LOVE AND DISAPPOINTMENT.

Within my dream this was the thing saw;
A fair green isle midoceanwise that stood,
0'er Yhich . wind blew steady, without flaw.
Aad threw upon its beach tumbling Hood.
Glad was the Isle; n little grove it crowned
Qlswayipg trees its verdue vas that seen
In flush Of Spring, warmer suns the ground
lave whi.ened, or dus. dimmed the tender green
1t seemed to gean and smile within the sun,
To drowse in that warm wind that DER II blew,
And drink the spray, as one when night is done
Leaas half awake % drink the morn like dew.
Naush. else saw but sea !. the whistling wind,
heard, the aged oceans lonely roar,
Until there came bubbling track behind,
A mastless vessel drifting toward that shore.
The sunlight laughed to show its storm stained deck
Piped the warm wind through all its riyen sides
God knows yhat various seas had buoyed that wreck
What shifting currents ve1sdi 4, and what tides
And n: It's bow saw a haggard man,
Who strained or shuddertd rs his sunken eyes
Would now the cleaning beach before them scan,
Nor view the further waves uneHdins rise
Then when his gaze averted from The sea,
Steadfast to where the sweet isle dreaming lay !.
That his worn ship, for ruddcrless was she,
Might reach that Eden did he seem to pray.
Laxily plunged the bark till, current caught,
II whirled, it fed, with it the shore along;
saw him wiring his hands; behind him brought
The wind the scent Of flowers, the brOoklers song.
Nothing was chsaged, nor from its slumbers broke
The isle on reeled amid the shorelsss brine
The ship-and then all vanished, and woke,
And knew, . love, this was my life and thine.

A NEW .dea in sinkers for gill.nets
is being adopted by our fishermen.
1t consists of the use of iron rings
about six inches in diameter, made OF
one eighth inch wire, instead of a lead
line. These rings are attached to the
lower side of the net and no line
except the cork line is used. The
advantage OF this is that when the net
becomes fast upon any obstruction at
the bottom of the river it can be de-
tached with the loss of a ring or two,
whereas, in many Instances where a
bottom or lead line is used, and it be
comes entangled upon snags or other
distractions, many fathoms Of both
line and net are lost before it is clear
ed. Elston Wing. EThis seems to
be a good idea, and there is doubtless
wisdom in the plan, and it would be
advantageous to our fishermen to adopt
a similar method.
