Mr.. Swinburne has written a little
song which "Sweet Anne Page" sings
at the Gaiety theater, London, where
the Merry Wives of Windsor is the
play. This is the song:
Love laid his sleepless head
On thorny rose bed;
And liiseyes with tears were red,
And pale his lips es dead.
And fear, and sorrow, and scorn,
Kept watch by his heal fOrlOrn,
Till the night was overworn,
And the world was merry With morn.
And 10y came up with the day,
And kissed Loves lips as he lay;
And the watchers, ghostly and gray,
Fled from his pillow away,
And his eyes at the dawn grew bright
And his lips waxed ruddy as light
Sorrow may reign for night,
But day hall bring back delight.

On an Ice Floe.

The Baltimore San of the 29th ult., pub
fishes an interesting story from one of the
men escaped from the ice off the coast of
Newfoundland, and brought to that port
by the steamer Nuremberg. The party are
all Irishmen or of Irish descent, and CON-
prised of nearly the entire able-bodied male
population of st. Mary's, Newfoundland.
When returning to the shore ON the eve of
the day on which they boarded an ice
bound brig, they found the ice had parted
about g mile from shore, leaving space of
half mile of clear water. With night
came on a storm of rain and sleet, and
finally snow, incapacitating several of the
party. When morning dawned, seven
corpses were counted. A heavy mass of
ice, twenty feet square foated near, upon
which nine of the party got hoping that it
would drift toward the shore, and they
could thus save themselves, but when it
had foated 800 yards from the ice upon
which were their comrades, it grounded,
and the unfortunates remained upon it for
five days and nights, during which time
six of them died. All the food they had in
that time was a small white fish, which was
frozen in the ice. The IS men remaining,
after nine had foated of, made their way
back to the abandoned brig and expected
to die IN her, but some OF them had lost
their senses before reaching her. The
brig was wedged in the ice for week, in
sight Of land. The fishermen were ON her
ten days. The narrator says lie has fam
ily of six children, and some of those who
died have families equally large. The ten
men will be taken in charge BY the British
consul and furnished free fare to their
homes

A Postponed Burial.

The pall-bearers at funeral in North
Carolina, were lately relieved from the duty
in manner not anticipated. The funeral
occurred at the time of the recent flood, and
the procession on its way to the cemetery,
had to cross a small creek. In crossing the
creek, which was rising rapidly, the wagon
stuck fast, and those in charge of the coffin
were rescued with difficulty. No sooner
was the wagon bed relieved of the weight
of the ten bearers than new trouble oc-
CURED. The box of the wagon rose upon
the water and foated away, carrying the
coffin with it. In vain those in the process
sion attempted to recover the body. The
wagon box capsized and disappeared, but
the coffin Heated still, and, despite the ener-
getic efforts to secure it, was carried ayay
by the raging waters, and soon lost to sight
in the far distance. Naturally this little
occurrence prevented the consummation of
the funeral eeremonies,a body being one of
the first requisites for such an occasion.
Days afterward, when the flood had subsid-
ed, coffin was discovered upon pile of
drift wood, 30 miles from where the acci-
dent Of the funeral occurred! It proved to
be the one lost, and was, with its contents,
uninjared II any way; 50 that the ceremo-
MES were not prevented, only postponed.
L is doubtful, however. if burial exercises
were ever postponed IN Just such way be-
fore.

A Quaint Picture .of the Capital of
Maryland.


For a hundred and eighty years Annapo-
lis has been the capital of Maryland. Its
social glories are not SO much of the days
of the cavaliers as those Of powdered wigs,
knee breeches, and three-eornered hats,
when the gentlemen Of the province made
the little capital their winter residence, and
their wives and daughters ON festive occa-
sions exchanged stately greetings with the
assembled company in towering head-dres-
ses, lustrous satins, and rich brocades, or
trod a measure in the dance to the thum-
ming of the harpischords and the spinette.
We confess we have a liking for our quaint
little capital, with its streets radiating from
inner circles like the ribs of lady's fam
1t is our only remaining relic of colonial
times, with its great mansions and its
squat, low-browed houses that repose with
in their shadows. It is bit of the old
world transplanted to the banks Of the
Severn. It's prevailing aspect is that Of
decayed gentility. Its choicest annals are
"reminiscences told by the winter fireside, or
after tea, and before tables are set for
whist. A few ancient gentlewomen, proud
of their lineage, still make it their abiding
place, and live, as it were, ON the traditions
of the past. Their genealogical knowledge
is as minute as it is wonderful. It is
piquaHt, too, if you want to know "who's
who," where they came from, who they
sprang from, and whether the pot was
earthenware or porcelain, they can tell you,
and can describe with particularly of cir
cumstance the process of transformation

A Free Horse at Rest.


