A DEPARTTNG SHIP.

AcooL, wide stretch of ocean lies,
Along the sunlit, shining land,
And cloudless depths of purple skies
Bend down on either hand.
Dim woods show dark on yonder height,
And gray rocks crown rugged steep;
And glowing in the golden light
A ship sails DER the deep.
/ SIT and wonder of her fate;-
To what far country is she bound;
If favoring winds will for her wait
Or storms surge wildly round.
gaze upon the tropic sea
That parts before her rapid way;
hear the cyclones whistle free
Among the driving spray.
Far off, where burns the Southern Cross,
She rounds a tempest haunted cape;
Black waves against its masses toss,
Black clouds its cold rocks drape.
Palm crowned the distant islands lie,
The murmurouswavess sing soft and low
As, while the fragrant winds sweep by,
They slowly ebb and flow.
The shores are rich with radiant blooms
And vague and deep the coral sprays
Amid the silent opal glooms
Their snowy whiteness raise.
Here, like misty cloud that pales
When mornings glory through the night
Sends far its amber beams, her sails
Pass utterly from sight.
The lonely water sinks and swells,
The gray gullS linger near the shore;
Their low cries sound like sad farewells-
VIII she come back no more?

A Bitter Dose for Niagara Hickman

A NIAGARA FALLS hackman bar
gained with two young men to take
them " all around " for dollar. Re-
turning to the railroad station, he in
sisted, as they all do, upon having more,
and would be satisfied with nothing less
than eight dollars. The money was
paid under protest; but the young men,
instead of leaving the place as they had
intended, put up at hotel with the APP
parent intention of remaining some
time. The hackman was arrested, and
after a delay of one day the case was
tried, and the result was a judgment
against him for the eight dollars, the
hotel bill of the two young men, who by
the way were lawyers, the value of the
time they lost, together with costs,
amounting to between forty and fifty
dollars. -RocheSter Express.

PROBABLY there is no public criminal
so bitterly execrated by all mankind. as
the driver of street sprinkling wagon.
The other day on Market Street one of
those blots upon our boosted civiliza-
ton observed a fat old Dutchman stand
ing with his back to the curbstone
apparently absorbed in the enjoyment
of his pipe. The sprinkling fiend
sneaked up to within few feet and
deluged his victims feet and pants with
Spring Valley. The driver almost
tainted with rage when the exultant
chuckles of the bystanders appraised
him that he had simply washed the dust
from a cigar store sign.-San Fran
