LIGHT on THE WAVE.

When DER the deep the wild waves wall,
And clOnds are dark on OCEANS sky,
From rocky heiuht TO storm-rent sail,
The rays Of Pharos quick y ny.
Though tossed a'ar from groves and flowers,
With faith In Christ thou need'st not fear
On deepest seas In darkest hours,
The lamp Of hope bids thee good cheer y
A light shines from the shore for thee,
The blessed be ms viii uide thee home,
When night Is on the solemn sea,
And leaping Dillow filings the foam.
The ship goes do"n--the great deeps prey
The li,e boat man by seanen brave!
New dearer far han CLEAN of day,
A headlight bounds upon the wave.
At midnight Tar from friendly sh re,
A helpless soul In darkness cries.
No musl like the dip of oar,
As lanterns flame upon wild eyes
When thou art In great oceans night,
And no ray beams from land to thee,
The shattered waters glow with light
For Jesus walks upon the sea.
b ack waves of Hades cease to roll.
A brightness falls from Jared sky;
Tho "liHht of life " shines on the soul,
The coming Christ says 1T Is !.

MEssRs. EDlroRs: having seen
in yonr paper of the 4th ult., such a
vast difference in the answers of the

The YazOo BullaOziDg.

The Greenwood miss. "Flag," con-
sidering the disgraceful Yazoo County
affair, says: 1--WE are not prepared to
say that the circumstances may not have
justified the procedure; and yet the an
nouncement falls upon our ears as sol
emu as funeral knell. We chronicle
the fact as We would a victory in war,
where the truest, best, and noblest of
our friends had persisted, and the flower
OF our country had been swept away.
Nor can we respond with the shout Of
partisan victory. No mere partisanship
could justify such action-nothing but
the imminently imperilled rights Of the
entire community. lfvictory 1t be, 1t II
a victory of the community, and not Of
the Democratic Party"

Letter From G. M. butcher.

ST. JOINS, N. B Aug. 7.
MEssRs. EDIToRs st. Johns is all
alive and thousands of people are in
the city from the n-ighboring towns to
pay their respects to the Governor Gen.
eral and Her Royal Highn-ss the Prin'
ces Louise. The Vice Regal Party are
followed by thousands when they ap.
pear on the streets in their carriage.
Last night grand torch light process
sisn passed through the streets while
the whole city was illuminated beyond
anything | ever saw. Nobility from all
over Canada are here, and men in
dazzling uniforms throng the streets.
Flags of Great Britain wave from doors
and windows, while like lone wan
derer in a foreign land may be- seen
floating from three buildings the stars
and stripes.
Every turn you take r-minds one
that he is among people who are at
tached to their ruler and from many
lips come the words "God save our
Queen, or God bless our Queen" They
are the most loyal people to their moth
or country in the world. Grand tri-
umpbal arches span the principal
streets on which are inscribed, "Wel-
come to St. Johns, welcome to Louise
Lorne." The whole city is entirely Civ
en- up to royalty and an ordinary son
Of Adams race amounts to but little.
The weather is very fine and for once
there is no fog. The nights are so cool
that two or even three good blankets
are not burdensome.
This is the place to come in summer
time. and sprinklsd among the thous.
ands may be seen occasionally a real
live yankee. There are some here from
Richmond and the far away States Of
the sunny South. This Is a thriving
city and like Chicago has risen from its
ashes to sit on the banks of the Bay of
Fundy, the Queen City of the Maratime
Provinces. Slips from all parts of the
world crowd its splendid wharvrs, and
manufactured goods of all description
from Europe and the United States find
thsir way into the bonded warehouses
and from themes over the different lines
of railroads and up the river by steam
ers to towns and cities in the interior.
St. Johns may he truly called the New
York Of the maratime provincrs. AS |
look out of my window and see men
with overcoats on and ladies wearing
cloaks, while the cool hr1rzrs come in
and fan my cheek think of YOU in
Wilmington, and wish for once that
you could all be transported in an in.
slant of time as was Aladdin and his
wonderful lamp, to this cool refreshing
atmosphere and sleep without mosqui-
toes or pain, leaf fans.
shall leave St. Johns to morrow for
Briar Island, where it will be still cool
.r. have been invited to visit my
Club on the Island and am promised a
warm reception. Should this letter
prove acceptable TO your numerous
readers, will write often.
With great respect,
GEO. NJ butcher.
P. S.-By the way that report in the
Bangor Age was a false report and the
people think the young man must have
been intoxicated. is rnm paper
and the reporter is not reliable.

The Denver (Col.) "News" states
that the Hon. D. 7. Corbn, late Of
South Carolina, visited that city lately,
and was induced by sharper to invest
$4,000 in "silver brick" which were
represented to be very pure and great
bargain. Mr.. Corbin discovered, when
too late, that the brick were of the
basest alloy, and worthless.
