting OF
| windows and crockery. AT Litchfleld the
shock came at 4 :0S. AT first low rum
bling sound was heard, which was accom-
panied with a heavy tremor running
through the ground. Dishes were rattled
on the shelves, the windows shook, ano
MANY houses swayed as if about to fall
Many persons were awakened from SOUND
sleep, and great alarm was felt One
4 family was SO frightened that they fled
4 from the house in alarm. The shock was
/ also felt in Waterbury, Morris, Sands
:. 4 field. Mass. Winchester Center, .Wolcott
r Vile and over an area of several hundred
square miles in the northwestern part o
: the State, which is a mountainous dis
trict. Persons in Simsbury report moth
! ing of the kind, and it is probable ne
shocks were felt so far to the eastward

Sure Signs of Marriage.

A CYNICAL bachelor is responsible for
the following directions how to tell the
married:
If YOU see a lady and gentleman disa-
gree upon trifing occasions, or correcting
each other in company, you may be as
sured they have tried the matrimonial
moose. 4a
If you see a silent pair in a car or stage
lolling carelessly, one at each window,
without seeming to know they have a COM
panion the sign is infallible.
If you see a lady drop glove, and a
gentleman by the side of her kindly tell
ing her to pick itup, you need not hesitate
in forming your opinion; or,
If you meet couple in the fields, the
gentleman twenty yards in advance OF the
lady, who, perhaps, is getting over sue
with difficulty, or picking her way through
a muddy patch; or,
If YOU see lady whose beauty and ac-
] complishments attract the attention o.
| every gentleman in the room but one, you
can have nodifficulty in determining their
relationship to each other--the one is her
| husband. 5ug $3.50 li
If YOU see gentleman particularly
| courteous, obliging and good -natured, re
Taxing into smiles, saying sharp things,
and toying with every pretty woman In the
room excepting one, to whom he appears
particularly cold and formal, and IS un-
reasonably cross-who that : one" is no
body can be at loss to discover.
If you see an old couple jarring, check
ing and thwarting each other, differing 10
! opinion before the opinion is expressed,
eterns.llv anticipating and breaking the
| thread of each others discourse, yet using
kird words, like honey bubbles floating
or vinegar, which are soon overwhelmed
by a preponderance of the fluid, they are,
| to all intents, man and wife; 1t is impossl-
| bic to be mistaken.
The rules above quoted are laid down as
| insallible in just interpretation-they may
be resorted to with confidence; tney are
upon unerring principle and deduceo from
everyday experience.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

THE Paris Founding Hospital has set
up novel claim lately. One of its pro-
teges, whose mother was dead, and whose
father had abandoned it, inherited a for
tune from relative of the mother. AT
once the father claimed the custody of the
child, the mothers relatives claimed it,
and the hospital claimed the right hold
the child and administer the fortune, but
the law gave the child to guardian
chosen by the relatives of the mother.
RECENTLY a foreign embassy sought the
aid Of the English police to find a young

happened at Condo. A man engaged III

weather was very hot, and he had some
distance to walk before crossing the front

which resulted in such an absorption
through the skin of the poisonous .auall

A TRAGIC event occurred lately in eli
