In the Dark Days.

Through lanes of the faded heather,
Ger graves of the withered leaves,
In the face of the autumn weather,
From the fields of the absent sheaves>
pass to the darkening winter,
And have not fear nor pain,
For the life of the world abideth.
And the spring will come again.
Dear heart that is growing weary,
Let not thy faith decay;
Some days of the year are dreary,
But the fogs will pass away.
Ever the sun shines somewhere,
Over the land and sea;
Be strong in thy faith and courage
There are summers yet for thee.

New Orleans.

but with me it was either 90 or
starve. l had been laid up for nine
weeks with an injured hand and
was heels over head in debt, con-
sequently when the shipping mas
ter's runner asked me to ship on
an American barque bound for
New Orleans and offered $50 for
the trip, I jumped at the chance.
The next day [ and the rest of
the crew we're put aboard the
barque, which was taking on 1000
kegs of gunpowder at Bedlow's
Isle. Bedlow's Isle was at that
time powder magazine; the
Bartholdi statue had not been
erected on it as yet.
When the powder was aboard we
took tow to sea, but we're held up
by steam lighter with so barrels
of marble dust for us. Our captain
was drunk, the mate was about
three sheets in the wind, and we
sailors, we'll, we we're just drunk
enough to think we were sober
| We took the marble dust aboard
and dumped it down the main
hatch on top of the kegs Of powder,
thereby breaking several of the
kegs. But few kegs of loose
powder didn't bother us in the
least and down went the matches
and we proceeded to sea.
! Everything went we'll and we
eventually arrived at the mouth of
I. the Mississippi. Here we found
two other ships, light, waiting for
tow up to the city. A tug, with
, us loaded heavy on one side of her
and the two light ones on the
other, towed us up. She could
| handle us better against the cur
rent this way. While being towed
we had nothing to do but view the
scenery, SO our captain tried to get
us to bring the barrels of marble
dust on deck. We sailors didn't
relish that idea a bit, so [ edged
over to the captain Of the tug and
! asked him if he wanted to go to
, Heaven just then. I told him there
! were 1000 kegs of powder in our
. hold and that several of the kegs
had been broken open. [ also re-
minded him that the matches were
l off and that his tug was throwing
r sparks. SILVER m timbers! If that
d captain didn't almost have a fit
s He ordered our captain to put
those matches on or he would be
cut adrift. The matches went on
AS we had powder aboard we
were obliged to tie up at the powder
!. wharf, which is two miles below
e the city. When the negro steve.

loose powder they almost broke
o their necks getting away. Ou1

1.-THE attraction at the Colonial Thea
tire tomorrow night. The action Of
the play is laid in Rome during the
time of which even history shudders

was the most degenerate place on the
face of the globe. a veritable Sodom

ground the beautiful story of the
suffering and martyrdom of the early
Chritians, who were tortured and
given TO the beasts in the arena be-
cause of their faith, is told in q
graphic and impressive manner. Seen
ILLEGALLY the production is on an elabo-

cry and wardrobe, the work of emil
nent English artists, is carried in
order that the play may be presented
as when produced by. Wilson Barrett

setback to the sale of oysters, as the

bushels of oysters were landed at Pratt

there was a small demand for them.

Thursday with their holds full of

Judging from the congregation of

willie seems to be growing in import
ance as a summering resort anu the

Odenton and Annapolis Junction. Ii
| is hoped that these annoyances viii be
obviated when the electric road is
built. The improvements made by the
late r.. T. Woodward and by Mr..

properties have greatly enhanced the
values in their neighborhoods. The
