ON COHASSET'S LEDGE.
The Bark Il Opes Runs Ashore in a Fog
An UnlucLy Trim.

An Unlucky Trip.
The bark Joseph A. Ropes of New York;
Captain Seabury, 10l days from Madagas-
car, with a cargo of hides, bound for Boston,
ran ashore during dense fog at 10 o'clock
on che Goth, on the "Grampasses,n a Sc les of
sunken lodges about mile off the Cohasset
coast, and about two miles southwest of Min
OTIS ledg ligh house. She lays easily slight
ly heeled TO starboard, and is making no
water and apparently uninjured. The cap
tain lost his bearing in the thick fog and
while anding ''off and on" across the bay,
making frequent soundings, ,drift2d in among
the lodges and into his present position. His
last sounding showed eighteen fathoms of
water, and he grounded soon after
The position of the vessel is directly in tho
midst of the several lodges with which the
coast abounds, and it is a miracle that she
reached the Grampasses without striking on
some of the other le geS on any other one of
which she would undoubtedly have been
much mora seriously damaged. Captain
Seabury states that the fog bell on Minot's
lighthouse was not struck once while he was
in the vicinity during the fog. He will re-
port the case to the authorities at Washing
ton. His statement is sustained by that Of
his crew.
The tug Confidence is laying near the bark
and Boston pilot Is aboard of her. An
effort will be nado to haul her off at high
tide, and if the tide is as high as this morn
ing it will probably be successful
On October 6, last on the trip out to NADIA
gascar, the vessel struck q whale and stove
in her bow. She was repaired while in port.
On the trip home the captains wife, who was
on board was taken sick with Zanzibar
fever and died on the 18th inst. Her body
is on board and will be taken to Boston for
burial.

THE MYSTERY.

l.
Should not the dread of dying
Be soothed by the thought that we know
Millions have gone before us,
And that all of US have TO goa
So, sooner or later, the secret will bo
Found out by you, as well as by me.
Perhaps there may be no secret to solve,
And the joys, the sorrows, the pleasures
and pain
That delight or distress us here below
Shall end with death-and by it we gain
The peace of sweet tranquility
The r,st that shall eternal be!
To some the thought Of meeting again
With those who have only gone before
Is pleasure so great they lcng to go
And be with the loved ones ever more.
Still, it's a mystery, fathomless, deep,
If death is but a dreamless sleep.
But why should the thought of dying
Distress either you or me,
When we know that each one living
Some day with the dead shall be!
But whether again the pulses beat,
The heart throb, or the eye shall see,
Still, still remains "The Mysteryl"
