DESERTED.

Bright sea far flooding all the pcbblcd sand.
f!lnginS thy foainy pearls from stone TO stone
Thy lullaby low murmurcd to the strand
Sounds like a lovers tone,
And yet know elsewhere some OF her shore rs fair
Thy waves have kissed and left it dry and lone
Bright sunshine cleaning on my cottage wall
Tracing the shadow of an ivy spray;
How tenderly thy golden touches fall
On common things to-day
Yet beneath other skies some land beuightcd lies
Deserted by thy glory cold and gray
Blthc bird loud warbling underneath the caves
An eager love song passionate and shrill;
My heart is trembling amid summer leaves
With sweet, responsive thrill.
Yet far away. dear guest, there is an empty nest,
Which thou hast left forsakeu, void and still.
Fair sea, bright sunshine, bird of song divine,
|, too may lose the tide. the light the lay.
Others may win the kisses that were mine.
Ny night may be their day.
Yet though the soul may sigh for precious things
gone by,
shall have had my rapsures, come what may.

wAsmSoTos, April 23.-one Of the
strongest advocates Of civil seavice calls
attention to one portion Of the Civil Service
Law which he thinks may prove to be Of
great injury to the persons who will be
charged with the execution Of that law.
He refers to Section 5 Of the act which i'm.
poses a heavy fine or imprisonment, or
both, upon any person engaged as sub
examiner, who shall in any manner show
partiality or prejudice towards or against
any applicant for appointment or promo
ton. 1t is said that It would be an easy
matter fer any person who might be un.
successful in the examination to charge one
OF the applicants with making corrupt re-
turrsin the interest OF friends, and while the
charges might not be sustained, they would
doubtless cause the accused q great deal Of
trouble andannoyance to disprove them.
Even should he be successful In the impu-
tation would still attach to him in all prob
ability, and cause him great deal Of in
convenience. As the burden Of examina.
tons and markings will naturally fall upon
the sub.examiners, they will be frequently
called upon to use their discretion 70 q
greater or less extent in making, and In
doing 80 will lay themselves liable to
chargesof corruption, when their intention
may be OF the best. For these reasons Sec.
ton 5of the act is severely criticised by de.
,partmeRt employees, who are likely 10, be
called upon to act as sub-examiners.
