Beth Gelert.
By W. R. SPENCER.


The spearmen heard the bugle sound.
And cheerly smiled the morn;
And many orach, and many hound,
Ooeyed Llewelyn's horn.
And still he blew a louder blast,
And gave lustier cheer
Come, Gelert, come. wert never last
Llewelyn's horn TO hear
o, where doth faithful Gelert roam,
The flower OF all his racei
So true, so brave-a lamb at home,
A lion In the chaser"
Twas only at Llewelyn's board
The faithful Gelert FED;
He watched, he served, he cheered his lord,
And sentinelled his bed.
In sooth, he was a peerless hound
The gift OF Royal john
But now no Gelert could be fonnd,
And all the chase rode on.
And now, as o'er the rocks and dells
The gallant chidings rise,
All snowden's craggy chaos yells
The many-mingled cries!
That day LlewelyD little loved
The chase of hart and hare;
And scant and small the booty proved,
For Gelert was not there.
UnPleased, Llewelyn homeward hied.
When. near the portal seat,
His truant Gelert he espied,
Bounding his lord to greet.
But, when he gained his castle door,
Aghast the chieftain stood:
The hound all DER was snleared with gore;
His lips, his fangs, ran blood.
Llewelyn gazed with fierce SURPRISE
Unused such looks TO meet,
His favorite checked his joyful gulse,
And crouched and licked his feet.
Onward, I'm haste, Llewelyn passed,
And on went Gelert too:
And still, whereer his eyes he cast,
Fresh blood-gouts shocked his view.
o'erturned, his infants bed he found,
With blood-stained covert rent;
And all around the walls and ground
With recent blood besprent.
He called his chIld-no voice replied
He searched, with terror wild;
Blood, blood he found ON every side,
Bot nowhere found his child.
"Hell-hound! my child's by thee devoured, -
The frantic father cried;-
And to the hilt his yengeful sword
He plunged In Gelerts side.
His suppiiant looks, as prone he fell,
No pity could impart;
But still his Gelerts dying yell
Passed heavy DER his heart
Aroused by Gelert's dying yell,
Some slumberer wakened nigh;
What words the parent Joy could tell
To hear his infants cry.
Concealed beneath a tumbled heap
His hurried search had missed,
All glowing from his rosy sleep,
His cherub boy he kissed.
Nor seattle had he, nor harm nor dread;
But, the same couch beneath,
Lay n gaunt wolf, all torn and dead -
Tremendous still In death.
All, what was then Llewelyn's paint
For now the truth was clear;
His gallant hound the wolf had slain
To save Llewelyn's heir.
Vain, vain was all Llewelyn's woe;
BEST of thy kind, adieu!
The frantic blow which laid thee low
This heart shall ever rue"
And now a gallant tomb they raise,
With costly sculpture decked;
And marbles storied with his praise
Poor Gelert's bones protect.
There never could the spearman pass,
Or forester, unmoved;
There of the tear besprinkled grass
Llewelyn's sorrow proved.
And there he hung his horn and spear,
And there, as evening fell,
In fancy n ear he Oft would hear
Poor Gelert's dying yell.
And, till great Snowden's rocks grow old
And cease the storm to brave,
The consecrated spot shall hold
The name OF Gelert's grave.

Taking the Hat Around.

A correspondent writes the following
interesting story from Paris, which is
too good not to be true: Some time ago
there was in London for the season O
lady who is very well known in the
French fashionable world. One day
she happened to see in the streets q
monkey begging pence from the public
in the prettiest manner for the benefit
of his master, an organ grinder. The
marquise took fancy to it., bought it,
dressed it in the gaudiest raiment, and
made it a pet. The lady the other day
had in Paris fashionable reception for
the benefit of the Lnondes, and, of
course, her pet was the wonder of the
room.
In the course of the evening young
lady sat down to the piano, and, ac-
companying herself, sang with exquisite
taste little drawing room song.
AS soon as the lady had finished, the
monkey, who, though now partially
civilized, had not forgotten his former
duties, seized hat, and holding it be-
fore each guest, according to his Gus
tom, commenced collection. The vo-
calist laughed, the marquise looked vex-
ed, but, to the amusement of everybody,
the animal went the rounds and collect
ed large sum.
His task ended, he jumped upon the
knee of the singer, and, amid shouts of
laughter, deposited the contents of his
hat in her lap. The collection was, OF
course, devoted to tho charitable fund,
but Bibo made distinct hit, and mon
keys are just now in strong request in
fashionable society.

Making Love to Black Hawk.

After the Black Hawk war and the
settlement of affairs with the Indians,
the chief and his eldest son, known as
young Black Hawk, visited the East and
were the recipients of many ovations.
In New York city the young Hawk be-
came a great favorite and of him the
following incident is recorded. A
gushing young lady, of the merchant
prince circles" moved by some irresis-
table impulse, rushed forward and gave
the young chief kiss that echoed to
tho ceiling. go La mel" she then ex-
claimed, in fright, "what haven't I
donel I've kissed an Injin" Young
Hawk mistook this for complimentary
address, and, throwing himself into
graceful attitude, he replied as follows :
"Wakau waukeeheen muskekie Chez
neremoneen jeckwassin. Ne weenin
PIN missin mittawinin powlangon-
weepewen wigwaum-Otah mackawlan
centee mo pootah esktike-Negush
mech slime beyah tango-Heyah wash
ton |"
The translation of it is this
Fair little witch % handing her his
headdress "you shall be my sweet
squaw !" giving her his blanket. "You
shall go to the woods and hang on the
kettle" giving her his moccasins. "You
shall sleep in my wigwum," and finally
unbuckling his waist belt" and tend
the papoose. Heyah she's gonel"
eyes; at this last evidence of Indian
prodigality, the young lady hastily dis
appeared.

