Alexander Ynsilanti.


Alexander Ypsilantisate in Muncae's lofty tower,
And the ratified in the wind that stormy mid
night hour,
Der the troubled face of moon and stars black train
of clouds swept by,
And the reek prince sighed: ALAS that captive
here must lie !"
On the far-off south horizon sadly gazing see hin
stand
Were sleeping in thy dust now, my beloved Father
land W
And he flung the window open-'twas dreary scene
10 NeW-
Crows swarming in the lowlands round the cliff
the eagle flew
And the prince began to sigh again:-"Comes none
good news to tel
From the country of my fathers l"-and his heavy
lashes fell
Vast with tears, vast with slumber l-and his
head sank on his hand
See his face is growing brighter-rcams he of his ma
tive land IT,
So he satc and to the sleeper came slender armed
Who, with earnest gladness gazing on the sad one,
thus began
alexander Ypsanti cheer thy heart lift up thy head!
In the narrow rocky delc where my blood W. free
ly shed,
Where the ashes of three hundred patriot Spartans
found one grave,
Grecan Freedoms banners once again VIGOROUSLY
wave.
This CAD message to deliver was my spirit sent
thee;
Alexander " santi, Hellas holy land free !"
Then awoke the prince slumber, and in ccstacy
he cries;
'''Twas Leondas !" while tears of joy are streaming
from his eyes.
Hark above his head a rustlng-and a kingly eagle
flies
From the window and in moonlight speads his pin
ions to the skies.
THE BRAvEST MAN AT WATERLOO
A bequest similar to the jackson Gold
Snuf-Box" was once made i'll England
by Il gentleman, who left a sword, to be
given to the "bravest man at Waterloo"
1t was referred to the Duke of Yelling
ton to decide to whom the sword should
be given. The Duke would not say
who was the braeest where all were
brare, but said that the men who were
the most severely tried on that memoir
able day were those who defended the
position of the chateau Hougoumont, and
that inquiry should be made regarding
those who fought at that point. This
was done, and the award was finally
made to British sergeant, who, at a
critical moment, when the French had
unexpectedly forced open the gate of
the chateau and were about to enter,
rushed forward, and, by the exertion of
great personal strength and determina-
ton. succeeded alone in shutting the
gate in the face of the French troops,
and holding it till his comrades came to
his assistance.-Nec York Post
GLOOMY PRosPEcT.-The New York
Tt5une predicts that by the first or mid
die of next December, All least one hun
dred thousand persons in the city of New
York will be out Of employment and
nearly out Of means. The ship yards
in New York are nearly idle, the foun-
daries but half working, and the great
stores doing very little. 1t is
stated that women have recently come
to New York from places three hundred
miles away in quest of work from the
stores, only to be turned off
with none and compelled to beg their
way home again. The Tribune adds
that places have looked for servant girls
for stme time past; soon servant girls
will look earnestly for places, and be
very glad to find them. 1t is predicted
that soup houses for hungry laborers
who can find no labor will be wanted
before January. The Journal Of Com
merce is of opinion that hardly, since
1887, has SO gloomy prospect for win
ter lowered upon the laboring classes of
New ork.
