Oh, love that came unbidden,
Oh, secret ever hidden,
oh, aching heart with duh and sudden beat.
Beyond each others sight and KEN
We've passed tue slow years OF our youth.
You with another love;
still a maiden, dreaming old, old dreams,
Fainter and farther ever,
Fading never, ali, never,
Weird. and nearly spent as autumn streams.
Sometimes a recollection comes:
Now in the chilly morning. now at ever
OF some sweet cherished word.
Or soulful kiss, o; sympathy of heart
Oh, memory. cease thy strain;
Thy backward flight is vain;
Peace will not come till haunting dreams depart
Life stretches long before me yet,

And teaches deeds of sweetness.
Yet sweeter hours my soul shall never know

Oh, first loves early prime.

prevent them from carrying out their

than a.. he SAYS that on September o.
1882, he patented passenger steamship
from which, he asserts, the idea *of the
American Steel Barge Company proposed
passenger whalebaek was obtained.
The proposed whaleback is to have deck
over the hull supported by rows of pillars.
This deck is to be practically steel plat
form. and on it is to be constructed some
thing like a two-story house. In this house
are TO be all the features that distinguish
the cabins OF the big passenger steamers OF

The ships having keel three feet,

forty-six feet vertical strength. The hollow
stanchions are utilized as veutiiators for the
steerage cabin and connect with pipe run

steam fans at the after end. The second
class and steerage have the entire main
deck and are completely isolated from the
first-class passengers, who are also cut off
from all odors from engines OF ship. The
windows of the rooms will be three feet

When Captain Pierce had his passenger
steamship patented he issued q circular

to his plaUs was never built, .though.~-His

neither sink nor burn. The sectional view
shows that Captain Pierce's ship would
have no straight sides, all lines being
rounded. Unlike the whalrback, his boat
was to have hollow steel keel