During the pioneer days of Ionia, Mich,
the town had an editor who was patient
and long suffering. Some of the members
of the church got him to give $40 toward
securing minister; then they wanted their
rc1f,io..- s:see :.s,ersss<1 e-a~, Aia-. ~ ..-,s
asked for $25 toward helping to build a
parsonage, and he finally found he was
giving the church more than he was his
family. lie nevertheless "hung on % for o
time longer, until one evening he went to
prayer-meeting and was asked to leave his
Office for week and go and help clear the
grounds for a camp meeting. That was
the last straw and he arose up and said:
Gentlemen, I'd like to go to heaven
with you. know you all. You are clever
and obliging. and kind and tender, and it
would be nice for us all, as congregation,
to go in together, but I've concluded to
leave you and dodge in along with some
body from Detroit, Lapeer or Grand Rap
ids It's money, money all the time, and
I've given this sschurch until, if my wife
should die, she'd have to goto heaven bare
footed.''
The congregation seemed to realize that
a free horse was being rode to death. They
let up on the editor and pacified him. He
even had special tent assigned at the
camp-meeting, aud all was well.

Martin Epsomhammer's Prayer.


''Will Brother Martin Epsomhammerle lead
us in prayer"'
The name in full was necessary for the
reason that the principal praying members
at the Bakers Grove church were EPSON
hammers, male and female, old and young,
rich and poor. Through the beseeching
cries that were now lifted from all parts of
the house, the clear strong tones Of Martin
Epsomhammer's voice arose like diapasons
from an organ, as emphasizing each brief
sentence by stroke of his clenched fist
upon the pew, he said:
80, Lord, we thank Thee for what Thou
art doing. Thou hast convarted many,
many souls-a. o Lord, eonvart more.
Convart a heap more-a. Convart all the
sinners in Owl Run-a. Convart the Pres
byterians. Convart the Cambellites-a.
Conyart everybody about Bakers Grove.
And then, Q Lord, start up Willow Creek
and clean the holla-a. Stop two weeks at
Henderson's still-house, and convart the
grinders and the bilers, the coopers and the
haulers, the sellers and the miserable
drinkers-a. And then, O Lord, go on up
the creek-a, and climb the hill to Reister-
town and convart the Bonds and the Riptons
who raise the barley-a. Amen-a.

Indian " Draw-Pokee." /"
From the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise.

cFOHl Ln6 fiIBluld lset.J EItSipTise,
A stalwart specimen of that race "who
see God in the clouds and hear Him in the
winds" struck" a gentleman of some
what benevolent aspect for a two-bit piece,
saying, Me heap hungry" ssThen why
do you loaf about here 9'' asked the gentle
man. "Why don't you go down to Pyra-
mid Lake, where you can find plenty of
ga,ne?' g Me find plenty of game up
here" said the warrior. You can !?
What kind of game, | should like to
know 9'' asked the gentleman. Me find
um plenty sebben-up-ee, plenty draw pokee
plenty :. That will do,'' said the
gentleman, here's your quarter. And In
dian who hunts game of that kind is sure to
be hungry" The child of the desert took
the proffered coin and grimly strobe away
without a word Of thanks. He went not in
the direction of those places where eatables
are sold, but laid his course for the nearest
lumber yard, where group of members of
his tribe, seated about an old horse blanket,
were manipulating the pictured papers of
the whiteman. There, placing himself up-
on his launches, he took deadly, deliberate
aim and fire one more shot at his favorite
drawpokee, but brought down no meat
As he sat sucking the end of his bead-deck-
ed scalp-iock and gazing wistfnlly about, it
was plain to BE- seen that he was still q

How to Put Down Mating.

AS the summer is approaching, and the
time of mating draws near, it may be we'll
to call the attention of house keepers to the
fact that, as there is right way of doing
everything, there is decidedly right way
to put down Canton mating. 1t is the al
most universal practice to put it down
wrong. Most persons cut the lengths, and
then, laying the breadths in their proper
places, proceed to drive vast number of
tacks up and down the edges. This meth
cd serves the purpose of keeping the cover
ing very tightly on the floor, but it Injuries
the boards and ruins the mating. Every
tack breaks one straw, and perhaps more.
These Canton mattings are made on
boats, where they are woven inshort pieces
about two yards long. These short pieces
are afterwards Joined together on the shore
in lengths of about forty yards. It is easy
to see where these two-yard pieces are
Joined, and the first thing to be done, after
the mating is cut into the proper lengths,
is to sew these places across and across on
the wrong side to keep the Joints from
opening. Then sew the breadths together.
and tack it to the floor in the same way
that you treat carpet. Mattings made in
this way will last fully twice as long as
where they are tackled every breadth.
A good mating should last six or seven
years. Home and Society, Scrs6ner for
Apris.
