RAMMED BY A WAR SHIP.
Abandoned Maine Schooner Drisko Cut in
Two-Her Crew All Right.

San Francisco, CAL, November "A
private letter received in this city from
one of the officers of the cruiser San
Francisco relates an exciting incident of
the recent voyage from New York to Key
West, Fla. When about $50 miles from
Key West, wreck was sighted. The
man-of-war made for it and found it to
be the schooner Drisko of Jonesport,
Me-, and from her log it was learned that
she was bound from Galveston to Kings
ton, Jamaica.
The schooner, which was loaded with
lumber, had been caught in hurricane
and was swept fore and aft Captain
Watson of the San Francisco decided to
tow the wreck to Key West, but at mid
night the hawsers parted.
The cruiser, however, remained by the
schooner until the next morning, when
Captain Watson deemed it advisable to
blow up the wreck with dynamite. Two
attempts were made, but without sue
cess, when Captain Watson gave orders
to ram the wreck. The San Francisco
was thereupon sent ahead at speed of
about twenty knots and the wreck was
cut in two. The lumber poured off the

had been caught in a hurricane on Octo-

Kingston, Ja., and sprang aleak. She
soon became waterlogged, and when the
steamer reached her those on board were
ready to abandon her.

MRS. KNIFE AND MIR. FORK.

"a nursery tale for grown-up children)
Mrs. Knife was tall ana stately,
Mr.. Fork was short and slim;
She was Keen ana nightly polished,
He was cruel, sharp and grim.
She had such a cutting manner,
He had such a pryIng way,
Each and every friendly meeting
Ended in clashing fray.
Mr.. Fork was rich-and single,
What we call bachelor;
Mrs. Knife, a buXOm widow
Judging rom the dress she wore.
None had known her worthy husband,
Long since gone beyond recall
Wicked people often limited
He had never lived at all!
Mrs. Knife had one dear daughter,
Pretty. modest silva Spoon
She was born in classic Boston,
Where all final "R's" they prune!
Mr.. Fork had long admired her,
Longed his princely wealth to cast
AT the feet OF his adored one;
Fortune favored him at last.
One day pretty Silva walking,
Needless OF her steps, | ween
Tripped nimble foot and tumbled
Pump into the soup turreel.
Mr. Fork observed her danger,
With shriIl, metallic whoop,
Plunged him meath the steaIning caldron-
Mr Fork was in the soup!
How he fought the seething bilIows
l shall not attempt to tell,
Only that he saved the maiden
Did il, too, extremely we'll.
Out upon the shore he Castor
Children, this is but pun!
Please forgive your reckless author.
Truly il is meant in fun.
Well, to cut my story shorter.
Silva married Mr.. Fork;
Poor old fool was so elated
That his heart seemed light as cork:
And mis- ardOr was not dampened
Even when she pleaded thusi
Dear mamma Will be so lonely,
she must go to live with us"
Were they happy ever after?
Would that could say in sooth,
That they We're; but honor urges
Me to tell the naked truth
Many moons have WaneG and vanished.
Many years have come and gone
Human nature never changes,
And the cashing still goes on!

Another page has turned for thee
In LIES vast book to-day
A page writ Iull of things that be
Both sad and gay.
And hast thou scanned this page of thine,
just at this last
Ere it shall close and through all time,
BE OF the past?
What hidden thoughts and acts, revealed
10 thee alone!
How many kindly deeds concealed
Fen from thine own?
And what perchance TO make thee blush
E'en to recall
Bring to thy face youths burning flush
To own it all!
Life is made up of good and i'll,
TO all must come
Those darker hours, whose darkness will
The daylight snun.

Shines out most fair:
In thine own hand now lies the might

And when the year has filed each line
Unto its close.
And thus each year as passeth time

much of the Bible. He can never study it
too thoroughly. But he need not aim to
be man OF one book in the sense OF re-
fusing aid from other books. The Holy
Spirit waits to enlighten the minister who
humbly seeks such enlightenment, but
since the author of many printed page
has had enlightenment from this one true
source, Light may well be sought from
such reflected rays. God made the sun,
and He made the moon also. And we do
not despise the reflected light of the
moon. The wise minister will not de-
spise any book that helps him to under
stand more clearly, OF to see in more
beautiful coloring the truths of the Di-
vine Word. But the wise minister will
be man OF one book in seeking subjects
for his discourses. The man who has to
hunt through the columns of the daily
newspaper to find a theme for his Sunday
sermon, or even to hit upon a taking title
Tor his discourse, has mistaken his call to
preach, at least for that particular occa-
sion. Current events may direct the
mind 10 certain portions of Scripture, or
may serve TO illustrate them, but since
the Bible has 10000 texts and topics all
suited Tor pulpit themes, and as each has
behind it the promise that it shall not re-
turn void to him who has uttered 1t, 1t Is
folly to play hazard with pulpit opportu-
mites by descending to meaner themes"
The New y York Ct,uchntan p. e. pays
handsome tribute to the Pope. 1t says;
In former times the great boast OF the
Papacy was that it enforced uniformity
III religious speculative opinion. 1t was
to the world the oracle of religious truth,
and papal bull was the PRONUNCIATION
of dogmas and doctrines which should be
accepted by the whole Latin and leu
tonic world. The refusal of assent to
papal decree in the area of speculation,
theological or scientific, was visited by
penalties ranging in severity from ex-
communication to burning at the stake.
The bull was backed by the auto do Je,
and IN too many cases men, as well as
devils, believed and trembled. The alb
surdlty of the papal claims in this respect
eliminated in the decree of infallibility,
which, nowadays, even by Romanists, is
often explained away so as to mean moth
ing, while, by the rest OF mankind, it is
treated with goodhumOred derisiOn.
But the present Pope has turned over a
new leaf in the history of the Vatican.
lie neither Whines about the loss OF the
temporal power, nor Eliminates curses
against heretics, nor tries to rivet the
claim of dogmatism by the PRONUNCIATION

wisdom which history has ever recorded
