Top Of Mast Seen After Signals OF
Distress Were Sighted.


Boston, Aug. Is. - Captain Mcneil,
master of the Grand banks fisherman
Lucinda |. Lowe. on coming into port
here reported that he believed craft
went down about seven miles off Cape
Ann during the night. He says that
signal lights of distress We're seen off
his lee bow. On altering his course in
response to bring the schooner into
that vicinity he passed white painted
mast projecting from the water
Captain Mcneil says the lights dis
played We're two green, two red, one
blue and then red light, combina-
ton he had never seen before For
that reason he thought a yacht was in
distress. A hard northwest wind was
blowing at the time.
1t is believed that the signals came
from a yacht belonging to the New
York Yacht clubs squadron now cruis-
ing in those waters.

THE MERRY HEART.

When you come to a wearisome bit of the
road
Where the stones are thick and the path
is steep,
And the back is bowed with the heft of the
load,
AS the narrowing way is hard to keep
Don't stop just then for wasteful sigh,
But challenge the worst with steadfast
cheer;
II nowhere else, there's help on high
Gods angel will hasten, your pioneer.
When you reach lonesome bit of the
road,
Curtained about with mist and murk,
And you hear faint sounds from the dread
above,
Where shivering, grim hobgoblins Turk,
Just laugh to scorn their doleful cries
This is the place to whistle and sing;
Brush the f9g rom your fearless eyes,
And close to the faith Of your fathers
cling.
When you stand at a sorrowful bit Of the
road
And hand You loved has loosed its clasp;
When streams are dry that in sweetness
flowed,
And flowers drop from your Istless
grasp;
Zen now take heart, for further on
There are hope and JOY and the dawn of
day;
You shaM fnd again what you thought
was gone:
lis the merry heart goes all the way.

A curiosity u great aIltl4ulty is still
to be seen within ST. Andrews church,
at Willoughton, near Gainsborough,
says a Sunday magazine. This is a
quaint speaking trumpet, with an OBJ
scure early history dating back to the
times of the Knights Iemplar- In
shape it resembles a French horn, and
is more than five feet long, having a
bell at the end of the graduated tube.
1t was formerly six feet in length, but
is now telescoped at the joints where
the metal has apparently decayed
Tradition declares it was formerly
sounded from the tower to summon
aid in case Of need, as when blown at a
height the weird, deep notes the trum-
pet produced could be heard at great
distance away in bygone days. It is
believed that this curious instrument
has often been used to call together
the villagers, thus dispensing with the
usual bell and-to give additional power
and strength to the choir, being prob
ably used by the chief singer, as the
trumpet intensifies vocal sound to a
marked degree.-St. James Gazette.
