THE PHANTOM LINER.

The fog lay deep on Georges Bank,
Rolling deep fold on fold;
1t dripped and dripped from the rig

And the day sank dark and cold.
The watch stood%close by the reeling

And listened into the gloom;
Was there a sound save the Stating

And the creak of the swaying

Out of the dark the great waves
crept
And shouldered darkly by,
Till over their tops a murmur crept
That was neither of sea nor sky.
"1t is the churn of a steamers
screw?"
''Is it wind that sighs?"
A shiver ran through the listening
crew,
We looked in each others eyes.
No engines throbbed, no whistles

No foam curled from her PROV,
But out of the mist liner doomed
Ten fatom from our bow.
Ten fathom from our bow.
No NAH might speak or stir, e..

Like a shroud from over her.
We shut our teeth in grim despair.
Then, like one under a spell.
Right through she as she struck ia

I saw the lift of d swell.
There was never crash of splintered
plank,
No rush of incoming tide.
There was never a tear in the MAIN

AS her hull went through our side.
Unharmed we drifted down the night.
On into the fog she drave.

MARRIAGE BEFORE AND AFTER.

There comes an hour in most mems
lives
When they may tire Of the best OF
wives;
If she takes to fussing, her cake is
dough.
My advice to her is-go. slow, go slow;
There's a better way to rule a man
Than to slight him or fight him as
hard as you can"
Girls, haven't you often heard and
read that if there's a husband intend
ed for you he will search you out, even
if you are on the desert of Sahara!
Haven't you also sbeen told that you
needn't bother your pretty heads about
how to entertain a man when he frst
calls? His interest in you Will not
make it necessary for you to be more
agreeable than your natural wont.
Just leave it all to Cupid You've
been warned, too, that 1t will not
make a bit rof difference with him
whether you act cross-if you happen
to feel so-or whether you throw of
your grumpiness and make yourself
agreeable.
The young woman who has tried out
the apparent disinterested plan has
made the discovery that she must
make herself interesting to a man If
she would have him call again, and
yet again. She must keep up the art
of being pleasing if he is to propose
marriage. Mating goes by favor. A
man gnows enough not to continue
visiting a young lady who shows by
her every word, act and deed that she
can be as Indifferent toward him as
she chooses. He knows he can Ego TO
other homes where girls will welcome
him with q smile ON their lips and thy
to make the evening pass .as pleas
antly as possible for him. Thoughts OF
the pleasant girl will cuddle close to
his heart. She is the one, he con-
cludes, that he wants for a wife. Max
ing herself agreeable has won the day
and the man.
Picture tp yourselves, after you are
married, how nice and agreeable to
your husband you were before you
wore his wedding ring. Make up your
mind that you will not risk being a
loser Thy changing the sweet ways
that won his heart and hand. There
are those who say to a bride: "My
dear, you must commence with him
just as you mean to end. You have
him tied hard and fast; you don't
have to bother entertaining him. Let
him root out his own pleasures as
best he can, in his own way, and
you'll get along just as we'll"
Against this I would say that il
wives do not make nome pleasant
for their husbands other women will
Depend on that. Even the best OF
men may lapse into being a back
