We stood on the haunted island,
We stood by the haunted bay;
The stars were all over the skyland,
But the moon had loitered away.
The lights of fisher-boats glimmered,
The beacon glowed steady and red,
The calm sea Jelly shimmered
Like the eye of one who is dead.
Then. all alone on the ocean,
The ghost of the island came
The ghost of vessel in motion,
The ghost of a vessel of flame.
1t shone with yaporous brightness
A glamour of tremulous rays;
1t was not fire, but the Wilderness
Of ghost of persisted blaze.
We watched it with all our vision,
We watched it doubling and dumb:
We had heard of the thing with derision,
But we surely beheld it come.
We saw it glide DER the water.
a phantom of pallid fire:
We saw it tumble and totter
To ruin, and then flash higher.
Again and again TO leeward
lis CHASTITY rigging fell DER;
At last. far away to seward,
1t foundered, and rose no more.
We had watched it with all our vision,
We had watched it with eve and glass:
And gone We're doubt and derisien
For surely we saw it pass.
Through many winter and summer,
As the sons of the island know,
The CLEAN of this ghostly conner
Has prophesied storm and Wee

The V1nd1catlon Of the Skunk.

Time at last makes all things even
For nearly three centuries the white man
in America has been in mortal dread Of
the very small animal known to science
by the emphatic name Of MeDhitis meDh-
H'c0, but much better known under
half-a- dozen aliases, each of which is less
complimentary than any of the others.
No one ever heard of even a member of
the Society for the prevention of Cruelty
to Animals interfering in fight between
half dozen big dogs and one small
skunk. If Mr.. Bergh himself were to see
lame, half starved skunk gazing appeal
lngly up at him from shady doorway
he would cross to the other side of the
street as promptly as the historic priest
and LeVlte did when they saw the man
who had met some tinancierS on the Jer-
lchO road. His efforts never have been
appreciated. He is the descendant of the
oldest family of perfumers in the world,
but although there has been a wonderful
uniformity in the quality and strength of
his goods no rival establishment has ever
attempted an imitation He was the first
IN the business to hit upon the enterpris-
ing plan of advertising by a free dlstribu-
ton OF samples, yet the man upon whom
he showered his favors always wanted to
bury his clothes and bystanders wanted
to bury the man himself Sometimes,
when pursued, he has dashed painting in
to church, but always with the result
of running the devotional status of the
meeting, and his occasional appearance
at a western dance is signal for every
body to waltz out. But at last he has
found friend. A legislator from the
interior Of the state demands that he be
protected in his right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness, the reason be-
ing that be destroys grubs that otherwise
would destroy hop vines. He therefore
