WATER LILIES. How Uko yon water lily fair Is my true love! In her I find Both ia body and in mind Spotless purity combined With beauty rare. Somewhat like a lily, too, Am I! Ah, now a merry cry Biogs from her laughing lips, "Pie, flo!** ?Jet listen, saucy one, and I Will prove it true. *J? not for pow'r to charm or please, 'Tis not for comeliness of face, For purity like thine or grace. Qed knows I have but little traca Of such as these 1 But thia is why-though from her boat White rigged upon the wators still The lily dips and drinks at will. That she can never quaff her fill Is plain to note. Par when the fleecy cloud light whirls The raindrops down her leaves unfold Like sails and in her bosom's huid Shs loves to store amid the gold The dewy pearls. -Though, deep her roots like anchors trend Where life and sustenance abide. With water round, below, beside, Her thirst unslaked, unsatisfied, Still knows no end. Thus, thea, sweet lily love, am I Like tb this ever thirsting flower The moro the love that thou dost shower On me the more my will and power To drink thee dry. To quaff of love, for maids and men Doth seem, I vow, but foolish waste; The more the thirsty creatures taste The greater is their panting haste To quaff again. -Will Hill in Chambers' Joo.roaL A BASE BETRAYAL. BT CHARLES B. LEWIS. lix the year 1862 an English mer chantman, called the Reel Cross, was wrecked on a reef in the gulf of Siam, and the sole survivor of a crow of 16 men was a sailor named George Matthews. He floated an entire night and part of a day on a piece of wreck age, and was finally cast ashore on one of the Panjang islands. All cbartsupto 1864 show a group of tjuree islands. Those printed since show but two. As a matter of fact, one of the is lands disappeared in 1863, and sound over the spot show a depth of fathoms. It was on this island, however, that Matthews was cast ashore, after drifting for 30 or 40 miles, and he remained there for fpor months before being taken off. His island was almost circular in Corm and about half a mile across, and between tho wild fruit? on the trees and the shellfish along the shore the sailor did not suffer for <Se found evidences that fishermen .and shell gatherers visited the is land at intervals, but it was 130 . days after landing before he saw a ?ornan, faca . Mattt ews had been on the island rat (30 days when a strange thing ied. There was a coral reef tg the island and at low tide of it waa viable, ie morning he awoke io find ti the water had receded in all ioni until he could walk from beach te the reef. In other words, where there had been from :sp to ten feet of water he now found the ocean bed. As the sailor looked about him -and puzzled over the phenomenon caught sight of the hulk of a ?mall vessel lying in the basin and ?lose to the reef. It was reefing on side, and he soon made out that had tumbled off its bed on the as the waters receded. It was almost dry ground between him and -toe hulk, and he at once started out to examine her. It was a curious Recovery he made-an old wooden ?uB, incased in an armor of shells a ?bot thick. He judged the craft to ilia ve been of about 200 tons burden, and she bad been brig ligged. Her masts had been, broken off short dear the deck, her rudder was gone, and there was a great hole in her Bottom where she had crashed on the reef. Although in fear that the waters would return at any mo ment, the sailor gave the hulk a pretty thorough overhauling. He found that she had been armed Xp fight, and close against the reef fie found two small cannon, the hilt of a creese and the rusty barrels of three or four pistols. So thorough ly incased was the hulk in her shell armor that there was no way of get ting ioto'her without proper tools, lier bulwarks had been swept away lp the last inch, but the crust over fier decks was thicker than on her .??des. ^At the end of an hour Matthews heard a great roaring outside the reef, and realizing that the waters Were returning he ran for the beach. Something like a tidal wave swept in after him. and had he not caught the limb of a tree and palled him self up he would have been killed or drawn out to sea. It was half au hour beforothe sea grew quiet, and he then found that the hulk had been swept in and left on an upright keel so near the beach that the waters barely covered her at high tide. At low tide her whole decks and two feet of her sides were exposed,and a casual observer would have taken her for a rock. At the first low tide Matthews boarded the hull and pounded off the shells about the cabin hatch and ?nally made his way to the cabin itself. It waa full of water, of course, .