PEACE.

CALM OF the autumn night,
" With the glow of the primrose sky
Drowned in sea Of golden light
From the harvest moon on high
Against the rose OF the sky
Wringing their silent way,
Darkly the gulls go floating by,
In the glow OF the dying day.
Infinite peace and calm
In the breast OF the ocean wide,
In the air like delicate balm,
In the faint, sweet lapse OF the tide.
With the crickets pensive sound,
With the breath OF the late, last rose,
Comes sense of Joy profound
And bliss OF deep repose.
What is thy mystic charm,
o beautiful autumn night?
Not the sigh Of the south wind warm,
Nor thy harvest moons pure light;
Not the calm OF the CLASSY sen,
Rejecting thy stars above;
Nor the perfume borne to me
On the balmy air love;
But the soul OF all thou art
Calls to the soul in me,
Speaks to my quiet heart
With the voice of sky and sea.
And thy peace is also mine,
And the patience that comes with years
Is the touch OF hand divine,
Leading from ea' this grieis and tears

Damaging Floods Around Port PENN

PoRT PENN, Oct. IAN the river banks
in this vicinity were more or less injured by
the great storm Of last Friday night, and
the one formerly owned by Harry Walter
is broken down. 1t is said they will not
attempt to mend ii. Port Penn was nearly
surrounded by flooded marshes. Edward
Zacheis went about in the middle Of the
night, warning people that the water was
rising but with all precautions some prop
erty was destroyed. George Castelow lost
% chickens and Henry Tingle all of his
flock.
The effect of the storm on the road be-
tween the Pier House and the long bridge
battles description. 1t has always been a
great expense, as wind and tide sweep
away the white pine posts which form a
| barrier or fence along the shore. The
| great gale in August carried il all away,
| and a gentleman remarked then that mat
| tresses of brush should be used, such as
were used in the foundation of the jetty,
| or else cedar brush as used at Atlantic
| City and other places on the coast, with a
heavy ballast Of stones. He predicted that
the new wooden fence would not last. His
prophecy proved true, for no sooner was
the fence reconstructed than 1t was all
swept away last Friday night, and the
heavy stone scattered over the road, which
is also broken into gulles and assures, SC
that the place is in worse condition than
was ever seen before and almost impass
able. 1t will cost large sum to repair
/ damages.

ST. PETERS ORpHANAGE.
More Room Provided for the Forty
eight Little Wards.


A Handsome New Addition to the Insti-
tuition Just Completed--A Description
of the building.
A three-story brick building, 50x20
feet, has beer constructed in the rear OF
the Sixth street wing OF ST. Peters
Female Orphanage, which proves q
welcome relief to the heretofore crowded
condition of the institution. All the
money, about $4,000, was contributed
by friends at the solicitation OF the
Sisters, who labored arduously with the
financial part of the undertaking until
the desired end was accomplished.
There are eight Sisters of Charity con-
nected with the institution, to whom the
credit Is due.'
The building was constructed accord
ing to the idea of the Sisters, and fur
nishes the additional room and con-
veniences so long desired. The three
floors contain one room each, the entire
dimensions OF the building, 50x20 feet,
and the ceilings on the second and third
floors arc IA feet high. The building is
substantially constructed and neatly
and tastefully arranged and finished in
| like manner throughout. The walls are
calsomined, and in each room there is .
wainscoting four feet from the floor.
The first floor is recreation room,
where the children sew and play when
indoors, and here, through the thought
fulness of the sisters, each of the little
wards is provided with neat "locker,"
where they can keep their work and
toys.
On the second floor is the assembly
room, where entertainments are given
to the children and where they are given
the calasthenic exercises. The piano is
in the rear of the room on an elevated
platform.
The clothes and dressing room occu'
pies the third floor, where each of the
children has roomy closet for the re-
ception of their clothing. A donation
valued at 500 was made to this room q
few days ago by well-known citizen
1t was in the shape of nice new wintel
dress for each one of the 48 little ones
which was very acceptable and highly
appreciated gift.
The room gained by the addition o
this new wing relieves the main struc
ture and furnishes facilities which hav
long been desired The Sisters are yer,
much elated over the acquisition, AM
are very thankful to the liberal contri
butors who made the improvement pos
