the report that he had sailed for Europe.
He gave a $1,000 bond for his appear

will be tried for burglary and attempted
assault. The story stated that Judge
Phillips did not care to prosecute had
no foundation. While shrinking from

the full punishment that the law pre-

a sporting" man, dashing club man,

sinking to any depth, and of travelling
rapidly under water without revealing
its presence. A working model of the

LOVES PARTING.

"FNrewel, farewellw We breathe the word
That tells US where our paths must part.
Our breasts with deep distress are stirred,
And fondest tears unbidden start.
But though the world shall roll between,
With boun1lcss seas and mountains high,
Though death itself shall intervene,
Our hearts can never say "good-by.".
We have so twineI the sigh and song,
So closely wreathed the thorns and flow.
ers,
That to our souls eonioined belong
The shine and shadow OF the hours.
So welded we in sight and sound,
In dread AMI dream, in earth and sky
Each life has so the other bound,
Our hearts can never say, gooi-by."
The happy fields, the brooks, the birds,
The lilies white and roses red
All they have listened to our words
As from our eyes the truth has sped.
Aud now we reach the moment when
Our heavy hearts in anguish sigh
Farewell until Wa meet again ~
But they can never say ''good-5y."

In this ones friends are to record,

Massachusetts,, or Italy, or England,
or North America. To be even fairly

the larger bays and connections indl,

for easy reference and comparison
with the amateur work. The curiously
