WHEN MY SHIP COMES IN. Away in the sea, oh, [ wonder where Somewhere, somewhere in the wators blue, Where the winds are soft fair, In a mystic country no man ever knew, My ship rides safe in a dreamy cali; Perhaps by an isle where the lotus grows, Perhaps by an isle of the spreading palm, Perhaps who knows? But her eargo is safe whoere'er she be, And ber crow will tire of the lazy life, and the skies are son Soma day, I know, Like a gleaming koife, But, oh, as 1 pationtly sit and wait, It soems so long to ma, so long Sha lingers outside the harbor gate, And her sailors list to the mermaids song, Rut ships come in, and I'll yet see her in time that is long or time that ix short; Although, forsooth, she seems to prefer The sunny isles to the grimy port. {Carl Smith, in Harper's Weekly, SPIRITED AWAY.

The opening was large enough, and from it a good-sized passage wound downward a distance of ten feet to the cave, which was about a rod long and shaped like a ight-angled triangle. The adventurers satisfied themselves by a cautions ex- ploration that the robbers were not in the eavity. A little later, while, torch in hand, they were examining the bottom | of the hollow, they discovered a square section of the lava floor which slightly separated from the surrounding lava, The excited men pounded on the «lab of Java until they broke it sufficient ly to enable them to grasp the picces and remove them. A deep hole was re vealed, except where narrow shelves ex tending on four sides had served to sup- port the edges of the block. It was probable that the party was at the en. trance of the hiding place of the robbers, at the mouth of a second cave lying be. | neath the one they were in. The suppo sition was that one of the robbers had accidentally broken through the floor of the first cave at a point where it was thin, and had thus discovered the en france to the second cavern, It was further surmised that in order to keep their valuable discovery a secret the out. jaws had immediately cut a block of lava from the extensive beds outside of the cave and had fitted it above the hole in the manner already described, MacDonald determined to make th descent of the shelving sides of the hole He argued that the robbers were un~ doubtedly asleep at that hour, and that the chance of coming ppon them before reaching the main cave was small, Bee. ing that they could not dissuade him, and admiring his boldness, the young men discontinued their objections; and after they did assured him that they would defend him should he come forth pursued, and would revenge his death should he be killed, they bade him god. speed as he entered the cavity, [Ie was armed with a long hunting knife and o brace of pistols, and carried in his hand n dark lantern, Closing the slide of the lantern so as to conceal the light, he crept in darkness down the .
