My Ship.

Down to the wlarves a. the sun goes down.
And the dayghts tumut, and dust and din
Are diving away in the busy town.
go to see ifmy ship comes in.
I gaze far over the quiet sea,
Rosy with sunset like mellow wine,
Where ships, like lilies, lie TRANQUILITY,
Many and far-but see not mine.
l question the sailors every night
Who over the bulwarks idly lean,
Noting the sails as they come in sight,
"Have you seen my beautiful ship come in?'
"Whence does she Gomez" they ask of me,
''Who was her MASTER and what her name?"
And they smile upon me pityingly
When my answer is ever and ever the same.
Oh mine was vessel of strength and truth,
Her sails We're white young lambs fleece.
She sailed long since from the port of outh,
Her master was Love, her name was Peace.
And like all beloved and beauteous things,
She faded in distance and doubt away,
With only trembe of snowy wings,
She hoatcd, swanlike, adown the bay,
Carrying with her precious freight,
All had gathered by years of pain;
A tempting prize to the pirate Fate,
And still watch for her back again.
Watch from the earliest morning light,
Till the pale stars grieve o'er the dying day.
To catch the gleam of her canvas white
Among the islands which gem the bay.
But she comes not vet-she will never come
To gladden. my eyes and my spirit more,
And my heart grows hopeless, and faint and dumb
AS wait and wait on the lonesome shore,
knowing that tempest, and time and storm,
Have wrecked and shattered my beauteous bark !;
Rank seaweeds cover her wasting form,
And her sails are tattered, and stained and darl
But the tide comes up, and the tide goes down,
And the daylight follows the nights eclipse
And still with the Sailors tanned and brown,
l wait on the wharves and watch the ships.
And still with patience that is not hope,
For vain and empty it long hath been;
/ sit on the rough shores rocky slope,
And watch to see if my ship comes in.

My neighbor's house is not so high

And though the curtains fine,
It's only muslin, and the steps
Are not of stone at all
And yet | long for her small home

Her lawn is never left to grow
The children tread it down,
And when the father comes ut night,
| hear them clatter down
The gravel walk; and such a noise
Comes TO my quiet ears,
As my sad hearts been waiting for
50 many silent years,
Sometimes peep TO see them seize
Ills coat and hand and knees
All three SO anxious to be first
And hear her call, ''Don't teaze

And then the low brown door
Shuts out their happiness, and !
Sit wishing as before,
That my neighbor's little cottage
And the jewels Of her crown
Had been my own; my mansion
With its front of granite brown,
It's damask, and its Honiton--
IT'S lawn SO green and bright
How gladly would | give them
For her motherhood tonight.

Death of General r. Il. Bagwell'
of ACpOmaC.

The many friends of General Ed
mund r.. Bagwell in this city anu
throughout the State, will hear with
surprise and regret that he died after
a brief illness at his residence in Ac-
comac county, on Tuesday, the 18th
instant. He was gentleman of great
personal popularity, q genial, whole
suuled man, true in every domestic
and social relation, He was the son Of
DR.. Thomas p. Bagwell, Of Accomac,
where he was born in 1889. Having
received his education at the college of
William and Mary, he always felt a
laudable affection for that hOnOred old
Institution. but was liberal in his SEN
timents towards all our great educa-
tional institutions and to him, in n
large degree, was due the good fortune
of the University of Virginia in re-
ceiving liberal endowment from the
State. During some of the earlier
wears of his life, aud short time after
the war between the States, he was
engaged i'm teaching school. During
! the war he was n brave and gallant
soldier, and rose to the rank OF Adj
! iutant- General OF the Wise Legion.
In 1869 the Conservatives of AccOmac
! elected him to the House of Delegates,
and ne continued to represent the
| county with marked ability until the
| day of his death. In the Legislature
! he was favorite companion OF his
! fellow members, exercising a COM
handing influence in committee, upon
! the floor of,the House. and IN caucuses
of the party. His abilities as deba-
| tor. clear thinker, and eloquent
speaker were most conspicuously dis
| PLAYED In the debate upon the Mary
land and Virginia boundary line ques-
| ton while under consideration hy the
! Legislature i'm the winter of 1915.
| Recognized as leader of the House
he was one of the most prominent
candidates for the Srcakership at the
| opening of the session of 1876, and
was defeated by only a small majority.
When the Conservative State Con-
vention met in this city IA few weeks
ago, he was honored with election rs
temporary chairman of that body aud
at the time of his death his political
prospects were of tiatterlng charao-
! Ter. In his death Virginia loses one
of her most talented and valued sons,
and the Tidewat0r section one of its
ablest representatives. .F.....r.
