What Sunshine Does.

A grapevine hung by an apple bough,
green;
Each fruit was healthy and promised now
A rich, ripe fuilness OF tint and taste,.
When August came with its hot, hot haSte,
harvest of wealth to CLEAN.
But grapes and apples, and children, too,
At first have tempers but immature;
And, red or green, they are sometimes blue,
ana marsh or surly or full OF tears;
Till waning weeks or expanding years
unrlpeneSS have come to cure.
The grapes thus gibed at the apples green,
Too proud and vain of their glistening
red;
you're knurly, bitter, and hard and mean,
We scarce could tell you from humble leaves,
TO hang beside you our spirit grieves,
Such ugly fruit" they said.
The apples answered: "You hypocrites,
Your reds a lie on the face of it!
You think you're clever, you think you're
wits;
We know, although we are not wise,
That we, as we are, can be used for pies;
You're no uSe-nOt a bit! y
So words ran high, and tall sunfower,
Upon them turned a rebuking face;
The grapes and apples began to COVER;
''He's going to scold," they said;.
Hes most jolly, and we're afraid
He'll speak OF our disgrace"
The sunfower couldn't be cross for long;
His Princeton features soon yelled a
smile;
"Your use of language is quite too strong,
You talk, too tierecly and talk too much,
You need the SunShine's caresSing touch;
Keep still, and wait awhile"

NARROWED FIVE DAYS.
Nearly 200 Sailors on Barren Roc

Nearly 200 Sailors on Barren Rocks.
HALIFAX, N. S., April 10th. Partic-
ulars of the wreck of the sealing steam
er Hope of New Foundland show that
one hundred and ninety-four seal hunt
ers composing her crew were marooned
for five days on Brion rock, desolate
island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, I'M
sheltered, with scanty food and unable
to report their condition. Sunday,
March 81, at daybreak, the steamship
was caught between rafting ice foes
and carried over rocky ledge, jutting
out beyond the northwest point of Brion
island. The ships bottom was torn off
and she lodged on the rocks. The crew
had to take to the foes and make their
way ashore with only such clothes as
they were wearing and such food as
they carried in hunting haversacks. On
reaching the island the men found only
a few fishers summer huts absolutely
inadequate to shelter them. A furious
gale ragged all Sunday and Monday
making it impossible to return to the
ship to procure canvass with which to
improviSe tents, or TO increase the food
supply. The men traversed the rocks,
correcting WOOD ana WTeckage WIN
which they made huge fires. On Tues
day the gale abated sufficiently to enable
the party to reach the ship. The ship
was found to be total wreck. The
keel had been torn out by chatting
against the rocks and the hold was
filled with water to a point between
decks. The crew procured food, clothes
and tent stuff, which rendered them
fairly comfortable. Coal was got ashore
on Wednesday to keep their fires going.
But the prospect of early rescue was
doubtful. The whole Gulf of St Law
renee was filled with ice foes and was
only navigable by the Hope and her
three sister seal ships Harlaw, Panther
and Kite. The main body of the Hope S
stores were under water and the pros
pect of starvation for the men was not
pleasant one. Fortunately Friday
forenoon the Panther hove in sight. She
noticed the wreck and communicated
with the castaways. Captain Bartlett
of the Hope was conveyed by the Pan
/ Their to Crosse Isle, where he wired the
owners at st. John. Tie seal ship Green
land, which has just discharged load of
seals, was despatched from St. John to
rescue and bring back the crew,

April Weather.
Success.

Soon, ah, soon the April weather
With the sunshine at the door,
And the mellow melting rain-wnd
Sweeping from the South once more;
Soon the rosy naples budding,
And the willows putting forth,
Misty crimson and soft yellow
In the valleys of the North;
Soon the hazy purple distance,
Where the cabined heart takes wing,
Eager for the old migration
In the magic of the spring;
Soon, ah, soon the budding windfowers
Through the forest white and frail
And the odorouS wild cherry
Cleaning in her ghostly veil;
Soon about the waking uplands
The hepaticas in blue
Children of the first warm sunlight
In their sober Quaker hue
All our shining little sisters
Of the forest and the field,
Lifting up their quiet faces
With the secret half revealed;
Soon across the folding twilight
Of the round earth hushed to hear,
The first robin at his vespers
Calling far, serene and clear.

