HOPELESS.
A wan, gray mist on the harbor lies,
Like phantoms the ships glide by;
Spectral and dim their tall masts rise
’Gainst a sullen, leaden sky.
I stand-alone on this dreary shore; -
I know that now we must part;
And I hear above the breakers’ roar
The beat of my hopeless heart
I can hear the night wind as it rave*
And the storm abroad on its trask;
I can see the cruel, hungry waves—
The ship will never come back.
Through the driving rain with streaming eye
I watch as it sails from me.
Gone—o’er the harbor the pale mist lies;
There is nothing left but the sea.

The cashier was much astonished, but
he was informed that he was ° a forger J 3

The following statement speaks for itself:
‘•This certifies that I was, with my family,
a resident of New Orleans during the terrible
Yellow Fever epidemic which visited that
city in 1878. We were strangers there, and
unacclimated, but having previously used
