TACOMA, WASH, Oct. 1.-Attempted
wholesale murder and partially sue
cessful jail delivery have occasioned no
little excitement at the United States
penitentiary on McNeals' Island.
Warden Palmer Of the prison and four
guards had remarkable escape from
sudden death.
The prisoners, led by John Wade, a
notorious smuggler who once before
made successful escape, secured poison
and placed it In the food of Warden
Palmer and assistants. But for the fact
that the desperate prisoners used too
much of the stuff, not one of the in.
tended victims would have escaped
alive. AS it was all OF them were made
deathly sick.
During the excitement which fol-
lowed, four of the prisoners, with Wade
at their head, matte their escape from
the island, and despite the most vigorous
search the quartet has been at large ever
since.
The island is separated from all other
land by mile of salt water 1t is be-
lieved that the four men escaped on
rude raft and are headed for British
Columbia, if they have not already
arrived there.
The prisoners intended to kill the
guards and then set all the men in the
prison, 90 in number, at liberty.

C0UhAGE &c.



Because hold it sinful to despond,
And will not let the bitterness of life
Blind me with burning tears, but look be-
yond
Its tumults and its strife;
Because lift my head above the mist,
Where the sun shines and the broad
breeZes blow,
By every ray and every raindrop kissed
That Gods love doth bestow;
Think you find no bitterness at all?
No burden TO be borne like Christians
pack?
Think you there are no ready tears to fall
Because keep them back?
Why should hug life's ills with cold re-
serve,
To curse myself and all who love me ?
A thousand times more good than l de-
serve
God gives me every day.
And in each one of these rebellious tears,
Kept brayely back, he makes a rain bow
shine;
Grateful | take his slightest gift; no fears
Nor any doubts are mine.
Dark skies must clear, and, when the
clouds are past,
One golden day redeems weary year;
Patient, listen, sure that sweet at last
Will sound His voice of cheer.

THE MERRY HusKINa TIME.



The fields are filled with smoky haze,
The golden spears
or the ripening ears
Peep from the crested and pennoned maize
All down the rushing rows are rolled
The portly pumpkins, green and gold.
Altogether
lis very Tine weather,
Just as the almanac foretold.
All day we cut and bind; till at night
Where II field of corn IN
The misty morning
Waved in the level September light
All over the shadow stuhble-land
The stocks, like Indian wigwams, stand,
Compact and secure
There leave them to cure,
Till the merry husking time is at hand.
Then the fodder will be to stack or to house
And the ears to husk.
But now the dusk
Falls soft US the shadows of cool pine
boughs;
Our good days work is done; the night
Brings wholesome fatigue and appetite;
Up comes the balloon
OF the huge red moon.
And home we so, singing gay songs by its
light.

patriotic roth whenever secession was
discussed. That he was insane on that one
point no one who knew him well can
doubt. When told him that had voted

regret, and declared his belief that Lincoln
