And the dog was off like flash, straight
toward the water. Fannie and George
followed as quickly as possible, and when
they came in sight of the dog he was
bowling, picture of despair, on the
beach,
My Cod" said George, she has lost
the scent In with you, sir; to the Rock
cave" and he then threw off his coat
and boots and prepared to follow him.
Bruce's great black head alone was visible
now, ana sometimes that was out of sight.
He had disappeared inside the cave, and
George could hear him whining and bark
ing inside, and, hoping against hope, and
and there on a ledge, or shelf, was our
darling baby, just awakened, and looking
Overwhelmingly around her at the waste of
waters where she had left everything high
and dry when she sailed off to dreamland.
George swung himself up, and clasping
her in his arms, thanked God for His
mercy. 1t seemed almost miracle, but
George remembered the day before show
ing her the rough steps leading up to the
ledge just above her head, and just above
high-water mark, and she had climbed up
and nestled down as contentedly as kit
ten, and had been 10th to get down again.
Bruce long before this had gone back to
the thankful group on the shore, for
Georges joyous Hurrah'' had reached
them, and they knew that all was safe, and
now Fannie appeared at the cave entrance
in her skiff, which she had hastily I'M
fastened, and they went joyfully into
shore.
Well, well, / don't think it will be very
hard to imagine the picture of the naughty
truant who was Rugged, kissed and spoiled
by every one, and scolded not at all.

ACCORDING to Frazers' Magneine the
available force which Great Britain has to
commence campaign abroad or to de
fend the shores of England, Ireland and
Scotland consists of only $3.50 cavalry
30,272 infantry and 100 guns, an army just
about equal in numbers to one of the six
teen army corps into which the land
forces of Germany are at this moment di
vided.
THEY are experimenting in England
with what is known as a water shell. An
ordinary shell is filled with water instead
of an explosive agent. A small cylinder,
containing from quarter to half-ounce
of gun-cotton and a little illuminate OF
mercury, is attached to the fuse and in
serted into the water-filled shell, and,
owing to the almost incompressible char
acter of water, the explosion Of this SEEM
ingly trifiibg charge is said to produce
more violent effects than have been at
tanned by any other means.
To ARMENIA, in Asia, belongs the honor
of discovering that telegraph wires may
be adapted as clothes-lines for laundry
purposes. The practice of hanging linen
to dry on the wires has lately become gen
eral in that country, and revealed the hith-
erto unknown fact that the Armenian
peasantry are in the habit, occasionally, OF
washing their clothes. Much dismay has
however, been caused by an order that has
been issued by the authorities forbidding
the continuance of this arrangement. II
seems that the wires have, on more occa-
sions than one, been broken by awkward
washerwomen, and Sheiket Ettendi, an
Armenian ScudamOre," who has just
been appointed Director of the Telegraph
at Erzeroum, has solemnly declared that
no more shirts, stockings or other gar
ments shall be hung on the wires, on any
pretense whatever.
A SALE is announced to take place next
November at Rome which is Interesting,
not simply on account of the intrinsic
value of the objects to be sold, but still
more from the circumstances to which the
collection owes its origin. Soon alter the
political disturbances OF 1S4S, when Rome
was still in transitory state of ferment,
and mems minds were too much absorbed
by the events of the passing hour to care
for much besides, art languished, and
native artists sank into dependency and
inactivity. AT the moment the Marchese
Campana, who was at that time Doctor-in-
Chief of the Monte dj Pieta, conceived the
happy idea of offering loans to artists who
were willing to pledge their works to the
State. The sIlt was that the halls of the
Pieta were soon filled with large collec-
ton of pictures, statuary, mosaics, in
tagliOs, etc, although none but select and
carefully tested works were accepted. Few
of these deposits have been redeemed.

THE POWER THAT ENDUREs.

