Treacherous Cape Cod.

Nobody knows how many vessels
have been wrecked on Cape Cod since
the bleak December day when the May.
Hover rounded Race Point and sought
shelter in what is now the harbor oil
Provincetown. The number is very
great, however, and the loss of life on
this most dangerous part of the whole
New England coast has been something
appalling. A list, admitted to be in.
complete, of the wrecks since 1873 shows
that Isl vessels, including three steam,
FRS, have gone to pieces on the pitiless
sands of the cape and had not the waves
always fastened to remove the evidences
of their work the shore all the way from
Chatham, at the elbow of Massachu-
sets arm, to the crook of her bent
hand would be piled high with the ribs
and planking of shattered vessels. A
large proportion of the cape's victims
are coasting schooners, with only an oc-
casional bark or brig. These dis
asters, therefore, rarely attract much at
tention, but they are tragical none the
less, and almost every storm adds to the
number of dreadful stories which the
lighthouse-keepers and members OF
the life-saving service Gave to tell

Character In Children

Parents sometimes congratulate
themselves upon the fact that one child
is never self-willed, never passionate or
angry, always amiable, contented and
calm, seeming to need no discipline and
no restraint. And they mourn over the
fact that another child is eager, i'm
petuous, willful, troublesome Yet not
infrequently the mourning and the re-
joicing ought to change places. if the
future life and character be taken into
account. The tranquility of the one
may be only the outcome of a feeble
character, which leans against the near
EST prop because it cannot stand alone,
while the other, who is so difficult to
manage, may contain the elements Of

And 10! before us stands in state

Perchance their keen and flashing glance

So sticky, small and brown:

To pull all order down:

Hidden in their clasp,
Though now tbs but taffy stick
In sturdy hold they grasp?

And blessings on the little brain

Whate'er the future holds in store.
