THE LAST KISS.

BY CHARLES w. HuBYER.

Among the confused mass who were strug-

gers. he panic which had seized the others
was not shared by them, but their blanchcd
faces told that they realized the peril which
surrounded them. The only movement of
muscles or nerves was that produced by the
chill tng atmosphere. They stood together, their
hands rlasred in each Others. as II to fu!hll

The breakers roar. the mad winds howl.
Sharp snites the ICY blast:
Her stout sides Iivcn by tire rocks,
The doomed ship sinks nj last.
With dreadful din and thundrous shock,
Their wide mouths iecked with spray.
The hungry billows leap on deck,
Like wolves upon their prey.
Against the ansct of the sea,
The fury Of the yale,
What human hca may hope II stand?
What arm, save Gods, prevail!
Alas, alasi Q. cruel Death,
Thine is the victory!
Gorge with an hundred victims more
Thy monstrous NAV, y, Sea!
But look, Who stand SO calmy there
Upon the rceling deck,
Inmosed anil the shticking throng,
Tie clamor OF the wreck

S;crn-hrowed and eagle eyed,
slender woman, sweet and fair,
Close c'ingng TO his side:

Drcnched by the ice-cold sea,
They shrink and shiver, and their cheeks
Are wan as dead mems be;
IT is the Iashing slcet that makes
Their bodies shrink with pain.
And not the dread OF death that cowcs
The hearts Of craven mn:
For see how calmly, heart to heart.
Hand closely clasred in hand.
Amid the riots ma.ldcning din
The wife and husband stand!
Stand as they stood long years ago,
lroud groom and happy bride,
She fair to him rs angels are,
And he Ecr fond hearts pride.
All! who can know the thoughts that burnct
Those brave, calm brows beneath?
The ages in that moment lived
There face to face with death?
shoCk-a lurch-an awful crash!
The shark-like rock-fangs rip
The stecl-clad Sides and with a roar
The wild waves whclm the ship!
One brief embrace of loving arms,
One fond farewell kiss,
And wife and husband, heart to heart,
Sink in tho dread abyss
o, Death, thou hast thy victories,
O, Life, thou hast thy fame;
Yet love can do heroic deeds
That shall your triumphs shame.
But never a diviner decd,
Even by Love was 0f,le,
Than when her apoti.casls

SIX PERSONS CREMATED.
The Terrible Results Of u Drunken Spree
at Sharb0l Lake, Ont.


Mt Sharbol Lake, Ont.

The residence Of George Peters, at Shar-
Dol Lake. was burned at an early hour this
morning. Peters, his daughter of years,
> young woman named Bridger, and three
others were burned to death. 1t appears
that the horror was the result of spree.
Peters was n laborer on the Ontario and
Quebec Railway, and with him and his fam
lily resided five Of his associates. Last night
was spent i'll dissipation. which con-
tinued until late hour. About | o'clock
Peters picked up lamp and started up
stairs, and, when near the top, the lamp
fell from his hand. and in an instant the
stairway was in blaze. The flames spread
rapidly, and before the family, most Of
whom were III the upper tat, were aroused,
their escape was apparently impossible.
However, Mrs. Peters, followed by TIVE OF her
daughters, rushed through the flames and
succeeded IN getting out safely, rs did also

THE MOON INHABITED.
Towns, villages, and Cultivated Fields
Can He Seen.

Can Be Seen.
AT the astronomical observatory of Ber-
lin discovery has lately been made which,
without doubt. will cause the greatest SEN
sation not only among the adopts in science
but even among the most learned. Prof.
Blendmann. in that city. has found, beyond
doubt, that our old friend the moon is not
mere lantern, which kindly furnishes
light for the loving youth and gas cop-
panies of our planet. but the abode of IN
ing, intelligent beings, for which he is pre-
pared to furnish proofs the most con-
yincing.
This question has agitated humanity from
time immemorial, and has been the object
of the greatest interest But the opinions
have always differed very widely, and no
two minds held one and the same. Already
in ancient times the belief prevailed that
the moon was inhabited with some higher
organized, intelligent beings, somewhat re-
sembling man. and i'll order to communicate
with them the earthly enthusiasts planted
rows of trees, several miles in length. so as
to form the figure of the Pythagorean the
orem. The celebrated astronomer, Schro-
der, in the beginning Of the present century,
fancied that he could detect places on the
surface of the moon which periodically grew
lighter and darker, and from this fact he
derived the conclusion that tho phenome-
non was n proof of existing vegetation.
During the last few decades, however, the
idea Of life on the moon has been held up
to ridicule, and totally scorned by men Of
learning. But, nevertheless, it has now
been proved to be correct.
BY accident Dr. Blendmann found that
the observations of the moon gave but very
unsatisfactory results, owing to tho intens-
ity of the light power Of tho moons at
mosphere, which is that strong that it
affects tho correctness of the observations
in very high degree. He then con-
ceived the idea to make the object
glass of the refmctor less sensitive
to the rays of the light, and for that
purpose he darkened it with tho smoke Of
oamphor. 1t took months of experimenting
before he succeeded in finding his right de-
finally found he then with the rcfractor took
. very accurate photo Of the moons sur
face. This he placed in sun microscope,
which gave the picture a diameter of 553
feet. The revelation was most startling. It
perfectly overturned all hitherto entertained
ideas of the moons surface. Those level
plains which formerly were held to be oceans
of water proved to be yerdant fields,
and what formerly was considered noun
tains turned out rs deserts of sand and
oceans of water Towns and habitations Of
all kinds were plainly discernible, as well
as signs Of industry and traffic. The learned
Professors study and observations Of old
Luna will be repeated every full moon when
the sky is clear, and wc venture to predict
that the time il not far of when we shall
know more about the man in the moon than
- being an agent in English politics.
