A Sad Tale from the Sea.

Mrs. George L. Hunter, the wife Of
Captain Hunter, of the schooner Thomas
J. Lancaster, which was wrecked north
Of Cape Hatteras, has returned home to
Philadelphia widowed and childless,
having left the bodies of her husband
and three children buried in the North
Carolina sands, near the burial place OF
four seamen and the second mate. Tied
high up 10 the rigging Of the Lancaste +,
while the strong vessel was pounding
herself to pieces, Mrs. Hunter saw her
infant child torn from her arms by the
sea. which had only moment before
swallowed up her husband and his
eldest daughter, and still clinging, wet
and nearly frozen to the mast, the
heart-broken woman heard above the
roar Of the sea a plaintive, sobbing cry,
"Mamma, come save me-" which tol d
her that one child still lived. Through
twelve hours of wind and rain and dark
ness Mrs, Eunter battled against the
ropes which obstinately saved her life
BY fastening herself there out of reach
Of the storm and Of her child, who died
even after succor came, and the five
survivors Of the ill-fated ship were
brought to land. When the captains
body was found, mis- pocket had been
robbed of $75, which he had secured
before leaving the cabin when the
vessel struck the reef. The poor woman
was thus left destitute, but not friend
less, for she met kind assistance from
Lieutenant Newcomb, Of the United
states army, and keeper Midget, Of the
life-saying station, who made her as
comfortable as it was possible to do in
that uncivilized place.

Reed. Bird shooting in Delaware.

As they Sc southwark in 1.-The fall,
our favorite meadow singers, the bobor-
links, take to the marshes and become
reed birds, much sought after by sports
men and pot hunters. At Chester,
Delaware, the headquarters of the bird
shooters Of the State, there are forty
professional ''pusher,." The shooting
begins the first Of September. The
Philadelphia 1Ssoes makes brief esti-
mate Of the results OF a months shoot
ing. At Chester, at the Lazaretto, and
the two hundred club houses that line
both banks Of the Delaware from
League Island to Marcus Hook, there
will be at least nine hundred shooters
daily. At the former two places 1000
birds daily-taking the scores of those
who push themselves and of the pro-
fessional shooters will be killed.
Eight hundred gunners daily from the
private club houses is but q fair count,
and, giving them each score OF 10 birds
daily, the total will be 10000 birds
killed every day in the month Of Sep
tember, an aggregate Of 100000 scored
at the above places alone. This is but
meager approximation OF the grand
total, probably ranging over 1000, 600
when the marshes from Bombay Hook
to Bordentown are included in fhD

After the Frost.

After the frost Oh, the rose is dead
And the weeds lie piled in the garden-bed,
And the peach trees shade in the wan sun
shine, l~
Faint as the veins in these hands Of mine,
Streaks the gray Of the orchard wall
Where the vine rasps loose and the last leaves
fall
And the bare boughs writhe and the winds are
lost
After the frost-the frost
After the frost Oh, the weary head
And the hands and the heart are quieted,
And the lips we loved are locked at last
And kiss not back, though the rain falls fast
And the lashes drip and the soul makes moan
And on through the dead leaves walks alone
Where the bare boughs writhe and the winds
are lost H Ftag

If thou shalt be in hear. a child,
Forgiving, tender, meek and mild,
Thou with light stains Of earth defled,
Oh, soul, it shall be well.
1t shall be we'll with thee indeed,
Whate'er thy race, thy tongue, thy creed,
Thou shalt not lose thy fitting need;
1t shall be surely we'll.
Not where, nor how, nor when we know,
Nor by what stages thou shalt grow;
We may but whisper faint and low,
1t shall be surely well.
It shall be well with thee, Oh soul,
Though the heavens wither like scroll,
Though sun and moon forget to roll
Oh, soul, it shall be well.
