Prof H. w. LOngfellow reappears after long slenoe'
He gives us The Rhyme of Sir Christopher" opens
it with little portrait of the gallant knight;
1t was Sir Christopher Gardiner,
Knight of the Holy Sepulehre,
From Merry England over the sea,
Who stepped upon this continent

You should have seen him in the street
or the little Boston OF WinthroPs time,
Ills rapier dangling at his feet
DOublet and hose and boots compiete,
Prince Rupert hat with ostrich plume,
Gloves that eXhaled faint Perfume
Iuxuriant curls ana air sublime,
And superior manners now oOsOletel
uobod a courtlv way OF SAYING things, this bold Sir
Cbristopher and he lived just out Of town In what nc
called hs countryseat which, indeed was little more
than cabin logs, but in front OF whose door WAS
modest Gower-bed, thickly sown with sweet aIyssum
and coumbine which seemed TO indicate the presence
there Of some one with tastes more delicate than his
own, -
And frat IL was whispered, and then IL was knoWh'
That he in secret was harooriDg there

Whom he called his cousin, but whon nc Hau "od
In the Italian manner, as men sald;
And great the scandal everywhere
Then came the suspicion that he was only Papst IN

he had carelessly behind one Of these craved that
he might be sent home to amend, but the other de-

10 "send his warrant signed and sealed, and take the
body OF the knight" But when the marshal
reached Sir Christophers country seat nc
found neither knight nor warder, but only
The little lady with golden hair,
Who was gathering In the bright sunshine
The sweet alyssum ana cOlumOlne'
Sir Christopher being forewarned, had fed away to
the adjoining forests where he was amusing himself
shooting pigeons in company with the noble savage
OF course the marshal could MT be marshal for moth
inc-he must arrest somebody and as the knight had
ridden away had to be the little goldenhaired LADY
instead He bore her in triumph into the town, and
The governors heart was moved to see
SO fair a creature caught within
The snares Of Satan aud OF sin
And he read ner little hOmlY
on the folly and wickedness OF the lives
of women, half cousins and half wives;
But seeing that naught his words ayaied'
He sent her away IN ship that sailed
For Merry England over the sea,
10 the other two wives in the Old I'd e9 3uil
To search her further since he had failed
To come at the heart OF the mystery
Against this gubernatoral severity some one should
have protested No little hOwer-loving, gOlden-haired
woman could possibly be bad enough TO deserve 10 be

The Caiph ordered up his cook,
And, Sowing with "A fearful look

" Your HighuCss mnst intend joke;

But hauling IN our nris,-alack!
