century. At about this date, i'll times
of war. there were attached to the Ro-

THE snip THAT SAILED.

White sail upon the ocean's verge,
Just crlmsoned by the setting sun,
Thou hast thy port beyond the surge,
Thy happy homeward course to run,
And winged hope, with heart Of fire,
To gaia the bliss of thy desire.
Iwatch thee till the somber sky
Has darlrly yelled the lucent plain;
My thoughts like homeless spirits fly
Behind thee DER the glimmering main;
Thy prov will kiss golden stand,
But they can never come to land.
And IL they could, the fanes are black
Where once bent the rcverent knee,
No shrine would send IN answer back,
No sacred altar blaze for me,
No holy bell, with silver toll,
Declare the ransom of my soul.
TITS equal darkness, here or there;
For nothing that this world can give
Could now the ravagcd past repair,
Or win the precious dead to live
Lies crsmbiing ashes quench its fame,
And every place Is now the same.
Thou idol of my constant heart,
Thou child Of perfect love and light,
That sudden from my side didst part,
And vanish on the seq Of night,
Through whatsoever tempests blow
My weary soul with thine would CO.
Say, il thy spirit yet have speech.
What port lies hid within the pail,
What shore deaths gloomy pillows reach,
Or IL they reach no shore at all!
One word-one little word-to tell
That thou art safe and all is well!
The anchors of my earthly fate,
As they were cast so must they cling;
And naught Is now to do but wait
The sweet release that time will bring,
When all these mortal letters break
For one last voyage that must make.
Say that across the shuddering dark
And whisper that the hour Is near
Thy hand will guide my shattered bark
Till Mercy radiant coasts appear;
That shall clasp thee to my breast,
And know once more the name OF rest.
William Winter In Harpcr's.

a taste should be foStcred but it is even more
desirable that the patriotic sentiment should

leaving them TO be secured if secured at all, by

The bill is objected to in some quarters on the

was not "A genius who would develop into "A pani,t
of the highest rank. Added To their problem or
perhaps to the balance IN favor of the player were
