On the quay ut midday a merchant stood
and scanned the troubled sea:
"May the God of the mariner shield from
-. harm the Hope OF Ayr" prayed he. >,
The Hope of Ayr is Indian teak and swift
and stanch and true;
She has weathered the Indian Oceans
gales with half of her present crew;
She has sailed the Tagus and Amazon ana
Behring's icy seas,
Braved Polar tempests and hurricanes that
rage round the Hebrides.
Yet my heart is heavy with nameless dread
as that storm-tiled sky view,
For the Hope of Ayr, my star of Hope, is
five weeks overdue.
Yet not for the wealth the vessel bears are
my hopes and fears to-day,
Tho laden with costly merchandise from
the marts of far Cathay;
There are silken fabrics from famous looms
and porcelain service rare,
And jet veined marbles, and antique
bronze, and jewels a queen might wear.
Quaint ivory trinkets from Afric lands and
curios in gold,
Araby's perfumes and Ceylon spice all rest
in my vessels hold;
Yet not for all this princely wealth are my
anxious fears" said he,
"For she bears the Rose Of Womanhood,
my bride that is to be-
Her starry orbs are as softly black as the
fur seals gentle eyes,
And her cheeks have stolen the roseate
tints of Aurora's blushlng skies.
Her hair like the heath-cock's sable wing,
or the ebon plumes of night,
Is jet black lustrous coronal DER queen
ly brow snow-white;
Her pure lips shame the brightest hues OF
a ruby coral spray,
And her voice is as low and sweet and
clear as the Persian bul-bul's lay;
And the modest grace of the palm that
bends to the South winds coy caress,
| Is Stella's own, but more to me than hel
marvellous loneliness,
Is the pure and fervid and constant love
my darling brings to me,
May God, in His mercy, shield from harm
the Hope of Ayr" prayed he.

A sullen murmur of rushing wind and
la sh of rnin from the clouds

A sullen murmur of rushing wind and a
dash of rain from the clouds,
And the seas wild waves came sweeping in
in their eerie foamy shrouds,
Came shrieking over the coral bar and
through the crescent bay,
And madly pIunging upon the strand in
sheets OF snowy spray.
And tiercer the wind each moment blew
and the rain came driving down,
Till the wreck of plants and the limbs of
trees lay thick in the startled town.
And the surf on the bar like a raging fiend
screamed out it's wild despair,
AS the warning peals of the beacon's bell,
storm voiced rang through the air.
Far on the horizons murky verge dim
and trembling light
Like the ignis:tatuUs' spectral ray, now
seen, now hidden quite,
Came family flashing its message dread to
the anxious eyes on shore;
Then the pilot, bent with the weight OF
years, said: THE boy my dead wife
bore,
The pride of my prime and the hope of my
age is voyaging over the sea,
In an DER due frigate-The Hope of Ayr
God grant it is not She"

By this the night was coming fast and the

BY this the night was coming fast and the
cloud-draped westering sun
Was nearing the Occident slumber land
where the Orient dawn had begun;
And straining their eyes through the deep
ening gloom they saw the Hope of Ayr,
With shuddering thrill of her strong teak
frame in human-like despair,
Plunge on the reef where the pillows broke
into clouds of snowy foam,
The prey of the sea she had braved so long
and only league from home;
only league And strong men wept in
helpless, blind despair,
As the waves swept over the battered hulk
that once was the Hope of Ayr.
At last, like vail the mercfuG dusk hid
the stranded ship from view;
But stormier still through the nights long
hours the irenzied ocean grew,
And when from the mourning couch OF
-, Night the dawn crept cold and gray,
The wreck of the bonny Hope of AyI
strewed the shores of the crescent bay
And the merchant seeking his dear dead
love and the Pilot his sons cold clay,
On their errand dread in search of theil
dead met at the break of day.
And 10! on the sands were bodies twain
close clasped in last embrace;
Maiden and man lying side by side with q
smile ON each dead face.
And the merchant sobbed as he knelt bS
me maid: This was my promised
may" sighed the Pilot, "My dead som,
-, wife for year before they died;
Ihey were voyaging homo with their little
babe-a mother and wife was She"
"'Tis false |" cried the merchant, "Thii
-, virgin clay borne here by the cruel set
was my own true love my bride betrotheC
home bound in the Hope of Ayr"
And the Pilot answered, "His wife was sh,
whose dead arms clasp her there"
And near from his heart he portal
drew saying, "This was the bride h,

the face, My love and his bride ar

saying, Thus do pardon theei

Chinese Laundrymen Have No Show.

y
Secretary Carlisle has replied to Ger
tain inquiries as to whether he will en-
clusion act, as follows:
1. AS the act of May 5, 1892 entitled
"An act to prohibit the coming of
Chinese persons into the United States"
has not been repealed, it will be enforced
SO far as lies in the power of this depart
ment.
2. Section IA of the act approved May
g. 1899, entitled "An act to execute Ger
tain treaty stipulations, relating to Chi
nese," provides that thereafter no State
court or court of the United States shall
admit Chinese to citizenship, and all
laws in conflict with this act are hereby
repealed"
This provision of law is in full force
and the naturalization of Chinese is
therefore illegal.
3. Chinese merchants established in
business in the Uuited States who may
depart therefrom with the infection of
returning thereto, to be PERMITTED to
TO land upon submission to the collector
If customs at the port of first arrival of
evidence sufficient to satisfy him of their
identity as such returning merchants.
Chinese persons, not of the exempt class.
as for instance laundrymen, residing in
the United States and who may depart
therefrom will not be PERMITTED to re-
tnrn.

FAREWELL TO AN OLD SWEET
HEART


FROM MALCOLM'S POEMS.
Farewell false girl, must leave you,
| must hasten anu say adieu:
Despite the vows you have spoken.
find you never were true.
You swore while the rose of Summer
Was fragrant On the evening breeze,
That our lives should be joined forever
In this busy world of strife.
But your VOWS, like the scent of roses,
Waited on the summer air;
Was changed by the winds of winter,
And now are as bleak and bare.
The vows of a beautiful woman
Are like the signing Of trees,
The cause for which we discover
Is due to the rustling winds.
They are just about as lasting
AS the bubbles on the stream,
Or the flowers that flourish in summer
And die with the autumn leaves.

A Congressman's Promise.

The Washington correspondent of the
Atlanta (Ga.) Journal tells how Vir-
ginia Valley Congressman promised in
his last canvass to get city husband
for the daughter of man he stopped
with on tour in the mountain district
TO the west of us. He said to the girl, it is
reported, that she was too pretty to live
nice smart husband in the city. 1t seems
from the letter printed below that our
worthy representative has so far failed
to fulfil his promise. The correspondent
says the letter was shown to him by the
Congressman. Here it is:
Il herd the other day you done got
your elecshen and | was powerful glad
