THE WRECK OF THE JULIE PLANTE.
On one dark night ON Lac St. Pierre
The wind she blow, blow, blowl
And the crew of the wood scow Julie Plante
Got scare & run below.
The wind she blow like hurricane.
Byme bye she blow some more,
And the scow got wrack on Lac st. Pierre
Bout half mile from the shore.
The captain he walk the front dach.
He walk the hind dack too.
He call to cook from up the hold.
He call the cook also.
The cook his name was Rosie.
He come from Montreal.
He was chambermaid ON a lumber barge
On the Big La Chine Canal.

The south wind she blow too.
When Rosie cry: "Cher captain,
Mon Dieu What shall we do?"
The captain he throw out the hauk,
But still the scow she drift,
And the crew can't pass on the shore.
For why? She lose the skiff.
The night was dark like one black cat.
The wave roll high and fass.
The captain he took poor Rosie
And lash him to the mass.
The captain he put on life preserve
And jump off on the lac.
He cry: Good bye, my Rosie, dear.
go drown for your sake"
Mex morning very hearty
Bout half past two, three, four,
The captain, crew g. wood scow, too,
Was corpses on the shore.
The wind she blow like hurricane.
Byme bye she blow some more.
And the scow buss up on Lac st. Pierre
Bout half mile from the shore.
MORALS.
Now, all good wood scow sailor men,
Take warning by this storm.
Go marry some nice little French gal
And live on one big farm.
Then the wind she can blow like hurricane;
Byme bye she can blow some more,
But you can't get wraclz on Lac st. Pierre
So long you stay on shore.

Free Books.

CUMBERLAND. Mp, Nov. is, 1895.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
AS both political parties in this State
are committed to free books in our
schools, suppose that next year We
shall have them. Few, | suppose, of
those who have made such an outcry
for them fully realize what free books
mean in all the bearings of the matter.
In the first place. it will require at
the outset from $4,000 to $l5, 900 for
Allegany county, and probably
$20O, 600 for the whole State. Where
Is the money to come from Those
who know how difficult it has been to
keep the schools open 81 months, as
now, IN this county, will incline to
sceptlclsm as to any disposition of the
county commissioners to furnish any
more money. This would not be so if
there was a proper public sentiment
and if all our liable" papers took the
same kindly and critical interest in the
public schools as the JOURNAL. Such,
however, is not the ease, and we have
to confront "a condition and not
Il theory" Il the county gives the
money, it would now seem that it
must mean a curtailment of the school
term, already too short, as the JOURNAL
has so often and forcibly pointed out.
1t is Il great pity that this question
was ever forced into politics. do
not believe, for one, that there now
exists, or ever did exist in this county
a real demand for free books. Under
the existing law the children of widows,
and others unable to buy them, are
supplied. To call such people 'in-
dlgent' because they receive free books
Is no more appropriate than to so
characterize those who receive free
instruction. The free book system
has been tried in some States, not,
however, with the success you might
think. Indeed, it has largely fallen
into disfavor. There is no need 10
rehearse all the arguments that can be
used against it. One of the most I'M
portant, however, is that as Il vehicle
for the spread of contagious diseases
nothing is more effective unless it be
the wearing of the cast-off clothing of
the infected. Such is the testimony of
all the physicians and sanitary experts
who have discussed the subject. This
may be er post .tdct0 discussion, vet it
still may be of some value to paren' s
when the deluge of free books come S
upon us Such should be careful how
they place in the hands Of their chill
dren the filthy books that sooner or
later will be passed around.

Obituary.

a correspondent sends the JOURNAL
the following lines written in memory
of John T. Gallery, who was recently
killed at Shaw, W. Va:
He has gone from among us, yes, he's gone to
meet his God,
His soul is with the angels though his body s
meath the sod.
We little thought that morning as he kissed
his loving wife,
And said, good bye to the children he was
going to lose his life;
He was such a loving father and kind and
gentle son,
And his poor wife cried midst prayers and
tears, "Oh, God Thy will be done"
Poor Jack, went to work that morning with
neither ache nor pain,
He got in the trip with other men to ride the
incline plane.
On the fifth day of November the calamity
occurred,
1t may have been blunder, but the facts
have not heard
But at all events, two men were killed and
Others severely MANNED.
But as we have no mining laws, no one can
be blamed
The other poor fellows didn't know, but
Jack was chum of mine,
And | always found him Just the same
happy, true and kind.
He leaves devoted father and two loving
sisters dear,
Oneis in Philadelphia-the other one is here !;
Jack lived on Elk Garden bill, little noun
tain town,
And was loved by all who knew him and
was known for miles around.
But on the fifth day of November grim death
called his roll,
And all that's left for us to say is-'peace lie
to his soul" JAMES p O'BRIEN.

FRosTBURG, MD, NOVEMBER %, 1888:
Derogating Prayer.

Every voter as he approaches the coming
election should ask God to direct him in
casting his ballot.-Rev. Hugh Il. Walker.
Whether he prays or not, ''every
voter should exercise his suffrage to
the end that to his best Judgment
seems best
The God that has denied rain in
response prayer may not have deign-
ed also to answer to any christian the
question, which was right-Lowndes
or Hursti
Hence, the JOURNAL dislikes to hear
such injunctions from the pulpit.
They degrade unnecessarily a sacred
exercise-one never designed to be
dragged into all sorts of uses.
And there is danger of our petitions
antagonizing those of other good
people-great danger.
Moreover, in nine of ten cases while
prayer is strengthening the convictions
of republican, it is at the same time
intensifying the preJudices of some
democrat.
There is the danger, also, of praying
for the wrong result
so weak is man,
So ignorant and blind that did not God
Sometimes withhold IN mercy what we ask,
We should be ruined at our own request
Lastly, we may never know on this
earth whether any result according or
clashing with prayer was Divine an
swer or denial.
There are thousands of christian
people still living whose prayers for
success during the civil war crossed
and antagonized each other before the
Throne OF Grace. but whose sole con
ISOLATION still is-"God knows which
was right" To some the results may
be acceptable as finally conclusive. If
so, the prayers of the other righteous
people awaited nothing.
To others who believe that the virtue
of great exhibitions of force, like the
nature of man, are ''expicable by moth
ing less than all their history" the ac-
complishment of the war may appear
as not so much fulfilment as a CO.
incidence with prayerful design. If
so, then their devout pleas were also
VAIN.
And now, as prayer has reference to
the spiritual rather than the temporal,
let us, we repeat, always cast our votes
as our best judgment and conscience
dictate.

Democrats who have voted the ticket for
fifty years concede that the saving of the
