THE PORT OF PLEASANT DREAMS.

sailed in the good bark Fancy
Down the still, deep river of sleep
From the lands of deep December
To a port that the sunbeams keep;
While the glad winds followed after,
And sang with happy zest,
And heard them Groom DER the infant
moon,
As 1t lay on the nights broad breast.
And the port of the good bark Fancy,
A port that the sunbeams keep,
Is called Pleasant Dreams; like an opal II
CLEANS
Ger the strange, dark river of sleep.
There, flushed with the wine of laughter,
The voyager sings queer sons.
And, borne in a car of the sunset,
Rides oft with the elfin throngs
UP. up through the rosy cloudland,
Where the round little mistmen stay,
To the stars abloom in the cool, soft gloon,
OF gardens far away.
There are none too poor for a voyage
To this port that is centuries DID,
Where hunger e'er finds banquet,
And poverty revels in gold;
Where, robed in the garb of morning,
The earth in new beauty glows,
And the amulet of the summer
Is worn ON the heart of the rose.
Oft from the fields Of sorrow,
To the brink of the river of sleep.
Wan toilers come, and, restful,
They sail on its waters deep;
Till clear through the gates of sundown
The past, like beacon beams,
And love, sweet mariner, anchors
In the port of Pleasant Dreams.
Ingram Crockett, in Frank Leslie's.

At a recent meeting in Berlin of the
Geographical Society, Chief Forest
Master Kessler called attention to the ex-
travagant waste of timber in the United
States. Among osher interesting details
Mr.. Kessler spoke of the tremendous de.
struction of forests in the United States
during recent decades of years. Quoting
from the tenth census, he stated that in
1880 the ,70S saw mills then IN opera
ton converted $120, 900, 900 worth of
raw timber stock into various kinds of
lumber, and he asserted that at the same
rate there would be no good-sized timber
left in forty years. He spoke of the
enormous waste of wood through forest
fires, which are the result, for the most
part, of carelessness or a desire to clear
land for cultivation, and declared that
the planting of new forests, which has
of late years received some attention in
the Eastern States, cannot begin to offset
the waste of forests. He said that there
is every reason to fear that America will
soon be country impoverished for tree
property. Mr. Kessler made the striking
comparison that, while the United States
had but eleven per cent. of its ares
covered by forests, the empire of Ger
many has twenty-six per cent. of its
entire area so covered. Mr.. Kessler said
that the reckless destruction of forest
trees in America and the indifference
manifested by Americans in the restora-
ton of forests is menace, not alone to
the wealth of the nation, but threatens
serious deterioration both to the climatic
conditions and the fertility of the soil.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IA, 1891
JOuN'S ENGLISH HAND.

John Bull seems to have determined
upon a general crusade against the
republics of America. Not content
with endeavoring to imbroil Chilli and
the United States in war by false
statements and Misrepresentation as
to the action of American officers dur
the late revolution in Chilli. he is now
endeavoring to throw discredit upon
the republic of Brazil and by spread
ing false reports of her internal con-
dition destroy her finances and so
cripple her as to make merchandise
of her distress, and this simply be-
cause Brazil has cOncl1ueG a trade

,, - deny the reports
-a,,sred in London concerning the
so-called revolution and pronouncing
them of British manufacture, are very
pertinent illustrations of English IN
fairness and meanness. That these
reports are not believed in the finan-
cial circles to which they are origin
ally sent is evident from the facts
Brazilian securities are rising instead
of falling in the English market at
the very time that reports are wired
from Rio Janeiro that the whole
country is on the eve of revolution,
three provinces having already seced-
ed and the military beginning to
show signs of dlsaffection. That
leading commercial nation
like England should stoop TO
such means of revenge upon q
foreign nation because she can
not control her commerce is bad
enough, but it is not so diabolicaI as
her conduct has been in the case OF
Chilli. There England has played a
bold game and one that bid fair a.
