MADAME LAMADRIp.s LAMENT FOR
LITTLE SUSIE.
BY SARAH 7. BOLTON.

Like an angel. child ssiray.
Susie came 10 us. one day.
With the light OF Paradise
Shining IN her wondrous eyes.
Little Susie, sweet and fair,
From her crow n OF siiken hair.
Dimpled cheeks and dainty lips,
To her rosy finger tips.
With her wise and winning wayf,
In her prat,le aud her plays:
wooing leye and tenderness,
Clinging arms anc sweet caTess
Susie was, TO mine and me.
More than all the world could be.
Often, when within ny room.
Half concealed by twilight gloom.
Ifat thinking, sad and sore,
OF the loved ones gone before.
Came pattering on the floor,
And, a little pleading face.
Softly stole 10 my embrace
And, as some young dove might COO.
Susie whispered. al love yoo."
Then the shadows took their flight,
eusie's love made oil things bright.
Blooming, like trop!c flower.
Nurtpree in q summer bower,
She grew fsirer every hour.
All day long the merry beat
OF her busy, little feet
Made a music ON the floor
Music we shall hear no more.
And the light OF Paradise.
Lingering IA her woncrous eyes.
Gave a soft api ealing grace
To the fashion o. Der face.
But, alas, there came q day,
When our darling went away
Love could not prolong her stay;
Left Us in our grief and pain.
Never TO come back again.
Left US, in the darkness drear;
All the light went out with her
Fave the memory Of the years
Sorrow never stained with tears.
Folded In q robe as fair
AS her sister angels wear.
Susie sleeps beyond all care.
Sleeps with dimpled hands at rest,
Like twin lilies on her breast;
Sleeps beyond all pang and pain.
AL temptation, Gin snd stain,
Sense OF sorrow. gain or loss,
In the shadow OF HIS cross
Who hath said. OF such as she,
On the shore OF Galilee,
"suner them TO como 20 Me-"

Lead Us Not Into Temptation.

Little Minnle's mother had several times
spanked her for going out into the street.
The other day as the groceryman was leaving
the house, Minnie called to him and said

During the height of the recent gale of
the northeast coast of Scotland Mrs.
WHITE, the wife of farm servant who
lives with her husband in Il small cottage
on Aherdour beach, observed the steamer,
William Hone, of Dundee, wrecked in the
bay almost opposite her own door. With
out a moments hesitation and in the midst
of a binding shower of hail aud sleet this
brave woman proceeded as far as she safe
ly could into the sea and caught the end of
rope which one of the crew threw TO her.
The rope she fastened around her waist,
and with her feet plante | firmly on the
beach and with the spray dashing around
her she stood until those on board the
arrangements for getting ashore, which
they did safely.
Mrs. Whyte's goodness did not end
there. She took the rescued men to her
humble cot, and, SO far as her poor means
afforded, supplied that comfort when the
destitute and exhausted crew stood much
in need of. Nor is this the first occasion
upon which this poor woman has shown
herself good Samaritan. About two
years ago the Swedish bark Aimaiar was
wrecked on almost the sane spot as the
William Hope. Mrs. Whyte showed the
utmost sympathy and kindness for the
stranded foreigners; she took them her
house, grudged neither time, convenience
nor material aid, such as was in her pow
er. to alleviate their wants. These services
have never been publicly recognized

Alaska forests contain enough timber to

spruce, fir and hemlock cover every island
of the archipelago and goodly portion of
The mainland. The trees are straight and
tall and grow close together. The only
sawmill at present in operation is AZ Doug
las Island, and so far there has not been =

trees as a rule, do not have large dimcn-
sions. and will not always cut up into good
sized boards. For fuel however, the wood

spruce in the world, and the supply is very

near the coast and on the islands. Regard
