A LIFE SAVER.

The coarser soul but lightly feels
The daily dole of i'll,
But what distress each hour reveals
For him, who in his heart conceals
Some aspirations still
I cannot fawningly implore
As feeble, false hearts can,
But in humility before
The power that bars my prison door
I plead as MAN TO MAN.
Oft folly more than vice appears
In errors we have made.
The ideal that the man reveres
Is not the dream of early years,
Youths brief decisions fade.
Though hearts embittered still retain
A grudge for old mistakes,
Excessive penalties are vain,
The long monotony Of pain
No restitution makes
That ancient "eye-f or-eye" decree
God hath Himself destroyed,
Still speaks that voice from Calvary,
Shall Shyocks in their ghouish glee
Make His commandments void?
Ave. blessed are the merciful,
Oh, Christian hearts relent;
For sins of folly, faults of will,
I kneel at Mercy's Tribunal
A contrite penitent.
Long have suffered, long,
The agonizing years
Have held no freight of love and song
And laughter; only pain and wrong,
And penitence and tears.
For home, for love- for liberty,
To toll as free men CAM
Oh, Hand of Fate that bars to me
The Gates of Opportunity
plead as MAN TO MAN!

WARSHIPS CALLED IN
FROM SEARCH FOR NINA.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-All hope
that the missing United States navy
tug Nina, which left Norfolk February
s, bound to Boston with thirty-two
souls aboard Is still afloat has been
abandoned by the Navy Department,
and today the warships which for FIVE
days have been searching for the Nina
were ordered to discontinue their
search.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-The reason
given for the abandonment of the
search was that there could be no hope
for the safety of a vessel of the Nina s
type which had been out of port eleven
days on cruise which should have
been completed in two or three. The
further fact that a dozen vessels had
secured the sea between Boston and
Norfolk without success has tended to
confirm this opinion. Some of the
Younger naval officers who have COM
manded just such tugs as the Nina.
and are enthusiastic over their sea-
going qualities, under proper manage
ment, still privately cherish the idea
that the Nina has been blown far out
to sea: has perhaps fallen into the
Gulf stream and may be spoken by
some of the transatlantic liners in
the great sea lane, which those vessels
follow on their voyages between Eu-
rope and America, but officially the
department has abandoned all hope.
With the small hope that some of the
crew of the little vessel may have been
picked up by a tramp or by sailing
ship, the department will wait a rea-
sonable time before making the formal
entry on the record of the departments
OF the death of the thirty-two mariners
who made up the personnel of the
Nina.
