sunset Of sulphurous hue on the waters abb
That plunge to the north and the south and
the east and the west,
Md leap to the sinister light from their furious
torrent
As if they would fain break the spell OF their
torment and rest
In the yitreous gks4pa of the sky with the dark

The pillows that bowl to the lash Of the wind
Break up with intolerant force and infuriate

OF limits rebound and rebound by the spirit

For the waves they are weary of sinking and
rising and flying,
And weary Of wind and the rage of the stream
They are weary OF cries OF despair and the means
of the diving,
And they long for the peace of a tranquil and
passionleSs sleep;
They are weary of dragging the foam-chains in
trcachcrous places,
OF surge and Of swirl and Of refuent sweep to
the shoals,
And weary of washing the CHASTITY and drowning
white faces
That Hoat and cry out to the parting and ter
But the demon Of wreck is their monstrous and
mercilcss master,
Md he comes even now from the hot Carib-

Where the togrid sun breeds to his spirit a host
for disaster
That turks for the fall Of a night with no
moon and no star.
He has gathered the winds of the tropic and
direful tornadoes
That spread devastation by day and destruc-

He las sent for his herald the lightning that
gifts the Barbados.
And his mantle is thunder and whirlwind the
track Of his flight.
He tTaupleS the bays and the straits with dis

As he sweeps from the Mexican Gulf to the roar

Foresignaiins storm to the night and the place
Of his prey.
From the rack OF the sky of the twilight a less

Sinks into the gathering gloom of the black

And the wandering breakers are lit with a

As landward they srieye in the glimlner Of

A giirlmer thai tracks a lone ship Which is toll

From the demon that comes with a luminous

Aud the waves that are weary of wreck and
destruction are maddened.
They rise to the call of the trumpeting hurri-

They race to salute him in frenzy as if they
At the sound Of his voice and the svoop Of his

John Henry Boner.

Death is not q ruthless ~cOnquerOr when
he comes as he came last night to John
Henry Boner. Mr.. Boner, with a gentle
Christian resignation had welcomed him.
AS | looked this morning on the pallid
face of my friend-North Cardinals most
representative poet-he seemed only in 4
peaceful slumber, presently to arouse to
the stern duties of mortal life. He had
not aged-he was always wan in face, for
the animation that lighted his eye and
inspired his c~oUntenance. God had taken
him from wife and friends and clothed
his immortal spirit with a nobler radi-
ance-that was all.
John Henry Boncr, of Salem, was a
type of the Moravian community, in he
midst of which he was reared and grew
nature, calm in mood, intelligent without
e~xt1avagent sentimentalism, essentially
religious, deyout in some phases of his
| personal and p~oetical being, and if hot
what is STAMPED by the approval of a
rigid criticism a genius of a high order,
he had nevertheless the finest qualities
of manhood united with undoubtedly
splendid talents. 1t has always been my
belief that had he enjoyed in youth the
benefits of q University education, had
he then not been compelled to struggle
| for bread in an uncongenial occupation,
| but had had the advantages of travel and
| culture, he would nave risen to a much
| higher work in American letters. AS it
was he attained distinction and before
he had passed middle life had been known
| both at home and abroad as a true singer
and a man Of fine promise.
A Leipsic publisher, some twenty odd
years since, included in a single volume

hundred selections, three or four of NJ.
| Boner's poems. This was an honor which
he duly appreciated. 1t was in his early
i Washington life, before he had lived in
the charmed literary circle of the great
metropolis.
The largest collection of his poetry
was the volume entitled THE Whisper
irg Pines issued by Prentnes. 1t con
tanned the best of his boynood verse,
some of it remodelled, and very much OF
his later poetry.

scribed the writer's pathetic feeling a.

volume there were a number OF SOuthecn
nature-pieces, which show his poetica
and sectional affinity with Timrod ahd
Rayne and SAVER. So far as North Car
DINA poets are concerned, | would com
pare him with his friend, T. II. Hill, and
my friend, Edwin w. Fuller.

And ioyed my soul at my ingle-nook.

But my heart was not the heart OF u hare.

But he came with the fall of night each day,
And his sniff, sniff, sniff the whole night through

And the time came when l laughed no more.
But glanced with fear at my frail lodge door,
For now | knew that the wolf at bay

The Fates were three, and | was one.
About my life i net was spun;
My soul grew faint in the deadly snare,
No homage had been offered, no alteration pald,
And the shrewd wolf knew my hearts despair.

Twenty Years In Auburn Prison for Causing
Death Of Ethel Dingle.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, May ls.-Leland Dorr
Kent was to-day sentenced to twenty years
at hard labor in Auburn Prison for killing
Ethel Branche Dingle. DR.. Kent received
the sentence coolly, but his father acted as
if he had received blow. Tears filed the
old mans eyes and his mouth moved con-
vulsvey.
Judge Sutherland said in passing sentence.
that Dr. Kent had stabbed Miss Dingle TO
death while she was lying in bed uncon-
scious from the effect OF drugs. George
Raines. Kent's lawyer. asked for a new
trial and it was denied. He Immediately
announced that he would appeal. Dis
trict Attorney Warren said that IL the case
lie sent back for new trial, Kent will be re-
indicted for murder and tried on that charge
instead of on the charge Of aiding and abet-
ting q suicide.
Mrs Kent, the doctors wife. is insane
in Buffalo from the shock OF her husbands
conviction, and DR.. Gregg. the famous nerve
specialist. says she ia probably hopelessly
insane. She calls for her husband con.
tinually and imagines that his trial is still
in progress
