paper. You declined, and returned 1t to

poetry with a sausage machine" Now
won't be crushed, and l propose to show
up your attempt to throttle budding gen.
Jus. Publish this card and the following

THE POEM.
I stood upon the oceans sandy beach,
And with reed wrote upon the sand these words
"Agnes, love thee y
But the winds came and the waves rolled mountain
high,
And blotted out the fair impression.
Cruel waves, treacherous sand, fragile reed;
No longer will trust to thee,
But from the highest mountain peak III pluck the
tallest pine,
will write
Upon the high and FURNISHED heavens these words
"Colored Aristocracy is showing to the biggest au
dience ever known, and giving an entertain.
ment that will take your breath away"
And would like to see any dog-gone wave wasf

feet safety and gain valuable time In maxi

from the northward and eastward. / am
satisfied that this aid would be of great
use to all craft making harbor here and
IL you could investigate the matter, and
present it In your usual way to the proper

great favor on many masters who have
experienced the want of this aid. Any
further information concerning this mid

The following communication from
Captain Mckenzie, Of the Middle Island
life saving station appeared in the Marine
Record Of last week:
AS The Marine Record takes great in
terest In advocating aids to navigation,
am satisfied that you will bring to the
notice OF the officials interested the need
Of buoy on the middle ground In the
channel between Middle Island and the
main land, which bears about w. 8. w. II
to II miles from the life saving station
situated on the northwest point Of the
island. Captains who make this harbor
for shelter, are we'll aware Of It's danger
and the need of such an aid. There is q
good channel through inside with about
three fathoms, but masters fear taking
any chances Of running 1t, as they are
liable to fetch up on this reef, which can
not be located with any certainty even In
daylight. Many vessels when caught In
harbor with sudden heavy weather, of
