thc letter upon the beach near the scene u

We walked at night the wreck--trewn sand.
We walked and watched the dying storm;
With agsr eve and ready hand

And As we walked. the guard and IL.

All Kind. Of things one hnds on deck.
From out this scattered wreckage waste

A dainty monogram wa. traced
Aboye the lines the owner wrote:

As If h. only Of mankind
To such sweet title had a claim;
The words were coined her love 10 bind.
Twas written full and crossed sgsin,
Al inierlined with sftertnoughi

Than cen the sea could yet have wrought.
MY darling" there fold was pressed.
The words just here were fsinter yet,
A. though 'iwer. born upon his breast,
A przed and sacred amulet.
Anon she wrote her hopes and fears.
OF hckle fortunes smile or frown,
OF homeiikc JOYS In comm. years.
" hen they were wed sId settled down."
She spoke OF Spring and Easter flowers,
OF siik and .aiin for her bonnet,
or -ick friends. funerals. marriage dowers,
Her new suit and the trimmings on il.
And so ihi. unknown maiden wrote
Her loving letter TO its end,
And little dreamed the waves would aoAt
Her writing TO strangers hands.
Somewhere tonight grlish face

somew here n woman prays for grace
And strength el soul her load ~ bear.
Some here along the wintry cosst
Her hopes lie buried in the sand.

A. f. STEwART's EXPERIENCE.-The
late A. I. Stewart once came to the con-
clusion that, although advertising was
good thing as a ladder, it was of no great
benefit to him, as his name sold his goods.
To test iS. one department of his establish
ment was advertised. Its business over
topped that OF the others, SO immediately
and so largely that Mr.. Stewart concluded
that to get the lull power OF lffs name it
must appear in printers ink. His adver-
tislng manager says from that time he
advertised more largely than ever in the
papers"

Beautiful Flowers.
Beautiful Flowers! wherever We bloom,
With your soft tinted leaves. aud your fragrant
perfume.
Whether In Spring. ye come forth from the
ground.
Or when Autumn scatters her dead leaves
around.
Whether in cottage or place ye dwell,
Beautiful Flowers love ye well.
Beautiful Flowers We seem to be
Link'd la the fond ties Of memory!
Companions We were to our childhood's day
Companions ye are TO our lifeless clay;
And barren and dead were this vide world Of
ours.
Lscking the smile OF the Beautiful Flowers!
