Whacht a Lacht About a Yacht.

One day 81 maiden and youth
Named Montmorency--hers was R0uth-
Were standing both upon the quay.
A-watching ships upon the .suay.
I'D like to go upon a yacht"
The maiden said, "Oh such "a lacht;"
my darling" said her gallant beau.
Upon a yacht. then, you shall CO."
SO stepping quickly from the spot,
They very soon were on the yot
While they were out upon the ocean
A storm came on with great commocean
The wind shrieked loud, and straightway
through
The ship hurricane It blough.
Now, lads, your best be sure and do"
The captain cried unto the GRO.
The maiden fair clung to her beau,
Because, you see, she loved him scau.
The captain said. "Now pray be calm.
There's no occasion for alarm;
Well do our best to save the yacht,
And IL we don't may be shacht.'
Like negroes all the crew did work:
Not one Of them his hare did shork;
And though the sea was mountains high.
Each man resolved to do or digh.
And then around the waiden's waist
The gentle youth his arm he plaist.
The maiden liked his arm to touch.
Because she knew he loved her mouch.
And by and by the ocean great
Gained down, and looked quite nice and
streat.
And when they reached the landing pier
The maiden said she felt SO quier:
So stepping from aboard the yacht,
On to the land once more they gacht.
And while they stood upon the quay,
She whispered, mo more yacht for
muay." -Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Lighthouse of Minot's Ledge.
Three leagues from the shore In Boston
bay,
On a rocky, ragged ledge.
There rises grim and gaunt and gray,
The Lighthouse of Minots Ledge;
And the great Atlantic's rolling tide
Breaks over 1t, foaming high,
As 1t sends a warning far and wide
Ger sand and sea and sky.
Ere that tower was raised, III the olden
days,
Another lighthouse stood,
Propped on the rock upon iron stays
And the keepers deemed 1t good.
Both wanderers they from a distant
strand,
Far over the alien seas:
A fair-haired son OF the Fatherland
And a dark-eyed Portuguese.

fell
That baffied human guile,
And all day long the powers of hell
Beat OH that doomed pile.
And all day long the folk on the beach
Gazed on the awful sight,
And moaned that no mortal help could
reach.
And shuddered to think of night.
Night fell; and the storm ragged on apacc.
But the lamp was lign'ed true;
And the winds and the waters ran their
race,
As the tide rolled laundering through.
All! the shocks were hard and the strain
was long,
And the swaying stanchions broke;
But the lamp shone on, now dim, now
strong,
| For the foam rose up like smoke.
Then the great weird fog bell. struck BY
| the sea,
| Rang out its own death knell.
And tolled for the souls that escaped and
were free.
When their faithess dwelling fell.
| Then the lamp went out In that awful
rOut.
And the bell tolled on through the
night;
One corpse was washed OH the shore at
| morn.
| Their alien names are forgotten quite
BY an English-speaking race.
| But the fame of their gallant watch that
night
| Still clinRs to their ancient place:
| And they talk In the great strong tower
on the strand.
| When the Storm wind rides ON the seas,
| or that fair-haired son of the Fatherland
And the dark-eyed Portuguese.

POSSIBILITIES.

Senator Frye at Philadelphia.
The possibilities of the Philippine arch

most every kind of mineral; 1t has mag
niticent forests: 1t has as good tillable
land as the world affords; 1t can raise
hemp of the best quality without limit ;
and the demand for II Is without limit !;
it can raise, as i told YOU, sugar and
tobacco almost without limit; 1t raises
copra and rice and all sorts of things.
There Is coal In almost every island in
the archipelago. Why, I'm the island Of
Cebu. up on a mountain top, there is a
coal mine cropping out on the surface.
1t has cropped out for over the three
hundred years that Spain has had pos
session. 1t Is better coal than the Jap
anese lump. II Spain had possession for
a thousand years longer 1t would be
cropping out there still. You let the
Yankees get I'm there, and In six months
there will be a railroad from Cebu port
to the Cebu mine, there will be a thous-
and men working that mine, and they
will land that coal at Cebu port at s
sLillings a ton, and We have been paying
for Dewey's coal from $40 to $50 ton.
The possibilities are enormous.
