THE SEA OF LIFE.
BY CAIRO LAKY.

stood on the shore and looked far out,
Far out DER the moaning sea;
nd the great sad waves, in their playful rout,
Rolled on, nor needed me-
nd leaned for rest on the shelterlng rock,
On the rock by the moaning sea;
And the great waves rolled, as they seemed
mock
At the sadness that fell on me.
For thought of thoscwho had sailed away
Far DER the moaning sea-
With the longing hope for coming day
That would bring them back to me.
Then the lengthcning shadows, calm and still,
Shut out the great blue sky;
While the looms wild Shrek, and the whipp1oi
will,
Sang the evenings lullaby.
And thus it is. have looked far away
Away over Life's great sea-,
Vainly in search of some golden day
Laden with joys for me.
And I've watched the dearest ones Of earth
Sail out out on LIES great sea;
And the waves rolled on their playful mirths,
But brought them back to me.
But the day will come the closing day,
When over this moaning sea,
will launch my boat, and sail away
To the dear ones gone from me.
And I'll lean my head on the sheltering Rock,
On the Rock that by Faith I'll see;
And though the great sad waves may mock,
know twill be 1roU with me.

Perfection of Chinese Cooking,

Americans who dine with the Chinese are
surprised at the perfection to which they
have carried their cooking. During recent
Chinese banquet at San Francisco an orange
was lid at the plate of each guest, the orange
itself looked like any other orange, but on
being cut open was found To contain within
the rind five kinds of delicate jelies One
was at first puzzled 10 explain how the iellies
got in, and, giving up the train of reflection
Was in worse quandary to know how the
pulpy part of the orange got out. Colored
eggs were also served, in the inside OF which
were found nuts. icllies, meats and confec
tionery. When one of the Americans pres
rnt asked the interpreter 10 explain this
legerdcmai7 Of cookery, he expanded his
mouth in hearty laugh and shook his head
saying: "Mehcan man heap smart; why he
not findCc out?"

For some years past, Prof \, Graham Bell,
professor Of vocal physiology IN Tie Boston

might talk 10 each other by word OF mouth
orr the TELEGRAPH wires. His invention hav

Salem office, between which ana Bostun-a

carried on with the most gratifying success

distinctly heard in Salem, ana wee versa. The

tended to convey the sounds 10 Salem, the IN.
expected extent of its utility was exceedingly
wonderful A further experiment was finally
tried, as follows: The Boston operator talked
with the salem operator via Portland-that
is, the sound Of Prof. Bells voice was con-
viewed to Portland and thence back as far as
Salem, distance Of about2 0mlles. Atthis
distance the words could not be distinguished
but the sound of talking was heard by Mr..
Watson, at Salem, family, as If Of some one
speaking on the other side OF door, The
apparatus, as above stated, h"wever, was not
adapted to conveying the sounds to such
great distance, and the experiments made are
held to be adequate proof that any gwen dis
lance can be annihiliatcd by the use of pro
poruonatey powerful magnets. The trial IS,
therefore, considered to establish the great
utility of the invention, and It's success I'M.
doubiedy marks an era in the history of the
telegraph. Among those present at the Bos-
ton office, yesterday, during the progress of
the experiments, were Gen, a. +. Rockwell,

Many years ago n gentleman from the town
of Mcthuen Mass, while on visit to pro
mincnt merchant in Boston, was asked by
the merchant if he knew boy in Melhuen
whom he could recommend 10 work in his
store. At first the gentleman could think Of
none for he knew none but II faithful, honest
boy would suit tho thrifty merchant AT
length, however, he called TO mind a boy ui
excellent character in his neIghborh0od, but
feared he would hardly do, rs his parents
were very poor and he had no education or
other advantages to fit him for such a posi-.
ton.
But the description of the boys habits
pleased The merchant SO much that he hand
ed the gentleman 81 with which to pay the
boys fare 10 Boston by stage, and requested
him to send the lad to the city, and ii on per.
sonai interview all should not prove satisiac-
tory, he would pay his fare back home again
The gentleman, rs requested, visited the boy
parents, and stating the merchants proposal,
advised them to send the boy for trial. He
then gave HIM the 81 which was sent to pa J
his fare 10 Boston and departed.
Under similar cases ninety nine out Of every
hundred boys would have said: Now for n
good time | never saw city and never rode
in the stage. Oh, there will he SO much Ia
see, and it Will be such a long ride, and here
Us money sent To pay my fare" Not so with
this boy. Putting the money carefully in his
pocket he said to himself: This is the first
dollar ever had; how | wish could save
| it. 1t is only twenty-five miles To Boston.

my dollar.
| His mother patched up his clothes AS wei
as she could, and early next morning the lit
tie fellow parted with the parents at the door
of the humble home and set out on his Ions
tramp Ia the great city, which he reached
tired and dusty, little before sunset. II,
soon found the merchant, who slernly asked
"Whcrc have you been all day. The stag,
came in two hours ago The boy though
he had diSplcased the merchant at the outset
and with doWnCast head and tremulnus yoic,
he answered: 81 did not come on the stage
Sit" Did not come on the stage! What d,
you mean? Didn't / send money 10 pa,
your fare;"
The boy thought it was all up with hin
sHTe, and amid gathering tears, he managed
10 reply, II am very sorry, sir; | did no
mean 10 offend you. | thought would wall
and save the dollar. Inever had one before.

the merchant replied: My little man, yor
