Away! away! the *hip lllee fast.
The ekipper’s wife is at his side.
In fear she scant the darkening tide.
“Pear not,” qnoth he; “thou’rt safe with roe,
Though the fiend himself should tail the tea!'
And merrily ho Lthe breezes blow,
Orer the sea the ship doth go. ^
The sea grew black, the wind blew high;
“A ship! A thipf’ the sstiors cry;
Down sank the blood-i'ed sun in flame,

She had no tails, ho oars, no crew
But nearer, nearer still the flew.
One lone dark man on deck they see.
They can hear him laughing mockingly.
The shipper stood with frozen stare,
His men were white with wild despair;
The tempest shrieked, the tea wat flame,
And nearer still the strange ship came.
Down knelt the skipper’s wife and prayed.
t “God of the Mtilors,' send us aid.”
Each stony sailor bent,hit knee:
"Sare us, O Lord! we cry to Thee!"
Hurrah! Hurrah! the spell is done!

Our Thirst Difficulty.
Robert and I had been married eight
iron mouths before we seriously disagreed
in anything. Our life during that tim
had not been a season of perfect bliaa ns
some would hare it, bat we certainly
had been bappy—as happy I think as
any can before reaching Paradise, and
when our baby come, it seemed as if oui
f rujl was full to overflowing. I like, even
now, to dwell on the joy qf those days
when 1 was first a mother, and as for
^Robert, I think there never was a prond-
or or more affectionate father than he.
‘ Well', Esther,” he would say when he
came in at night, "we are not rich in
houses and lands as some are; bat we
are rich in onr daughter; ahe is like wis
dom, for she is more precious than
rubies.” _^r >
But T know that the fond praise of
doting rents is but emptiness to others,
so I w not tire you by repeating all he
said. It was not idle talk to me, how
ever; no praise to my imagination was
too great for my little one, my May
Moss m as 1 csHed her, for sbe came t<
ns in the merry month of May. Never
X-t i'Qth agreed, was there a child *
u onderful as oars, and before the litth
Granger had l)een with ns a month, w
had laid many brullan., for hoi
future. - —'
But I am wandering from ray story.
We were living in Kansas, far awa^
from both Robert’s relations and m\
own. We had not, therefore, asis gen
erally the case, a host of aunts, uncles
and cousins Jo urge that the child should
be named according to their fancy. 8
it come to pass that-onr lady was nearh
two months old before the subject had
been debated. But one day, how well i
remember it, Robert said, as he'tossed
Tier iiTEis arms for a final good-by be

don’t you think it’s about time thi.-
maiden of ours had a name of her own V.
Wilson was asking me this morning
what we had decided to call her, and 1
told him I-supposed we thought her
good enough without a name, for we had
never spoken al>ont it.”
"Mr. Wilson’* child was named befor*
he was a week old, so I don’t wonder
that he, thinks us rather tardy,”
said L Jl ' - jj-'-. -
"Well, what shall it be, Esther?
Rosamond or Rachel? Bridget or Jo-
arum? Rate or Arabella? Or haven’t
you thought of tho,matter yet ?”
"Our child’s name waa decided in my
own mind long ago,” I answered, and
(hen for some reason I cannot account
for, I hesitated, though I certainly had
no idea of what waq to follow.
"Well, let ns henrik It is something
extraordinary, I suppose; nothing less
’ would suit our darling.”
"It is Maiy,” I said.
"Mary! sorely yon must be joking.
Yon can’t mean it, Esther I”
"Why not?" I asked, the blood rush
ing to my face involuntarily.
"So you have a Byronio passion for
the name of Mary. Well, I mutt ae-
knowledge that l am entirely free from

