COMING HOME TO-DAY.


 What makes the sky so bright and blue? The earth around it so wondrous fair? The woods and fields are full of song, A thousand sweets arc in the air. The golden sunbeams fill the place Where once the heaviest shadows lay, And all outdoors seems glad because My darling's coming home to-day. But yesterday twas dark as night, And full of desolation, too; And thoughts of i'll. so dark and chill, Appeared with every breeze that blew But with the morn message came That drove the shadows all away, And right along I've sung this song. My darlings coming home to-dayl How long ant wearisome the time That we were doomed apart to dwell. An, was 1t months? or was it years? Alas alasl l cannot tell. Each day appeared century
 Of loneliness and bitter pain; My heart at war, and longing for
 My darling to come home again. And now the waiting time Is o'er: Hopes sweetest fruition fills my breast And dismal doubts and glooms and felrs Those evil birds, have fled their nest All things around a radiance wear As if in festival array: And smiling so they surely know MT darling's coming home to-day.

himself. A piece of shell has inflicted an ugly wound in his shoulder, and though exhausted by the intense strain and weak from loss of blood, he steers his victorious vessel into the protection of the harbor, then falls senseless to the deck.
 Not long after, while recovering his strength, Jack received very official looking document covered with forinid- able seals. 1t contained the informa- tion that he had received the thanks of congress.and that he had been promot- ed to the rank of captain for his gallant ry in sinking four of the enemy's ships. thereby causing a withdrawal of their fleet and preventing the bombardment O. the city of San Francisco.-Sa Fran cisco Argonaut.

A Profitable Ghost.

We both admire and respect the Essex rector who, having discovered miraculous face" in his chancel win dow, is determined to make the best of it. The explanation, as he frankly tells us, is quite simple. Some years ago he had the window stippled over with transparent paint to soften the glare of the sun, and that paint is now fiaking off, thus revealing the faces below. But if the faces themselves are not miraculous, the 'fiaking off of the paint at this particular moment is, he maintains, obviously providen- tial: "As many visitors have been flocking to see the so-called miracle. am now utilizing it towards helping to pay off some heavy debts on the church and schools of this poor agri- cultural parish; and if the result fol- lows, l shall look upon the pictures as gift from God, and thankfully re- ceive any help towards the above ob- jects." This is indeed putting the mir acle on sound business-like footing. We only wish other exploiters of mira cles were equally frank. -Westminster Review.

 Long ere this the brave little craft has been the center of smother of foaming water, dashed into impotent fury by the crashing, bursting shells. But her great speed saves her from annihilation.

The admiral told him that it was his intention to go outside, meet the enemy, and, if possible, cripple him to such an extent as to prevent the bonn bardment Of the city. and that the Bain- bridge and coast-defense vessels were to be held in readiness te guard the entrance to the harbor and cover the retreat of the fleet in case it might be compelled to withdraw.

A sPANlsH FETE.
Tue Feast of San Fernando as Celebrated
 in the Cathedral of Seville.

Tue Feast of San Fernando as Celebrated
 in the Cathedral of Seville.
 It was not until the feast of San Fernando that we learned with what sumps uousness and stateliness the beautiful interior could array itself for its festivals and with what fervor it could keep them. Already, on the eve of the great day, the royal chapel was hung with silken draperies; cloth-of- gold covered the roy al tombs, the altar was mass of golden plate, and people were crowding to kiss the hands of the Virgen de los Reyes, the large, ma tronly Virgin who wears cap like that of the ladies of the sacred heart, and who holds the child in her arms. When we came to the cathedral it's court was held by red-legged soldiers, grouped about the fountain, at the base of pillars, on, every step. Two sentinels paced up and down at the door of the royal chapel, which was filled with well-dressed men and women in mantillas, cro uched on the floor, sitting oa low camp-stools, lying face downward with hands outstretched to form a cross. or else pressing closely about the altar; for the curtain was raised above the coffin where San Fer nando has lain these thousand years, and through the glass we could see the mummy-like head and the ermine robes; and all the people prayed as if they meant it.
 We wandered back in the late after noon, in the hour just before sunset. Under the oranges and about the fountain the red-legged soldiers still fingered and loafed; but even as we came a bugle sounded, they fell into line and marched across the court through the cloister, under the door with the crocodile above, and then in- to the royal chapel, where they formed on each side. The altar with it's hun dreds of candles made an almost blind ing glory in the midst of the falling shadows, and wherever the sillxen hangings caught the light they shone with iewel-like splendor But the service was very simple, the more sol emn because of it's simplicity A monk in black robe mounted into a pulpit half hid in dusky corner. He recited litany, and the people answered, and, without organ or accompaniment, 8 hymn was sung.
 Then he prayed aloud, not in Latin, but in Spanish; a prayer of thanks giving that the country had been freed from the terrible Moors, a peti- tion that they might never come again, that glorious St. Ferdinand might pre- vail, and that Spain should flourish forever. With these words, which he fairly shrieked forth, he waved fran tic sign of the cross with his crucifix as he gave a blessing. The mass of officers drew their swords, the soldiers grounded their arms with a crash and fell on their knees, the band burst in- to the national hymn, the color-guard marched to the altar and seized their flags. which had been left before the tomb all day. They saluted the hero of their country; the curtain dropped, shrouding him from sight; and then, the band at their head, they marched out with a dignity which Rome in its best days never surpassed. Elizabeth R. Pennell, in Century.
