TEMPERANCE,

Lss$s TIE pRCNKARD's DAUGHTER.
Out in the street with naked feet,
sawthe hapless drunkard's daughter;
Her tattered shawl was thin and small;
She little knew, for no one taught her.
Her skin was fair-her auburn hair
Was blown about her pretty forehead;
Her sad. white face wore sorrows trace,
And want and woe that were not borrowed.
Heart-broken child. she seldom smiled,
Hope promised her no bright tomorrow
Or if its light flashed on her night,
Then up came darker clouds OF sorrow.
She softly said. "We have no bread,
No wood to keep the fire a-burning;"
The child was i'll. the wind so chill
Her thin cold blood to ice was turning.
That long night fed, and then the light
OF rosy day, in beauty shining,
Tipped dome and spire and roof with fire,
And shone on one beyond repining.
Asleep-slone-as cold as stone,
Where no kind-hearted parent sought her
In winding sheet Of snow and sleet,
Was found the lifeless drunkard's daughter.

Has q mystical charm for me.
But the heart that is sheltered with purple
and gold
Is cold in its splendor and pride,
And the waves in their revelry mock az
they pass,
And bitterness sweeps with the tide.
There are beautiful isles and bowers Of love,
And glist'nin fountains Of tears,
And pitiful wrecks Of sorrow and shame
That pass with the fleeting years
There are treacherous depths where the
waters whirl,
Where hate and sorrow stay,
Where the shattered wrecks on the breakers
of fate
Are silently drifting away.
They are drifting away to rest with the
years
Where the sunlight has faded and gone,
To wake in the morn at the Judgment bar
In the light Of eternity's dawn
Oh, voices Of love, that falter and break,
And speak Of the past ever more,
Your echoes lead on meath the day-star OF
hope
TIL they break on eternity's shore.

Egg OF an Extinct Gigantic Bird.

A large specimen Of the egg of the
fsbled roc of the ttArabian Nights Z
or Epyornis, as the extinct gigantic
bird of Madagascar is called, has been
secured by Mr.. J. Proctor, of Tana-
tave and Princes square, west who
has brought the curiosity to London.
1t was discovered by some natives
about twenty miles to the sonthward
of st. Augustine Bay, on the south
west coast of Madagascar. It was. foat-
ing on the calm sea, within twenty
yards of the beach, and is supposed to
have been washed away with the fore
shore, which consists of sand hills
after hurricane in the early part Of
the year. The child-like longshore-
man OF the Antipodes, opining that
the egg had value, showed the NM
usual piece Of fotsam about with g.
view to sale, and it thus came into thel
hands Of Mr.. Proctor. The egg, which,
iswhitey- brown, in color and unbrokenyI
is a fine specimen, 333 inches byI
twenty-eight inches, and an even
higher value is placed upon it than
upon the egg of the great aux, which,

Whole streets seemed to be nothing

grown for this purpose on large
farms.

CHAPTER XIV.

DAILY PhOthESS.
Day after day passed, during which
Ethel became quite accustomed to her
routine of work, and quietly persevered
in her duties.
Nothing difficult to accomplish was
But this morning he seemed to linger
and converse quite freely upon many OF
the topics of the day. Finally he COM
menced giving an account of the severe
storm that had swept over the country
the night before the baronets accident
and ended by relating his OWL adventures
and what he had seen in the tower.
"Sir Reginald, l thought I would tell
you this and ask if you can explain the
meaning of the spectacle then mani
fested?"
" cannot" was the reply Ethel
watched for with anxiety. 81 am told by
people far and near of strange appear
ances in that tower, but I have never
seen anything of the kind there myself,
therefore put no faith in the story"
"But you may believe me, sir, when
assure you such things are really to be
seen there. Now. in order to satisfy my
mind and perhaps enable me to explain
the mystery to the frightened inhabi-
tants, crave your kind permission to
visit the premises. Have I that per-
mission?"
ut is impossible for me to grant 1t.
When these things were first whispered
about twenty-five years ago, we, as
family, were exceedingly annoyed by
constant visitors to the spot, and the
thing became so much Of nuisance that

Very often would he find a chance to
whisper the question:
! "Do You perform your evening tasks
regularly and well? Does all go on as
safely as could wish?"

from her hand. she became interested III

Now, DIR. Efenstein was rather

WHEN HE BEGAN.

Every drunkard will admit that when he
began to indulge he had no intention of be-
coming a drunkard. but simply moderate
drinker. Then with these facts before US,
which our own observation will confirm, let
US ask. is it right or wrong to indulge the
habit when we know that our example may
lead others to do the same? Is it right or
wrong to deny ourselves when we know that
the habit often leads to physical and moral
debasement? Is it right or wrong to con-
demn the habit by word and example and to
use all lawful means in our power to stop 1t,
and is organized or disorganized effort most
likely TO be successful in stopping it?-Sac-

BY DIRECT VOTE.

Mr.. Harvey Hulen Of GAinsville
declares in favor of the election Of
United States aspator by direct
vote of the people. AS we elect all
other officers so should the United
States senator be elected, he says.
But Mr.. Hulen's IDEAS on this
subject are not quite clear. He says;
Il am in favor of the primary
conventions all over the country
instructing delegates to the county
convex tan for United States sem
ator, and the county convention by
resolution to instruct the repressn-
tative to vote for the choice of the
county convention
This would be very 2ircumlo-
cutory method Of elocting United
States senator by direct vote Of the
people. Mr.. IIulen expects to be a
member Of the next legislature and
"a such would register the will OF
his people as expressed at the polls
in the election of United States sen-
ator by the legislature. This would
be, as at present, only an indirect
way of voting for United States
senator by the people. What is
understood by the direct vote pro
cess is to elect the United States
senator at the same time and in the
came manner the State legislator is
elected. Mr.. Hulen's plan will dc
for starter, but it does not fully
meet with what is assumed to be a
popular demand Houston Post.
We are in favor of the direct
election of Uuited States senator by
the people and believe it will soor
be put in force.
