Once More We are at Our Post


Grenada Sentinel.1
Six weeks ago today the Sentinel
made its appearance in an enlarged
sheet, a dream of hope and ambi.
ton long cherished, but blasted as
suddenly, as fatally as was our little
town on that memorable day with
the certainty of yellow fever with.
in her borders. What terrible six
weeks these have been! Let fear,
hope and anxiety, each and all,
answer; let the dismay and fight
of twelve hundred of ourcitizenstell;
let the entire abrogatioD of all bus.
mess speak; let the death of about
240 of our best people have it's
solemn voice; and lastly, let the suf-
turing and anguish of those who
have survived be heard; and alto
&, ther, they will make a tale of woe
seldom realized III the history of
the world. ln saying this, we are
not unmindful ofthe terrible plague
which at various intervals have
ravaged the habitable globe and
carried away its multiplied millions.
The suddennesS with which it came,
and the SEVERITY with which itruled,
will make it an event memorable iu
the history of onr town and a strong
ly marked page in the progress of
American civilization.
The survivors, and we mean by
that all who remained to face the APP
palllng Scourge, are coming ont one
by one upon the streets, like pris-
oners ranSOmed from the grave
pale, ghastly and dispirited yet
thankful that they live to tell tale
of life and death that few have in
terpreted. The fearful struggle of
these last six weeks, in the personal
history of the sad survivors, will
form an episode of anguish and ter
rOr, which the minds of those who
were not present, can not realize,
and the memories Of those whowere,
can never forget.
Once moe, however, tire Sentinel
is again on it's weekly round, and
unless we are mistaken in our cal
culations, will make its regular APP
pearance in some shape, until the
destroying angel shall fold bis sable
wings which have so long hovered
over us, and disappear at the con-
mand of Him who gave him his
deadly commission. Then will the
light of hope and life be ours again.
Then, again will we greet the absent
friends, who, in the distance, have
looked Oh at this unequal struggle,
in silence, tears and earnest,prayeIs,
because it was all that they could
offer.

An hour or two passed at the
office of the recorder Of deaths de-
.velopcd several strange sights.
The office is on the ground floor of
the st. Louis hotel, corner of Royal
and st. Louis streets. While sit
ting there one of the charity wa
gons drove up, containing two dead
bodies, in rough, unpainted pine
cof1ins, drove up for a burial per
nit. One containing woman was
piled upon the top OF other, and
surmounting the ghastly heap sat
a faithful dos and the woman's hus-
band, who accompanied her to pot
ter's field, to note the spot where
laid. Empty coffins had been
brought from the work house and
driven around to the scene of death,
as one might drive around and
gather up so much groceries. The
driver started off at a round trot
through the rain, and after about
au hour returned with two other
bodies for two other permits.

rain water and let it stand two or
three days, stirring the contents
several times. 1t is now ready for

A Cheap Telephone .

To.construct a telephone procure
two pieces of tin sp0uting, about
nine inches long. Over one end of
each glue parchment, or two thick
nesses of very heavy writing paper
pasted together, and dry them near
the fire or in the sun; pierce the
centre of each parchment, when dry,
with a pin; then through the hole
made, run copper wire, about the
thickness of an inch pin; and secure
II 10y means of a piece of heavier
wire. Fasten the two pieces of
spouting to the wall or table, wher-
ever desired, one at either end of
the circuit of communication,
making them stationary, and leav-
ing the open ends exposed so as to
speak into them. Conduct the wire
from tin to tin, looping it up at in
tervals with twine string, SO as to
keep it from touching wood or any
thing that may be conductor.
Draw as tight as possible, and fast
Ell securely at either end. This,
though a home made telephone, has
proved so successful that | can be
called from my study, situated in
the third story, by any one on the
first floor. Through it even
whisper can be heard. The cost is
but trihe.-.UOnthiy Messenger.

An ! Days so dark with Deaths eclipse
Woe are we woe are wei
And the Nights are Ages long,
From breaking hearts, thro' pallid lii
Oh, my God woe are wei
Trembleth the mourners' song,--
A blight is falling on the fair
And hope is dying in despair
And terror walketh everywhere.
All the hours are full of tears,-
Oh, my God woe are we!
Grief keeps watch in brightest eyes
Every heart is strung with fears
Woe are we! woe are wei
All the light hath left the skies,
And the living awe-struck crowds
See above them only clouds
And around them only shrouds.
All! the terrible Farewcllsl
Woe are theyl woe are they!
When last words sink into means
While life's trembling vesper bells
Oh, my God! woe are We!
Ring the awful undertones!
Not a sun in any day!
In the nighttime not ray
And the dying pass away
Dark SO dark above below
Oh, my God woe are wei
Cowereth every human life,-
Wild the wailing to and fro
Woe are all ! woe are we!
Death is victor in the strife;
In the hut and in the hall
He is writing on the wall
DoOms for many--tears for all.
Thro' the cities burns a breath,
Woe are they! woe are we!
Hot with dread and deadly wrath;
Life and Love lock arms in death,
Woe are they woe are all
Victims strew the Spcctrc's path;
Shy-eyed children softly creep
Where their mothers wall and weep
In the grave their fathers sleep
Mothers wait their prayers on high
Oh, my God! woe are we!
With their dead children on their breast
And the Affairs ask the sky
Oh, my Christ woe are wei
"Give the dead, oh, Father! rest
Spare thy people! Mercy! spare ~
Answer will not come to prayer
Horror moveth everywhere.
And the Temples miss the Priest
Oh. my God woe are we
And the cradle mOurns the child.
Husband at your bridal feast
Woe are you! woe are you!
Think how those poor dead eyes smiled !;
They will never smile again
Every tie is cut in twain,
All the strength of love is vain.
Weep' but the tears are weak ms foam
Woe are ye! woe are we!
They but break upon the shore
Winding between Here and Home
Woe are ye! woe are we!
Wailing never-nevermore
All. the dead they are lone,
Just grave, aud just a stone,
And the memory of moan
Pray yes, pray for God is sweet
Oh, my God 7! woe are we!
Tears will trickle into prayers
When we kneel down at His feet
Woe are we woe are wei
With our crosses and our cares.
He will calm the tortured breast,
He will give the troubled rest
And the dead He watcheth best.
