And the third boat, which it appeared
was steered by Allen, who had been in

me off.
That night we had stiff gale of wind.
the three boats separated. and the two
commanded by the captain and the mate
were never heard of.
After some very hard work. and being
wet through nearly all the time, we were
picked up. In less than month we were
once more in the Channel, and then it
did not take us long to reach London,
when we took the train to Aberdeen.
The evidence was most conclusive; for,
in addition to what had heard, Allen
had actually watched the two villins

holes which ultimately scuttled the Fal-

Supposed Visit Of Dead Mother to
Her Child.

Elizabeth N j., Herald.
a rather queer story is told, and can be
youched for, by over dozen persons in
Springfield. 1t appears, about three wears
ago, young man living in Summit
County got married. and in due time mis-
wife gave birth to child, which was a
girl. When the child was about one
year old its mother died. About FIVE
months later the young widower became
lonely and took unto himself another
wife. But, before doing so, he took all
his first wife's clothing, packed it in
trunk, locked it up and allowed no one to
have charge of the key but himself.
Among the clothing put away was her
wedding shawl and pillow his wife
made for her frst-born, and also some
toys she had bought just before she died.
Then he brought home wife No. 2, who.
1t IS said, made as good mother as the
average stepmothers do. Things went on
lovely till one night last week, when
there was party at the next neighbours
house. So, after putting the babe in its
little bed, the father and mother No. 2
went over to spend the evening a. the
party. Shortly after they left two men
came along on their way to the party al
SO. They saw wonderful light in the
house, and thought it might be On fire.
They also heard the cries of the babe as
though in great pain. They went to the
house, and, as soon as they reached the
door, the light went out, and all was 81
lent as the grave within. They fastened
to the house where the party was. and
told the man what they seen and heard
in his house as they came by. Five or
SIX men, including the owner of the house,
started to investigate the report. Wien
they arrived, they found every door and
window fast as they were when the owner
left. On going inside, everything was
found to be in its place, except the child,
which, after long search, was found up
stairs under the bed on which its mother
died, covered up with its mothers we'd
ding shawl, and its little head resting on
the pillow its mother made for it, sound
asleep. Along side of it lay its little,
playthings. On examining the trunk it
was found to be locked, and nothing
missing except the aforementioned ar
ticles. Now, how things got out of the
trunk and the key in the owners pocket.
and he half a mile from it, and how the
child got upstairs is a mystery. The above
may sound a little dime novelish, but, as
we said before, the facts in the case can
be and are vouched for by over a dozen
citizens of Springfield.

Dolly:

Where no meek-eyed pansies cover,
Where no outstretched shadows hover,
Where no branches wave;
Out there where the soil is driest,
But where pasture weeds grow highest,
There is Doily's grave.
Who was Dolly? Why, heifer,
Only born to be and suffer,
With no soul to save;
Yet yoioe of earnest pleading
Rises up enforcing needing,
When we pass her grave;
Pleading for the late compassion,
Which to show was ne'er the fashion,
To her on the farm.
She was stupid and ungainly,
Kicked at milking time,-buti mainly
Came herself to harm.
But however black her failing,
To milky whiteness paling
It seemed when she died.
When we saw her PROSTATE languish,
Heard her human groans of anguish,
Fen the milk-maid cried.
Then we felt her faults were venial;
Having been bro't up mental,
Hip-haps and abused;
Why expect poor brute creature
To excel her human teacher,
Used as she was used?
Tho while living we decried her,
Suffering now has sanctified her,
And her graves shrine
Where our humbled tho'ts oft wander,
When on might and right we ponder

with the advent of 1879. The act debars

The Mothers Life.

The mothers life is full of prose
From early dawn till daYlight's close, .
But oft, amid her household cares,
Some little poem unawares
Is written down within her heart,
And of her life becomes a part.
Some loving words child may say,
A golden curl long put away,
A halflworn shoe upon the floor,
An outgroWn dress the baby wore,
A broken toy or faded flower,
May touch the heart-strings any hour.
