gaped sea opened to re ceivo the palaces of licentiousness and closed tlicm and luckless mortals- Today when waters of the bay are still and shinning in the tiopicnl sun the sailors may lean over sides of their and down through the azure depths see swimming in and out of the arches of the old cathedral the sharks moving lazily among the great palaces the sea moss twining around the windows through which the music and song of the revelers were drifting when fearful visitation came and wiped tho city from face of the earth More thorn years have passed since that June day when Port disappeared into the sea Three other cities built upon its site have been by lire and hurricane and earthquake The evening power which descended upon the stricken city seemed to pursue it even after its thousands had found watery graves in the bay which now shimmers so placid ly except when tho fearful tpyhoons sweep over it and lash its waters to mud revels It was Juno Port lay sweltering under the heat of a tropica summer Building upon a land extended into the ocean it was swept by breezes which brought with them little relief from the direct rays of sun The harbor was fill ed with shipping from every part of the world for Port Royal was a place of wealth and luxury Great menofwar lay in the oiling with their sails furled and their men reveled ashore in the city Spanish buccan eers laden to the guards with stolen wealth silks jewels and gold the spoils of Mexico and Central America swung at anchor and their darkbrow ed slept or lounged lazily about the docks while their masters joined the festivities ashore In the houses and palaces of the city there wore reveliy and feasting and drinking for the pirates of the Spanish main spent freely what they secured so easily Gold was as common as copper is to day The toddlers in the streets when they held our baby hands for alms to the passersby were rewarded with a gold piece or two Women attired in silks and laces which cost human blood in the making and the stealing lounged on luxurious divans close to tho open windows of the houses and drank deep with their paramours License ran riot- There was no virtue For years every one in tho place had been grow ing richer and with the wealth came the desire for esse and pleasure which saps a peoples strength No one worked for money was brought to everyone on the pirate ships which roamed the seas only to capture a cargo to purchase a few weeks of pleasure and feasting and drunkenness at Port Royal From Peru and Mexico came boatloads of gold silken stuffs and other treasure and with tho arrival of every pirate the revels redoubled in license and depravity The people lounged to church but it was only a mockery of worship They vt re drunk with their prosperity and in sane with their longing for the pleasure of the table and the wine cup On that fated day when the ven- which overtook Sodom and Go morrah descended upon Port Royal tho revelry was at its height when there came a sound like the great crack of doom the earth trembled and halfdrunken revelers rushed from the houses in dismay The great cathed ral rocked and its tower trembled a moment and while the people were asking one another white lipped and terrified what manner of thing was happening the earth gasped open like a mighty jaw and closed with thousands in its maw catching many half way in the frightful opening and if holding crushed and broken with their arms extended toward the heaven they had so long forgotten had this occurred when with a mighty roar the whole city began to slide into the ocean In vain affrighted people began to flee to the high land beyond tho city They were caught and engulfed before they had taken a score of steps Hundreds were overtaken by the ris ing flood as they sat at the tables with their wine half drunk their food half eaten their thoughts half spoken Praying screaming and blaspheming the power which had visited its wrath upon them the people were hurled in to the ocean in the very houses in which they sat The ships in the har bor careened and sunk one by one as the great disturbance contin ued drawing down in their wake the tenorstricken sailors and buccaneers who sprang overbroad and in less than five minutes all the wickedness and all tho sin of the city were forever beneath waves Not long after this frightful disaster came another upon the city which took the place of the winch slip ped into the sea Port Royal was not with its old splendor and magnificence not with its former glory and luxuriousness but a sea port city and In 1 a few years after it had assumed the proportions of a city it was entirely destroyed by fire Again it was built up but the a venlng jxwcr was not yet sated for a hurricane swept the portion of the town into the ocean in Almost years later when the city had once more risen up its old site it was laid in ashes once more in 1815 Repeated destructions have left noth ing of the city as it once was but in 1880 a hurricane destructive to life and property swept over the city and once more partially destroyed it Kingston now stands close to where Port Royal the old town of revelry and vice once stood The ships in the harbor float over the houses which slipped into sea and far far below their keels lie the imprisoned people who were swept away with vain pray ers for mercy upon their lips The spire of the cathedral is the most prominent of the ruins in the clear water as it had raised its taper finger toward heaven high above the other buildings Close to it lie the fleets of Spain and England sunk in the fear ful hurricane which swept these placid waters with the coral fast forming on their masts and hulls In their sha dow lurk tho sea monsters of these waters playing about the doorways and casements of the houses and shops where vice once held sway No man has ever penetrated to the depths where the phantom city now lies to explore its secrets two centuries old and all that can be learned of the sunken town is gleaned by peering in to the transparent waters on ft bright day when the wind does ruffle the surface of the harbor REV One of the Most Prominent Temperance Workers in

first time by her oldest son She gave him that morn ing a little manuscript book contain ing texts and verses of hymns which she had copied for him hoping as she said afterward that they might help him to keep closer to the Cross After his death as she was stooping over him lo lay some dowers on his breast she saw upon a little table close to his bedside the book tearing of long and constant use The princess told this fact to Canon Fleming adding with the tears stream ing from her eyes I could not but feel that Eddy had clung to the Cross The woman who in her grief told the story of her dead boy because she knew that all other mothers would be glad with her is the daughter the wife the mother of kings and princes Yet the little worn book which gave a hope that Eddy had turned to the Cross is of more value to hor now that that proudest of earthly crowns which he lost in dying The boy who is a prince in a foreign court or the boy who is in a school or shop or in any town may believe that power money prizes of one sort or another are the only things to think of and work for and his mother may- spend her life in try ing to gain these things for mm but when the boy in the midst of his fun suddenly feels deaths hand upon him it only his soul and his fate that he of And his mother be she or slave when she stands over the dead body of her boy would give all rank or wealth or success which she had hoped to see his for one word to tell her that he had clung to Cross Youth Companion have been Miss Nellie Ross who has been A cow belonging to Mr John visiting her sister Mrs Charles
