A Terrible Story OF Shipwreck.

Chief Officer Foot, Charles Cosman,
seaman, the only survivors of the Ameri-
can schooner Estella, of Portland, Maine,
bound from Yarmouth for the island
of Antigua, West Indies. with general
cargo, have been landed at Falmouth,
England. After leaving port they ex-
perienced terrible weather, tie wind be-
ing very high. They lay to for three
days waiting for the fury of the storm
to subside. One day duliug the early
morning hours heavy sea capsized the
vessel. OF the crew of five men, Cos
man only was on deck, the other four
being below. Captain Hursey and Chief
Officer Foot and the cook came on deck
as she turned over. The survivors
then succeeded in getting on the
side of the vessel. The cook fell off e1-
hausted, after three hours. The captain
succumbed to the exposure and fatigue,
after gallantly holding on until after.
light o'clock in the morning.
The vessel finally, by the action of
the waves, and being full of water,
righted herself. Foot and Cosman
managed with great difficulty to make
their way once more to the vessels
deck. They laid planks on the wind
lass and water barrel, which served as
their bed and resting-place for fifteen
days. Neither of them slept for the
first three days, expecting every mo-
ment that the vessel would sink be-
meath them. On the fourth day bar
rel of apples Aoated from the forehold,
which they succeeded in capturing. The
apples were saturated with salt, and
caused the poor fellows the most in
tense thirst. They also obtained box
of salted mackerel, which they greedilY
devoured.
On the day before they were rescued
q barrel of -four hoated out from the
hold. They made dough of portion
of it's contents, but, a heavy sea spring
ing up, q wave washed it away. The
next day, while the wind was pieroingly
cold and the sun was about going down,
the wreck the unhappy men were float
ing on was seen by the Spanish brig
Dorotea, which bore down upon them.
Soon they came alongside and rescued
the survivors, who were hoping and
praying for death to come to their relief.
When the Spaniards took them off
they had only seven apples left. Two
of them were rotten. They were in such
an emaciated condition that they had to
be lifted from off their plank bed, to
which they had tied themselves to pre-
vent being washed off. They speak in
the warmest terms of gratitude of the
great kindness they experienced at the
hands of their rescuers.

An Eloquent Funeral Grafton.

An old soldier, long since pensioned
off, enjoys his leisure in rearing rab-
bits.
One of tho little creatures bites his
thumb, and, trif;ng as the wound
seems, gangrene sets in and extends,
and amputation is resorted to too late.
An old companion in the 999th Light
Infantry, who had marched shoulder to
shoulder with him in q hundred we'll
fought fields, undertakes TO deliver his
funeral grafton:
"Adieu," the honest soldier cries, in
a voice fairly choked with emotion,
"adieu, brave and gentle heart, thou
that had fought 30 well in Africa, the
Crimea, 1talyl An hundred times didst
thou with impunity brave the leaden
hail that hurtles over the battle field,
and surviye-survive to be killed by q

"Baby's Dead"
Just whisper from the skies,
In the hush Of midnight dreary,
Clasped with peace the aching eyes,
Bore their little sufferer weary
Home, to rest in heaven sweet morrow;
While far round our footsteps spread
Depths Of wild, unwavering sorrow,
Baby's dead
Still around that brow 80 fair
= More than earthly beauty fingers;
Gently smooth the falling hair,
Fold the tiny frozen fingers;
Twine the curls 80 proudly tended
In halo round his head;
Pride and hope alone are ended,
Baby's dead!
Lonely to the hopeless tomb,
Darling child! how shall We yield thee
From it's drear corroding gloom
Love would freely die to shield thee.
Can We bear that dust should gather
Round our darlng's head2
Spare the bitter cup, oh Father,
Baby's dead
Dead and light is quenched in tears;
Hopes that blossomed but to wither,
Sunny dreams Of after years,
Lost in deaths cold gulf forever.
Sun and moon and stars are amitten
With despsir's dark night o'erspread;
Bound the universe is written,
Baby's dead!
Darling, from your slumbers deep,
Mother calls-will you not waken2
In that lone, mysterious sleep,
Do you dream Of hearts forsaken?
Safe where joys ne'er droop and languish.
Are you watching overhead2
Oh, the passion OF the anguish,
Bsby's dead
Peace, at last may hush the strife,
Where no mists Of parting sever;
Ne may greet thee crowned with lifo,
Clasp thee in our love forever.
But, tonight, bereft and lonely,
Yearn ne for our treasure fled,
While wierd echoes answer only,
Baby's dead
.-Mary Bo,oles.

Say Well and Do Well.

