"Strike CP Yankee Doodle tB-Aneodots Of
Old fronzides.


The following Is we'll calculated TO make
The rising generation proud of the noble
spirits who shed so much lustre en- their
eountry's name during the memorable war
OF 1912 with the proud mistress Of the
seas.
The most brilliant naval action of the
last war was undoubtedly that of the old
American frigatc Constitution, forty-four
guns, commanded by Commodore Stewart.
when she captured the two British corvetts,
Cyane and Leyant, of greatly superior
force, each of them being equal to the old.
fashioned thirty-three gun frigates. The
handling Of the American frigate was
throughout scientific and unexceptiouable.
by no mau@uvring could either Of the
British vessels obtain position 10 rake
the Constitution, shift their ground as they
would. Old Ironsides was between then
blazing away upon both vessals ut the same
time. During the whole action Stewart
instead Of mounting the horse block, sat in.
a mere exposed situation, aslridc tho ham.
mock nettings, the better to observe the
man0uvring of his antagonists. The Cyane
was the FIRST to strike to Brother Jonathan
not an unusual thing with British vessels
during that war. The first lieutenant came
in haste to the Commodore, to announce
the fact.
"rhe staTboard ship has struck, sir" said
the officer.
Il know it sir replied the Commodore
"The battle is just half won"
'Shall | order the band to strike up Y an
kee Doodle, sir 2" inquired the Lieutenant
Here the Commander took huge pinct
of snuff, and then answered quickly -
Had VIC not better whip the other first
sir ?"
"Ay ay, sir" replied the Lieutenant,
taking the hint, and went to his quarters.
in short time afterward, the Levant
lowered the cross of Old Englad to the stars
and stripes, and the battle was ended The
Lieutenant, being somewhat rebuked at bis
premature eXultation upon the surrender OF
the first veSsal, was rather shy Of approach
ing his Commander again, but Steward
beckoning to him, said with smile
Don't you think the band had better
strike up Yankee Doodle now, sir 2"
In an instant that spirit-strring straiT
was floating on the breeze, playing as nc
other than a Yankee band can play il, and
the gallant crew shouted forth their cheers
of victory as no other than Yankee crew
can shout.

Morn, with her rosy HIS
Comes like bIushing bride to greet the earth /;
Shaking her dewey locks IN careless mirth
Holding sweet fellowship
With flowers. aud birds, and every living thing
Beneath the sky.
As il this world no pain or grief could bring
To dim the eye.
But sec how soon the night
Filings its dark mantle over all the land,
Shuts up the roses with its star-gemmed baud !;
And dims the glorious light
OF many gem, that 10 the mornng shine
With purest ray
And all the joy that blessed the sunny morn
Has passed away.
Spring. with its singing birds,
Comes from her cbambers 10 the balmy south,
Scattering sweet buds add flowers along her path ;
4 And the low sound is heard
or running brooks, aud children in their play,
The hum Of bees,
The wooing winds, that seem to be always
Kissing the trees.
moaning in the woods
Tells US that winter has begun its reign
The running brooks are bound with icy chains.
The Joyous singing birds
Flee Irom the presence Of the chilling blast
In hurrying crowds
Aud the blue sky Of spring is overcast
With angry clouds.
So it is with our life.
We raise some cup of JOY unto our lips,
Or hold with some kind friend sweet fellowship;
And we forget the strife
VI this dark world but all too soon
Do we awake,
The cup of joy wormwood becomes,
And friends forsake.

A LIoS's LOVE FOR BLACK TIeREss. -

In one compartment Of the cage in
which the animals perform at Van Am

tiger is smalI compared to the regal lion,
bat Is highly valued as a geological cariosi
ty, and the only specimen of the black tiger
ia this country. She was purchased by
Mr.. Van Amburgh some two years ago,
aud has lived with the lion ever since The
attchment between the two is something re-
markable. When other animals are in the
same cage, and any affroht is offered to the
little tiger, she runs under the belly Of the
lion, and woe be TO the animal that dare
approach her. No matter how hungry be
may be, the lion never touches his share Of
their daily meal until his little chum has So
lected her share, and even this he never en-.
tirely consumes until certain that she has
enough All the animals are as fat as
molcs but this black tiger is adetnanic in
her proportions, and no remedy exists for
the matter She has been twice removed
from the lion, but until she was returned
the generous beast would take neither food
nor rest, while the frantic mann,r in which
lie dashed at the bars was a sufficient warn
ing that the further detention Of tho tiger
would be dangerous matter. Should his
mate die, the lion would probably pine to
death. Once when she was taken away a
