The look that, lighting, leans to bless,
The little daily tenderness;
Smiles without words; the sweet sure sign
Which says in silence, am thine.
Returning feet met at the door,
Alas, for those which run no more!
All me, for lips that whispered, "Dear!
Earth is oil heaven. for thou art here"

The house where one sits on alone.

The desolated needing me.

Ever the summons calleth strong.

The signal of distant Hand.

Floods OF May colors float about.
The pulse leaps high, the heart Is young,
The sweetest chimes are yet unrung,

And, struggling with the coffln-lid,
Hopes, dreams, and joys and happy tears
Start, throbbing, to live down the years.

Fire ON His sixth Trip-The Bout
well Is Ten Hours Away.
Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 2.--Active prep
arations have been made here since tho
departure of the revenue cutter Boutwell,
to Brunswick for the Three Friends to
sail with another Cuban expedition.
The steamer was laden yesterday and
to-day with coal until she sank deep in
water. Six surf boats were hurriedly
completed to-day, and It is known that
large quantity of arms and ammuni-
tion is stored at Woodlawn, half way be-
tween the city and the mouth of the st.
Johns river. The cargo will consist of
dynamite, surgical instruments and medi-
cine.
Since two weeks ago sixty Cubans, in
patches Of eight to ten, have been housed
at the juntas expense in the boarding
houses of the town. At all these places
the men were busy packing up to leave.
They were Joined to-day by Col. Nunez,
who has charge of the arrangements, and
DR.. Castillo, who will be in command of
the expedition.
DIR. Castillo served at the front for some
time as surgeon of Garcia's army. He
left the island through Havana, crossing
to Key West in an open boat with several
companions. Two of these will return.
One Of them is lame from a wound in the
leg. All are said to be men OF rank and
appear So Early tomorrow morning ac-
cording to the present plans, they will
board the tug r. l.. Mabry and be car
red by it beyond the three-league limit,
where they will be transferred to the
Three Friends.
Capt Lewis, instead of Capt Broward,
will be In charge of the vessel John
Dunn, who has been engineer on five ex-
petitions, will act In his old capacity.
The only thing that can stop the depart
ure of the expedition now is the unex-
pected arrival of the Boutwell,, but 1t is
thought that the new vice consul, who
arrived here during the last two weeks,
has not caught on, and that no notiica-
tion has been sent out to Washington.
1t would take the Boutwell, fully ten
hours to make the journey.

ern end OF the hall was another smaller
gallery, also decorated, which was oc-
cupied by band of music that play,ed
popular airs as the delegates were as
sembling.
Hanging high up over the platform was
the United States coat Of arms on which
the golden eagle appeared to be fapping
his wings In triumph. To the right of this
were hung framed lil1enesses of Jeffer-
son, Jackson and ex-senator Mcdonald.
and TO the left pictures of Cleveland, Hem
bricks and Tilden. The appearance of the
hall was, on the whole, very attractive,
and there was a good deal of applause
and clapping as various prominent dem
ocrats entered the hall and took their
seats with their delegation.
Among those thus specially honored
were Buckner and Breckinridge of Ken
lucky. But Senator Palmer of Illinois
came in unnoticed and took his seat among
the delegates from his state. A white silk
nag, on which was imprinted a likeness
of President Cleveland with the motto,
"Florida's Candidate, was carried through
the hall by colored man and was cheer
ed frequently. All the delegates wore
bright colored badges on the lapels of
their coats, the prevailing hue being gold
en- yellow, and many of them sported. in
addition, twigs of golden rod" so that
lHo CHARACTER OI tne convention was as
serted in unmistakable character. Even
the color of the window shades was old

The hour fixed for the assembling of
the convention was only marked by the
rendering of Old Hundred by the band.
AT 1890 Senator Palmer, who had taken
seat on the stage as temporary chair
man, rose and called the convention to or
der. Rev. John Hazen White, Episcopal
bishop of Indiana, then advanced to the
front, and, while the audience reverently
rose and remained standing, delivered the
opening prayer.
The call for the convention was then
read. When the name of Cleveland was
read in the CALL in connection with the
names Of Jefferson and Jackson the
members of the convention rose and cheer
ed and applauded loud and long, wav.
ing hats, handkerchiefs and hands in hon
or of the actual President of the United
States.
During the reading Of the call the Chi
cago Marching Club entered one of the
galleries, and was received with cheers.
The next business in order was declared
to be the call of states, in order to as
certain who were present.
The secretary reported that the roll of
states showed forty-one had responded to
the call. Loud cries were raised in the
body of the convention for a call of terri
