LING HUSBAND: l received your letter this
morning, wrote Wednesday, and was very glad

good news instead of worse. o. how sorry l
am Tor you, Pete. l only wish you were here
with me. You might just as well be here as

your pocket. Darling Pete, will try and send
you the money as as possible; perhaps
you can get it tonight, but L IL not be sure If

Fall the dim shadowing of human care,

One day, my eyes made strong to see and

Visions that dawned and staid not, glories

Whose swift evanishment prevokes my
grief
Which vainly stretch after to detain,
One day, one day they shall be mine again,
Garnered and bound in an immortal sheaf.
Sorrows which blessed and suffering blent
with balms.
Love with battling thorn to mar its flower
Hlndrance that helped me, storm embodied

One day shall come, renewed to life and
power,
troop of gracious shape, upbearing palms.
All things which work together for my woe
And wake the mortal heart-ache now shall

Lesley at last consented. That night
the whisky was purchased, and hidden
by Curran in safe place.
The next Gay it was late before Leslie,
found himself on the crowded grounds
where the balloon ascension was to take
place. They were cutting the ropes wher
he got there. A loud, shrill voice. which

In tlle Yosemite Valley.

Just before sslndown We found our
selves on the brink Of an awful chasm.
It seemed as if the earth had sunk across
our pathway. We were On Prospect

Yosemite Valley. Now, while the guide

come close to the edge of the cliff, and,
if your brain be steady enough, look
down into the yawning gulf. Stand still
and let the scene penetrate you. You are
looking into grand and beautiful can
yon, seven miles long and from half a
mile to mile wide, the two sides formed
by vast perpendicular granite walls, from

Rio de la MERGED driver of Mercy, sew
enty feet wide, rolls through the valley,
but it looks from this dizzy standpoint
like narrow silver ribbon. It drops into
the valley at its east end and leaves it at
its west through a canyon so deep, mar
row and precipitous as TO be absolutely
inaccessible The boz tom of the valley
IS nearly level, and is tillei with green
meadows, fields of wild flowers and
groves of grand old pines, oak and pop
lars. But those great trees, with an alti-
tude of 200 feet, look like little green
shrubs from where we stand. Another
grand view of Yosemite is from Inspir-
alton point. There you stand On the verge
of the terrible precipice, with the whole
grand panorama Of the valley stretching
away in matchless sublimity before you.
But from Glacier Point you have the
grandest view of all. Here you creep up

your head projecting over the rocky

A Wonderful Escape.

Ever since Lake Erie has been navigat-
ed by civilized people, especially for the
last century, has she swallowed up large
numbers OF human beings by ship-wrcck
by fire, or by other casualties, and while
many bodies are recovered, there are
hundreds that are never found, and many
that float ashore that are never identified.
Captain Gilman Appleby, of Conneaut,
ONO, was captain and part owner Of the
schooner New Connecticut. An aunt of
his, then residing at Black Rock, below
Buffalo, went to Conneaut to visit her
brother there. After remaining for some
time, she became exceedingly anxious to
get home. Captain Appleby endeavored
to dissuade his aunt from taking the
home journey until he should be going
out with his vessel, when he would take
her On board the schooner to go to Buffalo
in charge of the crew.
Every thing rassed off quietly until
alter the vessel had passed Erie, when a
sudden squall struck and rolled her upon
her side, when she nearly filled with wa
ter, but continued to float. The crew
loosening the vessels yawl jumped in
and pulled fol- the shore, leaving the
woman in the cabin, as thew supposed
drowned. The party landed, and made
their way as best they could back to Con
neaut
Three days after the accident Captain
Wilkins, of the steamboat William Pea
cock, in coming down from Detroit was
besought BY Captain Appleby to board
the wreck if he saw it, and if possible to
get the body o. his aunt in the cabin and
convey it to Buffalo Captain Wilkins
discovered the disabled vessel drifting
down the lake, and altar coming along
side, the first mate of the Peacock board
ed the wreck and made search. The
schooner lay upon her side, and, to all
appearances, was full of water. A pole
was employed, and it was supposed every
part OF the cabin was touched, and the
remains had floated out of the cabin into
the lake; hence further search was given
up.
Two days afterward Captain Appleby
came down with vessel and facilities
to right the schooner and tow her into
the nearest port, the drowned woman,s
son being along to assist in the recovery
OF the body. The vessel was finally right
ed, and when the cabin door had nearly
reached a level position, the woman
walked through the water and came up
stairs upon deck.
She was caught by Captain Appleby
and supported, while her son wept and
the sailors screamed. Five DAYS and
nights she had been in the water, while a
portion of her time she was up to her
armpits. She could not lie down, and
what sleep she got was in that position.
and all the food she had was SOLITARY
cracker and raw onion, which foated
on the water.
She stated that after the vessel capsizea
and was abandoned by the crew, she
found herself alone in the water waist
deep. The cabin door was open, but the
flood was two feet above il, and the sea
made constant changes in her position
When Captain Wilkins stopped, she
could hear the boarding party talk AID
walk on the vessel, and althoug Oh she used
her voice to its utmost to attract attention.

