dip deep thy pen into my heart,
angel scribe, and write, that
May know myself I will not cry
Nor weep-dip deep; will not start
The angel dipped deep in her heart,
And drew his dripping pen and wrote
And, though her knees together smote,
She did not cry, nor weep, nor start.
He wrote one word In many ways,
All quaint. but beautiful, until
His fair white roll was full, and still
Her modest eyes she did not raise.
" Ia IL all written?" "Even so,
Behold" She saw not, for her sight
Was dim with pain and in despite
Her woman's tears began TO now.
Then through her tears she looked again,
And saw the word all written fair;
And smiled aud sighed, and with bsT hair
Toyed, crying: Love p but love In pain;
"Yet Thou. dear Christ, hast shown me how
To die for love; let others wear
LIES roses In their waving hair,
Irvine Thy thorns about my brow"
The angel bent his stately head,
And babe her bless him as he bowed;
"For though my name and state be proud
am no peer TO thee, he said.

IRON-CIAD VESSELS.

This total of "a iron clad vessels
carries, as a feet, the heaviest guns
afoat, and all the vessels are of the tur-
reted Monitor pattern, several of them
being, in addition, armed with ram
prows. All of them could be put into
active service just as soon as they could
be furnished with stores and crews,
which would probably be "a period of
two weeks.

THERE is good reason to believe that
contagious diseases are often communi-
Gated by dogs, cats, and other household
pets. A case of scarlet fever recently
occurred in England in which dog con-
veyed the disease. He had been the
constant companion of fever patient,
and his hair doubtless became impreg
mated with the malaria.

CONSTANT.

Down through the orchard wandered. We,
Where, bending low, each burdened tree
Hung full Of fruitage yellow.
Twas morning, and the autumn sun
Shone on the leaves Of gold and dun
With radiance soft and mellow.
There came blush upon her cheek,
thought my time had come to speak,
She seemed 90 sad and tender:
touched her snowy dimpled hand,
But found no words at my command,
My burning love TO render.
At last we paused beneath tree,
The branch that rheltered her aud me
Reached low its luscious fruit.
"Be seated, pray" gently plead;
al canno,--cannot,' soft she said,
'I'm in my walking suit"

THERE is no excuse for not having two

never within the recollection of the

This gives total of 80 wooden vessels
of all classes worth taking into account
which are in condition for active service,
and require only to be fitted out with
store and crews. The first 20 of
these vessels are not inferior to any other
wooden vessels afioat of their tonnage
and metal, and as rule possess an ad-
vantage over others by the superior cali
Der of their guns. This gives as total
of vessels, iron and wood, now ready for
emergency, the following:

The horse, in his fall, had become en-
tangled III the harness and lay helpless
upon the earth. The moon was Just ris-
ing and gave but uncertain light, for the
sky was full of feecy clouds, but still
1t was bright enough to perceive grand
father drop the package of four thousand
dollars as he stopped down to free the
horse. There it lay at my feet and he
was unconscious of his loss. Another
instant / had picked it up and was hold
ing 1t behind me, irresolute how TO act.
You Will understand that | didn't intend
to steal it, but somehow or other I had
an indIstinct idea that L could make the
occasion subserve my aims. There was
large flat stone by the roadside. / had
trapped a rabbit there once, and / knew
there was considerable cavity beneath
it. An instant later and the four thous-
and dollars were deposited in the hole.
The shaft being tied up we got on orr
way again, but it was midnight ere we
arrived at home.
Grandfather had not been within
doors five minutes ere he discovered the
loss of his money. He didn't get angry.
but he was frightened. 1t was the first
time in my life had ever witnessed him
alarmed.
"Ive lost my money ~ he exclaimed.
IA he drew his hand from his coat pocket.
Then he slid down, like a helpless child.
into a chair, and the cold Precipitation
broke out in large drops on his forehead.

The Sea->eIpent turns up regularly at
this season. and the following account
of an encounter with him is given by Il
gentleman well known in Boston as en-
tilely Trustworthy On our way from
SwampScott to Valiant. July 30. We
met with an adventure which has ere
ated quite an excitement in our usually
quiet household. Our party consisted
of my reverend brother. two ladies and
myself. with two sailors. We We're
sailing III my Yacht about half way be
tween SwampScott and Egg rock. the
sea- being quite rough. owing to the
strong s"uth-eaSterlN wind of the pre-
viou> night. when we spied Il school of
hlack-ti>h. ar small whales. between
Egg Rock and Little Nahant. While
We We're watching their movements
through our glasses. the head of an
immense fish or SeamonStcr suddenly
emerged from amongst them. remained
above water for some seconds and fell
again. causing the water to boil for
some distance around it. and this per
tormancr it repeated at intervals OF
perhaps two minutes. This being
something none of lis had ever seen be
fore. We ut once headed the Yacht for
the creature. When fist seen it was
at Il distance of about two miles from
us. and heading toward us. had on
board Il small breech-loading Ballard

