"Missing" and "Overdue."

The voyage of the ship Henry Bishoff is
certainly striking contrast with the
usual rapidity of ocean navigation. For
three months indeed she had been s'miss-
ing and her safe arrival was matter of
astonishment. Leaving Japan for Amer
lea, bad weather and contrary wind,
wrought protracted detention and the
wearisome voyage lasted 21S days.
In addition to the above is the Cakes,
which Was 250 days from Hong Kong to
this port and half the crew dead from dis
ease and exposure. Then there is the
steamer Island, laden with sugar, which
was obliged to burn large quantities of
the latter as substitute for coal, the
stock having been exhausted. Next is
the steamer Rialto, which was burned at
sea, though the crew escaped, but to this
is added the unutterable fate of the
steamer Nazaire, whose wreck with the
oss OF nearly eighty lives, eliminates this
chapter of ocean horrors.
There are at present ten ships missing
and as not one of them was "spoken'
after sailing, the conclusion is that tn, y
are lost. In addition to these are nearly
dozen smaller craft which are ''given
up" but as number of vessels have
reached port long overdue, some of the
number may be safe. New York Letter.

Life in a Lighthouse.

1t. john NJ. Ellicott, U. S. N, contri-
butes to the April ST. Nicholas an article
about lighthouses, which he calls 1.-The
Lights that Guide IN the Night" 1t.
Elllcott says; One seldom thinks, when he
watches the brightly cheering and safely
guiding light OF lighthouse, what cease
less watching and patient heroism it
takes to keep the light burning year in and
year out through all kinds Of weathers.
Generally there is for each light only a
keeper with two assistants, and often the
keeper is assisted only by his wife, sons,
or daughters. Even tue most comfortably
situated lighthouses are generally on lone
~ headlands, with no human dwelling
Dear Others are on outlying rocks, or
Islands swept by the sea, ard wholly cut
on from the land except in fair weather.
There are even a few which, built upon
sunken reefs, seem to rise from the very
bed OF the ocean, and against which
storm driven seas break with shocks which
shake them to their foundations. Such
are the Eddystone Lighthouses, off the
coast OF England at the entrance to the
English Channel, and our own Minot' S
Ledge Light, near the entrance to Boston
Harbor. These two are the most isolat-
ed and exposed lighthouses in the world.
Ihey We're built at the utmost peril to
human lite. Each was swept away by
storms after completion, and had to be
rebuilt

of Moses, and
The princess no discovered him down there

They say there amt no fiery lake, no devil.
therefore no
Such place as that which used to make the
sinners tremble so.
They We said that Noah's ark is Just piece
of fiction, too,
And that the tale of Daniel in the lions den
amt true;
They've said that Adams Just myth
they've said the So me OF Eve

to believe?
They ridicule old Joshua for pointin at the
sun,
And tellin' it to stoE-they say the thing was
never done;
They've taken up the patriarchs and ques-
toned all IL cir acts;
They say the Bibles quite book, but rather
shy of facts
W. ell, let EN- preach and let 'em lay the

Easter Flowers.
The roses were the first to hear

The roses We're the first to hear
The roses 1relllsed to the tomb;
Bring roses-hide the marks of spear
And cruel nails that sealed His doom,
The lilies We're the first to see
The lilies on that Easter morn;
Bring hlies-crowned with blossoms be
The head SO lately crowned with thorn,
The roses were the first to hear:
Ere yet the dark had dreamed of dawn,
The falntest rustic reached their ear;
They heard the napkin downward drawn
They listened to His breathing low;
His feet upon the threshold fall
Bring roses-sweettst buds that blow,
His love the perfume of them all.
The lilies Were the first to see
They, watching in the morning gray,
Saw angels come so silently
And roll the mighty stone away;
They saw Him pass the portals gloom;
He brushed their leaves-oh, happy dover
Bring lilies-purest buds that bloom,
His face reelected in each flower
The roses We're the first to hear,
The lilies were the first to see;
Bring fragrant flowers from lar and near
To match the Easter melody!
"Rabboni!" be on every tongue,
And every heart the rapture share
OF Mary. as she kneels among
The roses and the lilies fair!

con his ear that he smashed one boat
and overturned the craft in which Folger
was standing. However, Folger clung to
the boat six hours and afterward succeed
ed in killing the whale.
Reuben S. Folger will be 10 years of
age the 10th day of April, and is I'M
doubtedly the Oldest whaler in New Eng
land, living. Every man that he ever sailed
with has crossed life's final ocean, to be
counted no more on this side. To look at
the old whaler you would not think that
his small frame could have withstood the
| hard life, for he is only ) feet, IA inches
| high and his weight but 125 pounds.
Weight and height didn't figure, but
nerve and pluck did, and thus lies the
foundation of the result.
Folger not only played his part in cap
turing whales but served his people in the
army and navy during the great civil war,
from W hich he has an honorable discharge.
He first enlisted in the goth Massachusetts
regiment, Gen. Lee, August II, 1862, serv-
ing until June l, 1868, when he was dis
charged from that regiment and entered
the I'd Massachusetts heavy artillery.
May 8, 1864, Folger left the army and en-
listed in the navy, sailing on the ship
limo, carrying twenty four guns and
stationed off Key West. In this ship he
became quartermaster and served until he
was mustered out July 3, 1865. During
his army life he figured conspicuously in
the battles of Centerville and Fredericks-
burg, and draws a pension of S12 per
month for disabilities. Folger can sit
down and tell many an old whale yarn
and make it interesting for you while you
listen with your mouth open and cans
specially sensitive to sound He has been
thrice mallied and now lives in comfort
with his third wife at lower Main street,
BuckspoIt, having come to this town June
IL, 1896. He is a Grand Army man and
chaplain OF James E. Hall post OF this
place.
While our artist was busily engaged
with bis pencil on the parsonage OF Fol

The old man kept quiet for time, when
all at once he remarked: II never saw any
OF that for sixteen years. We now leave
you at this point 20 look upon the picture
OF man who has seen all sides Of life, to
mediate upon the few little incidents
given in connection, and ask yourself the
question, is it fun to be whalel?

So we, at last, may reach our heav My home
Then question not if l forget, my friend,
For that can only be when time shall end,
And then, oh, then, his blessed face I'll see
So he will never once forgotten be.
Why should l mourn, since he with weight

Grown weary in this vale of hopes and fears,
Put off the robe of flesh at quick command
To greet his Savior in the glory land?
And he and l and those we hold most dear,
Forgetting not the ways We journeyed here,

Abides within my heart, and believe
