IMpATIeNcE.

By Celia Thaxter. Only to follow you, dssfest, only to- find you! q
 your hand; Only to tell you once of the love you left behind you.-. To say the world without you is like q desert of sand; That the flowers have lost their perfume, the. rose it's splendor, And the charm of nature Is lost in a dull eclipse; That joy went out with the glance of your eyes so tender, And beauty passed with the lovely smile on your lips. did not dream it was you who kindled the fnorning And folded the evening purple in peace so sweet; But you took the whole worlds rapture without warning. And left me naught save the print of your patient feet. count the days and the hours that hold us asunder: I long for Deaths friendly hand which shall rcnd in twain, With the glorious lightning Hash and the golden thunder. These clouds of the earth, and give m~ my own again!

Spent Immense Sum.

'"rhe Southern railway has spent $23,- 0O0,000 for equipment within less than three years, said c. H. Ackert, fourth vice president of the Southern who was in Birmingham yesterday. That Is pretty large sum for one railroad to spend on equipment alone, and beside that we have made many other improvements and spent money in other ways.
 'The equipment includes many new loco motives, passenger coaches, freight and coal cars. One of the latest expenditures contemplated is the purchase of 75oo freight cars, some of which will be box cars, some cattle cars and some freight cars. We have already advertised for bids for this equlpment."

 ing recently While the saving grace of humor does not apply in his case, the fact can not be denied that he has keen wit. 1t is hardly neees- sary to point out that nearly all jokes de- pend on some foible of humanity if not bit of real wickedness. The funny stories that tickle our disabilities the most deal with incidents In which the devil has a prominent part. We laugh when a mis- chievous boy plays trick on his parents but there Is nothing amusing about the boy when he behaves himself. Good deeds inspire respect and admiration but bad deeds make is laugh.

 THE LIFE WORTH LIVING. Just a little cottage where

 Just pipe that's purring and
 Pleasant dreams of yore,
 Just friend for dinner when
 Storms break bn the shore.

TOW BY ELECTRIC LAUNCH.
Proposal to Fit C0asting Vessels.-Wi
 Small POwer-Boats.

FrODOSHl 10 F1t C0ABttn& NGBBcA8--tSh
 Small P0wef-Boat New York Evening Post. a
 A proposition has been made to pro- vide coasting schooners with electric launches for towing in a calm. It is declared that since many of our large coasting schooners are fitted with power apparatus for hoisting cargoes, sails and for pumping. and frequently are supplied with dynamos for light ing the vessel, this power might be still further utilized by applying it to one or two suitable launches. which could be used for towing the vessel in calm weather and for shifting her berth in small harbors. Having plenty of power at hand, the launch could easily be hoisted out, the motor con- nected by means of an insulated cable and the vessel towed at three or four knots.
 At four knots an hour m a dead calm a vessel would make ninety six miles per day, and in this way the cost of the equipment would soon be made up in towage fees and in the saving of time.
 If the launch were equipped with batteries it would be of considerable service to the vessel when she lay in a harbor. For this purpose the battery equipment need not be large. It would probably be well to have the motor as large as the electrical equip ment of the vessel would stand for. since when towing it would draw its power directly from the dynamo the small battery equipment would not limit It's output. The outlay required for this launch should not be large and 1t would be quickly repaid. Even if the vessels were able to make only two knots, in the course of a day nearly fifty miles would be covered and she would probably be carried beyond the Inn
