6 HE CARETH What can it mean? Is It aught to htm That the nights are long and the days are dim? Can he be touched by the grief I bear, Which saddens the heart and whitens the hair? About hfc throne are eternal calms, And the strong glad music of happy psalms, And buss unruffled by any strife; Bow can he care for my little life? And yet I want him to care for me While 1 live in this world where sorrows-be! When the lights die down from the path I take. When strength is feeble and friends forsake. When love and music tbat once did bless Have left me to silence and loneliness, And my life song changes to sobbing prayers, Thau my heart cries out for a God who cares When shadows hang over the whole day long, And my spirit is bowed with shame aud wrong, When I am not good, and the deeper shade Of conscious sin makes my heart afraid. And this busy world has too much to do To stay in Us course to help me through, And I long for a Saviour—can it be That the God of the universe cares for me? O wonderful story of deathless love! Bach child is dear to that heart above. Be fights for me when I cannot fight, Be comforts me in the gloom of night. He lifts the burden, for he is strong; He stills the sigh and awakes the song; The sorrow that bows me down he bears. And loves and pardons because be cares! Let all who are sad take heart again, We are net alone in our hours of pain; Our Father stoops from his throne above, To soothe and quiet us with his love; He leaves us not when the storm is high. And we have safety, for he is nigh; Can it be trouble, which ho doth share? Oh I rest in peace, for the Lord will care. —SomerviUe Journal. THE MILO PILOT. In the month of March, 1842, I took tssage at Marseilles on board the mer- chant ship Good Hope. My own ship was at Smyrna, and thither the mer chantman was to carry me, she being bound there after part of a cargo of fruit. The captain of the Good Hope was named John Napton, and though he was a good and careful navigator he had one striking fault. He was very quick tempered and sometimes quite vindic tive. But for all this, Ms men liked him, for he never failed to grant them all the reasonable privileges in his power. The first mate's name was Sawyer, a true sailor and an excellent man. We had a smooth run until we had passed the southern capes of Greece and entered the archipelago, bnt here we had signs of bad weather. Capt. Napton had never been in these waters before and did not feel quite safe to trust himself among the lonian isles in a long storm, and we had reason to believe that snch a storm was coming. To be sure, the chart was explicit, but then those are wild tracks to travel in stormy nights. In pleasant weather the task is but slight, but it was very likely to be different now. Capt, Napton asked my advice. I told him there were plenty of experienced pilots at Milo, and that in all probability one of them could be hired to go to Smyrna and back for a mere trifle. As for the archipelago, though I had passed through it several times, I knew nothing about navigating it. The captain con ferred with his officers, and it was soon arranged that the ship should stop at Milo and take in a pilot. On the next morning Milo was in sight on the lar board bow, and having run in to the westward of the Pigeons we hove to off the coast and made a signal. In less than half an hour we were boarded by half a dozen rough looking fellows, ev ery one of whom professed to know all about navigating the archipelago. Among the number was an oldish man who gave his name as Marco Midas. He followed fishing for a livelihood, bnt his statements with regard to his qualifica tions as a pilot were by far the most sat isfactory of the lot. He offered to go to Smyrna and back with us for $25, and after some further consultation ho was engaged. Near noon we filled away. There was bat little wind, not more than enough to run off two or three knots, and even that was from the northward and east ward and as near dead ahead as pos sible, so the pilot concluded to make a "long leg" upon the starboard tack and pass to the leeward of Siphanto. It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the ship was again put about, it being intended to make a run to the eastward between Siphanto and Serpho. The breeze had freshened a little and the reel now ran off four knots. The northern point of Siphanto bore about five points on the lee bow, about ten miles distant. "I'm afraid we shall have to tack again," said the pilot, looking anxiously en the point of land under the lee bow. "We can certainly clear that cape on this tack," returned the captain. "But I'm afraid the ship won't hold up to her course," resumed the pilot. "She must certainly hold up to east by north to do it, for she makes consider able leeway." "Oh, I'll warrant her to do that," said the captain very confidently, and with the air of a man who does not like to hare his ship thought incapable of doing the right thing. So the pilot, feeling assured that thus far all would be right, went below to get his supper. He had been gone perhaps half an hour, when there was a sudden shock, and in a moment more the ship stood still. Marco Midas hastened upon deck, and was just in time to meet the captain at the companion way. "What does this mean?" cried Napton in an angry tone. The old pilot gazed for a moment upon the shore, which was yet some five miles distance, and then he calmly said: "It'syour own fault, captain." "My fault, yon lying lubber?" "Certainly it ia," calmly returned the pilot. "Take that, then!" and in the heat of his passion the captain struck the old man a blow that sent him staggering half way across the deck. Without waiting