Summary Of the Reports of Wrecks in
Delaware Ray and Elsewhere.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept l3.-It is impossible
at this time to give in detail the number of
lives lost by the great storm in Delaware
bay. But Lewes reports twelve certainly :,
and the crews of the St Cloud and Casilda
are supposed to be lost, which will bring the
list up to twenty-five Then the pilot boat
Tunnel is IN ssing with four pilots and eight
sailors. A report from Norfolk, Va, says a
vessel is ashore near Cape Henry and the
life saving crew can not reach her She is a
steamer.
Three schooners and barge went down
near the Brandy wine shoals and all on board
were lost, and altogether the reports from
this part of the coast put the lost at thirty
nine lives a three ,nasted schooner want
down ON Pollock Rip shoaI and the crew ,~ns
probably lost.
Destruction of Property.
Of vessels lost there is no way of estimat-
ing their number, owing to uncertainty of
the fate of many, but there have been scores
The whole coast is strewn with wrecks. As
to land property-cottages, hotels, etc -
they are also numbered by scores. Piers
break waters, etc, went 10 pieces as though
they had been made of paper, and the losses
must mount up into the millions The sea
made great inroads on the land, washing
away acres and carrying into general ruin
the beautiful cottages built at the summer
resorts.
AT Long Branch three cottages went into
the surf whose value was at least $100 OOO
and for miles up the coast the destruction is
terrible. A number of dead bodies floating
in the surf are Indicative of marine disaster.
The storm is slowly abating now, and the
beleagured guests at the watering places are

'Yes," said Lem Cogburn rehectively, as
he searched his pockets in vain for nickel
to buy some tobies, ''there is no mistake
about it-poverty is crime. 1t compels a
man to be niggardly. 1t engenders lying,
encourages deceit, and prompts men
to steal Generosity is one of the
cardinal virtues, but poor man cannot be
generous. He can scarcely be Just. He is
often compelled to deny his own family the
ordinary comforts of life. He cannot make
the hearts of his children throb with Joy by
bringing home wagon for little Johnny, a
tricycle. to Willie, and doll to Sarah Jane.
He must stife every generous impulse,
every kindly heart-throb, at the bidding of
the fend Poverty.
Ills nobler nature iskept in bondage. and
when it seeks to break the iron bars of It's
prison house, Poverty glares at him and
scowls ana mocks at his efforts. Finally.
through sheer necessity, his heat shriyels
up like dried ounce into an insignificant
and contemplate little ball of solidi-
fed selfshness. Then he is capa-
blh of the heartless 1ittleness necessary to
become rich, but he is no longer capable of
enjoying life Or of contributing to the hap
piness of others. Poverty, say, is crime,
and am in favor of its destruction by
proper legislative enactments."

An Interesting Study.

THE subject of mental associations, re-
marks a writer in one of our recent ex-
changes, is one of the most fascinating and
illusory puzzles of the human mind. The
most homogeneous objects are indissolubly
connected in our thoughts, and suggest one
another at most Inappropriate times. Not
everyone, however, has so clearly defined
set of associations as the gentleman whom
we quote below.
An interesting study might be afforded
by comparison OF the objects suggested to
other minds by the same names: byron re-
minds me of splendid tiger lily; Keats, of
golden wine. When 1 think Of Milton,
see a vast cathedral. When I think of
Wordsworth I see long, solitary avenue of
oaks. The name of Shelley makes me think
of perfume, of clear fire on hearth, and of
a melody heard long ago. When 1 meet
Chaucer's name, always see the light from
a painted window falling on a table on
which lies an illuminated missal. Herrick
calls up for me the picture of girl with
laughing eyes. Two visions are connected
with the name of Spenser. One is dim
forest, through which a minstrel wanders;
the other dark, quiet lake, on which a
shadowy bark is floating. Cowper makes
me think of hermit; Whittier, OF soldier;
Tennyson, of a castle; Burns, of lonely
moor; Scott, of crag; Landor, of a Greek
vase, and Longfellow, of belfry tower at
dusk"
