*Tiras only a newspaper— so men said—
A venture ended, a newspaper dead.
Thus they chatted on in a careless way,
Saying that papers were failing each day.
But they little thought of the hope and pride
Wrecked and crushed when the newspaper
died.
And they did not think of the aims so high,
Nor of the aspirations bright as the sky.
And they never dreamed of the pain and woo
That surged through his heart when the paper
must go.
For ’tis never known in the world of men
What agony haunts a poor editor's den.
His paper he viewed with a father's pride,
And loved it as men do their chosen bride.
For its life and weal ho ha-1 toiled when still
I,ay the sleeping world like a frozen rilL
Re had studied and delved for a sentence new.
That would shine wi tli the luster of sun-touched
dew.
And his thoughts soared off on tho wings of
bliss,
And his smile, grew as soft as an angel's kiss
When the printed sheet of his own command
He first had held in his eager hand.
And liis bosom thrilled with a touch of pride
When he saw perfection on every side.
A ml his heart grew light, for his faith was
strong
As the waves of the sea when they dash along
Itat clouds oame over his summer sky,
And tho chilling winds of doubt swept hy,
And the editor’s cheek grew wan and paJo,
For he felt that his newspaper venture might
Tef. lie toilod away, ami tho world—for him—
Meant four low walls and an ofilco dim,
With windows small—and a dusty floor—
And a broken bingo on tho creaking door,
And he thought of the old-timo martyrs, when
He climbed the stairs of his dreary den.
He bad straggled bravely—without avail
For now the paper was going to fail.
The printers struck, and tho harsh blow brolio
The editor’s heart hy the force of its stroke.
He yieled at last—oveiv rosourco ended—
And wrote this sad epitaph: "Paper Sus¬
pended."
Only a newspaper? aye, there was more
Of hoart-aclio aud grief than ever Is fure
Found place in a life, and the editor wept
Had, silent tears while the careless world slept,
Only a newspaper ! yet with its lifo
Went hope and ambition ami strength for all
strife ;
And there, like the blood on a battle-field red
Au editor's great aspirations lay dead!

“My name is William roarco. I hnvo
Used the sea for above eight-and-twenty
years, have sailed in all kinds of ships iu
all sorts of capacities—boy, ordinary
seaman, crossed tho sail-maker, bo’sun’s mate;
Atlantic seventeen times,
and been round tho worid eight; been
shipwrecked thrice ; likewise overboard
during sevon hours of darkness, and
picked up a t daybreak with my head in
a life-buoy; know the pretty nigh tho best
and the worst of i weather that’s to be
found at sea ; and am therefore car ml >lo
of taking my oath to this, that of nil the
bad heard jobs that ever I was in, or that over
I of any other sailor being in,
there's nothing to bent tho sufferings us
men of the schooner Richard Warbriok
had to endure when the foundering of
that vessel obliged us to take to the bout.
“The schooner sailed from Runcorn
with a cargo of coal for Plymouth. Blio
was hundred twenty years old, and a tritle over a
tons burden. Thorp were flvo
of pened a crow, and nothing particular hap¬
until wo were abreast of tho
Bristol Channel, when thoro blew up a
heavy gale of wind from the east'ard.
There's no call to describe it; it was of
the regular kind, full of wet, and raising
a sea a sight too big for a vessel of one
hundred tons pretty nigh chock-a-block
with coal and with twenty years of hard
use in her hull. However, wo scraped
through tho gale, and two or three more
that followed fast, until one morning we
were somewhere betwixt the Hoilly Isles
and tlio Cornish coast. It was dark,
thick weather, blowing and raining hard,
the sea rough, bitter cold—as you may
calculate it was, the month being Jan¬
uary—ami everything invisible that was
more than half a mile off. Tlio wiud
was cast ami north, and small we were ratching
along under very canvas, when,

