A FAREWELL.
WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

o thou, whose cherished image seems
A portion of my heart,
Whose ewes of light make glad nay dreams,
Farewell, for now we part.
The sail is swelling in the bay
That bears me on my distant way,
For years to rove the dreamy sea
For years-and think only OF thee.
Yet will that beauteous image make
The dreary sea less drear,
And thy remembered smile VIII Wahe
The hope that tramples fear.
When shall face the tempeSts wrath,
Or struggle through the dangerous pain
Where the blue Icebergs vast ana steep,
Drifting and dashing, crowd the deep.
Then, too, when heaven with clouds Is darh
And wild winds sweep the vale,
Wilt thou not think of him whose barque
Strives with the polar gale?
Wilt thou not think, and softly pray
For the sea wanderer far away,
That, all his tolls and perilS DER,
His hand may clasp thy hand once more?
But shouldst thou hear no more OF me,
Or hear tn have died
AND sleep within that icy sea,
Or on its desert side,
Will not pang thy bosom press,
Even in thy pride of lOveliness-
A tear in thy sweet eyelids shine
For him whose latest thought was thine?

There is a North Carolina fisherman and

the coast His name is Evans ONeil, and
he lives off Nag's Head, where the Huron
went down. 1t appears to us that he should
have been born on the Long Island coast
and have been set as jewel in the native
civilization OF Queens and Suffolk. He saw
the Huron running ashore. He saw her
strike. He saw her going 10 pieces. He saw
and heard her crews frantic efforts TO help
themselves and get help. He was within a
few minutes of the lie saving station.
What did the noble man do? He drove
inland with his oxen. Said nothing, ate a
hearty meal, and returned three or four
hours afterward. Then the vessel was a
wreck and her crew were coming ashore
dead. Whereupon Evans ONeil, with his
coast line compatriots, bravely set TO and
robbed the bodies of their money, rings and
watches. Tney are all like him along that
shore, but he hsppens TO be the first fellow
who saw and might have prevented the

DIR. Johnson "a a Man.

No man, said one who knew him, loved
the poor like DIR. Johnson. His own per-
sOnal expenses did not reach G1O0 a year, but
his house in Bolt court, after Hle receipt of
the pension, became a home for as many
helpless as he could support and aid. In
the garret was Robert Levet, who had been a
waiter at a French coffee house, and had
become poor surgeon to the poor. He was
unable to help himself, when Johnson be-
came his friend and gave him share of his
home, with freedom toexercise his art freely
in aid OF the POOR. Levet was Johnson's COM
paniOn at breakfast, lived with him for 80
years and died under his sheltering care,
never allowed to think of himself as poor
dependent, never regarded by true
hearted Samuel Johnson. Not one of these
companions was allowed to feel dependence;
most of them had soured tempers, and they
quarreled with one another, but each
felt the whole sweetness of John
sons nature. When he was asked
why he bore with them so quietly
his answer was, eff l did not shelter them
no one else would, and they would be lost

4. Anderson Herald: In the history of the
trial conviction and execution of the Indian
murderers in this couRty in 1924, it will be
remembered that one of the murderers, John
Bridge, Jr., was at the last moment reprieved
by the governor, on account of his youth
amid the delight of a large multitude then
present. Nothing was heard of him after
ward, and it was reported and generally be-
lieved that he had died from the great nefv-
Gus strain and excitement he had passed
through shortly afterward. 1t has lately
been ascertained to a certainty that this is a
mistake, and that Bridge is yet among the
living, and, although at the advanced age of
over70 years, is still hale. hearty man, and
possessed of some considerable property.
His residence at this time, and for several
years past, is at Camden. Carroll county,
some 20 miles northeast of Lafayette.

must be the work of many years. Some
of the more influential horsemen, we notice,
are moving in this direction, and it is to be
hoped their efforts will be crowned with sue
cess. Next in Importance to the race track
is the water course, and trials of speed at
rowing were had on bot h sides of the Allan
tic that awakened more than a passing inter
est. The regatta is surrounded by fewer
temptations to gambling than the horse
race, and is therefore more popular among
polite people. But reform in the manage
ment of these is also needed, for the tenden-
cy is to make them more and more each yeal
contests for profit instead of mere muscular
| superiority. The ball-feld attracted its share
of the public attention. All three of these
sports appear to be increasing in popularit,
every year, and as people will be amused by
these or other similar means, it behooves
those who are interested in their success t.
make them, as far as possible, fit for the pat

In speaking of the policy of the govern
ment towards Mexico, Secretary Evarts said
the other day that he fully realized the neces-
sity for using every possible means to put
an end to outrages on the Texas border, but
that if he adopted such means, Congress
would not support him. This is gratuit-
GUS insult. Had Mr.. Evarts pursued any
but the most craven policy towards the rob-
bers of the border, he would not have lacked
Congressional support. The truth of the
matter is, the government of the United
States, by its cowardly, despicable policy,
has invited and encouraged insult not only
from Mexico, but from every other nation
on the globe. American nationality is q
laughing stock all over the world, simply
because of the contemplate imbecility of

MONTREAL, July "a meeting of justices
of the peace of the city and district, took
place to-day, to consider the best means of
preserving the peace on the twelfth of July.
Two hundred magistrates were present. The
mayor offered resolutions which were adopt
ed, regretting the Orange association per-
sisted in the determination to celebrate in
Montreal events distastefui to the majority
OF its inhabitants, declaring it unwise and
inexpedient to call out the military except
when the civic forces are inadequate, and
recommending the mayor to issue at once
proclamation to forbid all assernblages or
gatherings on the streets or public places
the twelfth of July, and calling upon the
citizens to aid the authorities to maintain
the peace A resolution that the authorities
be empowered to call out the military
brought on a long and exciting discussion.
Finally it was decided by 40 to Z. that the
magistrates having full confidence in the
mayor, place in his hands all power and au-
thority to preserve the peace on the twelfth
