WILD WEATHER. OUTSIDE.

Wild weather outside where the brave ships
And fierce from all quarters the four winds
blow
Wild wea, her and cold, and the great waves
swell,
With chasins beneath them as black as hell
Inc waters irolic in Titan play,
They dash the decks with an icy SPRAY,
The spent sails shiver the little masts reel,
And OH that the sailor were safe once more
Where the sweet wife smiles in the cottage
door.
The little cottage. it shines afar
Der the lurld seas. like the polar star.
The mariner tossed in the jaws of death
Hurts ut the storm defiant breath;
foam,
''Courage' please God. we shall yet win
homes
Frozen and haggard and wan and gray,
But resolute still; 'tis the sailors way.
And perhaps-at the fancy the stern eyes
Somebody's praying to night for him.
How bright the picture that rises plain,
sure he can see, with merry look,
His little maid grooming her spelling book;
lHe baby crows from the cradle fair;
the grandma mods in her easy chair:
While hitLer and You. with II quiet grace,
a woman fits, with an earnest face,
Inc Kitten purs, and the kettle sings.
Rough weather outside but the winds of balm
Forever float DER that isle of calm.
o friends who read over tea and toast
of the Wild nights work on the storm-swept
coast,
Think when the vessels are overdue,
VI the periious VOYAGE, the batflei crew,
OF stout hearts battling for love and home
mid the cruel blasts and the curdIing foam,
And breathe a prayer from Your happy lips
For those who must go ito the in ships -
Ask that the sailor may stand once more
Nhere the sweet wife smiles in the cottage

his collar up to his ears, shrinks up in

case of the State VS.. Anthony, the
opinions Of Judges Freeman and
Turney are reported as the opinion
of the Supreme Court, when in fact
they are dissenting opinions, the
opinion of majority of the court
having been an oral one, the Chief
Justice, Judges Sneed and Mcfarland
having decided that magistrates were
not entitled to fee to write out the
testimony of witnesses. Some of the
magistrates had heretofore claimed
that they had the right to charge one
dollar for the testimony of every
witness written out. The comptroller
has refused to allow such fee because
the Supreme Court has declared they
