Cleansing Fire*. BT ADKLIIDC PROCTOR. - Let thy gold be cast la the furnace Thy red gold, preci os and bright; Do not fear for the hungry.nr.e, With ILS caverns of burning light. And tue gold shall return more precious, Free from every spot and s'aln; For gold must be tried by Are, AS a heart must be tried by pain l In the cruel Are of sorrow, Cast thy heart, do not faint or wall; Let thy hand be arm and steady, Do not let thy spiri . q? ail. But walt till the trial ls over, And take thy heart attain; For, as gold is tried bv Are, So a heart mutt be tried by pain 1 1 shall know by the gleam and the glitter Of the golden chain you wear, - By your heart's calm strength in loving, Of the Ure yon have bad to beer. Beat on. true heart, forever I Shine bright, strong, gol len chain; And Mess the cleansing Ure, And th J furnace of living pain t THE HORRORS OF THE SEA. Seven Days Without Food or Water in / ' the MW-Ocean. Pilchard Smith, the fireman of the ill-fated Missouri, arrived on Saturday in the steam ship Columbia from Havana. He tells the following story of bis escape from the burn ing ship, and his subsequent sufferings while drifting about upon the ocean for seven days without food or water: When the fire In the ship had got beyond control the captain cave the orders to stop the engines and launch the boats. Smith Jumped Into a boat containing nine men, and nearly flited with water. Alter drifting about for flf.ee n or twenty minutes they saw another boat, the occupants of which gave them a bucket. Smith and his companions attempted to bail their boat, out the sea ran so high that lt waa Impossible to empty lt. Tbey kept row ing until three or four o'clock In the morn ing, and then Baw another boat, bottom up, with two men clinging to lt. Smith swam to the capsized boat lor the purpose of righting her. One ef the men that was clinging to J her cook Smith's place In the other beat. It waa dark, and the twe boats soon drifted out of sight of each other, leaving smith and one Stewart alone on the capsized boat. While clinging to the boat's keel, the sea dashing | over teem, they heard the wild screams of the women and children who were still in tbe burning ship, until the masts tottered and fell and the vessel went down beneath the waves. Smith and Stewart finally succeeded In right ing their boat, and lashed the oars across lt to prevent lt from again capsizing. The boat waa still full of water, and was washed from stem to stern by every sea. Smith prayed to God to save them, and while he was praying a wave dashed over bim, oiling his eyes, mouth and nose with salt water and almost blinding i , him. At daybreak they made paddles of the boat's j seats and paddled all day. Tbe sharks fol lowed the boat constantly, and Smith ire- j qt&ntly hit them with his paddle. On the | morning of the third, day they succeeded in balling the boat, and then made a sall out ol' canvas torn from a Ute preserver. 1 bey bad not a morsel of food nor a drop of water, and their sufferings were terrible. On the third j night, while sitting at one end of the boat, be waa startled bj a voice crying "Help! help!" It waa the voice of bis companion, who had j fallen into the ocean. Smith Jumped Into the water and saved bim. Ho was just in time. A shark had seen Stewart and darted at the boat with open Jaws Just as Smith drew him | ont of the water. The .shark remained all night alongside ot tbe boat. Smith drove lt | away several: Um ea with bis paddle, but the hideous monster always returned; and tbe boat was soon surrounded by huge sharks that seemed to be waiting for their prey. Stewart was very much excited. He fell on Smith's neck a dozen times, and thanked him for hav lng saved his life. He said he was not afraid to die, but did not want to die so horrible a j death. This night seemed to last an age. At daybreak they saw a sall. They rowed toward the ship, they shouted and signalled, bat it was all lu vain; nobody could bear them, and the ship sailed ont of sight. AB tbe dark outlines of the ship became fainter and fainter their hearts sank, and' they gave up all hope of bel g saved. Smith says ne felt no hunger, although h had not tasted food for four days, He prayed constantly for a sight of land. He forgot tb .cold, tbe blinding spray, the thirst, the. banger, In that one thought. He would look lor land until hla eyes became weary, and he could loos: no longer. At last a ram-1 atora came, and the" two men caught enough o fresh water to wet their parched lips. Toe relief was dearly paid. for. as the rain poured In torrents and the,' wind Increased to a sale, until clouds and waves seemed to be one mass ! of dashing foam. Still they were thankful for the few drops ot water they caught upon their j Ups, for haalt not been for the storm they would probably have died of thirst. Seven days and nights of Intense suffering J passed away, and on- the morning of the eighth day they eaught sight ot lao d. They embraced each other and shed tears ot joy. They had struok on a reef about a mlle and a J bab! from Abaco. It was 3 o'clock In tbe morning. It. was .a wild, lonely spot, and there were no signs of vegetation. Smith crawled on bia hands and leet looking tor something to eat. He lound some spider crabs and a few prickly pears. He ate some of the crabs-the first food he had tasted for eight days. He took, the pears to Stewart "NeveriiaB anything tn my life tasted to me BO sweet," said Stewart, after he had eaten the, first pear. Smith ate some too, and I thought tbey were delicious. A dozen of these prickly pears lasted them three days. They built themaelves'a am all but oat of one oar and a mass of weeda whloh Smith had found among tba rooks. Stewart, had suffered terribly from hunger. He said: "I know shall starve to death. I have been saved from the sharks to die of | starvation." - At night he raved. The han ger had driven him to madness. He raved abont'bls family, his wife and his children, and hagged Smith to his heart In the belief that he was bis son. One night they were sleeping together lo their tent, and ali la sudden Stewart's breath seemed to cease. Smith felt bis friend's body; It waa warm. But In the next moment Jila pulse had, stopped. Smith felt bis trlenc.'s body again; lt was cold. Smith qult'the tent and sat on the rooks all night. He could not sleep in tbe tent with the corpse of hts friend- The next morning be dragged the body to th rocke and ooverea lt with sand and se waed. Smith soent fifteen days on the rocks. On the- sixteenth day a schooner hove In sight He made a signal ont of the dead Stewart's pantaloons.' T wenty-four h on ra passed before the signal was seen by any one on board the approaching vessel. Meantime Smith, weak from suffering, hadsunk back upon tbe rocks, unable to mo ve. * Bnddenlv; he heard a voice; lt seemed to him almost like a dream. "Here li a man," the voice eald, "but I don't know whether he ls dead or alive." Smith heard another voice, "No, captain, this man ls not dead; I see him move." The words revived bim. He jumped up. and fainted toto the arfas of the captain anti the mate, who took bim on board the schooner.
