ON THE BRIDGE.
A Local Parody, From Facts After
Henry Wadworth Longfellow's
Poem THE Bridge"

A Local Parody, From Facts Ate
Henry Wadworth Longfellow's
Poem THE Bridge"
BY HENRY RYDER-TAYLoR.
He stood on the bridge at midnight,
And he was pretty full,
For he spent the night at Peters
With ''boyS" that have the pull"
And the drinks came thick and freely,
And he would take his straight"
So when he hOmeward wendell
Quite timber was his gait.
And as he stood there on the bridge
strange sight met his gaze,
He looked and saw, and looked again,
For it did so amaze.
Two moons he saw DER Dullnig' tower,
And in the flowing river,
He saw their bright re lection
In all their Sheeney SILVER.
He knew there should be only one
OF that there was no doubt
But why the other moon was there
He could not we'll make out.
He could hear the river rolling,
And he heard the heavy tread,
OF policeman passing onward,
As he hid there in dread.
For he knew his Jag was heavy,
And dill not want to stay,
Within the city'S prison vaults
To while the night away.
How often. boys, how often,
Near midnight, bleak and CRIME,
Had he pass'd there to catch car
And got left every time.
And now the plaguey street car
The last one for the night
Rushed by the end of Commerce street
And put his soul to fright,
For the walk unto the suburbs
Is very lone and long,
When man has that tired feeling
That comes from liquor strong,
And he was hot and restless,
And had a load of care,
As the street car left him standing
He gave an awful swear,
For he felt his wife was waiting
OF her he was in fear
He knew that she would ask him
did business keep you dear?'
And. he couldn't lie poor fellow
Twas no use if he could,
For his wife would size him rightly
In manner keen and good,
SOhe bolSteret up his courage,
And started onward home.
And DER the intervening streets
He had a corkScrew roam,
And on the way he slipped and fell
Then slept upon the grass,
And woke at dawn TO realize
He was a foolish ass.
And while he slept, loving wife,
Anxious for him waited.
She listen'd for his football dear,
With feelings long unsated,
And when he came, what Joy was there
All anger and all sadness
Had passed away, and soon was lost
In their present gladneSs.
He was ashamed, as he should be,
And glad to have few know
That he had made so great an err
And caused such hnXiOuS woe,
And Swore he meier do so again,
In language most sublime,
And believe he'll keep that oath
Until another time.

For some days the steamer has
been taking on stores, and
when she left yesterday there
were 981 packages of merchan-
disc in her hold, consist
ing mostly of rice, sugar and coffee.
The cargo was valued at $7,2S721.
She had a number of passengers
also, and among them were the
following missionaries Rev. F.

go to Ruk DR.. G. F. Rife and wife,
who go to Kusaie, and Miss E. T..

fair winds during her long voyage,
but if calms are experienced she
has more than coal enough to last
her until Jaluit is reached Steam

Captain Garland and the depart

yesterday by their friends, as many
bundles and packages were deposit

The usual crowd gathered on the
wharf and on board the missionary
vessel for the farewell services.

the Hawaiian missionary, who re-
turned last March from the Gilbert
Islands, offered prayer. Rev. DR..
Bingham had a special message
for Captain and Mrs. Garland.
Speaking of the various mission
ary vessels now in the service of
different societies, he said that
among the different classes Of
workers that the Holy Spirit quail
fed and commissioned, ought to
be enumerated in these days, mas
ters of missionary vessels. If all
connected with the work were only
consecrated, as every bolt and rope
and spar and sail of the Morning
Star was consecrated, the prophetic
vision of millenial glory would be
speedily realized. Then remind
ing them of the infant daughter
recently born to them, he said that
all their friends sympathized with
them in their desire that this
child should be then and there
consecrated to God. Taking the
little one in his arms, DR.. Bingham
baptized her by the name of Doro-
thy Lakeman. With brief prayer
the services closed. The decks
were cleared, and soon the Star
sailed brisklY away for her ten
