THE ABBEY BY THE SKELL.

In tnc aDbcy ny tho Skell,
Oh, the lapsing Of the years
Since tho last monastic bell
Sounded sad upon the cars
OF the holy mon who there
Bowed in final praise and prayerl
All day long the doves make moan
In the overlapping tower.
From tho crevices of stone
Waves the grass and mods the flower.
And yctstill doth grandeur dwell
In the abbey by the Skell.
Gone arc porch and pillar; gone
Arc tho windows grand that gave
At the blossom burst of dawn
Such glory to the nave,
Such soft, celestial spell
To the abbey by the Sken.
Mourns the immcmorial yew
In the cloisters green and wide
For tho brother band that grew
BY the singing rivers side;
Now but ono its tale can tell
OF the abbey by the Skell.
What a sermon here is writ
BY the ancient hand of time!
We have paused to ponder it
And would weave the text in rhyme
Ere we breathe our low farewell
To the abbey by the Skell.
By miracle of birth
Beauty buddeth from decay,
So godly work on earth
Nevor fadeth quito away,
Though it DO not tangible
Like the abbey by the Skell

a sharp lookout, and, secondly, as

afternoon the lines or tamil are laid
out. The schooner is the hub of a
wheel, so to speak, and the tamil
radiate from it like spokes. A six
dory schooner usually has lines
enough to carry ~, 900 hooks. The
lines are lifted at in tho morning
and the cod taken off.
The collisions occur chiefly in the
night when the fishermen are snatch
ing a few winks prior to 4 a. m.
They have the proper lights burning
at the mast and watch on deck,
but if it is very dark with fog or
rain the steamer is on top of them

Certain swindling fakirs under
the name of Doctors have passed
through this section Of the coun-
ty and got a lot OF notes from
the farmers, for their worthless
guarantees. Now, farmers, we
will give you a good way to
save yourselves from these swind-
lers, aud yet use all honest MANS
service if you find one. When
any stranger tells you that he
can perform miracles or cures
that your home doctor cannot,
and offers to cure you Of old age
or incurable disease for say 500
and you are willing to pay that
then tell him that you will depos-
it the money in some bank, for
him to draw when you are cured
This is fair*to any man and but
Justice to you When you make
that proposition, see how quick
the swindler will travel. Don't
sign a paper Of any kind in. the
hands Of IL stranger. Cont sign
it, no matter what it is repre-
scented to be. It is Il promisory
note every time, and in the hands
of a third party you will have to
pay it. No guarantee OF any
stranger is worth the paper it is
written on. XIII.