*nd he gained ??thing. He realized til at so long as the hulk remained .where she was he could not pene trate the interior. He did not even board her again during his ?tay on the island. Stonie 50 days after hi* first dis -8ove?y he was taken off by a native boat and 20 days later was set ashore at Singapore. His rescuers did not notice the shell incrustad ?ulk, nor aid tue sailor say a wc concerning her. It was curie .enough that I was tho first pers he spoke toon landing at Singapo: I was a reporter on The Times a had been aboard of a craft in t harbor. Matthews accompanied me to t office and gave me the partirais of his story, and in return I suppli him with money for his imruedk wants. He said nothing to me the wreck in telling his adventure It was three days later before sought me out and gave me that 1 of information. He had concluded from the rn that the hulk was that of a Mal pirate, and he was strong in his 1 lief that she would have treasu aboard. He could not get at h alone, and, being penniless and on a common sailor, he feared that he gave his information away would not be fairly dealt with, think he trusted me simply becau he felt obliged to trust some 01 though having been a sailor mys< my heart had warmed toward hi a bit. His plan was to equip a craft a: send her to the island to overha Ihe hulk. If th6re was no treasui then it would be a dead loss ; if an thing were found, there would no one to dispute our claims. It wasn't a matter to be decid in a day, and as a matter of fact was a week before I made up n mind to take the chances. I had bit of money laid by, as did one the political editors of the papt and we took in as fourth man t. proprietor of a marine store. Ti three of us were to bear the e penses and tho four of us to sha and share alike in whatever mig be found. .There was a little trading schoon in port, which we chartered at moderate figure, and it .was agrei with the captain that if any treasu was found he should have a han some present in addition to I wages. I resigned my position < The Times to go as mate of her, ai when we finally sailed away o crew consisted of Captain Cross, J Englishman and the owner of tl craft, Matthews, myself and foi Chinamen. I had my last dollar in the outf as did the editor, and though v had induced tho merchant to inve with us he had no confidence th; anything of value would be found In due course of time and withoi adventure we reached the islan and the first thing before us wi the hulk Matthews had told abou After a cursory examination Ca; tain Cross pronounced her a natii Malay craft, and the fact of her b ing armed seemed to prove that si had cruised as a pirate. She ht not moved an inch since Matthev left the island, and we had to fa? the question of how to get at her. We had talked this over befoj leaving Singapore, however, ar had come prepared. Just where tl hulk lay the reef made a curve t< ward the beach and approached within a cable's length. Outside tl reef there was deep water, and ^ could sail the schooner close up. Our first move was to take bloc! and tackles ashore and make thei fast to the trees and to the bow < the hulk. Then the free end of cable was brought off to the schconc and made fast to her stern, and af tc waiting a whole day for a chang of wind we got it from off the islan and gave her all sail. The idea wa to make our sail power move tb hulk up the shore, but for half a hour the scheme was a failure. The cable tightened until it san like a telegraph wire, but the hui was heavy and imbedded in th sand. We were condoling with ead other over the failure when ther came a heavy gust of wind and th schooner began to crawl. Had th cable been smaller it would hnv broken under the heavy strain a the schooner surged away. That hulk had to be moved up ai incline a distance of 60 feet, and i moved almost inch by inch. Some times the schooner gained, some times she stood still, and we expect ed to see the sails fly away or tb masts go overboard. Everythinj held, however, and at the end of ai i hour the hulk was so far up th I beach that she would be entireh j clear at lo>v tide, j W<5 secured her in that positioi and felt that the heaviest part o: j our work was accomplished. Nex ! day we ran the schooner arount j through an opening in the reef ant j into a small bay, to be left to can for herself, aud set up a camp close ! by the hulk. j We began work on the wreck bj I clearing away the shells from bei ! starboard eide and boring half t j dozen auger holes to drain the watei out. She must have been undei water for .10 or 40 years to take on such an armor as she had. In some places it was quite two feet thick and I a* tough as iron. On the level deck? j it was thicker than on the sides, and j we put in two full days' work be fore we had them cleared. It was not until we had the main batch off and saw that the craft was in ballast nnly that we entered the cabin. There way- two feet or more of mud and saud on the floor, and shells and grasses had attached themselves everywhere. It wa* only a small cabin, with three berths for officer*, and nothing of value was discovered. The between decks had been fitted up for the men's quar ters, and here we found evidences of what the hulk had been in other days. There were quarters for at least 60 men, a?nd we found cutlasses and pistols and muskets Kalora, or at I least the rusting remains. In the saud on the floor wo found skulls j and "bones and bits of clothing, but not a coin or jewel of any sort. If there was a treasure room in the hulk, the entrance would be from the cabin, and there was nothing to do but clear away the sand. It took us a day to accomplish j this, but our labor was