Friendship.

A ruddy drop of manly blood
 The surging sea outweighs; The world uncertain comes and goes,
 The lover rooted stays. I fancied he was fled
 And after many a year Glowed unexhausted kindliness,
 Like daily sunrise there. My careful heart was free again;
 Oh, friend, my bosom said, Through thee alone the sky is arched
 Through thee the rose Is red; All things through thee take nobler form
 And look beyond the earth; The mill-round of our fate appears
 A sun path in thy worth. Me, too, thy nobleness has taught
 To master my despair The fountains of my hidden life
 Are through thy friendship fair. Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Good for Evil.

There are some people who turn gray, but do not grow hoary; whose faces are furrowed, but not wrinkled whose hearts are sorely wounded In many places, but are not dead. There Is a youth that bids defiance to old age, and there Is a kindness which laughs at the worlds usage. These are they who have returned good for evil. Whom the gods love die young. and they die young because they never grow old.-Selected

OPERATING A MOTOR BOAT.

Any telephone exchange using hand generators for ringing up subscribers, will find a water motor much more convenient, as the operator only needs to press the foot lever to ring up and the bell will continue ringing as long as the lever is held down. Another ad- vantage Is that the motor and generator may be placed at some distance from the switch board, thus doing away with all noise.-Ona s. Harmas In Popular Mechanics.

Drifting.
 My soul to-day
 Is far away, Sailing the yesuvian BayI
 My winged boat,
 A bird afoat, Swims round the purple peaks remote Round purple peaks
 It sails, and seeks Blue inlets and their crystal creekA Where high rocks throw, Through deeps below. A duplicated golden glow.
 Far, vague, and dim,
 The mountains swim, While on Vesuvius' misty brim With outstretched hands The gray smoke stands O'erlooking the volcanic lands.
 Here Ishia smiles
 Ger liquid miles:< And yonder, bluest of the isles, Calm Capri waits
 Her sapphire gates Beguiling to her bright estates. heed not, If
 My rippling skif Float swift or slow from clif to clih- With dreamful eyes
 My spirit lies Under the walls of Paradise.
 Under the walls
 Where swells and falls The bays deep breast at intervals, At peace I lie,
 Blown softly by, A cloud upon this liquid sky.
 The day so mild,
 Is Heavens own child, With earth and ocean reconciled- The airs I feel
 Around me steal Are murmuring to the murmuring keel. Over the rail
 My hand trail Within the shadow of the sail A joy intense,
 The cooling sense Glides down my drowsy indolsnca With dreamtul eyes
 My spirit lies Where summer sings and never dies O'erveiled with vines,
 She glows and shines Among her future oil and wines. Her children hid
 The cliffs amid, Are gamboling with the gamboling Ed Or down the walls,
 With tipsy calls, Laugh on the rocks like waterfalls The fishers child
 With tresses wild, Unto the smooth. bright sand beguilsd With glowing lips.
 Sings as she skips, Or Tazes at the far-of shipA
 Ton deep bark goes
 Where traffic blows, From lands of sun to lands of snows- This happier one
 Its course has run From lands of snow to lands of suA.

 To rise and dip, With the blue crystal at your lipi o happy crew,
 My heart with you Sails, and sails, and sings anewl No more, no more