to see the effects of his hasty outburst, Napton sprang to the rail and ordered all the yards to be squared. The ship had struck upon a hard sandbar, but, as she was not going very fast at the time, and as the bar ap peared to be somewhat abrupt, sho was easily got off, and as soon as she had hacked clear of the danger, she was put upon the starboard tack, and stood off to the northward. The pilot had turned very pale, and though his frame shook with agitation, yet he made no movement toward the captain. We all knew that he was not to blame, for the ship had not been kept upon the course which the captain had promised, but the helmsman testified tk«t part of tiie time her head had been as far out of the way as east-half -south. THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 21, 1890. instead of east by north, and upon look ing at the chart we found that we most have struck on the extreme northern point of the bar. Yet Capt. Napton could not be made to see his error nor would he abate one whit of his wrath. He sent the old pilot below and told him not to show his face on deck again. Midas obeyed without a word, though we could see that his hands were clinch ed nervously together and could also hear the low grating of his teeth. Tho captain studied over his chart for some time, and at leugth made up his mind that he would p;:ss between the two Serphes, and then run up through the strait of Silota. Th i wind hauled a little to the southward and blow fresher. At dark the little island of Knlipoli wsa upon the larboard beam, but iv half an honr afterward the wind died away to a dead calm. This state of things lasted for about half an hour longer, and then the stars began to disappear from the southern heavens and the atmosphere began to grow dull and oppressive. "I smell a blow," said the mate, walk ing aft to where the captain aud myself stood. "I hope it may not be such a one as we had in the«Egiua gvtlf a year ago," said I, shuddering as my mind ran back to the gale I rode out in the old sloop-of- War Fairfield at that time. "This is a hard place for storms,'' said the captain half interrogatively, ;uid at the same time, as I thought, exhibiting a little trepidation. "Yon had better believe it," said I. "Hadn't we bett'*- call the pilot?" sug gested the mate. "No!" thundered Napton. Ere long the heavens were black as ink, save a little streak in the south, where it seemed as if a dull firo were moldering and dying. It was so dark that we could hardly distinguish the out lines of a man half the length of the ship. All haste was made to get the sail off, and the ship was soon left under a close reefed maintopsail, fore storm staysail and storm mizzen. Hardly had this been done when we heard a low, rumbling sound from the southward, accompanied at short intervals by a sort of hissing, screeching noise. In a few moments the gale burst upon ns. It came at first iv low puffs and spits of spray, and then the full armed monster leaped upon us. For a while the captain let the ship dash ou before it. He knew exactly where he was when ho started, but ho dared not run too long, and at length he brought the ship to on the larboard tack, with her head nearly west. At 10 o'clock the sea ran so high that the staysail and mizzen became of no use, and they were taken in, and the ship now lay to under nothing but the close reefed maintopsail. The ■wind howled through the rigging with fright ful power and the sea broke over tbe ship in drenching floods. The hatches were battened down fore and aft and life lines rove. At midnight the gale seemed to have increased, and the ship was surrounded by rustling mountains of white crested seas. The crew were all upon deck, and they held on upon the life lines without speaking. Sometimes the captain moved about the deck, and when he stood by the binnacle I could see that ho was pale and excited. For three hours the ship had now been lying to, and it was evi dent that she must have made consider able leeway. Beneath the fearful power of the driving gale she must have swept swiftly off —but how swiftly none could tell. There was no use in heaving the log, for the seas would "bring it home." At length—it was near 3 o'clock —the sea had risen to such a height that it threatened every moment to engulf the ship in its deep cold grave, bnt yet the strained and groaning craft stood nobly np. But could she stand so much longer? The men could see the face of the captain as the rays of the binnacle light fell upon it, and they must have noticed how pale it was. I will not at tempt to describe my own feelings. I only remember that I thought of my home in a far distant land, and that I wondered if I should ever see it again— if ever again I should hear the voices of those who had loved me in childhood. The mate left the spot where he had been standing and went to the wheel. "We can't stand this much longer," said he to the captain. But the captain made no reply, and soon the mate spoke again. "Is it best to trust our fate and put her before the wind? We shall certainly go down if we keep on in this way." "No, no," gasped the captain, seeming to force his words out; "to put her be fore it would be certain death, for we are locked in to leeward by a snug chain of islands. The topsail yet holds. We may stand it till daylight." "I am afraid not." "Then we must pray—that's all." It must have been some kind power that held our ship up through that long night, for the water mountains broke their fury upon her, and the mad wind bent her down till she almost groaned with physical pain. At length the first faint streak of the coming dawn appeared in the east, and yet the gale was unabated. The