pallng

presence
Off benignant spirit standing near!
,nd should tell how as he stood beside me
This is our Earth, most friendly Earth
and fair;
Daily its sea and shore through sun and
shadow
Faithful it turns robed in its azure air:
There is blest living here, loving and serving,
And quest OF truth and serene friendship
dear;
Rat stay not Spirit Earth has one destroyer,
His name is Death; flee lest he find thee
here"
Aud what if then, while the still morning
frightened,
And freshened in the elm the summers
breath,
should gravely smile on me the gentle angel,
And take my hand and say, "My name is
Death"

A STORY OF THE STORM.

Macmillan Duplease, who had a
camp on Cheniere Ronquille, near
Four Bayous, and between Fort
Livingston and Bastian Bay, tells
the following tale of his experience
during the great storm: My camp
is twenty miles from here. On Sun
day night the weather was bad, and
knew trouble was going to occur.
At eight O'Clock it was bad, and be-
tween that hour and ten | went
through years of agony. All night
long l fought for my life and for the
lives Of those dear to me. At ten
O'Clock the camp went to smash and
we all fell into the roaring waters.
When l came to bit found that
my wife had the two children, one
gripped in her teeth by the clothes
and the other thrown across her
shoulder. The water was breast
high and the footing, you may
imagine, very bad. My kitchen table
came floating by and | seized it, and
on it l placed my wife, my eldest
child being in her arms, while | took
the infant on my left arm. With my
left arm l encircled post, and the
table was kept in position by my
wife, who also gripped another up
right timber. From ten O'Clock till
daylight we stayed there, fighting
for our lives, every now and then be-
ing overwhelmed with water, till
we thought the end was near.
"On Monday morning the water
subsidized. Then | went to hunt for
a boat. There was not one to be
found, and until Thursday we all
were prisoners on the Cheniere, with
nothing to eat or drink, save black
ish salty water. On Thursday |
found a skiff, and after kissing my
wife goodby, started for Grand Isle,
distance fifteen miles. have sister
there and knew l could get help from
her. At Fort Livingston ] met
Louis Walden and Theo. Blackberry
in skiff, and they, knowing me well
went to Cheniere Ronquille and
carried my family to my relatives
Then came on here to look after my

poor fellow broke down and wept
freely.
After recovering himself DupIease
continued: THAT one is brother,
Robert, and le was saved by drift
ing on a log.
The story Of Icing so long on the
Cheniere Ronquille without food or
drink, and baby Of two months old
surviving such hardships, created a
sort of suspicion in the mind of the
writer that the recital was little
bit colored.
Are you sure you are telling me
the truth ?" was asked of the poor
fellow. The reply was pathetic.
Duplease rose from his chair, and
making cross with the first finger
OF each hand, he kissed the symbol
fervently, and raising his right hand,
said: God and the blessed angels
are my Witness New Orleans

POINTED HITS

The whisper OF slanderer can be
heard farther than thunder.
Some of the devils best helpers sit
close to the pulpit in church.
A mean man can get religion, but
he can't stay mean and keep it.
Too many men go to praying just
as God wants them to 60 to paying.
There are too many people in the
church who can't be religious in
cloudy weather.
Finding fault with another is only
a roundabout way of Dragging on
yourself.
If some men had killed Goliath
they would remind the Lord of it
every day in the week.
1t would puzzle angels to know
what some men mean when they put
two-cent piece in the hat.
Don't talk much about giving the
devil his due until you are sure if he
had it he would not have you.-

The Safety Valve calls attention to the
fact that the problem of silent machinery
has been solved by a firm in Vienna.
This firm is manufacturing cogwheels of
pressed rawhide. The new wheels have,
it is claimed, great strength, and they do
not require lubricating. On the other
hand, they are very expensive, and are
consequently unlikely to come into gen.
eral use.
