AN APPEAL TO SPIRIT.

Gentle Spirit, thou that liest
Deep within the mystic grave,
Answer me, who o'er thee cryest-
Give the answer that Gravel
Speak TO me, that ] may benr thee;
Answer from thy cnsket-bedl
Come to mel will not fear thee
Tell me, tell mel--art thou deady
Absent spirit, tbou, immortal
Freed from every earthly bond
Is there yet another portal:
Tell me OF the life beyond
Is there yet life worth living
Where these tears are never shedi
Life and death are both deceiving-
Art thou liyingi Art thou deadY
Tender Spirit thou that sleepest
Where the rose and lily bloom,
Hear the wall OF one who weepest
Ger thy cold and silent tomb:
Hear the cry OF one above thee,
Lingering still, though day has fled,
Speak to him who well did love thee,
Tell him that thou art not dead
Tell him that thou still art living,
Where no troubles can molest,
Tell him that thy soul is happy
That thy spirit is Mt rest;
1t will make his sad heart lighter,
II will raise his dropping head,
1t will make his future brighter
II he knows thou art not dead.
THE SPIRITS ANSWER.

Wouldst thou break this tranquil resti
/ would see thee glad, not weeping

Calm, contented, here Mt rest

Where the storms Of woe nssail;
Wouldst thou have thy grief enthrall me
Whilst the tomb resounds thy wailf
Come o Mortal on the morrow.
Let no sigh escape thy breast:
Come with snliles-depart from sorrow-
Smile upon me, here, at rest.
Leave thy woe and grief behind thee

T. Shelley Sutton, the boy poet of
Idaho, continues to produce very
creditable work. Some may bear
criticisms, and display carelessness
in composition and language en-
vloyed. but the majority are very at
tractive productions. The Salt Lake
Herald, Portland Oregonian and
other large journals have quoted
him somewhat extensively, and by
care, modest application and judic-
ious perseverance, he is in fair way
TO reputation. During the fair he
wrote poem entitled ''Idaho' which
is said to be masterpiece. 1t was
printed in handsome shape and was
used as a souvenir. We have no
seen it, Following are a few of the
most attractive of his late poems:

nritish Naval Nomenel.ture.

A correspond dent of a London pa.
per laments the "swaggering no
menolature Of the British navy"
Another correspondent suggests that
such names as Bouncer and I%nsolent,
which have erewhile adorned the
list, should be replaced by some
thing in a different tone-the Rit-
ualist, for instance, or the Thought
full Radical. Some years ago a clas-
steal poet in England likened the
ironclad to a rhinoceros, and it is
rather a wonder that the admiralty
have not before this adopted the
name of that powerful and self as
sorting animal. These are his lines:
O concentration of brute force,
Rhinoceros Of the deeps;
o ugly Delos. on whose shores
No soft Latona sleeps;
6cant room In thee for birth or love
Mid monsters furnace born
The iron throated guns above:
Below, the ripping horni