nary for that likelihood How long
were last the gales and the frost going to let
ns ? We were far to the aor ard of
the fairway m a part of the sea that
every vessel was bound to give a wide
berth to. The weather, as I have said,
was ro thick that you couldn’t see half a
mile off; and though of course it was
sure to clear in time and open out the
horizon, so that vessels could have a
view around them, tho question was,
Where would we be when it came on
fine ?
“Unlike a good many others whobave
gone this, through such dreadful messes as
our sufferings began the moment
we tumbled into the boat. In the lowest
latitudes that ever I was in I never felt
such cold. Had the water been fresh
our clothes would have froze into cov¬
erings of ice. Tho air was full of spray,
and squalls of sleet came rolling up. Wo
sat in the bottom of the boat in a lump,
of to keep her steady, and for the shelter
one another’s bodies, aud thoso who
were to windward—that is, in the fore¬
and port—would shift from timo to timo,
others take their place. We had no
mast nor sail, nothing but the two oars
wo rode to. It was a Monday, and all
through the daylight we sat lifting our
! eyes above the gunwales, and trying to
pierce tho haze for a vessel. It was
blowing abont half a galo of wind, and
it kept steady. Now and then we’d ship
11 dose of water, and bale it out with our
caps; but it kept our feet soaking, being and I
reckon it was worse than without
borate at all. The boat did well, and tlio
oars were a kind of breakwater, and
helped her. After four iu the afternoon
tlio night drew on. Wo never could get
used to tho darkness. Tho day timo was
bad enough, hut tho night mado our suf¬
ferings maddening. Tho wind, when
the sea was black, would take the feel of
solid ice. Wo couldn’t see one another,
and that made talking a kind of foolish¬
ness; and so we never spoke—which
caused every one to feel himself a lonely
man upon tlio sea. Likewise tho noise
ot the water would sound stronger. In
tho daytime I took no notice, hut at
night I’d (hid myself listening to the
crying of tlio wind up in the dark, and
the hissing that roue all over the ocean
from the breaking of tho waves.
“I don’t know wlmt my mates did;
but that first night I never closed my
eyes, never tried to shut them, never
thought ot sleep. I saw (ho dawn come,
but tho linzo was too thick to lot tho
light show on tho horizon; it was over¬
head as well as an mud when tho morn¬

bis back against tho starboard side of
the boat, and thoro was a strange work¬
ing in his fingers, like the movement of
a woman’s hands opening a skein of
thread.
“Tlio captain said, ‘For God’s sake
look nronud, lads, and see if there ’h any¬
thing in sight.’
“The sea ran high, and mado it dan¬
gerous for any of ns to stand up, for fear
of capsizing the boat; so wo hung over
the gunwale, with our chins on a level
with it, and stored into tho driving
smother with all our might; but there
was nothing to boscen lmt the breaking
seas when we were hovo up, and the
water standing like walls on either hand
when wo dropped into tho troughs. All
at once Burke sat up, and began to sing
out for a drink of water, lie talked as
if he believed we had it and wouldn’t
give it, which was the first sign of his
insanity. Tho captain kindly, tried and to seeking pacify
him, speaking very
to oncer him.
“ *\Vo have outlived a day and a
night,’said he. ’Keep up your heart,
mate; we may have a thousand-ton ship
under us before if comes dark again.’
“But Burke kept on dying crying for it, water, and
saying pointing that his he throat; was and for falling

water washing about in tho bottom of

and he lay quiet. Boon after this I spied
something knocking about in the sen u
few fathoms astern, and called the skip¬
per’s attention to it. He said it was one
of some kegs of butter that lmd been
aboard the schooner, so wo pulled the
t */» r:s in and dropped We broke down to and it and
picked it up. it open ate
tlio butter in fistfuls, being brine, mad with
hunger; but it was as salt as and
the effect of it was to make our thirst
raging. The knife wo had used to opou

