THE PHANTOM SHIP.
The anohor's weighed, tho harbor past,
Away ! away 1 the ship (lies fast.
The skipper’s wife is at his Bide,
In fear she scan- tho darkening tide.
“Fear not," quoth lie; “thou'rt safe with me,
Though tho Bond himself should sail the eeal'
And merrily ho ! tho breezes blow,
Over the eca tho ship doth go.
The sea grow black, Hie wind blew high;
“A ship 1 A ship!" the sailors cry;
Down sank the blood-red sun in flame,
Rut nearer still the vcssol came.
8he bad no sails, no oars, no orew
Rut nearer, nearer atill she flew.
Ono lone dark man on dock they see,
They can hear him laughing mockingly.
The akipper stooel with frozen stare,
His men were whito with wild despair;
Tlie tempest shrieked, tho sea wa< flame,
And nearer still tho strange ship came.
Down knelt tho skipper's wife and prayod.
“God of the sailors, Bond tisaid.”
Each stony sailor bent his kneet
"Save ns, O Lord 1 we cry to Thee I"
Hurrah 1 Hurrah 1 the spell is done I
The phantom ship is gone, ia gone!
The winds are fair, and fair the tide;
Tho skipper's wife is at his side.
He holds hor hand, bo cannot speak,
A tear rolls down ids rugged chock,
And merrily ho ! tho breezes blow,
Over the eta tho ship doth go.

Our First Difficulty.
Robert nnd I lmd been married eight
een mouths before we seriously disagreed
in anything. Our life during that time
had not been a season of perfect bliss as
some would have it, but we certainly
had been happy—os happy I think ns
any can before reaching Paradise, and
when our baby enme, it scorned as if oui
cup was full to overflowing. I like, even
now, to dwell on the joy of those dnyH
when 1 was first a mother, and as for
Robert, I think there never waa a proud
er or more affectionate father than bo.
“Well, Esther,'' be would say when he
came in at night, “wo are uot rich in
houses and lands as some are; but we
are rioli in onr daughter; sbo is like wis
dom, for she is more preoioua than
rubies.”
But I know that tho fond praise of
doting parents is Ijut emptiness to others,

ever; fro praise to my imagination
too great-for my little one, my Mpy-
hlosscm os 1 called her, for she came to
us in the merry month of May. Never,
we both agreed, was there a child hi
wonderful as ours, aud before the lilt],
Granger had been with us a month, w<
had laid many brilliant plans for hei
future.
But I am waudering from my story.
We were living in Kansas, for awu\
from both Robert’s relations nnd m\
own. We had not, therefore, as is gen
erally the ease, a host of aunts, uncle*
and cousins to urge that tho child should
be named according to their fancy. 8-
it come to pass that our lady was nearly
two months old before the subject line!
been debated. But ono day, how well j
remember it, Robert said, as he tossed
her in his arms for a final good-by lie
fore returning to the store, “Esther,
don’t you think it's about time thi*
maiden of ours had a namo of her own ?
Wilson was asking mo this morning
what wo had decided to call her, and I
told him I supposed wo thought her
good enough without a name, for we had
never spoken about it.”
“Mr. Wilson’s child was mimed before
he was a week old, so I don’t wonder
that he thinks us rather tardy,"
said I.
"Well, what shall it be, Esther?
Rosamond or Rachel? Bridget or Jo-
annaj^ Kate or Arabella? Or liavon’f
you thought of the matter ye t ?”
“Our child’s name was decided in my
own mind long ago,” I nnswered, and
then for some reason I cannot account
for, X hesitated, though I certainly had
no idea of what wus to follow.
“Well, let ushenrit. It is something
xtraordinary, I suppose; nothing less
would suit our darling.”
“It is Mary,” I said.
“Mary! surely you must be joking.
You can’t mean it, Esther 1”
“Why not?” I asked, the blood rush
ing to my face involuntarily.
“So you Lave a Byronic passifln for
the name of Mary. Well, f must ac
knowledge that I am entirely free from
t. But seriously, Esther, you cannot
think of calling our daughter by that
lame ?”
“But I do think of it,” I responded,
‘aud I cannot imagine wlmt objection
you. can have, for almost every one
igrees that there is no sweeter name."
My husband’s face grew dark.
“Any name but that, Esther; yon
might as well not name the child at all.
Hardly a family of any size in the coun-
rybut iias a Mary among its members.
But I can’t talk any longer now; I shall
be late os it is. Look in the directory,
uid find something else that suits you,
md tell mo at ten.”
And ho kissed both baby and we, and
waa (joue,
I can hardly tell you what my foaling*
were during tha long hottta of that af
ternoon. It ia true that my hnabaad
and I had differed before In ■altera of
taste or opinion, but it had beenoom-
paratively easy to yield them. My
child's name, however, wee a different
matter. I oould not remember the time
when I hid hot lookqg forward to call
my widest daughter by the name of
Maty, My doll-babiee, one and all, had
been,called by it It «w dear to me
alto* every other name—and now to
givetlt np—“Never, I cannot, and I
shall not I” I said firmly to myself.
Aw the tea-table that evening, wadis-
custad a variety of topiee, but both
availed, as if by common consent, the
ondtobjeet nearest onr hearts. When
the meal was over, however, and we sat
togffihcr near our little one’s cradle,
t oommonoed:
Esther, have yon found any
afternoon that plesaed you?
1’ve feen thinking the matter over, and
I've jpme to the oonolnsioa that Laura

