cepted the theory that the ball would de-
scribe curve, moving upward after leav-

WAITING.
J. II. NJ.

On the gloomy shore sat waiting
AS the evening sun went down,
Far below the distant hill-tops,
Giving each a golden crown
One who looked, with tireless glances
Far across the rolling sea,
Murmuring with broken accents:
Bring, oh, bring him safe to me"'
In the twilight of the morning
His brave vessel sailed away
And she watched its merry dancing
Far across the swelling bay;
And her heart, with tender yearning,
Chung about the bending mast,
Half afraid that tender parting
On the shore might be the last.
Long she watched the rolling billows
AS they tossed In wanton play,
Throwing mp. with mocking voices,
At her feet, their crystal spray;
Long she watched the dim horizon
Till shut out by gathering night,
But the line was still unbroken,
Not sail appeared in sight,
Lonely in the gather ing darkness
Watched and waited still that form,
While across the watery highway
Came the sound of rising storm,
And the rushing of the breakers
In that vast and trouble sea.
Mocked the Watchers tender pleadings:
Bring, oh, bring him safe to me!'
On the bosom of the tempest
Came a message to that soul:
"Now his vessel rides at anchor,
But abore it hillows roll;
Now the fisherman is selling
Far away through ether dim
You may never see his C ming.
You, brave soul, may go to him.
He has passed through storm and darkness,
To a peaceful, happy shore;
Where the raging of the billows
Can disturb the soul no more.
There upon a shore of beauty,
By sea of waveless blue,
Waits your loved one. gentle watcher
Waiting, watching still, for you.

messed wonderful governmental and social
changes. The brilliant career Of the great
man closed full of honors. On his death.
