SATURDAY NIGHT.

The supper is over, the hearth is swept,
And, in the wood fires glow,
The children cluster TO hear a tale
OF that time so long ago
When grandmamma's hair was golden brown
And the warm blood came and went
Ger the face tnat could scarce have beer
sweeter then,
Than now in its rich content.
The face is wrinkled and care-worn now,
And the golden hair Is gray
But the light that shone ia the young girl'
Has never gone away.
And her needles catch the fires light,
AS in and out they go,
With the clicking music that grandma loves,
Shaping the stocking toe
nd the waking children love it, too,
For they know the stocking song
Bring many a tale to grandma's mind,
Which they shall hear ere long.
But it brings no story OF olden time,
To grandma's heart tonight
Only ditty, quaint and short,
Is sung by the needles bright.
"Life is a stocking" grandma says,
"And yours is just begun
But am knitting the toe of mine,
And my work is almost done.
"With merry heart we begin to knit,
And the ribbing is almost play;
Some are gray colored, and some are white,
And some are ashen gray.
"But most are made of many a hue
With many a stitch set wrong,
And many row to be sadly ripped
Ere the whole is fair and strong.
"There are long plain spaces without a break
That in youth are hard to bear;
And many weary tear is dropped
AS we fashion the heel with care.
'But the saddest, happiest time is that
We court and yet would Shun.
When our Heavenly Father breaks the thread
And says that our work is done"
The children come to say goodnight,
With tears in their bright young eyes;
While in grandma's lap, with broken thread
The finished stocking lies.

A TERRIBLE TALE OF SHIpwRECK.-
letter was received in Boston, Tuesday, from
Capt. Kane of the American schooner f. e.
Mcdonald of Belfast. dated at Goree, West
Coast of Africa, Jan. "a, stating that on his
outward passage from Boston, whence he sail
ed Dec. II, he fell in with the wreck of the
British barque Maria, Capt. 9rayson, having
on board only two of crew of IA men, the
others having persisted from exposure and
want. The wreck was discovered in lat 81 %,
lon. 80 30, with masts gone and full of water.
The men were taken on board, but one of them
died in four hours hour hours after. From the
survivor it was learned that the barque was
bound for Belfast, ireland, from Doboy, Ca
that she sprang aleak in gale and filed with
water, so that it was impossible to obtain any
provisions or fresh water. The lumber with
which the vessel was loaded prevented her
from sinking, but the weight of her masts turn
ed her upon one side until they broke away.
When she righted the men reganed the deck,
but having no food they soon began TO die of
starvation. As soon as one died the rest sub
sisted upon his flesh, and so on until only two
were left. The survivor, whose name is James
McLinden, and who belongs in Belfast, Ireland,
states that it was only small portion of the
dead body that could be eaten, viz, the heart
and brains. which were the most palatable.
No ore person was killed by the others, but the
moment one died his companions cut his throat
and drank his blood, and then divided his
heart and brains, 1t was 80 days from the
time the disaster occurred until the wreck was
sighted by the schooner as above stated, and
during all this time her unfortunate crew had
not drop of water or any other food than the
bodies of their dead shipmates.

Hall last evening as temperance lecturer. Mr.
Haynes is very well known in this city, and the
announcement that he would lecture on tenn
perance drew very good audience. Although
embarrassed 10 some extent by seeing large
number of his old associates before him, Mr..
Haynes acquitted himself very creditabiy. Mr..
Haynes is evidently well educated man, and
he gives very interesting lecture. He makes
very strong appeal to those who have associat,
ed with him in the past to now follow his ex'
ample ard reform. Those who have said hard

should now be as willing to speak good word
for him in his new career.

The Coffee House Concert.

The concert given at City Hall last evening,
under the auspices of the Women's Temper
ance Society, was very pleasant affair, and
greatly enjoyed by those present. The pro-
granme was well arranged and carried out.
Unfortunately the attendance was not so large
as the merit of the concert and the worth of
the object for which it was gotten up deserved.
The overture, from Weber's "Oberon," given
by three pieces, violin, violoncello, and piano,
was fitting prelude to the choice selections.
The appearance of Mr.. Wulf Fries in the
second number of the programme, the solo for
cello, "Air Basquiers, was the signal for
warm applause. In the time which has passed
since Mr.. Fries visited Portland, his artistic
powers have suffered no decline, and the great
instrument walled under his touch with the old
sobbing persistence. His solo was perhaps the
most thoroughly enjoyed of the evening selec-
tions
Mrs. Gates, forsaking the programme, made her
bow in selection from Rossini, and displayed
very sweet, cultivated, though not powerful
voice. Her personal beauty and unaffected
manner added to the warmth of the welcome
which her pleasant voice provoked Her
second selection, Gounod's Gave Maria,
strengthened the favorable impression, and the
who's at my Window" called forth an en-
core to which she responded with "Happy Lit
tie Mad''
Miss Harris, the pianist, quite justified the
expectations entertained of her merit, by her
solo, LISTS 'Rhapsodie Hongroise," mo. p,
showing much strength and delicacy of touch,
and marked perfection in technique She play
ed with great spirit, and approved herself an
executante of ample promise. In response to

Mr.. August Fries violin solo, Beriot's
seventh concerto, was favorably received, de-
| spite the strident bowling, and was given with
brilliancy and fervor. The concerted pieces

| added much to the attraction of the second
part of the programme.