Saturday Evening Post.

Then the best doctors urged amputation,
"but," he writes, 81 used one bottle of
Electric Bitters and IL boxes of Bucklen S

LAST WEEKS FRESHETS,
The Penobscot Higher Than at Any Time
Since 1896,

The Penobscot Higher Than at Any Time
Since 1896.
BANGOR, April 10. From Bangor
and half a dozen miles below the head
waters of the river, the Penobscot is a
whirling, muddy mass of turbulent
water full of floating ice and logs. The
situation upon the river is without ques-
ton the most serious that has been
known in a great many years. The
water is higher by five inches than it
was during the great freshet of Febru-
airy, 1896, and much higher than at any
time for 20 years previous to that On
Tuesday night it was thought that the
most critical point in the flood had been
passed and unless there was continued
fall of rain the future damage would be
slight; but late on Wednesday after
noon there came change for the worse,
and, as stated, the situation is now criti-
cal in the extreme.
The jam at Pea Cove, a short dis
lance above Bangor, and that at COST
gan, broke, sending perfect avalanche
OF broken ice down the river, followed
by great wave of water long pent up,
down the Penobscot valley, carrying
away the western section of the Still
water Bridge, wrecking the bridges on
Pushaw Falls and the so-called Irving
Bridge, two covered bridges on the Still
water branch of the Penobscot and the
bridge across the main river between
Old Town and Milford. With the great
volume of water was swept away thou
sands of feet of logs, all of which CON-
bined filled the river with wreckage and
debris, making navigation in the river
below Hampden extremely difficult and
dangerous and impossible above that
point.
On the railroads above Bangor the
situation is much more serious than al
any time since Saturday because Of
flooded tracks between this city and Ole
Town. It is estimated that the tota
loss from all sources of logs, destruc
ton of bridges and roads damaged, rail
road tracks washed out and Interrupt
ton to traffic-will be in the neigh
borhoOd of 100000.

The Deserted Farm.

The paths UNDECIDED drift with gray
Old winters Sifted snow;
And weeds of summer nod and sway
Unnoticed where they grow;
Decay hath made its ravage felt,
The want of care is shown
By sagging beam where man once dwelt
By fence and shed o'erthroWn.
And where the farmer walked the fields
While the summers came and went,
Amid the golden harvest yields,
In peaceful calm content,
Broad hillside slope and level ground
Lie fiecked with bush and briar,
And fox and rabbit here have found
A home to their desire.
o home where plenty crowned the toll
Of hands of other days
Where sturdy labor titled the soil,
Where tiocks were wont to Craze;
Before the eye how drear and strange
The scene that time has laid,
How desOlate and sad a change
The feeting years have made.

A Fast Fisherman,

GLOUCESTER, April 1O-The new aux
Hilary fishing schooner Natalie B. Nick.
erson of Boothbay, Capt. Eben Lewis,
arrived in port tins afternoon, having
made the run from dock to dock, 100
miles, in 8 ~ hours, which is a good
record.
She came out of Boothbay at 8 this
morning under gasoline engine and sail,
the engine being given the stipulated
10-hour trial. The engine worked well
during the voyage, with the exception
of two hours, when it became heated
and was shut down.
Over the course near Southport, where
the government boats are tested, the
Nickerson made a measured mile under
engine alone at the rate of 1-2 knots.
Off the Kennebec ice and logs were en-
countered and care had to be taken to
avoid colliding with them.
On board, witnessing the tests of the
engine, were A. r. Nickerson, the own
er, and party of Boothbay men.
Capt. Lewis will start on southern
mackerel trip in few days. He was
one OF Gloucester's well-known mack
erel killers and the principal rival OF
Capt Solomon Jacobs in past years.
