There is living in this city man quite
as remarkable for his muscular powers as
was he who in Olden times bore off on his
shoulders the gates of GAIA. When a
youth he was wont to shoulder a barrel
of flour with his feet inside a peck meas
nre. On one occasion on Stevens wharf,
as the result of banter that he could not
shoulder an anchor weighing $50 pounds,
he raised It to his shoulders, carried it up
Bannister's wharf, up four steps into the
United States Hotel (west door,, carried
it through, down one step, out of the south
door. down the wharf back again, and de-
nosited It on the scales for weighing. The
distance he carried it must have been
from 300 to 400 yards. The feat was con-
sidered so remarkable that it was placed
upon the town records where it may be
seen nv any who may be incredulous.
On another occasion halt dozen men
were t1orinp at hogshead of molasses
living on its bilge, endeavoring to place it
on end when he ordered them aside and
ended It I'D alone. Though now fifty
seven wears old. he is ready at any time
on a WAGER TO lift to his shoulder a barrel
of f1our The same man Che is an out-and-
ont tnetotaIer now has been known to
stand at the bar of the old Park House
and drink thirty-twO glasses of liquor
without turning round. On one occasion
he savs that he and another man, making
"a NIGHT of it.p sat down to half a barerl
of beer and drank it all up before morn
ing. Yet no person ever saw this man in
the c11tter. or even stagger from the effects
of his potations. 1t was his boast in his
Younger DAYS that he could out-lift and
ont-drink any man in Rhode Island

THE WINDS.

The South wiad sings Of happy springs.
And summers fastening on their way;
The south wind smells of cowslip bells,
And blossom -spangied meads of May;
But sweeGer is her red, red mouth
Than Gil the kisses of the South.
The West wind breathes of russell heaths.
And yellow pride of woods grown old;
The West wind flies from autumn skies,
And su..-cl0uds overlaid with geld;
But the golden locks | love the best
Outshine the glories of the West
The Nerth winds sweep from crystal deep
And Arctic halls of endless night;
The North WiBd blows DER drifted SHOWS,
And mountains robed in virgin white;
But purer far her malden's soul
Than all the SHOWS that shroHd the pole.
The East wind sIrills DER desert hills
And dreary coasts of barren sand;
The East wind means of -blancbed bon e.
And ships that sink in sight of land;
But the cold, cold East may rave and moa n,
For her soft warm heart Is Z il my own.