and Burke, on a sudden turning over
1 hold of it, jumped up, and fell

( b’lt the hoee was as thick as it had been
; all the time, and he threw himself down
I with bis hands over his face. Presently,
looking bury at the body he said: ‘We must
i him; but first, my lads, let us say
a prayer alf for hjm an d for ourselves:’
We knelt while the captain prayed,
and when he had done we lifted the body
and let it go overboard,
“The madness that thirst creates broke
out the body strong in Daly and Parsons when
was gone, and down they
the dropped as Burke had, and lapped up
salt-water in the bottom of the boat
them as dogs would. The captain implored
not to drink, but they never heeded
him or me, who likewise entreated them.
However, no harm seemed to come of it.
Well, sir, there’s no need for me to de¬
scribe that Wednesday nor our third
night in that open boat. Thursday
mvrning eume, making tho fourth day,
and to our joy th e weather cleared, tho
wind shifted and moderated, and the sea
went down. We got the oars in, rigged
up one as a mast, and two of us having
oil-skin coats on, wo joined them so as
to form a sail, made a yard of the other
our, and putting the boat before the
wind, which was blowing a light breeze
from the south’ard, headed, as the cap¬
tain judged, for the Irish coast. All the
(lay long we kept a wild lookout, as you
may reckon, for a passing ship, but
never once, not in tho farthest distance,
3i<l such an object heave in sight. We
might Pacific. have been sailing in the middle of
tlio Nature in us was almost
numbed. We had come to such a pass
that wo were too faint and exhausted to
feel tho craving of hunger and thirst.
At least I can speak for myself, and it’s
in that way I account for my suffering
l< ss at tho end than I did at the begin¬
ning of tho dreadful timo wo went
through. It was still cold, but nothing
like tho bitter cold of tho gale and the
heavy seas and squalls. We reckoned
by tile sun that tho wind hung stoady,
and wo let the boat slip before it; that
was all that could be done. If wo were
to sail at all we wore bound to keep the
breeze over our s tern, seeing there was
nothing secured to draw but a couple of oilskins
to the oar.
“But tiie coining on of Thursday
night was like tho bitterness of death
itself, sir—indeed it was. AH day long
wo had reckoned upon sighting some¬
thing before hoped, the and sun prayed, went: and Every believed hour
we lmd
would hoavo up some sort of vessel to
come to our rescue; aud, therefore,
when it drow up black, only a few stars
among brought tlio slow clouds, and wo were
face to face with another long
winter's night, my heart failed mo alto
gether; I felt that there was a curse
upon ns, and that wo wore doomed men,
singled cruel out deaths, to dio because of famine, the the longest. most
of
Think of ninety-six hours iu an open
boat, in January, in tho Cliopsa, the north¬ with
east gale blowing most ot time,
never a morsel of food except the salt
butter, aud no drink but tho Balt water
washing in the boat | And yet when
the Friday morning came we were still
alive, tho captain steering, doubled up
with faintness and tho oold, his knees
against his month, and his head lolling
for waut of strength in his neck; Daly
and I’arsous lying still as dead men
under tlio thwarts; and mo iu tho bows,
too weak and broken-hearted even to
east my eyos around the sea to notice if
there was a vessel in sight.
“Tho morning passed ; the afternoon
passed. Were we togo through another
night? Tlio gnu was within half an
hour of his setting when Parsons, who
was loaning his breast on tho gunwnlo,
stood upright and pointed. His mouth
was full of froth, aud as he tried to
l>eak , the foam flew out of , his . lips, but .
B
uo words ho spoke; it was naught but
a kind of death-rattle in his throat, l\o
all looked in the direction ho pointed to,
aud saw a largo sailing vessel heading
right down for us. How wo watched
her ! all of us standing up, never speak
iug, and only moving with tho roll and
toss of tho boat. It took her au hour to
approach us, and then she hovo us a
line; but her people had to sling us
aboavd. None of ub could move. Noth
itig but the excitement of seeing her had
allowed us to stand. Tho moment toe
lino was in tho boat and wo were along
side, wo all became as helpless as babies,
“The vessel’s name, sir ? Bho was au

Raised the Roof.— The Mayville Dis¬
patch gives this flood incident: “All
the distilleries were forced to close down
on account of the water, but they are
not much damaged, unless the material
and machinery inside are hurt. At one
of these a quantity of whisky in barrels
had been stored in the upper story of the
distillery. The water rose above it and
lifted the whisky, which lifted the roof.
The roof floated down street. Whisky
that is strong enough to lift the roof 08
the distillery, is supposed to be a pretty
good article, and this is the truest big
whisky story ever recorded.”

give mo nothing to cure me. During tho
past two years my sufferings at times were
dreadful, and I had tho most indescribable
pains in the regions about the kidneys, tho
paroxysms of which were so sovero as to
render it impossible for me to sleep. While
