THE SECOND MATE.

Out from the mouth of Fuca's strait,
Into the dark and stormy night,
Deck in charge of the second mate
We bale good-by to Flattery Light.
Mate in brief authority dressed,
Hark! do you hear him haze the crew?
Angels te irs would suit him best:
Cowardly cur, ! warrant You.
Stern and dark, with the h0arsest voice;
Curse or blow for the merest thing;
wonder that our Captains ch. ice
Gave such Q brute his petty swing.
Captain Morse, Of the kindsst face
Coolest head. and the warmest heart,
Highes type Of the sailor race
How can ne take that bully's part?
Musing thus ss pace the deck.
Plunged the ship in the rising sea-
Crash! and We lie q helpless wreck.
Decks wave swept and the rocks alec.
Shaft was snapped in the starboard box!
Wheel still hangs by the broken end!
God! do you feel those dreadful shocks!
That mass Of IRON that bilse will rend!
Above the roar Of wind and wave,
Der the cries OF the frightened throng,
Ring the voice of the Captain brave,
Cool and steady. clear and strong.
Fill with water the starboard boats
She won't capsixe il the great wheel drops
Don't give up while tho old ship floats;
Fetch scope Of chain, and good stout stops
Cut hole in the paddle box;
Bend q hnde to that cable ring;
Quick! with your strongest tackle blocks
Which OF you dares secure that thing1"
Whoever wants to 60 to hell
Follow me!' cries the brutal mate;
just as sure as I'm here to tell,
There was not one to hesitate!
Two are enoughr' the Captain cries
All the crew would follow him;
This ship is saved or herO dies
Christ! the seas are swift and grim.
Into that plunging wheel they go.
Climbing over the slippery arms:
Churned by the surges to and fro,
Threatened each step with the direct harms.
pstaRt s,9td death ssh i he elsH es shss sss
Death is the only thing can stop
The way of men thus truly bold.
Ages. it seems. with choking throsts,
We stand and watch th0 seething brine,
Hurrah! oar the mossy paddle-doats
Stagger the men; they've passed the line!
Reeve the chain. and snug and taut;
Lash the wheel to the steamers side
Cheer. my hearties! the fight is fought;
Under sail she will safely ride"
Wonderful how that mate can change,
Seen from different point of view!
Captains = choice doesn't seem so strange;
Judge of men! and good one, too,
Second mate was born to command,
Regular sailor. truck to keel;
Rough of speech. and of heavy hand,
But heart as true as the finest steel.

SWEETHEART.

SWEETHEART.
It's the prettiest word
That ever was heard
From lover to his near one;
1t means much more
Than fifty score
Of darling, pet, and dear one.
To lover tall
Doth it recall
His little lady slender;
Her cheeks ripe peach
His heart doth reach,
His heart both strong and tender.
And be her eye
Like summer sky,
Or be it black and cleaning;
And be she small, m...
Or queenly tall.
This word for her is seeming.
Sweetheart, sweetheart.
1t not one part
Be hers of beauty's power;
Her heart 20 true
Beats sweet for you,
You crave no fairer dover.
If loved were /,
And should die,
By him who'd learned to love me,
Might on my stone
''Sweetheart'' alone
Be sadly cut above me.

The New York Evening Post offers it's semi-
weekly edition to new readers for the last three
months of this year for Is cents. Its make up
includes. besides the news of the half-week, the
leading editorials of the daily edition, foreign
and domestic correspondence. personal. politi-
cal and religious notes, book reviews musical
and dramatic criticism, farm. household and
fashion hints. selections from the best current
foreign literature. etc. Owing to its thorough
ly independent attitude upon all political ques-
tions, the views of the Evening Post are more
eagerly sought and more widely copied than
those of almost any other newspaper in the
country. This was the case in the last presi-
dental campaign. when. for reasons which it
gave in advance of the nomination. it found it
self unable to support the Republican candi-
date. This has been the case also since the
election. for the paper has again demonstrated
its independence by promptly denouncing all
departures Of the new administration from the
reform pledges upon which it was iutrusted
with power.

An article that will crafty almost univer-
sal curiosity is promised in the November
Ha,per's--" The New York Stock Ex-
change" 1t will present sketch of the
growth of the Exchange from its organiza-
ton by twenty four brokers, who met un-
der bnttonwood tree in Wall street in
1892, to its present membership of HOO,
with building worth 81, 500, 900, salary
list for employees of nearly $780, 700 yearly,
an initiation fee of $4,000, aud yearly
transactions of 1900, 900, 600, dividing a
profit probably of over $30,0O0,0OO. The
writer, DR.. R. Wheatley, describes at length
the organization of the Exchange, explains
its legitimate business function, and sets
forth plainly how its facilities are some-
times made use of to fleece the dear public;
tells the story of one of Jay Gould's great
manipulations of the market, and gives the
slang of the street-a portion of which is in
itself an interesting contribution to the Gu
riosities of language. Views of the Ex-
change, portraits of its officers, and of Van
derbilt, Jay Gould, Cyrus W. Field, Rus
sell Sage and other operators, and other H.
lustrations, make the paper still more in
teresting.

