the time, and when she had got about i've
miles out into the gulf the pilot boat Under
writer caught sight of her, and seeing that
she was in danger, went to her assistance
On reaching the strange craft it was found
that her rudder was broken and she was
unmanageable-in fact, that she was an old
fashioned scow or fatboat, with two short
masts and q jib The calkiug was coming
out of the seams. she had no bulkheads or
strengthening braces, or any similar device
of marine architecture. The only living
things aboard were one man, his wife, TWO
children, and a dog. These adventures
were all the way from some interior poip'
in Arkansas, on their way to Florida "ltn-
out knowledge or even chart, chronometer'
or other maritime appliances. Ihere WAS
no water aboard, and but it'll. proVlsons.
The captain of this Dondescript must have

water and provisions, and 60 ahead when
ever be desired. he had. he said, oeen SIX

WHAT CAN I pO9

What can do? am only a girl!
What can do in the world S busy whi-1?
Others have money and influence strong,
But what can do toward rghtng the wrong
That ! see rushing on in a widening stream?
would not stand idle and carelessly dream,
But what car dor
What, can you do? Do you ask from your
heart?
As only girl, will you do girls part?
Much can you do if bravely and true,
You use all the gifts God hath given to you.
You can show by your acts you have taken
stand
For God, for home. and your own native
This much you can do.
Then you can help by your ,0ords every day,
Patiently scattering seed by the way.
You NAV not see fruit for long time to
come
But out of the many you've nplifued some.
Some will be stronger because you are strong;
Some Will more eagerly battle the wrong;
And this you can do.
Let the words that you say, the acts that you
Always show forth for the good aud the true;
To your acts and your words add tact and
With these many difficult things can be faced.
Use all your talents in the cause of the right
And for Temperance you can sing and recite.
All this you can do.
Don't wait for great things in a distant "some

But do the small things that come in your
way.
Always be careful to show where you stand
Opportunity is ever our Fathers command.
II you only are earnest, thoughtful and true
A great many things will your hands find to
do.
Work away, and the Father will show you

How many you've gladdened and helped on
the way.
"Only girl" but there's work you can do
"Only GIRL and we greatly need you
Come join us and work with your heart and
your hand,
For God, for home, and our own native land.

A Story of SomnambuIism.

An eminent lawyer was on visit at
Mimic, in the lifetime of the Second earl
of that name and day or two before
the hearing of an Important case in
which he had been retained as coun-
sci. He had brought with him bundle
of papers connected with the suit in
question, and these he took up with hin,
to his bedroom. On the following day
the packet could nowhere be found.
Careful search was, of course, made,
but quito in vain; and eventually the
advocate had to go into court without
it. Years passed without any tidings OF
the missing bundle, till the same gen
tleman CHANGED to be once more the
guest at Mimic and occupying the same
bedroom. The morning after his ar
rival he awoke to see the long-lost
papers lying on his dressing table.
1.-The presumption is" according to
Miss Cobbe, "that on the first occasion
he hid them in his sleep, and on the
second visit he found them in his sleep,
but where he hid and found them has
never been discovered. "-S. James
Gazette.
