Out on the waters found floating,
Only a Magdalen's clay
Only frail lamb that wandered
From the shepherds fold away.
Over the fair face dishgured
Cling the wet curls of gold;
Over the passionless bosom
The wan, white hands enfold.
Gather the winding-sheet higher
Over the violet eyes
That even in death seems holding
A CLEAN of the June-time skies;
But lay her away to slumber,
Far from our beautiful dead,
Where never daisy shalt blossom
Over her sinful head.
What right has she to the sunshine
To the songs of singing birds
She who has wandered in by-ways,
Lured by tempting words?
Give her place in the shadow,
Where only the dew and the rain
Shall fall like pitying tear-drops
Over her bed of shame.
God may forgive her-but never
Man, who has led her astray,
Can look with a throb of pity
Upon her Magdalen's clay;
The angels who dwell in the Presence
May make for her spirit room,
But earth has nothing to give her,
Even a rose-tree to bloom.
Then bury her under the shadows,
Where only the dew and the rain
Shall fall like pitying tear-drops
Over her bed of shame.

An attempt is TO be made to deepen
the water on the bar at the entrance to
Brunswick (Ga.) harbor by using dyma-
mite. That part of the bar where the
explosive will be placed is only few
hundred feet in width, and but little
trouble is anticipated in working a
channel across so narrow shoaL
Divers will be sent down with the
dynamite cartridges, who will place
them in the desired position and sink
them to the necessary depth in the
sand. During strong ebb tide the ex-
plosions will be confined TO the outer
side of the bar, so that the sand, when
loosened from its compact state, will
be washed out into deep water by the
force of the outgoing tide. When the
flood tide sets in the work will be re-
moved to the inner side of the bar, and
the sand on that side blown up so that
it can be washed into deep water in
the Sound.

know l should have shrunk back in
horror at the thought of any one else
doing as did; but like so many of our
most bitter, trying, and too often
humiliating experiences in life, it came
upon me before I was aware of its eX-

held me in hand-to-handc conflict that
seemed to rend my very life.
Why had ever seen him-why had
1 ever rescued him from the rapids in
which he would certainly have been
hurled to his deeth? Ear better would
it have been for us both, we had often
thought, and more than once said, if ]
had left him to the shorter and more
merciful agony that would ended all
his bitter heartache and rebellion
against fate; for then there would have
been but one to suffer-a brief, physical
pang simply-for 1 had not known him
then, and-God pity and forgiveI- had
not given to him in one passionate
resistless tide the wealth of the affec
tion that had heen garnered in my
very heart of hearts-not, indeed, un
sought, but untouched-all these
years.

Suicide, by means of stychnine, re-
calls TO mind the fact connected with
the discovery of strychnine in 1918, by
the French chemists, Pelletier and cav
erton. They called the new poison
Vauqueline, in honor of their former
master, the eminent chemist, Yauvue-
lin. But old Vauquelin, having seen
the terrible suiferings of the animais
on which the effect of the poison was
tried, begged the two discoverers not
to connect his name in any way with
this terrible 4'new substance" and II
was then that sh ychnine re aivcd the