rewarded ! by finding a trapdoor leading to a lazarette. There was an iron bar across this, fastened with two huge padlocks, but all were so rus ty and weak that they gave us no trouble. The trapdoor fitted so closely that no mud had filtered down, and the ?water had been drained off by tho auger holes bored from the outside. The lazarette was a little roora just the size of the cabin overhead in length and breadth, but not over 4 feet high. I was first into it, car rying a light in either hana, and after one glance around I cried out in exultation. Even on the floor at my feet I caught the glitter of dia monds from a broken box. Bales of what had boen choico goods had been stored here, but all had been reduced to pulp. Piled up at the fa:r end against the bulkhead were 18 stout boxes, about a foot square, and to port and starboard were two iron chests just a trifle smaller than the trapdoor above. Leaving ono of the candles behind, I picked up three loose diamonds, a large pearl and a sapphire ring and made my exit, and when I had gained the cabin there was much cheering and handshaking. I will tell you exactly what wo took out of that, hulk, for I made the list with my own hand. Each of the 18 wooden boxes was packed with gold coins amounting to about $6,000. Every nation was represent ed in these coins. In the iron ohest were silver and gold amounting to $73,000, and in the other jewels to the value of $150,000. Nearly all the stones were set, and it was plain that at ?east a hundred women had been robbed to get such a lot to gether. There were a score of gold watches, ten gold snuffboxes, five jeweled sword hilts and a Chinese idol of solid gold weighing four pound 6. You may judge of our elation at coming across such a store of wealth. It took us two days to over haul it and pack it away on the schooner, and we were then ready to set sail for Singapore. We had to wait for a change of wind, how ever, and this could not be expected before morning., At about 9 o'clock at night Cap tain Cross suggested a last visit to the wreck for the purpose of setting her on 6re. It struck me that it would be a good idea to get the bulk out of the way, and Matthewg agreed. He was to remain and look after the schooner, and we left him with all going well on board. We had a walk of half a mile down the beach and around a point, and once we were aboard of the hulk we made a last search of her before ap plying the torch. We were gone about four hour? in all and returned to the bay at 1 o'clock in the morning to find the schooner gone. A favorable breeze had sprung up during our absence and Matthews had taken advantage of it to get the schooner out and run away with the treasure. She wa* out of sight when daylight came, and neither of us ever set eyes on her again or heard of the sailor. The craft may have been lost at sea, or she may have landed him in Siam, China, Borneo or Java. I had in my pocket some jewels which I had been cleaning up, and Captain Cross had tithers, and nt Singapore these sold for moro than enough to recoup us. That wai? poor consola tion, however, When we realized that we had been basely defrauded of a fortune. At the end of ten days we were taken off the island by a native craft and a year later there was no island there. A submarine disturb ance opened the bottom of the sea and sucked it down, and along with it went the charred timbers of the pirate craf t we had looted and bees robbed in turn by a man who de served hanging for his treachery and ingratitude. - While Peter Carson, of Kalama.

Sparrow and Ploceo right. While waiting for it train- at a country station at a very early hour in the morning I becamo witness of a novel encounter, which ended in a tragedy. A small bit of cheese lay on the ground not far from the plat form, and quite a large mouse emerged from under the board side walk, first to nibble at tho tooth some morsel and then to lug it into its hole, probably for the family I breakfast. Just as the mouse was on the point of securing its morning meal beyond peradventure a gray old sparrow swooped down from its perch and seized the bit of cheese before the astonished mouse could realize that its claim was disputed. Nevertheless, the mouse held fast to the bit of cheese, and the sparrow, finding that he would bo obliged to drag rodent and all out of the hole if he were to have a .square meal, did so in great shape, for an Englisfi descended sparrow is as strong as he is ferocious. The feathered pirate having suc ceeded in pulling his antagonist and the prize out to the open, let them go, and rising many feet in the air descended upon the mouse with force, striking it on the head with its beak and on the sides with its wings. The mouse was evidently no fool. Knowing that if tho rising and falling tactics of its adversary were continued it would be worsted, it dropped the cheese and managed to seizo one of the bird's legs and hold it fast. But the powerful wings had full play, and in less than two minutes the sparrow killed his rival, and, taking the cheese in his mouth, flew away with it. He left a few drops of blood behind him, how ever.-Exchange. From the Wrong Quarters.