But my mind waa made up, and I
would not listen.
“S , ia ia your daughter, as well as
mine; Robert,” I said, “and, of oourse,

ended^jdarinot tell, but fortunately for
both of us, it was interrupted by callers
who spent the evening with us, and for
the time being our dispute and ite^ause
were forgotten.
At breakfast tha next morning the
subject waa not once alluded to in even
the most remote way, and at noon and
in the evening it wss the same.
Another day came and went, and still
another, and yet not a word was said.
Oar table-talk was no longer the pleas
ant pastime it had once been, for wc
found it difficult to sustain a couvemi
‘ion on topics of minor interest, wi
the one subject which engrossed onr
hearts and minds was tabooed.
“Behold bow great a matter a little
fire kindleth 1”
As day after duy passed away, and the
week drew to a close, a heavy weight
sett)ad on my heart My husband ap
peared a different person to me. It
seemed to me that a great golf bad
come between as; even baby, who before
had been associated only with the
purest, deepest joy, seemed changed. 1
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; bnt it seemed to me
the 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 our pastor called. I
was so ill at ease that it was with diffi
culty that I sustained my part in the
conversation. I suppose he noticed my
agitation, for he inquired if I were well
as usual. For an instant I felt half in
clined to tell him all. It seemed as if it
would be a relief to open my heart to
some one; but a feeling of pride re
strained me.
Robert seemed unusually silent at din
ner, and I fancied he was looking pale
and ill. He kissed the baby, bnt did
not toss her in the air and play 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 I
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, hot it was a luxury
in which I had determined I would uot
indulge.
The time passed slowly away, ami 1
began to wonder why baby did not
wake. I went over to the oradle, He<
face was flashed, and I thought bci
breathing very unnatural. “What it
our darling should be ill?” I cried, ami
tlion with a chill at my heart, “ What ii
! God should take fr°w R* the eft use- of
our dtyfttta?"
At thftt thought ft gnat revulsion of
feeling erne over me, I knelt down by
my baby's cradle and wept unrestrain
edly.
“After all,’’ I thought, "Is it not nat
ural that Robert should not oare to have
his ohild given so common a namo ns
Mary ? And what right have I to decide
without consulting him what h^r name
should be? Oh, if he would only
oomet”
I took baby in my arms and went to
the window to look for him. Then I re
membered his paleface at dinner.
“If anything should happen I should
never forgive myself,’’ I said.
At last I heard his footsteps on flu
stairs; I laid baby down and just rushed
to meet him.
“Ob, Robert I” I cried, as I threw my
arms around his neck, “name her Laura
or anything you please, but do let ub
love etch other again.”
He kissed mo in silenoe, and thou
want into tho parlor. In an instant lie
earns oat, bringing with him my father's
wedding gift—a large family Bible.
He opened it, and taming to the

HOW TO PREVENT STRIKES.

