THE SHIP OF FORTUNE,
Ny ship, she sails a shifting sea;

Ny ship, she sails a shifting sea;
know not what her fortunes be,
Or if, perchance the cracking blast
VIII ever bear her home;
With head on hand, the livelong day
burn my eyes against the bay
And never see the gallant mast
Across the wheeling foam.
Behind my latticed window-bars
watch at night the floating stars,
And Graded by the rolling sea
The silent hamlet lies;
An ebbing tide upon the sand.
The mighty water rocks the land.
And through the leaning Hnden-tree,
Repeats the crystal skies.
My freighted ship-perchance the gale
Gives battle to her swelling sail,
Her heavinS charger meets the blow
And plunges painting back;
The current swims beneath her keel,
Her scarlet banners writhe and reel,
And in the fOaming flood below
The waters circle black.
Or yet thousand leagues from shore,
The red flames eat her to the core;
She leaps in all her blazoned gold
Along the kissing tide
Her quenchless jewels sink in slime
A treasure for the hand of Time,
And rushing through the empty hold
The ocean claims the bride.
All, friend too long you followed here,
The tagging footsteps Of the year
To watch, beyond the melting bay,
The distant shining sea-
A floating hull from other lands
Came reeling up the yellow sands
A wreck of life. the sailors say:
For you-but not for me.

to England after the termination of the
campaign as Major General Sir George
de Vray.
As for Mile Moyle, she was betrothed
George arrived in London one of the first
things he read in the paper was that the
marriage between this young lady and
his cousin was to take place in a week.
He no longer cared now. He went to
Mr.. Movies house on the very day of
his return in the afternoon and was
ushered into the dining-room, where
luncheon was taking place. He was re.
ceived like a hero, for Mr.. Moyle liked
to be on good terms with successful men,
and Mile was anxious to obtain some
thing like forgivness for her jilting. She
received it fully and freely, so far as
could be judged from the young Gen
erals manner, for he was frank and
pleasant, but after the first greetings
were over, he addressed himself princi-
pally to poor little Gertie Brown, who
sat radiant and trembling.
At last, when a toast had been drunk
to Georges honor and Miles happiness
honest Mr.. Moyle acting as toastmas-
ter-the General drew a parcel from his
pocket and extracted from it Gertie's
book~marker. There were hanging from
it the cross of the Bath, a Victoria Cross
and something elsa wedding ring.

George, approaching Miles little cousin.
"Bravo, Sir George p exclaimed Mil

turned little pale, 81 always said that
Gertie and you were intended for each
other"

''but say, huIlo, what's that?"
There had been a loud knock at the door
md footman entered with a telegram
IN tray. Mr.. Moyle opened the mis-
3ive and uttered an exclamation of horror
md dismay. ''Great heavens, My Lord,
'ead this!'' he faltered.
The telegram announced that the new
Lord Beauvray had been killed in a rail
way accident. So the Indian hero got
lis titles and estates again.
Old Moyle had sunk in chair helpless.
His face was a thing to see.

The Spring Forest Fires.
4 WARNING IN sEAsoN-TEE CARE THAT
SHOULD TIE EXERCISED.

| The drying winds that have lately
| swept over the country should admonish
rural districts to look out for the spring
| visitation of forest fires. 1t is not too
! early for these fires to break ont. In
| March. 1881, they began their devasta-
| tons in the West, and in the second
week of April, 1880, they assumed alarm
ing proportions in the Middle States
from Delaware to Virginia, despite the
fact that the preceding month was eX-
ceptiOnally rainy. In the latter year
thousands Of acres were burned over in
a single day and on Long Island pOr-
ton of the town of BroOkhaven was de-
strOyed. In the early part of March,
1879, they were reported as very destruc-
tive in the far West to ranches and cattle,
while i'll the Central States their ravages
were not inconsiderable In paper by
Mr.. n. H. Egleston, which appears in
the April POpmldr Science Monthly, it
is stated that the forthcoming census re-
port will show that "more of our pre-
cious woodlands are destroyed by fire
than by the Ak. "
In 1880, Mr.. Egleston asserts, on aU-
thOrity of these returns, more than six
hundred thousand acres in Pennsylvania
alone were reported as burned over, with
a loss exceeding three million dollars
According to Professor Hough the forest
fires of 1871 carried off more timber than
the country consumes in several years.
Great as are the losses to the timber re-
resources of the country and the perma-
nent injury to the soil. which is steril-
lied and turned into ''blackened desert"

The probabilities are that we shall not
have long to wait for reports of the usual
spring forest fires. But if there is any
thing to be done to avert the calamity
farmers ought to organize and mature
preventive measures without delay.

Remedies for Emergencies.

Very few young mothers are able to
control their nerves so completely as
to keep from being startled when con-
fronted with a cut finger with dripping
blood and the loud cries that announce
a catastrophe. Sometimes she cannot
collect her thoughts sufficiently to re-
call any of the good remedies with
which she is familiar. One way to
avoid this is to write out list of help
in trouble, and tack it upon the door
OF your room, after the manner of hotel
regulations.
There is nothing better for cut than
powdered rosin. Gent a few cents
worth; pound it until it is quite fine,
and then put it in an empty, clean pep
per or spice box with perforated top
then you can easily sift it out on the
cut: put a soft cloth around the injured
member, and wet it with cold water
once in while. 1t will prevent inham-
nation and soreness.
In doing up burn, the main point
IS to keep the air out of it. If sweet
oil and cotton are not at hand. take a
cloth and spread dry -four over it. and
wrap thu burned part with it.
1t is always well to have some simple
remedies in the house, where you can
get them without moments loss of
time. A little bottle of peppermint. in
case of collie; chlorate of potash for
sore throat; pepsin for Indigestion, and
q bottle of pure brandy. Have them
SO arranged that you could 60 to them
IN the dark, and reach the right one,
but be sure you never do it, even il
YOU know they have not been disturbed;
always light a lamp, or the gas, and
make sure you have what you want.
remember that pistols are always
loaded, and that poison may be put in
the place of peppermint.
