VOICES OF THE DEEP.

The breakers run along the beach in white ard
serried lines
And chant their anthems TO the breeze tha,
whispers through the pines;
Sometimes in organ tones deep-drawn. some
times in notes PITCHED high,
Sometimes in gurgling laughter soft some
times in moan and sigh:
Then sometimes. too, in lisping love the sanded
beach they kiss
And seem 20 gather in low song paradise OF
bliss.
Roll. waves, against the golden sand, with
motion strong and free
hut in YOUR loud or lowest tones the spirits
whisper me,
And in your mrrored 6ccps and glooms
strange pictures do see.
Tho ghosts Of hopes now past and gone which
once your currents bore,
Tho faces OF the dead you threw upon your
sahded shore,
Tho barduoa which sank and unto men no more
their loved ones gave,
The bright eyes quonched, the hoarts which
found In you guarded grave;
The loves ana lives, and stalwart forms which
vanished mid your roar,
And homes which gave their best 10 you ard
saw them neyeFmore,
Roll waves against your pine'tringNd hills
with murmurS sad and low
surge restless blllows M you awiRg majestic
Ia and fro,
read deep undortones OF grief that with you
come and 60
The man who In your mighty arms lay down TO
aFeamless rest
The one who IN tho grasp OF death named her
who loved him best
And one who on your heaving tide lay stretched
in your embrace
The love which death could not destroy im-
printed on her face
You tore the loving ones apart, but with their
latest breath
The names they loved you heard, and Knocked
and hurried them 10 death.
Moan, waves against the sombor beach. as
though regret ana pain
Come o'er you for the faithful ones your
crnelties have slainl
What wonder that q sigh subduod runs
through your minor strain'
Sing too OF those who on you float to happl-
ness and bliss,
Who never see you but IN moods as innocent
AS this,
Who love the holows and the hills your crystal
current laves,
The murmur OF your deep content, the crystal
OF your waves,
The lights and shadows flashing gold-like
shuttles 10 and fro
The caps OF white which deck your brows like
wreathes OF rufiied snow.
Sing. happy waves OF white-winged barques
that DER your drift and float,
True lovers drifting DER your deeps as in q
fairy boat,
For them glad sounds OF wedding bells en-
rich your every note.
Sing too, of moons that turn your spray TO dia-
monds in the night,
Each one gem Of purest ray with crystal
heart alight;
The stars which battle themselves deep down
within your mirrored waves,
The shadow that upon your plane its pictures
grand engraves,
The hills and forests that deep down within
your bosom sleep
AS though the real were the ideal reflected
from your deep.
Swing slow your censers, silver-gilt, and filled
with twinkling stars;
Hide dec in tints of green and gray your hor-
rors and your scars;
Sing still your mighty scale that runs along q
thousand bars.
But never think oh mighty sea- to hide away
from me
The lights and shadows Of long years that in
your depths see,
Dread phantoms OF the stormy past ghost-
forms of things to be.

Mt. NEENrH. ILL.,. Feb 2l.-The sun
rose this lnornin. on an appalling scene
OF dcsolation. To the southwest of the
court house where the cloud first dropped
down, immense oaks arr twisted from

northeast across the railroad the scene

AT each session of congress. says
the Grand Forks Herald, the repeal
of the pre-emption and timber culture
acts is threatened. Several times the
house has passed bills embodying radi-
cal and sweeping notifications of the
present laws. Perhaps the most ex.
treme measure ever proposed was the
proposition appearing in the bill hc.
fore the last house to place Il large
class of disputed land claims in the
hands of the land Office commissioner
for final adjudication; and this at the
time when Sparks was the commits
sioner. 10 this preposterous scheme
the senate of course would not consent
and so the two houses failed to con.
cur in this minor feature of the bill
and the bill failed altogether. although
it is believed that Il majority of both
houses are in favor OF repeating the
pre-emption and timber culture rights.
The refusal of the senate to agree to
fhe wild projects to which the house
clung tenaciously, resulted in nothing
being accomplished. There is no
ground for believing that the present
session is likely to accomplish more
than its predecessors. The house
committee on public lands is reported
as working on bill providing for the
absolute repeal of both laws, but it i.
in the highest degree improbable tla
either party cares to enact any radi
cal legislation on the eve of the presi
Dental campaign. The pre.emptiol
law will not be repealed this winter

The work Of rescuing the victims Of
the disaster was at once begun. Whole
families were found buried under their
roofs without warning. save that given
by the storm cloud as it bounded over
the earth like an Immense rubber ball.
Tie slaughter was appalling. The
wounded lay in the remnants of over a
hundred houses, and every few moments
.. dead body battered out of all SEM
blancc to humanity, was tenderly
dragged from lis prison and borne to a
place of safety.
In all 500 buildings are destroyed and
inany others injured. The dead are now
being gathered at the supreme court

everything possible is being done for
them. Lundberg, the foreman of the work,
