GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND.

A remarkable instance of presence of
mind on the part Of the captain of man.
of.war is related by the St. Petersburg
papers. About the end of August the
Russian war frigate Olaf, which had &C.
companied the yact of the Czerewitch to
Copenhagen, was lying at anchor among
hundreds of other ships in the harbor
when fire was discovered in coal eel.
lar below, which was only few feet from
the powder magazine. There was no
time to put out the fire before it could
| reach the magazine, and an explosion of
the large stores of cartridges and gun
powder contained in it would probably
have destroyed not only the Olaf and the
surrounding ships, but part of Copen-
hagen itself. Captain Rehbinder, the
commander of the Olaf. saw at once that
the only thing to be done to prevent a
catastrophe was to sink the ship. After
sending away the crew with the ships
papers, cash boxes and most valuable in.
struments in boats, he ordered the car
! penters and engineers to make leak in
the vessel, aud half an hour afterward
she sank in not very deep water. Next
day she was raised again, and after some
provisional repairs was taken to Cron-
stadt, where she is now lying in dock
pending her complete restoration for ser.

comparatively tritling, and the court

He is keepinga wonderful secret
= You'd give half your kingdom to know.
Now kiss him on the cheek and forehead,
And kiss him on the lips and chin,
The little red mouth is hiding
The rarest pearls within.
All seel when the lips in smiling
Have parted their tender red;
Do you see the tiny White jewel,
Set deep in it's coral bedS
Now where are the sage reporters,
Who wait by hamlet and hill,
To tell the listening nation
The news of its good or ill
Come weave with your idle gossip
This golden blossom OF truth
Just halt year old this morning,
And one little pearly tooth.

POETRY:
ONLY a WOMAN:

Only a woman, shriveled and cold
The play ofthe winds and the prey of the cold!
Cheeks that are Shrunken,
Eyes hat are sunken, ,:''
Lips that were never O'erbOld;
Only woman, fOrsaken and poor, .
Asking an aims at the bronze church door.
Hark to the organ l. roll upon roll
The waves OF its music 60 over her soul
Silks rustic past her
Thicker and faster;
The great hell ceases its toll,
Fain would she enter, but not for the poor
SWlngeth wide open the bronze church door.
Only Woman--waiting alone,
lclly cold on an ice cold throne,
What do they care for hel
Mumbling prayer for her,
Giving not bread but stone.
Under old laces their naughty hearts beat,
hooking the woes of their kin in the street.
: Only woman--in the old days,
Hope caroled to her her happiest lays;
Somebody missed her,
Somebody kissed her,
Somebody crowned her with praise;
Somebody faced up the battles Of life
Strong for her sake who was mother, or wife.
Somebody lies with a tress of her hair
Light on his heart where the death-shadoWs
are:
Somebody waits for her, ~
Opening the gates for her,
Giving delight for despair,
Only woman-nevermore poor
Dead In the snow at the bronze church door
BY Hester A. Benedict in Home Journal.

TO KEEP GATE-POSTS FROM SAG
GINq


Various contrivances are adopted for
this purpose. Stones are rammed into
the hole; fat stones placed against the
inner face, etc. The simplest, easiest,
and best way is thus explained: The
hole is dug like ditch, say six or seven
feet in the direction in which tie gate
hangs. Set in the post about the middle
of the oblong hole. Place a piece of tim
Der about three feet long firmly against
the bottom, from the gate. Fill in the
earth and pound it hard and solid, es-
pecially around the horizontal stick of
timber. When the hole is about two
thirds filled, place another similar tim
Der on the other side, and beat the earth
about it as with the other. Fill the hole,
hang the gate, and it will never sag. 1t
cannot. There is no pressure that you
will ever put on the gate that will ever
push the lower outside timber endwise
through the solid soil nor crowd the
other endwise in an opposite direction.
Sometimes a poor way is adopted. of
placing the short timber across the post,
but this is far inferior to the mode we
have described. Red cedar would do
we'll for the buried timber, but as it is al
ways from air any hard wood will answer,
and will not rot.
