Moonlight Boating on Rocky Fork.
The shadows dance on the dusky shore,
The shallop speeds at the stroke Of the

And we skim along like Il floating cork,
While the moon is mirrored in Rocky

The bull.frog's bass sounds out from the
bank,
Where he sits in state in the saw-grass,
dank,
And high on the rocks in the darkness

Rasps the invetcrate katy-did.
Above the freely ftfully glows,
Down the gorge light breeze blows,
Bearipg from meadows far away
The fragrant odor Of new-mown hay.
The shore-linc fades to shadow dim,
As the boatman bends to his task with

The rushes rattle along the keel,
And anon the shock of rock VIC feel.
The west is red with sunset CLEAN,
The stars in the sky are seen in the

Around the shallop the current curls.
And above us black bat swiftly whirls.
The rifle past, We softly glide
Where cliffs rise high on either side,
And the moonlight shining the boughs

Carpets the waters will, mystic sheen.
The boatman rests in the cliffs broad

And we listen to natures serenade;
And save the notes Of whip.poor.

And the murmuring water, all is still.
Cah.splash! and the boat no longer

But stops with jerk AMI forward leaps,
And the walls of c!iir around return
The musical lali.l, of the girl in the

The splash OF the oars in time exact
Is lost in the roar OF a cataract,
But all unheard the paddles play
Till the din of the water dies away.

ParOdy-Old Oaken Bucket


How sad to my heart are the scenes Of
my childhood,
When dark recollection presents them
to view;
The wood-pile, the pig.pen, the snakes
in the wildwood,
And every thing bad that my infancy
knew.
The old broken reaper, the dull rusty
corn-knife,
Whose stories no writer with justice
can tell;
The feas in the stable, the "stings" in
the beehive,
And all the dead toads that we drew
from the we'll;
The poor little todies, the sweet little
todies,
The kind, loving todies tEat dropped
in the we'll.
l remember with sadness, my first win
ter's schooling,
When tus'ling for life, with my A B
and G;
How strove with my might, against
scolding and ruling,
For the "head OF the class" where I
never could be;
I remember the "big boys" that gave
me their blessing,
By touch Of the foot, or pull at my
hair,
And the girls, too, who always were
small boys caressing,
Shunned nae as they would wild
beast in his lair.
And fresh in my mind is the time when
stumbled
When clad in my best Sunday gar
ments of white,
And into dark-colored mud-puddle
tumbled,
Thus making my wardrobe horrible
sight,
The beautiful linen, the snow-white
linen,
The linen reduced to sorrowful sight

How a Desperate Sailors Life Was Saved

 "rve known good luck to be brought by shark" said an old salt. "When Twas an ordinary seaman, lying in a harbor down Porto Rico way, the chief mate, who was a bully, told me one day shouldn' go ashore. Out of spite, and being a passionate rascal, hated by all hands, he hung about to see that 1 didn't give him the slip. was determined to go ashore. and so threw off my shoes and jacket and took a header off the fo'c's'le rail and struck out. The mate outs with revolver and lets fly at me. There was a moon and the water was full of fire, and he could see me plain enough. Finding he'd missed, and that 1 was still swimming, he whips off half his clothes, as was afterward told, and jumped in after me. 1 allow his notion was to have drowned me could he have come up with me. Some of the hands looked on, and they told me what hap pened. I hadn't heard the mate jump, and didn't, therefore, know he was fol- lowing me; but I thought he might lower a boat and I swam hard to get ashore first. resolving to desert that vessel, if so be 1 could get foot upon dry land We'll, it wasn't two minutes after the mate had made his plunge when l heard frightful scream behind me. All it was to frighten me, though the sound of it nearly froze my blood. and I went on saving through it, arm over arm, til the water was Tn blaze all about me- I got ashore and stood look no chase was being made, 1 went leis- urely into the town and had a night of it.
 ''NeXt morning man asked me if l was the young chap that had jumped overheard to swim ashore. said Yes Well, then, says he, the mate follow ed ye and saved your life How dye mean?' says l. Why, he says, a min ute after your were in the water shark rose to you. The men on the forecastle saw his figure plain. Before they could sing out the mate jumped. The splash he made seemed to fright9n the shark for a second, for the fiery line of him vanished. The mate swan right for him: some of your chaps roared out. suppose the. poor devil thought they was deriding of him. The hext thing seen was his body hove up to the waist out of water and flashing of White, shining water about him; then he just gave one shriek.' 'Har said I, shudderin', I heard that shriek' 50 you see, sir said the speaker, addressing me, that sharks can bring luck to a vessel. But what sort of luck does your story illus trate?' said I, staring at him. Why he answered, wasn't it a first-class stroke of luck for crew to get rid of a bullyin' mate without having to lift finger against him? If it hadn't been for that there shark I should have lost my chest and clothes, for 1 didn't mean to return, and, of course, they would have been sacrificed.
