j As summer daylight fades,

1A Captain and his sailors stand

| Bidding farewell to all on land,

Both mariners and maids.

The Captain has taken leave of all Upon the litile pier, /And turns where white-faced Gretchen stands, | With parted lips and clasped bands And blue eyes full of fear.

She says, ‘‘ thou shalt come back again, And I shall welcome thee ;

For I have prayed the God of Heaven, | Who unto us this boon hath given— If thou wilt pray with me.”

| The Captain laughs a laugh of scorn,

The maidea’s eye grows dim,

, **Oh, | have sailed the wildest sea,

_And weathered wind and storm,” cries he,

** Without the help of Hin.

| ‘And be there twenty Gods in Heaven I'll meet them on the main,

| I'll sail against them o’er the sea,

' And thou shalt come to welcome me,

When I sail back again.”

The Captain’s foot is on the deck,

The white sails woo the wind. | ‘Good luck, God’s blessing, and good bye,” The mariners and maidens ery—

And home is left behind.

Th little vessel takes her-way

Through wavelets, sunset stained that play About her sides, and break,

As wildly as a hunted hare Bounds o’er en unknown track, She flies the water. wastes along, Before the night wiods swift and strong, By Sambro bleak and black;

The blasts of tempest blow;

By mighty east winds she is driven,

Oa crested waves hurled up to heaven Then dowa to depths below;

By Margarie, and Tracadie, By bluff and treacherous beach, ; Then all across the misty main, That beats the isles of Madeleine, Nor any rest can reach.

The Captain stands still at the helm, And fierce his face to see, ‘*The God of Heaven revenge will wreak While I a refuge vainly seek !” But never a prayer says he,

| The lightning flashes in the sky,

It lumes the waves the while;

| The sailors shriek with lengthened breath

**Oh, save us, Saviour Christ, from death, From death on Deatlman’s Isle!”

IV.

The storm has ceased ; the morn appears Far o’er the eastern sea ;

And the golden orient seems to smile

At the ship lying under Deadman’s Iele, As safe as safe can be.

| The Captain laughs a laugh of scorn,

For the danger now is past;

| **Thougb five long days and nights I’ve striven

With the God they call of Earth and Heaven, I've conquered him at last.

‘* But my ship is shattered, its sails are rent, A mast is cleft in twain;

So ere I fish at the Labrador

I must go to Lunenburg once more And fit me out again.

“ Then L vill marry my white-faced love Who will come to welcome me ;

Vith a kiss I’l! kiss away her tears,

Before the election of 1878, you made some statements’ in your campaign issues, in regard to the present tariff. The farmers of this Pro-* vince have serious doubts as to the truth of your statements. I wish, therefore, Mr. Editor, you would review some. of the ‘‘Patriot’s’ editorials in the summer of 1878, in regard to the tax on flour, tea,. salt, sngar, &e., and see if our experience, of the present tariff will bear us out in accepting the statements of the * Patriot” in view of a general election.

Lightning Freaks.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF A WHOLR FAMILY AT LOCKUARTVILLE. =e

(Windsor, N. S., Mail.)

Thunder and lightning are very unusual at this season of the year On Sanday afternoon last, the sky clouded up, and there was every appearance of a thunder storm at hand, but it passed away as quiet- ly as it came, and the distant rumbling of thunder and a flash or two of lightning was all that was felt or seenin Windser. At Hanutsport the storm was more severe;. At Lockhartville, four miles from Hantsport, the honse of Mr. J. Henry Smith, ta well- to-do-farmer, was struck by iightning and eeversiy damayed. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. The family; consisting of Mr. Smith, his wife and five children, were assembled in the kitchen, which is an ell attached to the main house. The lightning or electrie fluid, which is described as a ball of fire, struck the chim- ney and shattered it from top to bottom, scattering the bricks and seot through every part of the house Some belek were driven with such force that they went clean through the partition. The noise of the explosion or concussion was something terrific, and the house and everything in it seemed a bieze of light. The stove pide was turn to pieces, but the drum was the only part of the stove injured. . The cur- rent seemed to have followed down and went through the stove, as a hole was burned in the floor large enough to let the leg fall through. A pair of woollen mittens, Which were on the fluor near the stove, were sitiged as if by a red hot poker. The whole e!! was swung away from the main building fally three feet, and the roof was lifted three feet from its place, The doors going into the main part of the house and the leasing out into the yard , were both burst from their fastenings and | hinges. Dish+s on the dresser were smash- ‘ed and danced merrily about. The meat singular thing is that all this could happen without injuring any of the family. Mr. Smith was lying on the lounge not over five inches under a window. The sash and whole window was burst out and csrriéd into the field, but very few panes of gia: were broken. Mrs. Smith and the rest of the family were comparatively uninjured, any more than bed'y frightened, but they all bear some slig!t inarks of being burnt. On the whole this is the most miraculons escape we ever heard of. The-e facts and more too, can be vouched for by many citizens of Hansport who visited the scene shortly after.

Landlordism Extraordinary.

The Cumberland papers print a singular story resp cting Sir Wilfrid Lawson and one of hw tenants. The hon. baronet’s steward reported that one of the farms had been recently re-let ou a ten years’ lease, at an increased rental of £30 per annum. Sir Wilfrid ingnired who was responsible for the improvement, and was told that it had been effected by the tenant, upon which he wrote out and sent to hime cheque for £809. Looked at in the light of encouragement to an enterprising tenant, the act reflects honour upon the worthy baronet, and we heartily wish that eve landlord in the kingdom had the will an tne means to act likewise. If this w done, Eng!and would have but littie troub over her land question.