motion at the Vessel WAS 81 great that
II WAS almost impossible to get steady
aim. We chased il about the bav ful
two hours. and. during that time.
fired at it about - times. at distances
varying tIom 100 to 300 yards. Once

but with no perceptible effect. Finally
It started out To sea. and when last

~ in number, one of which seemed to
keen alongside of it. Its description.
as nearly aS | can give 1t 10 You, Is aS
follows: The head reminded me OF
lizards head. long. fiat on the top. from
two to two-and-ahalf feet across, with
ewes large and prominent, set well back
on the upper part IL large mouth,
which we could see open occasionally.
This head il lai>ed about Gig lat feet
from the surface of the water. bringing
it up slowly and, keeping it up five
TO ten seconds. when it would plunge
back with Il quick motion like Il dive,
and showing Il small portion oi the
back, where we could see IL pointed fin
about one and Il half OF two feet long,
standing straight up, and III front We
could see the upper part OF what look
ed like short legs, or tiippers OF seal.
but il never raised the cXtremities from
the water. Its color WAS Il smooth,
glossy black. except the under part of
the lower Jaw. and us much OF the
breast as we could see which was
white. with Il distinct line of denmark
alton between the two cOlors. | could
see nothing that looked like scales.
We could. of course tell nothing about
the len 9Th of his body, but there must
have been an immense power some
where to enable him to raise such Il
head and neck, slowly, to such dis
lance above the surface. and to hold II
there for so long Il time. 1t WAS dis
tinctly seen by one of our fishermen
who passed within few hundred yard,
while we were chasing it. No one il
this neighborhood ever SAW anything
| like it before. and if it was not tn,
original sea-serpent, | should like IL
! know what it WAS.

\ DEAR JOKE To ITS AUTIIOR.-Den-
yer. Colorado. gave an instance of il
joke being carried too tar. 1t WAS per
petrated years ago, but only lately
came to light in a public dress. Some
time after the Atlantic cable had been
established. telegraph operator at
Denver sent the following dispatch
TO the Emperor Napoleon, Garlen Of
the THiIeries. Paris. France:
Gov. Gilpin will not accede to the
c,SSion of Italy to France. Please let
Bohemia alone.
The operator supposed 1t would
make some fun in the Omaha office, and
stop there. aS the station agents had Il
general understanding in regard to each
others jokes. BY some hook OF crook
the dispatch went on and dived under
the ocean and came up smiling in the
Garden of the Tuilcries, in France
The manner of its reception by Ma
poleon has been lost to history. All
that is known is the Emperor did not
pay for it. and the facetious operator
was hunted up and obligc'i to pay Il
bill of $lS1.5O in gold for his little Joke
That operator WIS entirely satisfied
with the result of Sedan.

THIRTEEN LIVES LOST BI \ RESERVOIR
FLOOD.
Monmouth CJuly 49, Letter to London Times.
The heavy rains of the last few days
have produced very disastrous consc-
qucmccs in this district. the damage and
loss OF life being considerable. The
most fatal event is the loss of IL lives
at Cwm earn. about 10 miles from
Newport. on the Western valleys line
OF the Monmouth>hire railway. through
the bursting of Rogers pond. used us Il
reservoir for supplying the Monmouth
shire canal. The pond is situated in
the upper portion of Il dinglc formed
bV the junction of two valleys, an en-
bank melt of sand and gravel being
carried across to dam back the acclImu-
lated water rising in the springs above.
About II o'clock on Wednesday eve
ming. the water III the pond, which had
previously been observed to he wash
/ ing over the bank. broke through with
/ irresistible force, and swept clear away
every obstruction To its progress tol
nearly half Il mile. About Il quarter OF
il mile below the pond the turnpike
road crosses the dinglc on an emhank
mrut and few hundred yards further
on the Munmouth>hiie canal is carried
in similar way. y high wall oi
masonry has been built up on either
side. with Il large arch beneath to allow
the flow of Il small brook and Il portion
of thc overflow from the pond. still
further below. and nearly parallel with
the canal. runs the river Ebhw. which
has flooded its banks throughout the
whole district. Between the rivcI and
the canal is Il factory for the mamuf,r-
turc of Welsh flannel. kept 10y Il man
