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. —Edith Sessions Tapper. PITll AND POINT.

The cashier was much astonished, but he was informed that he was ° a forger J 3 aud 1 ,, that . the ,, stranger , was a Pinkerton , detective, and the best thing that could be done was for the cashier to go along withhim.

YELLOW FEVER. Prevention Belter Than Cure. 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 Ayer’s Ague Cure for malarial disorders, I fully believed it would prove a preventive of but I could not persuade my husband to use exemption from sickness at this time was considered miraculous, but I believe it was Ayer's Aguo Cure, and feel sure that we owe to this medicine tha fact that we survived the epidemic.’’-Mrs. L.