Prince of Bulgaria.

Prince OF Bulgaria.
Great events are taking place in Europe
and greater ones are in prospect. A few
weeks ago the people of Eastern Roumelia
suddenly changed their government and
united themselves with Bulgaria. In SO
doing the Treaty of Berlin, effected in 1878,
was violated, but Russia backs the Roume-
lians in what they did, while Servia, jealous
of Bulgarian growth, is preparing to check
it by force of a4ms if necessary. Both Rou-
melia and Bulgaria were constituted tribu-
tary States of the Ottoman Empire under
conditions which have been violated by the
revolution accomplished in Roumelia, the
object of which was to present stronger
front against Turkey, the superior power,
and gain larger degree of self govern
ment. European powers are to have a
meeting in Constantinople in the hope of
settling the trouble which has arisen with
out war, but everybody feels that conflict
is not improbable and may easily be brought
about by only little more friction than
that already existing.
Our subject, Alexander I, Prince of Bull
garia, has prepared himself to profit by the
action of Eastern Roumelia in declaring
itself to be part of the territory governed
by him. He is at the head of large force
of Bulgarian cavalry in Roumelian terri
tory.
The Prince, though young in years, is a
soldier of experience, and a magnificent
man physically. He was born April 5, 1857,
the son of Prince Alexander Louis George
Frederic Emile of Hesse. In 1870 he en-
tered the Prussian army, and in 1877 that
of Russia. He fought in the army of the
Gear against Turkey in the campaign of
1878 and was very popular officer. The
treaty of Berlin was signed in 1878, after
the war had ended triumphantly for Rus
sia. 1t made Bulgaria State tributary to
Turkey, but having considerable ind epend-
ence, and Eastern Roumelia also the same,
but under less favorable condi tions in the
direction of self-government. Now the
Roumelians, BY giving themselves to Bull
garia, evidence their want to have less to
do in the way of paying tribute and honor
to g the unspeakable Turk" Alexander is the
first Prince of Bulgaria under the new ar
rangement He was elected in April, 1879.
His administration has been successful, but
he is said to spend money more laviahly
than his people like. He has sunk great
deal in building fine palace. His allow
ance from the treasury is about $4,000 a
year. Many people assert that Alexander
is an ambitious young man who was not
surprised at the revolution in Eastern Rou-
melia, because he had been the principal
wire -puller in bringing it about. This is
| probably not true, however; if accounts of
him are trustworthy he is not possessed of
the brains and tact necessary to direct a
successful revolutionary scheme.

OUR RAILROADS.
Fifteen Roads Sold Under Foreclosure
Within the Past Six Months,

CHICAGO, ILL July 0 The Rail
way Age to-day says; During the
past six months Of the year the pro.
cess Of winding up and selling out the
railway companies which had for
sometime been bankrupt, their in
solvency generally dating from the
previous year, has been going on with
considerable vigoT, as Is apparent
from the fact that from January 10 TO
July 10, 1855, total Of iif-
teen roads, owning 1921 miles
of track and representing
S37 800, 900 in capital stock and ti7,-
COS 900 in bonds, were sold under fore
closure. The sales for the entire year
OF 1881 included only fifteen roads
During the total period above named
thirty-six roads, owning 8439 miles OF
track and representing total capital
stock and bonds Of $347, 7S0, 900. were
placed in the hands Of receivers. Most
OF the roads represented are quite
small, but IL the rate wars are
not stopped and the great roads
continue 10 carry freight for less than
cost, there is serious danger that not
few OF The largest companies will be
added to the list Of bankruptcies before
the end OF the year. IT Is far easier to
destroy than to build, and 1t il evident
! that railroad destruction is going on al
pre- sent much more rapidly than CON
structioD. During the past six
months, according to our records,
only 300 miles OF new roads
have been added In the United st ites
while ll2l miles OF old rosds have been
sold under foreclosure aud nearly 900
miles of other roads have been placed
In the hands OF receivers. AT this rste
bankruptcy will ere long overtake our
( entire railway system, unless better
methods and better ii mes come TO their
aid. -