she could not make them hear. She saw
the pole thrust into the cabin door by
Captain Mention, and asked if she should
hold on to it and be pulled out, but no
answer came, the CAPTAIN hearing no noise
other than the splashing of water, and
having not the remotest idea that the
woman was there, alive or dead.

But he shall have who should not have
When the tide of storm is over
Four shall make 6 and not 4,
He who shall be no more,
And all that's past not make score.

This will seem almost incredible tt
many but it is proved beyond doubt thai
| the lines were in existence, and in one
instance published, before Grant left the
Executive Chair. Mr.. Hayes is the nine
teenth President; there has been "battle
smoke" enough in a political sense, when
it is taken into consideration the recent
Electoral frauds. Can the last two lines
by any possibility refer to the sage of
Grammercy park, received at the hands
of the Tribune.
But Columbia shall again
Rise, and faircr be than then (sic).
Brother shall with brother speak
Whom he hath not seen week;
Letters shall go meath the deep,
Likewise over the mountain steep;
Men shall speak to braZen ears,
That shall be mouths in after years,
Words spoken shall be sent through post,
So no syllable be lost;
Adrop of water shall have then
The force of many thousand men.
1t does not take very fancifuI mag
ination to draw from the above clear
indication of Prof. Edison's numerous
wonders Of invention. The alleged motor
of Mr.. Kee!y, the Philadelphia mechanic,
claims to utilize ''a drop of water" with
such effect that thousands of pounds
pressure are obtained.
Much of the next passage is senseless,
and clearly written in imitation Of the old
weirds. Whether the rain falling ''as
men ordain' might not be taken for the
modern weather predictions, is a question
for the individual reader to pass upon.
Ghosts shall guide the pillow, and rain
And snow shall fall as men ordain;
The commonest of stone or stick
Other shall be than long, broad, thick
Here and in a foreign cline
Men shall be at he same time.
Bread we shall from ashes bake,
Ice they shall to diamonds make,
And salt seas their thirst shall Stake.
The conclusion, which looks very
mchh like the time VIII en- sstwo Sundays

as follows:
All these things shall happen, when?
They shall happen-not before
Six years shall be reckoned four,
Thirteen shall be thirty nine;
This shall be the certain sign;
Nine and nine rehersing take,
eight and one the nine shall make.)
When ninety-two and eighty-one
All these marvels shall be done.
a singular explanation Of thisapparent-
ly unmeaning riddle has been suggested
by mathematician named Townsed.
"When ninety-two are eighty-one.' -
Washington took his seat as president in
1889; add ninty two and you have eighty
one Q8SD. This 1881 is also made up of
ones and elghts, forming mines in revers-
ed order. "The "thirteen" may be taken
as abiding to the original number of
States, which the rhymer Cremember that
she is stated to have written in in 1899,
not in 1912 or 1879 would have in her
mind. The recent introduction Of bill
into Congress proposing Constitutional
amendment to extend the term of the
Executive to six years, may cover the
line
