STEAM GRAFT.

An applicant for the position of super
visor general of steam boats, for the Weet
naturally supposed that this part of the
country had more steamers than the
East. An examination has satisfied hin
that he is mistaken and he is frank
enough to own up. To an interviewer
he said:
"Do you know how many vessels, pro-
PEELED wholly or in part by steam. there
are coming under our steamboat inspec-
ton laws! Well, tell you-5,441 Now,
you couldn't guess within a mile of the
relative percentages upon different
water. On the Atlantic coast and rivers
running into the Atlantic we find As per
cent, nearly half. The Northern lakes
have % per cent of the steam vessels of
the country. The Pacific COAT has per
cent. Now what have we left in our 15,-
700 miles of navigable streams in the
Mississippi Valley? Why, just % per
cent, little more than one-ffth of the
steam craft of the United States. 1
don't know whether these figures lie,
but that is the way they appear on the
official records. Last year they were
transported by steam vessels in this
country 100000 people. Ofthis num-
Der these transported on Western rivers
were only $4,000, 900. Pm afraid the facts
arainst us when we claim the Supervis-
ing Inspector General for the West on
the score of the majority interest in the
service.

scene of grotesque horror.
There were times when Capt. Babson
was inclined to blame himself for having
suffered hundred bloodthirsty pirates
to live, whose lives had been once so
completely within his power, either to
take or to spare; but two sources of con-
ISOLATION were his: First-He had not the
blood ola defenceless fellow-creature up
on his hands; and, Second-He had
caused those hundred wretches to suf.
fer an agony of torture to which death
might have been far preferable.
Capt. C. P. Heustis, when he told me
the story, smilingly added:
"The last time l saw Captain Babson,
he took from his pocket-book, where he
carried it neatly folded, a certificate of
non-indebtedness, in due form, from his
consignees at Singapore, wherein they
acknowledged the receipt of just and
equivalent for twelve gross
of copper canvas tacks, by him expend-
ed, for the use Of himself and crew, on

TEMPTATION.

Go ask the strong man, be of hOnors might,
Hath he not bowed his head and fought the fight
'Gatn6t strong temptation cast before his way,
That fain would bind him with its magic sway
Hath not the channels of his hOnOr's mind
Grown vapid with increasing right confined?
Hath not the queens of beauty e'er beguiled
His VOW of faith, while they upon him smiled?
Look on yon maid, she who in virtue dreams!
,Twere sacrilegious 10 fnstill the CLEANS
OF helPs own fendishness meath rosy guise;
Look love, speak love, tempt through loves eyes.
Her ways OF love are sweetly pure and fair,
The future holds her precious fruits and rare;
Yet virtues only virtue in its worth,
When it fells temptation to the earth.
Then boast not worldly mani boast as you may,
Temptation stalks by night or light OF day;
Nor priest, nor maid nor king, nor mortal thing
But feels the touch of sharp Temptations sting.
Rear In yoUr might and right, and virtues proof
VIII bid the foul tempter stand aloof.

WHAT WOULD 1 DO.
BY JOSEPHINE d. HILL.

What would do, little blue eyes,
Were / rich, and young, and fair?
would build magnificent palace
With everything costly and rare.
With trees and flowers I'd surround 1t.
With fountains and birds bright and gay,
That would rival the sun of the Indus,
Then what would l do next? You say,
! would build all the fairy stories,
Dolls, piay-houses, and kittens;
would buy pretty dresses and laces,
Abundance of warm hoods and mittens.
Then I'd send out an invitation
To every tired child in the land,
To come to my palace grand,
Wide open I'd fling the windows,
Filtering in sunshine and air;
Wide open would be the gateway,
Whilst i. rich, young, and fair,
Would welcome and kiss the children
And tell them to roam free of care,
Up and down the grand carved stairway,
In and out midst the flowers rare.
Unchecked would be merry laughter
Ringing 20 loud and clear,
Echoing on to the great hereafter,
Ripping SO sweet on the ear,
Then when the little old sand man
Paused at each dropping head
! would nestle and kiss my darlings
As tucked them 30 warm in bed,
But alas. my dear little blue eyes.
I'm not rich or young or fair,
Only tired little woman
With threads of silyery hair.
Inter Ocean.

Book Notices

We have received from the author, John
w. May, Esq. copy of ''Inside the Bar. "
1t is not a saloon to which he refers. The
book is dedicated to his brother members of
the Androscoggin county bar, and consists of
a collection of poems written at various times
and upon various occasions. While, from
the fact that they were written chiefly for
occasions in which the author or the MEM
bers of the association were particularly in
terested, it has a strong local flavor, it will.
nevertheless, interest any who may chance to
peruse them. The book abounds in hits"
and humorous character delineations, and one
can easily picture a convivial occasion en-
livened by the recital of one of these poems.
The volume is enriched by some happy pen
and-nk sketches by Coombs. ANY one at all
familiar with the characters will recognize the
portraits of Judges Wing and Knowlton, and
others The sketch of knowlton, j., in the
act of bringing down the heavy hand of the
law upon the Auburn "Clipper" is especially
good. While the poems are largely in a
humorous strain, they are not all so, and
many show artistic merit. Hoyt, Fogg &
Donham. Portland, are the publishers.

" half the children in the public schools
OF England suffer from headaches. sleep
lessness, somnambulism and shortsight-
edness. The result is laid to the attempt
to make nervous and stupid children keep
up with those more gifted BY nature"
1t seems that the complaint about this
matter. coming from educated people as
we'll as from fathers and mothers, are
worthy the serious consideration of all
who have the education of youth in
charge. If the system pursued occasions
the evils which are attributed to it it
ought to be changed. Education can be
of no benefit without health, and even ed
ucation in the highest sense will be fail

which forces children prematurely for
