Few Old Sailing Vessels.

From table in the reports respecting
casualties to ships, which shows the ages
OF vessels, II is surprising to find how very
ancient many of the craft still doing serv
ice really are. Thirty nine sailing vessels
are between so and 60 years old, eighteen
are between 60 and 70 years. thirty are be-
tween 10 and 100 and six are actually above
a century old
While these numbers represent only a
small proportion Of such ancient mariners
still Sailing the wintry SEAS" it must not
be thought they refer only to barges or
craft engaged in river or inland naviga
ton.
The Juno Of Beaumaris, built l06 years
ago, met with her mishap while OH coast
ing voyage, and the Endeavor, Plymouth,
still older craft, in seeking to act up to
her name, came to grief while on voyage
from Dunkirk.
What is more surprising still, the same
casualty list contains the names Of two
steamships, one above sixty years and the
other above ninety years old.
On consideration however, 1t is obvious
that these vessels must have originally
been built ~ sailing vessels. rs the periods
named carry us much farther back than
the date at which the Sirius made Ler IA
nous voyage across the Atlantic.
With regard to the ancient sailing yes
sells, too, they must have little or nothing
Of the original structure left. AS long as
there is one single plank left, however, the
vessel retains her identity.-St. Louis Me

WHEN ! GO HOME.

II comes to me often In silence.
When the freight splutters low
When the black, uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths of the long ago;
Always with a throb Of heariache,
That shrills each pulsfse vein,
Comes the old, unquiet longing
For the peace Of home again.
I'm sick Of the roar Of the cities
And of faces old and strange;
know where there's warmth OF welcome
And my yearning fancies range
Back to the dear old homestead,
With an aching sense of pain;
But tbere'll be joy In the coming
When go home again.
When go home againl There's music
That may never die away,
And It seems the hand of angels,
On a mystic harp, at play,
Have touched with yearning sadness
On beautiful, broken strain.
To which Is my fond heart wording
When go homo again.
Outside Of my darkening window
Is the great worlds crash and din.
And slowly the autumn's shadows
Come drifting, drifting In.
8obbing. the night wind murmurs
To the plash of the autumn rain;
But dream Of the glorious greeting
When go home again.

The choolm aster In David Copper1eld."
Owen Thomas, schoolfellow of Charles
Dickens, who contributed much informa
ton to John Forster concerning the early
portion Of the great novelist's life, writes
that Mr.. Creakle, in David Copperfeld,"
was undoubtedly a portraiture in some
respects, of one of the masters of school
which they both attended in Hampstead
Dickens and Mr. Thomas were present
when this gentleman said, in his peculiar
manner, to boy whom he had just caned
"Ah, you may rub, sir, but you will not be
able to rub that out" words which, slight
ly altered, are used by Mr.. Creakle on
similar occasion to his scholars.
But Dickens did not seek to describe the
personal appearance Of the Hampstead
master, the latter having been rather good
looking. I'm Short" says Mr. Thomas,
you may take it that many of his charac.
tiers. especially leading ones, were taken
from living persons, only, to use the words
of Mr.. Dickens to me in reference to one of
them whose original | knew, "a little col.
ored.' lmay be allowed to add that Mr..
Dickens told me he had felt it pleasure
to have been in after years of some service
to our old schoolmaster; and also to one of
the assistant masters - London Tele-
