I Will Think of You.

1 will think of you, my sweetheart
when the shadows softly creep,
And the grooming chirp of mother bird
bid tiny ones to sleep,
And the twinkling, glist'ning starlight
throws a halo tender, sweet,
Caressing nodding flowers blooming
brightly at my feet.
1 will think OF you, my sweetheart, for
know you think of me,
Throughout the breadth of daylight
till all its stupids fee;
And the radiance of the mornings
glides so softly from its place,
To where sable shades re waiting, the
brightness to embrace.
l will think of you, my sweeth cart, for
in all this world to-day
There's no thoughts like thoughts of
you can Tighten up my way,
Can ease the heavy burden-can cause
the clouds to part
Can let the rays Of Gods light in-so l
think of you, sweetheart.

Stirring the Ashes.

From Atlanta Constitution.
The houe was late; a dull rain beat the
earth;
The fire had nearly died upon the
hearth.
Suddenly there was blaze; I turned
my head,
"'Tis letters am burning" Margaret
said.
LETTERS! his letters?-ah, dear that is
well;
If with them perish, too, his fateful
spell
And all your love- s.That love is
dead,' she said,
'.Dead as these pale, gray ashes that
tread"
She pressed the light heap with her
scornful foot,
When, all at once, l saw fame up
shoot,
And catch a half-burned fragment of a
sheet
That quickly blazed-but in that in
slant fleet
read on it the words: 'Thine own till
death"
The flame died out-'twas over in a
breath.
The room was shadowy and still again,
Until sound-a stifled moan of pain
Escaped from Margaret. Her shield
ing hand
Hid her pale face; but quick-at Pride's
command
She looked up, saying with a playful
pout:
1T burnt my-wicked fame" as she
thrust out
Her little slippered foot. ''Ah! poor
proud heart
Conceal they hurt thought 'Tis
woman's part"
Aloud I said: '.Yes, the old saying is
true,
They that stir ashes that seem dead
may rue
Their rashness, for a touch may chance
to upturn
some smouldering spark-that shall
blaze up-and burn"

A Feeling Of "Lull."

The New York Evening Post. which
is one Of the Vehicles to which Mr..
Horace White commits his ponderous
views on financial questions, is appa-
rently very we'll satisfied with matters.
We judge from the following illuminat-
ing remarks which we take from a
leading editorial article, that Mr..
White himself is inclined to preen his
feathers and COO over the success of
those who have succeeded in establish
ing the single gold Standard:
The advantage of having things at
the worst is that any change must be
for the better. Such change is dim
ly perceptible. There is feeling OF
lull. 1t is thought that the spasm
which is now approaching willb be less
rigorous than formerly. Astral influ-
ences are believed to be at work.
Cordage, silver and the bear do for
sooth beget temperance.
This sheds such bright light over
the scene that we hope our readers
will go over it again in order to clear
ly understand the situation as it Isl
They will be able to perceive that a
financial expert can also be philoso-
pher-that he can turn the searchlight
OF his intellect on the. dark spots and
illuminate them with the radiant sim
plicity that dissipates vapors of the
mind as well as vapors of the air.
The public will be glad to learn that
Mr.. White is enjoying "a feeling of
lull." lit is any satisfaction to Mr..
White. the whole country can whirl in
and inform him that all business is suf-
fering with symptoms of ..lull" that
are neither enjoyable. nor profitable. 1t
is the '.lull'' which the single gold
standard has placed on all enterprises.
So far as values and prices are con-
cerned, it is something worse than
..lull." It is condition that is sure
to '.beget temperance and il it
doesn't do worse than that. we shall
have reason to congratulate ourselves
and everybody else.
The difference between the s.lull' Of
the money power and the ..lull" Of the
people is very great, as Mr.. White and
his coparceners will presently realize.

"reminiscences of the Ohio Crusade.

OF the many interesting phases of
the temperance movement, none has
ever had a deeper significance than the
upheaval of twenty years ago, known as

and was afforded an ample opportunity
to witness the operations of that re

TROUBLED WATERS.
Oil Saved the Taormina
in a Hurricane.
Passengers PaniC-StriCken, and
Many More or Less Injured.

The steamer Taormina. which arrived at
New York from Hamburg, when near Sable
island, encountered Il hurricane which con
tnued for AZ bours.
At o'clock in he morning a big sea broke
on the deck. and the men at the wheel lost
control of the vessel. The bolts IN the main
boom were loosened, aud the boom, thresh-
ing about, struck life-bOat aud knocked 1t
overheard. Afterward the hoOm, swinging
with the roll Of the ship, carried away the lee
rigging Of the mainmast, and the mast
snapped on and went overheard.
Cabin Steward Fred liubcnet slipped on
deck and sustained severe injuries to head
and body.
1t was only hy long and troublesome work
that the crew was able 10 clear away the
wreck. Meanwhile the Stcorago passengers
below decks were in an agony Of terror.
Some mon were on their knees PRAYING, while
others staggered about and cursed IA they
were pitched this way aud that lay the
iurching OF the vessel When the mast went
by the board women screamed, and some be-
came hystcrical. All expected the ship To
30 down. Capt. Koch went among the men
and women, and by personal appeals sue
ceeded In allaylng their fears somewhat.
Capt. Koch hal oil freely poured on the
waves, and to this he attributes the escape ci
the vessel from much greater damaG" than
she sustained.
| 1t was fortunate Captain Koch says, that
the vessel was in the gull stream, ~ the men
! were enabled to work swiftly in the cnmpar-
/ atively warm weather In clearing away the
| fallen mast. The hurricane subsidized, but
| head winds were encountered, delaying the
! raormina iiv" or six days.

The Ocean as O Seed SOwer.

Tho carrying of seeds by ocean cur
rents is one Of natures most interest
ing methods OF distributing plants
through the world. Darwin, who de-
yotea much attention to investigating
the matter, proved that many kinds
Of seeds will bear immersion IN water
for 100 days or even more and still re-
tain their vitality, so that when thrown
ashore they are ready to sprout. Not
n few species, which will sink when
green, float il they have CHANGED to
dry before falling into the stream
which carries them to the ocean.
For the very purpose of accomplish
mo this distribution by water, nature
has made the husks of many seeds
practically waterproof. Among the
familiar objects picked up on tne
ocean beach are so-called seabeans
It is popularly supposed that the
nlants which bear these beans grow IN
the water. The beans are found IN
enormous quantities on the FLORIDA
shore and in diminishing numbers
northward along the. Atlantic coast
They are the seeds of several varieties
Of pod. bearing yines-olimbing plants
plentiful along the shores Of the ga
ribbean Sea. Each pod, resembling
An exaggerated pea-pod, contains
number of seeds. The latter, falling
when ripe into the water, are carried
by the gulf stream around the .;l so".l

coast There are three important
varieties, one reddish and fiat, another
