We stood upon the rockl ound coast.
Upon the narrow strip of sand
That lies between the ocean and the cliffs,
That rise, in gloomy splendor from the land.
The sky that shone so brightly blue, at noon,
At eve, is dark with clouds of leaden hue;
And as we gaze upon their mystic folds.
The ren0vating rain breaks through.
And as the mercies. from the Almiehty's hand,
Falls with refreshing balm, on land and sea,
Making earth's choicest gifts rejoice;
Inspiring us with awe, and mystery.
The gentle wind, breaks to a sturdy gale,
Growing the waves with caps of snow-white
foam.
Tossing the sand, i'll playful sport. about our
feet,
And as we look, we sigh and think of home.
And 80 it is with us, down here below,
We stand upon the brink of lies great ocean,
Watching the ways of things and men:
Or losing ourselves Within its constant motion.
Our morning sky Is blue and bri bit.
And may continue so, perhaps till noon.
But evening will develop clouds and storms,
And make us think of "Home,"-alas! too soon.
But standing by that peaceful ocean Of eternity.
Whose placid waves are never lash. d by storms
to foam,
Meath brightest skies, that ne'er are dimed by
clouds,
We need not sigh. or have Il fear, we shall be
home.

A Story and the Sequel.

New North West: On Tuesday a young man
aged %, but looking much younger, walked In
to town from Butte. During the Gay he said he
had worked for the Anaconda Company two
years, he took numerous drinks and exposed
at one time a $40 gold piece. In the evening he
was in Bailey & Petty's saloon, got sick and went
out the back door. He kept sick, and ~alternated
his sick spells With maps. 1t was thought best
o disoossess him of his $40 gold piece before
leaving him exposed, and an officer was called
to search him The officer found $3.50 In gold
coin, q watch, a knife and a pistol on lin.
The money was counted and it, with his valu
ables, put in Mr.. Petty's hands. Soon after Sher-
if Nc Masters put him to bed in q no ell. In the
morning he said he had been robbed. He was
referred to the Sheriff. "Are you broker" said
Mac. mo, l have some left (and here he went
down into an inside pocket, and drew out $3.50
more in coin) but 1 have been robbed Of some p"
He could hardly realize his good fortune when
all his possessions were counted out and re-
turned to him. A draft for 5000 was purchased
for him on London, AID he left on Wednesday
nights train for Garrison, whence he said he
was going back to his home in Cornwall, Eng
land He was q very lucky yonng man and his
experience should teach him a lesson.
That is not all. The young man is learning
his lesson in another room of the school Of ex-
perience. His name is William Hawke. 1t ap-
pears that Williams father and a man named
Toms had buried something like Sl24O and Will
liam found ont where it was and having fou''d
it, took it and absconded. Instead of going
away and keeping sober as a regular thief
would have done, he went away and got drunk.
The parties from whom he had stolen the mon
ey made complaint to the sheriff who tele-
graphed to the deputy at Garrison to arrest the
young gentleman. The young gentleman when
he arrived at Garrison instead of boarding the
Northern Pacific train, boardei with the sheriff
and is now in Jail in Butte on the charge of grand
larceny. OF the Sl24O which he stole, s1,o4S, and
a ticket to New York. which cost SCI, were recov-
cred. Up to the time that he had committed

was considered Industrious. honest and
Trustworthy. 1t is to be hoped that the bad step
may notruin his whole life.

which to tan his fresh, pink face, the
pride of his mother and lady friends.
His remedy wa to rub his eouDte-

Whether his efforts were successful
history does not record, but Ameri-
can ladies might as we'll try this rem
edy for a tender skin rathtr than the
more violent one of taking long rides
or drives in the full glare of the sun
without either trimmed hat, veil or
sunshade. They, too, like the En-
per0r, want the face to tan, not to
give it a more manly appearance,
but as a preventive for freckles, as a
tanned skin is said not to '~'frecKle"
as does the delicate pink aud white
complexion. Of the two evils
American bellies choose the least, but
for all that the reign of the parasol is
not likely to be ut an end. Most
ladies sh'ink equally from both tan
and freckles, and for them the sun
shade Is the only hope.

alton both in Greenland and on Grin
nell Land. The fact that two of
Greely's sledge parties were stopped
by open water in the Polar circle, and
that both were at the time adrift in
strong currents, which threatened to
carry them %bopelessly away north
ward, would seem to show that the
Polar basis is not 4 solid sea of
ancient imm0veable ice, which Mares
described and which he declared was
never navigable. Lieut.. Greely's
explorations extended over three
degrees of latitude and nearly 40 de-
grees of longitude. He has virtually
a~scertained the true outline OF Grin
nell Land. He has crossed it from
east to west, and on the, northern
coast of Greenland has gone one de-
gree of latitude and 10 degrees of
longitude beyond the farthest point
reached by Capt. Mares. On that ac-
complished sledging officer, Lieut..
Beaumonth, these achievements alone
reflect the highest credit, as also upon
