SOONER OR LATER.

Sooner or later the storm shall beat
Over nv slumber from head to feet;
Sooner or later the wind shall rave
In the long CRUISES above my grave
shall not heed them where they lie
Nolhing their sounds shall SIGNIFY:
Nosh M tue headstone's fretof ram;
Nothing TO me the dark days pam.
Sooner or later the sun shall shine.
With tender warmth on that mound OF mine
Sooner or later in summer ar
Clover and violets blossom there
sbalI not feel in that deep-laid rest
TIE steeted light fall over my breast;
Nor ever note in those hidden hours
The wind-blown breath of III tossing flower;
sooner or later the stainless SHOWS
shall add their hush TO my mute lepCse;
Sooner or later shall slant and SHIFT
And heap my be6 with their daz ling drift.
Chill though that frozen pail shall seem,
lis touch no colder can make the dream
That reckS not the sacred dread
Shrouding the city OF the dead
Sooner or later the bee shall come
And MI the noon with its golden hum;
Sooner or later, on half-poised wing,
The biuebird above my grave shall sing,
Sing and chirp and whistle with glee;
Nothing his music can mean TO ne;
Nome OF those beautiful things shalt-know
How soundly their lover sleeps below.
Sooner or later, far out in the night,
The stars shall over me wing their Night;
Sooner or later the darklmg dews
Catch the white spark in their silent ooze.
Never a ray shall part the gloom
That WRAPS me round in the silent tomb;
Peace shall be perfect to lip and brow
Sooner or later; oh, why not now?

The concluding episodes of VERT
able romance were enacted in this City
to-day. As the British Crown swung
up to the American Wine dock an old

woman into the cabin.

sad as this was enacted by the same
pair on the Cunard Dock at Liverpool,

his fortune amid his kin beyond the
sea. Kin at home had made the union
OF the couple an impossibility for the

Capt Webb's The Captain was not fool
hardy or rash, as many suppose. All his
wonderful exploits we're the result of careful
study. When he made up his mind to swim
the English channel before attempting the
feat he went and lived with the LGplanders
nearly year, to study their habits for endur-
ing excessive cold and for hardening the
body. All his dives were studiously planned
beforehand, and he calculated to a degree at
what angle he would strike the water. Not
one of his many feats, to my knowledge, were
attempted without previous planning as to
how he was coming out. He has told me
that when making his high dives he was
thinking all the time that he was going down
He told me last year that he was going to do
something big this year, and subsequently in
formed me that it was to swim the Niagara.
His object in doing this was simply as an adj
vertisement to bring his name more promi-
nent before the public, and, as he thought,
help him to earn larger salary. We spent a
number of days in examining the currents and
eddies in the Niagara river, and the Captain
went SO far as to make a chart of the course
he intended to follow. l placed the utmost
confidence in him, and had not tho slightest
doubt but that he would accomplish the feat.
When parted with him no was confident and
cheerful, and he said that he would wait till
