,rbc King, of the soil.

Black sin may nestle below crest
And crime below a crown
As good hearts meath a fustian vest,
As under a silken gown.
Shall tales be told of The chiefs VIII sold
Their Sinews to crush and kill,
And never word be sung or heard
or the men who reap and till
/ bow in thanks 10 the sturdy throng
Who greet the yonng morn with toll;
And the burden give my earnest song
Shall be ihiS-TuE KINGS OF the SoIL!
Then sing for the kings who have no crown
But the blue sky DER their head
Never Sultan and Dey had such power as they,
To withhold or offer bread.
Proud ships may hold boh silver and gold,
The wealth off distant strand;
But ships would rot, and be valued not,
Were there none to ill the land.
The widest heath, and the widest brake,
Are rich as the richest fleet,
Forthey gladden. the wild birds when they wake,
And give them food 10 eat.
And, with willing hand,and spade and plough
The gladdening hour shall come,
When that which is called the wasteland now,
Shall ring with the sHarvest Home"
Then sing for the kings who have no crown
But the blue sky DER their head
Never Sultan or Dey had such power as they,
To withhold or offer bread.

BALLOON ASCENSION BY A DONKEY
Monsieur GODDARD went up from Philadel.
phia, on Wednesday, with jackass appen
ded to his balloon. On being lifted from the
ground by the balloon, the jackass tried
the old trick of planting his legs at an an.
gle of about fifty degrees, with hoofs ahead
Of his body, in the orthodox style of re.
sistiug jackasses; but that movement pro.
vin5n lamentable failure, be drew up bis
legs, as if to get them out of the way as
useless appendages. He then looked
sagcly around, first at the up,turned faces
of the crowd, then at the house-tops, and
finally all things else melting from view,
he turned his exclusive attention to the
inflated mass over his head. Jack was as.
tonisbed, if ever donkey was in this
world.