A Washington dispatch says: The
present status of the strike of telegraph
operatore excites a good deal of interest
‘ ' it
country. It is
clima\ would raiaa more effectually
ever before the issue between capital
and labor, and that tho public would
finally have to interfere and prevent a
demoralisation of its commercial inter
ests by settling the questions at issue.
A prominent ex-offloer of the Govern
ment, who bos occupied a high posi
tion in the Administration and in poli
tics, said to yonr correspondent recent
ly that this issuo is one that will soonei
or later claim the attention of Congress,
The welfare of the country demanded
that the issues so frequently being raised
between capital and labor by combina
tions and strikes should be settled by
arbitration established and regulated by
law. He believed in labor having a gen
erous reward, but the endeavor to secure
this by strikes resulting in the suspen
sion of important commercial interests
and otherwise tending to demoralize tbc
country should be prevented by legisla
tion. The growth and oppressive meas
ures of monopolies were no lees to be
dreaded than labor combinations, which
are increasing and becoming more and
more powerful every year.
He favors the establishment by law of
a labor bureau in Washington to settle
all differences arising between employer
and employee. The laborer should ap
peal to this bureau, whose decisions
would create public sentiment and ex
ercise a sort of moral suasion upon cor
porations in granting just and reasonable
demands made upon them by their em
ployees. If this bureau had no legal
right to establish rates of compensation
to employees it would at least have a
wholesome moral effect in preventing
the numerous strikes, whose evils are so
diversified and widespread, The gen
tleman thinks that a bill providing for
the establishment of snoh a bureau will
very likely be introduced and pressed
next Congress.

“Gath,” in tba Cincinnati Enquirer,
gives tha following interview with one of
tha Imigration Commissioners in New
York city. “This matter of pauper em
igration from Europe to the United
States ia beooming a serious thing. In
the aggregate it entails a gnat deal at
expense on the American people,
through their location; and, besides, it
admits unknown and sinister vagabonds,
thieves and people who spread disease.
In Europe the United States is regarded
•a a short-sighted nation for being so
indifferent about the basis of its oitiaen-
ship being tainted by these degrading
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
ooats 160 franca, or $82, to sent tha same
man by rail to (he port of Havre and
thence to America. There ia a dear
saving, therefore, of one-half or more to
get the fellow off to Amerioa and have
Him out of the way.”
“Who ships him?”
“It is done by an emigration agent
having relations with one of the steam
ship tines; that is to say, not a steamship
agent exactly, bnt a man who has a com
mission for selling a ticket They make
about seventeen franca, or $8.60 foi

Advices from
burg, bring the details of a fc
system ot fraud whioh has just been
brought to light in connection with the
shipping trade. The straits of Karteh,
or Yenikale, are one of the most danger
ous passages of tha Black Sea, and of
late years the number of vessels wrecked
on the adjoining coasts had reached an
extraordinary aggregate. The English
insurance companies have paid indemni
fies amounting to many millions of
rubles.
Attention hzs, however, been drawn to
the foot that a great many of these dis
asters oocurred in calm weather, and
other suspicions circumstances are no
ticed, suoh os fortunes rapidly mads by
some of the pilots. Information was
sent to London that an individual namsd
Francesco, a former pilot, of Italian
origin, was the head of s band of pirates
of various nations—Englishmen, Italians,
Greeks and Russians—who made their
living by the disasters on the coast.
They were in collusion with the pilots
and charged huge sums for assisting tba
veasels whioh the pilots suffered to go
ashore.
In less than two years fifty veasels
were stranded and had recourse to the
assistance of these pinto salvors. An
English marine insurance company, on
learning these facts, sent one of its
agents to Odessa to lay the matter be
fore the authorities. A preliminary in
quiry has folly confirmed the suspicions
of the public, and it is said some govern
ment officials are compromised in the
matter.
Neal Dow tells or a Boston tragedy
that never came to the knowledge of the
polioe or the newspaper reporters until
he gave the information as part of a total
abstinence argument. A gentleman of
fortune and high sooial position was a
moderate drinker. He went home in a
state of great exaltation, and his little
boy ran to the door to greet him. The
father caught him up playfully, swing-
ing him about furiously, in bis semi-da-
lirium, and the little fellow s temple
into contact with the corner of a
marble table, killing him. The moths*
shrieked and fell to the floor, and tb*

he threw himself, and was soon ia a
