While Tom came down to welcome Lys ashore.

And Murphy met them with dOeful sOng:-
golden the harvest for our Golfers here;
But, great Ulysses, there is much to fear
That Polyphemns FentOn from his cave
Will steal our 1Ocks and Stay our bravest brave.
Full many threat beneath each angry scOfr is

"Him III attack" said grim Ulysses. ''Shall
Rube Fenton, with Old Horace for q pal,
Defy my pOwer?'
Tn attack was deity made
And Fenton's lambs soon felt the soldiers blade,
Thus knocking Fentons eye out on his forehead
And making him feel something of a sOrehead
But In the cave six officers were eaten,
And Tom and Ulysses came out feeling beaten.
The former found that 'gainst the jagged stones
knocking
Had badly torn his shoddy and his stocking.
Ulysses got mad; by fury led
With one fell slash he chopped or Murphy's head,
Made for the ship once more and put to sea
With black clouds from the weather to the lee.
THE CLOUD LIKE MANS HAND.
Loud to Ulysses foes did Fenton call
"Revengel revenge his tyranny must fall"
Soon round the ship from all points of the compass
The blust'ry papers raised a regular rumpus.
In vain Ulysses tried their mouths to gag
Mudgett had let the cat out Of the bag.
FISH PROFFERETH TO AMUsE THE CREW.
The wise Ulysses, troubled now ut heart,
| From all his messmates pOnd'rng sat apart,
| When Fish approached the downcast chief and
spake
| "ADother course the vessel SIR, must take;
Sumner and Schurz are babbng bout our record
Saying that 1t with many crimes Is checkered;
And when they asked the crew what would they
do,
They said that overheard u should be with yOu
At Treaty island all can disabuse 'em,
At any rate, know can amuse 'em"

Thither they steered with loss Of sundry spars
And shivered sails. The ever-grumblng tars
Kept wondering what was next to be their lot
When they espied near seated In grOt,
The treaty sorceress with old John Bull.
She loud complained that business was duh.
| But Fish jumped overheard and noundered out
| And put the gaping sailors out of doubt,
! For cunningly he soon began his games
| BY of ring Bull the Alabama claims.
| The DOW1ngS ana the antlCS OF the pair
Made central laughter everybOdy's share.
HE DINErH AND MAKETH A TREATY.
Ulysses charmed, attended by a score
OF hungry followers, now went ashore.
The sorceress got up her ncantations
| OF "Saxon peoples" peace" and kindred ma
tions,n
| And all around were smiling and salaaming,
| Followed by winning, dining, speeding, examining,
| Between each course, the crew could just detect
| Such sounds as "Heiislck 9' "No, sir; indirect"
| 'ApolOgy of course,n Roast beef ~ "Sir never
men shall
| Submit to pay one cent OF consequential"
| But who would IN the end come or the winners,
| Could meier be told by smelling at their dinners.

| Twelve months this lasted. All was going well.
The witch she kept the Diplomats Hotel
Said so, at least but just how long 'twoud live out
| 'Twere hard to say did not provisions give out.

| And. thank Jehovah, spoiled old Flsh's sport.
Then, finding there was nothing more to eat, he

The treaty went there, though to blind the nation
Fish passed the word, twas gone to arbitration.
YE LIBERAL STORM RIsETH
Now Joy was swelling in Ulysses breast
As Treaty island sank down in the West.
.Such triumph makes me quite regret to fee it,
TnO' as a victory folks refuse to see it,
On sped the ship still dangers logged her way;
The discomfort grew greater every day.
The willy Fish again to Ulysses spoke:-
"As we before the front OF growing broke,
BY foreign lodging; now we're on the main,
Iat tur tn I'm lv
But Spain, If poor was proud and wouldn't stand 1t.
"No power" she cried, shall treat me as bandit"
| And Fsh's bullying was countermanded.
| Onward, In darkness, staggered 'Lysses' bark,
| Storm-driv'n and creaking, when at midnight,

| The watchmen's cry OF breakers on the lec,"
AZ with strained eyes on either hand they see
The frowning Scyla rocks Of fritter'd trust,
The whirlpool gulf-Charybdis- disgust.

But yet she struck not and when broke the morn,
Ulysses to a newer life seemed born;
They sighted land and in a haven anchored.
Full soon Ulysses greedy hcnchmen hankered
After the fatted oxen on the plain.
They managed soon to slip ashore again,
In spite OF order and with ready knife,
On cows and hen roosts moved as II for life:
Commenced to slaughter then to cook and eat
The Sounern peoples little store OF meat.
For in the Trojan war they'd beggar'd been,
And hence the cow-thieves acted doubly mean.
Chickens they killed and eggs stole by the hundred
And next the Southron's very homesteads plum.