think of. calling our daughter by that

shall not!” I said firmly to myself.
the tea-table that evening, we dis
cussed a variety of topics, bnt both
avoided, aa if by oommon consent, the
one subject nearest onr hearts. When
the meal waa over, however, aad we sat
together near onr little one’s cradle,
Robert commenced:
“Well, Esther, have yon found any
name this afternoon that pleased yon?
I’ve been thinking the matter over, and
I've come to the oondnaion that Laura
*ud Evelyn suit me very well—Laura
Evelyn Spencer. How do yon like it ?”
"I like both names well enough,” I
answered coldly, "but there is only one
name for onr daughter, and that I have
told yon. It is my mother’s name, as
yon know, Robert, and I have always
said that my first daughter should be
my mother’s namesake, but I never
dreamed that you would tfcel so about it,”
[ continued, ready to cry, yet keeping
the tears back by a great effort.
"If your mother was not living,
Esther, there would be some reason for
your feeling so, bnt aa it is ”
"If my mother was dead, I would not
care ao much about it, for it then could
afford her no pleasure,” I cried.
"If it were any name but Mary, I
would consent, even though it did not
f lease me,"said Robert. ."Come Esther,
be reasonable; there are so many pretty
names, and Mary, besides being so com
mon, la to me the very essence of plain
ness.”
But my mind was made np, and 1
would not listen.
"She is your daughter, aa well as
mine, Robert,” I said, "and, of course,
you will name her to salt yourself, but
to me, she can never be any other t han
wfraiT fcwrauuifl " — i
How onr conversation would have
ended I cannot tell, bnt fortunately for
both of ns, it was interrupted by callers
who spent the evening with ns, and for
the time being onr dispute and its cause
were forgotten.
At breakfast the next morning the
subject was not once alluded to in eveu
the most remote way, and at noon and
in the evening it was the same.
Another day came and went, and still
another, and yet not a word was said.
Our table-talk waa no longer the pleas
ant pastime it had once been, for we
found it difficult to sustain a convci>a
fion on topics of minor interest, wi.i.
the one subject which engrossed onr
hearts and minds waa tabooed.
"Behold how great a matter * little
fire kindleth 1” ——
As day after day passed away, and the
week drew to *. close, a heavy weight
settled on my heart ja.y ap
peared a different person to me. It
seemed to me that a great gulf had
come between ns; eve* baby,-who before
had been associated only with the
parestf^eepest joy, seemed’changed. I
could not take her in my arms without
thinking of what I chose to call my
trouble.
Friday morning came. It was a love
ly, sunshiny day; but it seemed to me
tiie dreariest ever sun rose upon.
"Who would think Robert could be
so obstinate?” I said to myself, as I
rocked my little one to sleep, _ .~~
—Just-before noon onr pastor called. I
waa so ill at ease that it was with diffi
culty that I sustained my pert , in the
conversation. I suppose he noticed my
agitation, for h> inquired if I were well
as usual. For an instant I felt half in-
cKned to tell him all. It seemed aa if it
would be a relief to open my heart to
some one; bnt a feeling of pride re
strained me. ’ t,
Robert seemed unusually silent at din
ner, and I fancied he was looking pale
and ilL He kissed the baby, but did
not toss her in the air and {flay with her
as he generally did; as for myself, every
word I spoke cost me an effort. When
Robert had gone, I took my little girl in
my arms and rocked her to sleep, then 1
threw myself in the chair again, and
silently brooded over my unhappiness.
It seemed to me that a good hearty cry
would be a luxury, bnt it was a luxury
in which I had deterthined I. would not
indulge.
The tim* passed slowly away, and 1
began., to wonder why baby did not
wake. I went over to the cradle, Hei
face was flashed, and I thought hei
breathing very unnatural. "What il

I cannot tell what happened next, for
I really do not know; bnt I have had
seven children since then, and they

the Imigration Commissioners in New

In his plan Farragut.wished to com

the preparations were left very much to

In Europe the United States is regarded
as a short-sighted nation for being so
indifferent about the basis of its citizen

elements.”
"Are these people sent over as a mat
ter of economy merely. ”
"That is all. You see it costs perhaps
280 francs a year, or $46, to support a
criminal in Switzerland, while it only
costs 160 francs, or $32, to sent the same
man by rail to the port of Havre and
thence to America. There is a deilr
saving, therefore, of one-half or more to
get the fellow off to Aiheric* and have
him out of the way.”
"Who shtjirliun ?”
"It is doneNby an emigration agent
having relation^ with one of the steam
ship lines; that is to say 4 not a steamship
agent exactly, but a man who has a com
mission for selling a ticket. They make

cannot hava too many. They are mak

"Bnt I do think of it,” I responded,
"and I cannot imagine what objection
you can have, few almost every one
agrees that there is no sweeter name.”
My husband's face grew dark.

might aa well not name the child at all.

company are about $600,000. There
are perhaps a dozen such companies in
New York city alone, and then ate
private investors, now that money is
plentiful all over the ooun try ;ao that
there is no lack of opportunity to get
mortgagee on farms. But so hard are
they to get off that, notwithstanding the
fact that investors will not generally loan
more than a third or a half of the value
of the aecnrlty offered, a broket who
deals largely in farm mortgages, recent
ly acid to the writer that, as a rale, mort
gagee are not paid. That is to aey,
when a farm is once mortgaged, it in a
majority of instances remains so for a
long time. If one mortgage la paid,
another is made to raise the money. If
it is foreclosed, it la very rartf that any-
thing is paid back to the faintar. If it
is aold. It often eontinues to be traded
around until it gets into-the hands of
some one who nae it in baying the \m£,
end so gets "satisfied.”
Money at seven per oent. will double
in ten yean if the interest is kspt invest
ed. If the farmer carries a mortgage of
aey $6,006 for thirty years, it will coat
him, at seven per oent. about $35,000
forthetai of the $5,000. TUs enor
mous figure, obtained ft} computing in
terest at seven per cent, on the amounts
paid, is no more than a fair estimation of
the cost of such a mortgage, for the
farmer oan doubtless always invest his
money in something which will yield
him seven per cent __
Therefore:—!. Do not mortgage the
farm on leas it is absolutely neeaarary.
But, aa a general rule k lees valnable
than a particular one, it may be well to
specify, by adding: 1 Do not mort

more land. Where there la absolute
certainty that more oan be made out .of
the land then the cost of the mortgage,
this rale might uot apply. Butafaso-

tion is oommou. A Do not mortgage a
farm unices you are sore of the contin

meat based on an experience of the
land’s virginity only, which, on failing,
may leave the land less productive, and

which may result in the loss of the farm.
