Tossed through the dark and stormy night,
When clouds eclipsed the moons pale Iigh
Tho shipwrecked passengers and Grew
Chung 10 raft; when lOl In view,
Revealed by the red rising sun
That lit the circling horizon.
A ship appeared, dressed In full sail,
Bounding before prosperous gale.
While from Its planks OF wretchedness
Waved the sad bag OF sore distress,
Life boats were lowered into the wave,
Rescued the men from watery graves,
How many venture on the sea OF life
Who never won the victory of self control,
Risking the loss OF life and soul.
Wrecked on the sea of drunkness.
Their rags their banners OF distress.
They would have sunk In shame and night
But for the Temperance ship In sight,
And lite boats lowered from fore and aft
To pick them from their sinking craft.
Let praise ascend from heart and lip
In hlnor of the Temperance ship.
The snow-white canvass In the air
Is filled with the sweet breath OF prayer.
Truth is the pilot at the wheel,
That holds and nerves the hidden keel.
Faith Ia the buiwarks liked and strong.
The angry waves about her throng;
She sails In safety on the sea,
Bearing aloft her banner free.
Speed on, good ship, tho adverse tides
Deiuge with spray thy storn-stained sides.
Thy streamers shall forever wave
Where e'er thy mission is to save.
Sail on beneath the smiling skies,
The sun OF hope begins to rise
1t IN the bright dawn of the cay
When light shall drive the clouds away,
And temperance ana Truth shall be
Triumphant over land and sea.

Carl. Becker, an emigration agent,
talks thus in the City Item, of last
Sunday, on %emigrants:
"Hundreds of those arriving,
however, from one reason or anoth
er, come entirely denuded Of means,
and the difficulty is to provide
them with shelter until they can be
forwarded 10 their destination. Tn
less this can be done, these poor
people have to lie around the rail
road station or fall into the hands
of the police and spend the nights
at a station house.
And yet the Sugar Boacl and
Times Democrat say they do not ad
v.raie pauper emigration. If that
class Of men are not paupers, they
are first cousins to them, and they
are not needed in lower Louisiana at

Indeed, both good and kind, who
made me feel perfectly ut home.
They set IL nice, clean table, with
plenty of milk, eggs, chickens, vege
tables and good cheer. They were
dignitied, and at the same time
splendid company.

where they make the Eagle Brand

eagle above it, whose grave l saw
when | was in Galveston. His SON

clean as a new pin. l don't think
that you could scrape up a spoon

milk wagons coming, II after
another, in line, tue train appearing
to be a mile long.
Every can. when eMptied had to
undergo a process Of cleaning and
steaming, all done by machinery,
before they we're returned to the