Say we'll is good, but do we'll is better;
Do we'll seems the spirit, say we'll is the letter;
Say well is goodly, and helps to please;
But to do we'll ID godly, and gives the world
ease;
Say we'll to silence sometimes is bonnd,
Bnt do we'll is free on every ground.
Say we'll has friends-some here, some there;
But do we'll is welcome everywhere.
By say we'll many to Gods word cleave;
But for lack Of do we'll they often leave.
II say we'll and do we'll were bound in one
frsme,
Then all we're done, ~ were one, and gotten
we're gain.

the skirt drawn back to show a rich
satin petticoat, and tucked up behind
in the style of Louis XIV. At present
they have long trains, but this style ac-
cords perfectly with short skirts. La
dies who adhere to the princess style or
to any of the severe and elegant middle
age patterns wear caps of satin edged
with pearls or lace or swan-down, and
look as if they had just stepped out Of
the illustrations to q Waverley novel.
Neckerchiefs of white blue or pink In
dia muslin trimmed with Breton lace
are made into caps by ladies whose Co.'S
tunes are more modern.
The Breton lace has quite driven out
the Smyra from the shops, but as this
is time when no one fashion seems to
expel all others from the streets, ladies
who have gowns trimmed with Smyra
will probably wear them out in perfect
contentment. Those who dare not do
80 can use the discarded lace for under
clothing or for trimming bed linen, for
each of which purposes it is we'll adapt
ed. The newest Breton lace has fine
scallops on the edge and looks almost
like old.fashioned thread, but costs only
about one-si1th as much and wears as
well. It is used in such profusion that
it's adoption can hardly be called an eco-
nomical measure, but it is very pretty,
and accords equally we'll with bright
or soft colors. Vests made of it and fast
ened at the back of the neck by
looped bows of satin ribbon are made
to wear with high.necked silk dresses,
which need no other trimming on the
waist.
In the street, scarfs of India, well bor-
dered and trimmed with Breton lace are
used instead of furs, and are nearly as
warm; and as it requires some taste to
arrange them becomingly, high collars
and small ties are preferred. A Murillo
ruff, that is to say triple standing rufae
of crepe lisse is liked by many ladies for
housewear, but young girls prefer chem
isettes of tucked muslin and thick
ruches of Brussels net. india muslin ties,
cellarette and neckerchiefs are trimmed
with Breton lace arranged in double
rows, the upper one closely and thelow-
or one LOOSELY plalteu. some very GIG
CANT ties are made of satin embroidered
in colors, and others of loops of satin
ribbon and Breton lace. The last-named
can be easily made at home, but the
others may be bought at such very
small advance on the cost of the material
that it seems foolish to spend ones time
in making them.
Complete suits of pale pink and blue
flannel underwear are nowimported from
Berlin, but are not liked so we'll as white
by ladies of taste. The newest hosiery is
of spun silk, with embroidery of contrast.
ing colors. Lace medallions are now laid
on the instep of the stockings intended
for evening wear instead of forming
part Of them, and the effect is far better.

That's the Difference.

If a man is on the cars and sees q
young lady he doesn't know from Eve,
and never saw before, trying to let down
the window he throws down his paper,
takes off his hat, bows himself double,
smiles clear round to his collar button,
says sweetly: "Allow me?" and closes
the window with graceful skill and
charming courtesy. If his sister says {:
Tom, won't you please let this window
down for me ?" he tucks his paper say
agely under his arm and stalking across
the aisle stands on her feet while he
bangs the window down with slam
that fills her face and hair with dust.
And if his wife, holding the baby in one
arm and a lunch-basket on the other,
tries to let down the window and says
timidly and suggestively "Oh, dear.
don't believe I can get it down." he
grunts, says "Eh ? oh |" and buries
himself still deeper in his paper. That's
what you're coming to, Laura. Bur-
Hngton HaaOkeYe.

Mr.. John B. Cough, in lecture in
England, on the effect of alcohol on the

down on a hornets stimulating,
but not nourishing."

FOR THE FAIR SEX,

There's Jane Sophia,
And Ann Maria,
With Obadiah,
And Jedekiah,
In our choir.
And Jane Sophia soprano sings
So high you'd think her voice had wings
To soar above all earthly things,
When she leads off on Sunday;
While Ann Maria's alto choice
Rings out in such harmonious voice
That sinners in the church rejoice,
And wish she'd sing till Monday.
And Obadiah's tenor, high,
Is unsurpassed beneath the sky;
Just hear him sing "Sweet By-and-Bye,'
And you will sit and wonder.
While Jedekiahs bass profound
Goes down 80 low it jars the ground,
And wakes the echoes miles around,
Like distant-rolling thunder.
Talk not to US Of PATHS fame,
OF Nicolini's tenor tame,
or Cary's alto-but name
Or Whitney's ponderous basso!
They sing no more like Jane Sophia
And Ann Maria, Obadiah
And Jedekiah, in our choir,
Than cats sing like Tomaso

are very simple. The sheep are herded