AMIDST the changing scenes of time,
Mid lsrcsIc cold and Tropic cline,
Unmovcd by hate or fear:
Thou4h nation rise, or nation wane,
Though seas recede, or mountain-chain
Dlksolve aad disappear
There dwells a. power that's still serene,
Though Time grow old; for, hale and green,
1t feels immortal youth;
This power that measures time ana space,
Nor mortal knows its natal place,
Is Misunderstanding Truth.
II knew the frst-created star;
II saw the sunlight from afar
Spread DER the primal gloom;
Jtlsaw the deluged Earth arise;
II saw great Babel near the skies,
And meet its sudden doom;
II knew the Pharsohs, sons and sire
Itsaw the last OF them expire,
And stood beside his bier;
II was the hand along the wall
In proud Belshazzar's banquet-hall,
That spread appalling fear.
. It saw carved out the Theban gates,
The wonder OF the Worlds estates,
And crumble all alone;
!, OF all the gods on Rome's proud hills;
1t knew the Cesars' throne;
Tt walked with Patriarchs Of yore;
Twas with the Judges when they wore
Their robes from passion free;
Times scroll to Prophets it unrolled
when ftey Of wonders great foretold
The distant years should see.
= 1t heard the man of Love and Tears
Discourse to glad or doubling ears
How souls from guilt might flee;
1t heard Hin speak the august name,
And>fo his listeners proclaim:
"The Truth shall make you free"
It's, this the candid ever seek;
'fwae not alone for stole Greek
Nor for the favored Jew;
IT'S manor to no race alone
No Empire holds it for its own
~ No language, old or new.
Its heritage is with the just;
=, Lis guidance they securely trust
Who battle for the Right;
1t il The pilIared cloud by day,
The ehsit Of fame that leads the way
Through Errors sombre night;
1t is the compass and its star;
I, 'fie Fame that Islander cannot mar;
IT'S wisdom's solid ground;
=, For e the students oil burns low,
With 1t Arts grand creations glow;
IT'S Music's perfect sound.
It is the ring Of metal pure;
II is the landmark, firm and sure,
The beacon on the hill;
1t Is the fountain, strong and clear;
Ills day and night, each season, year,
That Times procession fill.
As grand1y on II spreads its sway,
The sounds OF discord die away,
Nor ancient feud remains;
It guards the weak, controls thestrong,
Defends the Right, condemns the Wrong,
And each just cause maintains.
z u tefls how all, though small or great,
= Or poor or ample in estate,
From one All-Father came;
And they who shun this duty clear,
To aid the sad and helpless here,
No sweet reward may claim
Let Truth be then our noblest aim;
In every action let its name
Our constant watchword be.
- Il may be for q time o'ercast; ~
Fear not, true soul, for, at the last,
1t wins the victory.

THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLICAN,.
A JOURNAL OF NEWS AND POLITICS.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1875.

The REPUBLICAN will begin the New Year with asub-
scrption list greatly increased that of pre-
yious year, and with general business justifying
enlarged arrangements for the publication of hebest
necspapcr ia the West. Having special correspond
ents at all the principal cantres and enjoying the
advantages of extensive telegraph service its fa-
cilites unrvaled for collecting It's corps
of editors and reporters i. very full embracing gem
temen of experience and admitted excellence in
their several departments The editorial tone for
which the REPUBLICAN has achieved much fame
will be maintained and, in the discussion of the
current topics of the day, this journal will aim to
enforce its views with consistency and vigor, but
with moderation and candor
Free to comment upon events in the political world
from a stand point of true Western independence,
the REPoBLIcAN will not disappoint those who look
to it to advocate hereafter the conservative doc
trines for which it has battled long and so
estly. The usurpaticns Of the Washington admins
tration-profigacy ana recAessness by those in au-
thority-the attempt to perpetuate tyranny by the
Capitalization of pOwer-wl meet toleration.
The emancipation of the South from military and
"carpet-bag' domiuati0n-the deliverance of the
West from the bondage Of the Eastern monopolists
these will be matters of profound concern and con
stant attention. But with them the development Of
the vast material interests of the Mississippi valley
progressthe improvement of our national water
ways-in short, the Inauguration of Western and
Southern business policy will engage large share
of the REPUBLGCAN's efforts. The paper will strive
to promote the success of proper measures and of
proper looking for its reward not to the praise
Of party hacks, but to the commendation and en-
couragcment of the whole people.