captain was just upon the point of leaving his stand by the wheel when there came a noise that spoke louder than the tempest. It was a rumbling, roaring, crashing noise that came to ns like the knell of death. All knew in a moment what it was. Our ship was upon a lee shore! The morning came, and it found us with blanched cheeks and trembling limbs, and it found some, too, upon their knees in prayer. What a scene burst upon us! Bight under our lee and not more than fivo miles distant was a rugged, rock bound coast. What power should save ns now? To wear ship would be of no use, and to tack was impossible unless we could make and carry sail enough to stand off. The captain staggered to the weather mizzen rigging and passed the order for loosing the foretopsail. The yard was pointed to tho wind, and the lee sheet was hauled safely home, but on the mo ment that the weather sheet was started the sail split and iv a few moments more it was in ribbons! "We are gone!" uttered the mate. And so it seemed! The men huddled aft, bnt not one of them knew what to do for safety. The ship would certainly feel none of her lower sails while on the wind, and the captain knew that the mizzen topsail wonld be of no use with out the fore. And every moment, too, the ship threatened to fall off into the trough of the sea. "Where are we?" asked the mate. But the captain could not tell. "Wo must call tho pilot." Napton looked up into the face of his mate, but this time he made no objec tions, and the pilot was accordingly sent for. The old man came up, and for a while he gazed upon tbe surf bathed coast in silence. There was a bitter smile upon his lips, and his eyes sparkled with a strange light. He at length asked for a glass, and the mate obtained one, and having adjusted the foens he hand ed it to him. "What coast is that?" asked Mr. Saw yer after the pilot had lowered the glass. "Andros," replied the old man. "And there is no salvation for ns now!" the mate gasped. "I can save the ship," calmly said Marco Midas without a change in his countenance. "You! —save us!" gasped the captain, starting up. "Yes." "But how?" "Never mind. I can save your ship and your lives!" The old man spoke calmly, but yet loud enough to be heard above the roar of tho tempest. "Then do it—do it, and you shall be rewarded." "Stop, sir! For a thing of your own doing you insulted me. You struck me! Had you been on shore yon should not have lived: but I can forget aud forgive it now. Go down on your knees, ac knowledge your error and you are safe." The captain hesitated. There was something in the old man's manner that told of truth, but the prond man was not yet bold enough to confess his fault. Nearer anil nearer surged the ship to ward the fearful rocks, and louder and louder came the roar of the convulsed breakers. "It will soon be too late!" spoke the pilot. "In heaven's name," gasped the mate, "stave us! Capt. Napton, yon did him wrong." The stout captain cajt one more look upon the fatal coast, then he ran his eye over the mad sea, and then he sank down upon his knees. "I did you wrong—l freely own it. Forgive me—and save us." "Then I am captain now," said the pilot, with a proud look and sparkling eye. "Yes." "Then man the main braces and lay the yards square—stop, sir, I know what lam doing. Put up your holm and let her go off before it. Stand by now to set the foresail." As soon as tho ship was got before the gale she rodo easier, and ere many min utes she was dashing down toward the coast at a dreadful rate. The sea fol lowed her rather closely until the fore sail was set, and then she leaped over the waves like a deer before a pack of hounds. The old pilot now took his stand by the wheel, and with a steady eye he watched the dubious way he was going. At length we saw an indentation in the coast lhat looked like a bay, and toward this the ship was leaping. Nearer and nearer we came, and at length the spray from the rocks actually dashed upon our deck. "Starboard braces!" spoke the pilot in quick, clear tones, aud the mate passed the order. "Brace up! Starboard your helm! Steady—so! Belay!" Like a frightened beast tho ship dashed into tho boiling surge, and as she obeyed her helm and came up to her new course we saw, through a narrow strait, the open sea beyond. We were between the islands of Andros and Tinos. In half an hour more we were in the open sea. Capt. Napton gave his hand to the Milo pilot, and again asked him to forget what had passed, and I know the old man was satisfied witb his noble revenge.—Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., in Yankee Blade. — I —— Sing Sins Prison at Night. As one rushes by Sing Sing in a Cen tral Hudson train a glance can be had of the main prison building. At night rows of lights can be seen, light* that illumine the long galleries upon which are the cells in which the convicts sleep, and the thought at once arises that the big building is alive with moving figures, keepers with loaded rifles guarding each gallery, on the alert for any outbreak. After 9 o'clock at night not a sound is heard. The "all right" bell is sounded at S:2O every night, the day keepers are replaced by a few night men, the con victs are locked in their cell", iron en trance doors take the place of the wood en ones during the day, and the prison is closed for the night. Even to the warden"s residence, where dinner is served at 6, the influence of the quiet of the prison extends, and about 0 o'clock every one is asleep or apparently so. With 1,539 people In that vast inclosure not a sound is heard except the tread of tho night guards or the plashing of the river against tho bulkheads.—New York World. By a Dreamer.
