a SAIL ON rnEsEvERN AT SUNSET
BY p. OR,

The Sun is low in western sky,
We feel his farewell beam;
Oh come, my love, Wen sailing go;
On Severn s crystal stream,
And like swan, our little boat,
With sails as white as snow,
Will proudly Ser the waters glide,
While gentle winds do blow,
The silver sheet of Chesapeake,
Beyond is dimly seen,
While near us lies Annapolis,
All robed in emerald green
That little ancient city, love,
Where you were bred and born;
How gracefully two sister creeks,
The lovely place adorn,
Oh sweet it is at eventide,
When daily tolls are DER,
To sit upon those banks of shells,
That deck its pearly shore,
To sit with those we love, and watch
The small boats come and go;
And see the wavelets glittering,
While balmy zephers blow.
But rowing DER the waves at eve,
Fond lovers like the best,
When glisteping sails with gilded tinge
Reflect the golden West;
Yes, sweetest, for to us, my love,
The freedom of the wave,
More heartfelt JOY, will there be ours,
Than hill or dell ere gave.
The sweet sound of your charming voice
On Severn limpid stream,
Will bring TO me sweeter bliss,
Than lovers brightest dream;
And tales of love to you I'll tell,
In whispers fond and low;
The waves shall roll in harmony,
And gentle breezes blow

How to Drive eff Mosquitoes.
Good Cheer

The little pests swarmed upon us in
clouds. Sleep was impossible, and
we devoted the FIRST hours of the eve
ming to fighting our lilisutiaR adver-
sarles. We smoked until we could
scarcely breathe IN the sitting air.
This they seemed to Like, and buzzed
and stung all th more merrily for it.
We scented ourselves and bedding
with essence of peppermint, with
spearmint and carbolic acid, which
pleased them so well that the myriads
inside the tent called upon other
myriads outside to come in and help
them enjoy 1t. The situation was
growing desperate. But at last | be-
thought me of one more expedient,
which had been recommended, but
which / had forgotten. | searched
through my stores and brought out a
piece of gum camphor. Taking a
piece about the size of walnut, /
placed it on a plate and set fire to it.
1t burned as readily as pitch, with a
bright, clear flame, and apparently no
smoke. But it acted like charm. In
two minutes the multitudinous hum
had ceased; in five minutes not one of
our winged prosecutors remained
within the walls of our tent Then.
making everything comfortable, and
carefully covering our one window
with mosquito-bar, we went to bed
and slept the sleep of the Just, with
never a bite nor hum from our
odious foes

Mosquitoes.
BALTIMORE SIM

A correspondent writes of his trials
and tribulatious from mosquitoes as
follows: 81 live in Anne Arundel
county, Nd, near Patuxent river, on
farm which is known by the name
of Terrapin Island. On account of
dry weather the mosquitoes are in
abundance. On Sunday night, Au-
gust 81, they seemed to receive rein
forcements, and attacked my house.
From loss of rest by the Insects my
self and family were determined to
sleep the next night if possible.
Being a mechanic | made frame to
go over my bedstead and covered it
with a mosquito net. But the tor
menting mosquitoes soon drove us
from under the netting. / came to the
conclusion that the netting was not
fine enough. | pulled the bed from
the beadstead to the floor, took the
frame and riaced it over the bed;
and used five quilts. One l placed
over the top of the frame, four around
the sides, and secured the corners
well. Then, thinking we might set
nap. myself, wife and child laid down,
but in less than thirty minutes the
pests were under the covers so thick
that the very noise would waken a
person without biting. ! would be
very thankful to know what way l
can manage them.

Takers.

Who does not Ike to hear a really
good talker, whether in the public
room or in the private circlel Men
may glibly quote the adage, Speech
is silvern, but silence is golden" yet
it must be acknowledged that the
silent man is, as rule, at great dis
advantage compared with his
neighbor who can use his tongue
well, and is, as the phrase goes, good
company
But how comparatively few are the
takers with whom we can tina no
fault Some are too egotistical, Others
too consorioys. One man annoys us
by being too argumentative; another
by asserting too readily to all that
we say, and thus, anomalous as it
may seem, blocking the road to con-
versation, by sheer want OF obstruc-
ton. Then there is the double
tongued talker, the inqrisltive and
the grandiloquent-all of whom are
Objectionable.
In the northwestern island of Terra
del Fuego, the Ca people, who in
termarry frequently with the more
southern Yahgans Gas they are called
by the English missionaries, are the
tallest race on the globe, according to
the report of the French Mission to
Cape Horn, presented to the Academy
of Science, Paris, by DIR. Hahn. In
stock and speech these tall people APP
pear closely related to the Patagonians
of the continent.

A Building Gives Vay-Thirty ConvIcfs
Badly E1urt.
PORTSMOUTH, April 28.-While large
number of convicts were at work to-day on
the new cavalry barracks in the course of
erection, the props and supporters of the
building suddenly gave way, burying many OF
the men in a mass of timber and debris. The
noise of the falling building and the clouds
of dust soon attracted large crowds, and in
few moments hundreds of brave
fellows, many of them sailors and ma
rines, were at work removing the heavy tim
Der, etc., which covered the unfortunate
men. A number of surgeons and physicians
were promptly on the spot, and as fast as
the injured men were taken out they rscsived
medical aid, after which they were removed
to the prison hospital. On the roll being
called this afternoon, it was found that none
of the convicts were killed, but 80 of them
were badly injured, several fatally.

The Millennium at Hand-An Interesting
Sermon From q Congregational Pull
PIT.
TORONTO, April 2s.-Rev. DIR. Wild, the
well known Congregational minister, in his
sermon last night stated that he learned from
the Bible that the millennium was the fifth
event which people on earth might look for
It's approach would he said be gradual but
from present Indications he would fix the
date 1885 or fifty-one years hence. This
event was to be preceded by the recognition
of Israel, which would be in the near future
The restoration of the Jews would follow.
The appearance of an Antichrist, who would
lead the Jews astray, would follow their
restoration; then the appearance Of the three
witnesses mentioned in Revelations. After
the millennium they would have cessation of
birth and prolongation of human life when
a man would be called at one hundred years
of age and his age would be az tree. This
would be followed by the second coming of
Christ, then the resurrection and provision
of fitting body; the translation Of the
saints remaining on the earth at the coming
of Christ; the burning of the world and then
the final judgment and great day of assize.

story of Arbuckle's coffee mill, foot of

CAIRO, April 28.-The reported surrender
of Berber is premature. An official dispatch
received this afternoon says, however, that
all the residents of the town and the refugees
who had gathered there have fed, leaving
only 1927 soldiers who comprise the contin-
gent sent from Khartoum some time ago.
The desertion of five hundred troops from
the Berber garrison has badly demoralized
those remaining and but feeble resistance to
the enemy is expected Of them.
