The revenue cutter Fessenden was
in port last Friday. She carries three
guns-one thirty-two FOUNDER. The
steamer is great improvement over
that tub, the Bibbs, that was here
some time ago. The Fessenden is a
side wheel steamboat, and has the
reputation of being fast boat. AT
the time of our visit, one of the sailors
was trying to coax music out of fife,
and another, after trying to see the
town through some lumber piles, de-
clared he could not see the town for
houses. The steamer, at that time,
was near the mouth of the river.

Hints About Picnios.

The most important part of picnic,
however, is not the weather or the
place or the dinner. You may choose
the most beautiful spot in the world,
and spread the most delicious lunch
ever prepared, and yet have the whole
thing a complete failure, simply be-
cause the company was not we'll select
ed. Out-of-doors, where people are
free from formality, unless they are
congenial friends, and what Mrs Whit
ney calls "Real Folks" they Will be
likely to feel ill at ease, and miss the
support given by company, clothes
and manners. Small picnics, for this
reason among others, are usually much
pleasanter than large picnics.
In making up the party, be sure 70
leave behind the girl who is certain to
bee too warm or too cold, or to think
some other place better than the one
where she is, and who has "a horrid
time" iffshe has to submit to any per-
sonal inconvenience for the sake of
others; and with her, the boy who
loves to tease, and who is quite sure
that his way is the only good way.
Put into their places some others,
young or old, who love simple pleas
ures. and are ready to help others to
enjoy them.
Next in Importance to the company
is the place. 1t must not be at a great
distance, or you will all be tired, not
to say cross, when you arrive there.
1t must be reasonbly shady, and not
too far from supply of good drinking
water. Ii the company are to walk,
you must be especially careful not to
be overburiened with baskets and
wraps, for the bundles which seemed
SO light when you started are sure to
weigh down much more heavily be-
fore you reach your destination. Be
careful to have this work fairly dis.
tributed.
Never start until you are sure that
you know just where you are going,
and the best way of getting there.
Wandering about to choose a place,
and thinking constantly to find one
more desirable, is very fatiguing. That
matter should be settled beforehand
by two or three of the party, and the
others should 60 straight to the spot,
and make the best of it. If any do
not like it, they can choose different
place when their turn comes to make
the selection.-From "Picnics," by
Susan Anna Brown, in st. Nicholas
for July.

FANTASTIC Effects of Music.

She twankled tune on her light guitar.
A low sweet gangle Of tangled sounds,
As blurred as the voices OF fairies are.
Dancing in the noondawn dales and downs;
And the tinkling dip Of the strange re-
frain
Ran DER the rim Of my soul like rain.
The great blonde moon I'm the midnight skies
Paused and poised DER the trellis caves
And the stars in the light Of her upturned
eyes
Sifted their love through the rifted leaves
Glinted and splintered in crystal mist
Down the glittering string that her finger
kissed.
oh, the melody madl oh, the tinkle and
thrill
OF the ecstacy of the exquisite thingi
The red rose dropped from the window sill
And lay in a long swoon quivering;
While the dying notes OF the strain divine
Ripping in glee up my spellbound spine.

Pauline Cannon, a pretty brunette
yesterday summoned before Justice
Welde, at Essex Market, Mayer Gems.
Ter a well-dressed young man, whose
conduct, she said, caused her consid-
cradle annoyance. "Im waiter girl

ter street" she testified, and he is en-
ployed in the same place as a driver.
Whenever he sees me he catches me
in his arms and kisses me. l don't
like it and I've told him so repeatedly.
but he won't stop. I'm afraid if my
husband catches him he'll kill him,
and probably me. I've been married
year, but my husband doesn't care
much for me-
pauline, didn't you allow me to
kiss you last night?" questioned the
young man.
"No, l didn't. You stole the kiss
from me-"
"l'm the injured party in this mat
ter, Judge, remarked the defendant.
alt is l who should have made this
complaint. She is the one who does
all the mashiug. When l go to work
in the morning and when return in
the evening she gathers. me in her
arms and kisses me. was afraid of
getting killed by her husband if he
should happen to see US, and I told
him of her conduct. He said: "If
she kisses you, kiss her until she gets
tired of it." | followed his advice.
She had me arrested because her hus-
band is thinking of applying for a di-
vorce.'
A number of witnesses were waiting
to be heard in behalf of the defendant
but Justice Welde only listened to one,
who fully corroborated Gensler, and
the Magistrate discharged him.

The Open Sea.

With sails outspread, beneath the Northern
skies
blast,
Whose freezing breath would hold the vessel
fast
To icy coasts, from which are heard no cries
For aid. while each man heeds the mandate;
"Rsel
Cut through the barriers till we turn our
mast
Toward the open sea, in which at last
Wen anchor as our ship in safety lies"
And so, earth-bound, shall thought on
thought aspire.
Cleaving the frozen shores that hold the
mind
By all the links, which in the flesh still bind
The truth, unknown in all its full desire.
But while wait hear the firm decree,
"My gates unclose toward the open sea-"
