CARMEN XXX, LIBER III, OF HORACE
(Translated.)
I've raised monument of fame,
Out lasting brass, and deeper based
Than pyramids, to bear my name,
Which therefrom shall not be effaced,
By all the energies combined
or furious storm, and raging wind;
Nor by the rush of endl less years,
As time along his destined course careers.
Though what of me is mortal, /.
To death by fate am doomed to give;
Yet all of me shall never die
Full many parts indeed shall live:
For till the Virgin mute, and Priest,
To climb the Capitol have ceased,
shall be crowned with verdant bays,
And long my name be fresh in future praise.
While Aufidus doth onward flow,
And Daunus rule the rustic race,
Shall |, whose name but few did know,
In fame still hold an honored place -
Shall be renowned as first to sing
Eolian song-its notes to bring, -
With skill which few shall e'er attain.
To measures Of my sweet Italian strain.
Me for these hopes, than life more dear,
Of fame. which thus my heart inspire,
Melpomene, propitious hear,
And grant me all my fond desire.
With thine own hand so skillful, now,
Around my thoughtful, anxious brow,
Consent the long-sought wreath to bind
OF laurels, falrest of the Delphc kind.

Old Stokes, after years of toll, got pos
session of a granite ledge. He was in the
habit of buying his powder with which he
quarried the ledge, of one Jonas Archibald,
who sold tape, groceries, and other varieties
in the village store.
Archibald was a good deal of boaster a.
bout his wares, and one evening, while a
crowd were sitting around the stove in the
tavern bar-room, he addressed Stokes with :
''Well, old Stokes, that's pretty good
powder of mine. paid a high price for it
down in Boston. I recommend that pow
der. How do you like it, Stokes?'
''Well,' % responded Stokes, slowly. "It's
pretty good powder; but came near losing
that last keg l bought"
''Ah," said Archibald, ''how's that p
That's unfortunate"
''Why, responded Stokes, 1.-The confoun-
ded keg got on fire, and l had to go about
thirty rods down to the brook before I could
put it OUT"
