'.Oh. well. the fact is some of us have
sailing masters, but l don't think there is a
man in the club owning single or double
sticker who isn't capable Of taking her any
where lust as handily as any old profess
sional," replied my friend, who is we'll
known member of the New York Yacht
Club.
But in races?' persisted.
"Ab, there now, its different when you're
racing. one wants to get all the good points
out of his yacht lie can, and there is where
the sailing master comes in useful. But in
cruising and pleasuring about American
waters, aud even farther a yachtsman's
navigation ought TO stand him in good
stead He must be certifeated man, Of

by Government navigation board?
Why, that would take years of study"
Quite unnecessary p exclaimed the club
man, laughing. How could a busy man
spare the time? He simply supplements
his experience on board his own or his
friends yachts by taking a course at the
AdmiraPs. and he comes out in few weeks
with Il diploma, warranted navigator,
able to sail his boat around the globe. If
he is disposed to be particular about know
ing everything he may even take few ex-
ira lessons and he needn't lose q day from
lis business while he is studying, either"

THE LOST PRENIX.

'MongSt the Snowclad isles of the polar seas,
Those hauuts OF unfathomed mysteries,
On through many ice-blocked shoal.
Under the skies of the Northern Pole,
Where the terrible, icy. arctic gales
Freeze to the masts the ta'tered sails;
On tossing bilOw, through drifting foes,
The phantom Phenix forever goes.
Forever she drifts as ghostly wreck,
For no foot OF sailor treads on her deck;
Icicles deep from her frozen wheel,
Which the helmsmal's hand no more shall feel,
Onward she floats with broken mast.
By lifeless lands she hurries past,
BY giant bergs. whose glistening heights
Are colored by the northern lights,
BY wastes of never-trodden SHOWS
The phantom Phgnix drifting goes
Say, will she reach the "0pen Sea"
Shr0uded in awful mystery?

GEMS In VERSE.
Written for THE SUNDAY CALL.
THE PLANT OF TIE UNSUCCESSFUL.

E are weary Of endeavor;
gle All this folly would shun.
~ a. See, we toll and yet forever
Seems our labor but begun
Naught have we gained-were it not best
To cease from work aud idly restf
What use to strive with pigmy strength
'Gainst the giant power OF Fate?
What good to tell us that at length
All doth come to those who walt?
Have we not bided patiently
FuliIment OF the prophecy
Lo we planted the seed with care,
Well TILED was the furrowed field,
And we hoped that the harvest fair
plentiful crop might yield.
We hoped-ah, wel-the dream was vain;
We garuered not the ripened grain.
Another reaped the yellow wheat.
To his store-hOuse was it borne,
While we in the gloom of defeat
Saw our acres bare aud sh0rn.
For others had our sheayes been bound
To us was left despoiled the ground.
Fen then we made no idle moan;
But turned to our task once more,
And again was the new seed sown
With the faith we had of yore.
Was it not said that those who wait
Shall win a smile from grim-faced Fate?
But the showers OF the quick ming rain
Fell not on the parched soil:
Unreeompensed stil did remain
The weary drudges of toll.
What good was II to watch and waltz
To slave from morn till ey'ning later
What can we show for all the years
Dreary years that seemed so long
Now that our LIES dim twilight nears,
Our limbs no more are strong?
What gifts, what promise have we won?
Alas for us who answer-none
For all the serfdom of the past
Was no sign OF favor shown,
And here now at the very last
We stand Transformations
To wealth of Toll we dreamt us heirs,
And found-a heritage of tares
Where lay the fault? Who was to blame,
All, what use to question so?
Who. what, or why, It's still the same,
For the fruits are lost we know;
And all the fields have sterile grown,
And dead S tie seed that we have sown.
Fierce beat the torrid sunbeams down
From the brass vault OF the sky,
And all the land doth sere and brown
Meath wavering heat-waves lie.
No grateful shade is anywhere;
Naught but The taring binding glare.
o this desolate arid plain
How we loathe the barren waste
And wherefore, then, should we remain7
Nay. Let US fly, let US haste
For y0nder in the distant west
Lie calm and fair the wales OF rest.
We are weary of endeavOr;
Let Us end it and be done
Let Us end the strife forever,
Years are lost and naught is won.
Let blame who will we deem II best
Norktime shall cease and we viii rest.
No longer from de sert soil
VIII strive fair flowers to win:
No longer Will we toll and MOL
Nay, new life shall begin.
LO, in the valleys OF the west,
Where bloom the lotus, We Will rest.

FARE WELL.

Farewell, dear friend, may gentle winds
Bear thee afar to thy fond home:
We know tiny heart was lonely here,
Distant from native land to roam.
Wen miss thee kind one. for thy cheer
Brighten each day with tender deeds.
And acts OF Kindness made thy sphere
The golden one of generous creeds.
When thou hast gained thy happy shore
And ningling with the friends so dear.
VIII thou not sometimes cast thought
Backward to this short, fieeting yearY
Yes, short: for ah. 1t passed too soon:
Thy friendship pure to me was given;
But this sweet thought linger Ger
Wen meet. to part no more. in heaven.

sleeves are light folds of the muslin, very
short and high. The second toilet is a pale
mauve corded silk-the worst Of this mauve
is that it spells the effect of most of the
white gowns which it approaches-with a
scarf of gauze of the same color fastened at
the edge of the open bodice and carried
down the front in bretelles. Gauze dotted
with amethyst pendants covers the front
and sides of the skirt. and the straight folds
are caught up on the left with wisteria
blossoms.