An Old Maids Opinion.

If it doesn't make me laugh, and I
can't help it, to hear married people pity
old maids, never thinking for one mo-
ment how an old maid might pity the
married.
Oh, no!
Poor soul, she hasn't any husband
Poor dear, she hasn't any childrenl
It's so very, very sad.
Of course it is, POLITICALLY speaking,
but don't you ever pity woman for not
marrying until you are quite sure what
sort of man she hasn't married.
I've known broken engagement or
two that really were subjects of con-
graduation.
There isn't any other time when a
woman feels so like feeling of her shoul-
der blades, to see whether the wings
have sprouted, as when she has slipped
the wrong mans ring off her finger, and
feels that she'll never bear the brunt of
his hateful temper, or put up with his
neglect, or grow old before her time be-
cause of his unfaithfulness, when she
stands free again and ready for the right
man to come along.
suppose WOuldn never IeelS quite
certain that the right man won't come
in all her life.
However, we're talking of old maids
and the people who pity them.
1t is all very well to get poetical over
married life and set single women down
as miserable creatures, but like most
theories, the "thing won't wash.",
If you get an adoring husband, ready
to cherish and protect you while life
lasts, you're certainly happy woman
but how many doS One out of fifty,
perhaps.
It's lottery with few lucky numbers,
and even an old maid doesn't bitterly
envy woman with mean or a quarrel
some or neglectful husband-a woman
who is left alone with all her ceres, q
woman who is slave, not wife-nor
even always all that falls to the lot of
the best loved wife on earth.
There is peace and rest in life when
one is ones own mistress, at all events;
when 1 hear worn out, worried matrons
pity ing single women 1 often feel like
laug hing, it is SO funny.

The Good Old Time.

In 1929 Caleb Atwater was sent to ar
range a treaty with the Indians at
Paririe du Chien, Wis. He took his
work to Washington, where it was acted
upon by the Senate, approved, and Mr..
Atwater being off duty, attended the
first levee of Old Hickory, which oc.
CURED January 10, 1880, at eight o'clock
P. NJ, in the Ground room." Here is
The description of Mr.. Atwater
Commodore Rogers was there,
dressed as plainly as any simple citizen,
easy in his manner, and unassuming.
The lieutenants and midshipmen made
all the display they could. In the same
way the officers of the army appeared
The secretary of war and his family
were dressed in the neatest but plainest
manner. The secretary's lady, whose
person is symmetry itself, neither need
ed nor wore anything but plain Ameri-
can calico for dress, without ruffle or
single ornament on her person. Her
appearance bespoke q reliance on her
native beauty and her accomplishments,
nor was her reliance misplaced. No
sooner had she taken her place, near the
Presidents family, than all the beauty
and fashion in the room gathered around
her. The gentlemen were all dressed
alike, but our Western ladies unani-
mously dressed in plain American cali
co, without an ornament. The sim
plicity of their dress, their unaffected
manners, their neatness, their ease,
grace, and dignity, carried all before
them like an electric shot. The dia-
monds sparkled in vain at that levee,
and Western unadorned neatness, mod
esty, and beauty bore off the palm.
Our Western ladies had felt some un-
easiness before the levee about the
result, but their friends assured them
correctly enough that republican sim
plicity would triumph over all crosses
and diamonds"

A "Reminiscences of Edwin Forrest,

A Washington correspondent of the
Syracuse IN. Y.) Courier, speaking of
several attempts which were made some
years ago by Mr.. Clark Mills, the sculp-
tor, to cast an equestrian statue of Gen
eral Jackson, tells the following story of
Edwin Forrest as it was related by Mr..
Mills:
The great tragedian, who was then
playing in Washington, expressed to
Mr.. Mills desire to witness the process
of casting. Mr.. Mills said: every
well, I'll let you know, Mr.. Forrest,
when the metal gets melted next time,
in season to come over and see it let into
the mold" So at the proper time Mills
stepped over to Forests room at Will
lard's and told him all was ready. Sew
eral visitors being present, Mr.. Forrest
asked the privilege of taking them along
with him, and Mr.. Mills, of course, as
sented. The party, mostly ladies, were
stationed on q sort of platform from
which they could look down into the pit
where the mold was. The gates were
lifted and the molten stream flowed in.
Suddenly there came loud report, as
of an explosion below. The ladies
shrieked and ran away, and even Mr..
Mills lodged intuitively behind the
crane. In the midst of all the commo-
tion Forrest was seen standing serenely
in his place as if nothing had happened.
" What are you all running fors" asked
Forrest, looking around at the skedad-
dlers. &C. reckon you would run, too,
Mr.. Forrest, if you knew the danger you
were in, cried Mr.. Mills from his re-
treat. Didn't you hear the explo-
sion2" "I heard the noise" replied
Forrest, "but supposed that was part
of the playl" He had not dreamed of
danger, but, had the explosion been
sideways instead of upward, it might
have been the most real tragedy in
which Forrest had ever acted.

Love Making.

'Tis dear little hand,
Half assisting
My efforts to kiss it again,
That at the last moment
whew makes my ear tingle with pain
'Tis lovely blue eye,
Half asserting
When ask for kiss ere go;
And ripe, pouting lips,
Not dissenting,
Tempt me on to kiss and blow.
But that dear little hand,
Loving, coaxes;
Those velvety lips pout full of bliss
And soon find the blows
Are but hoaxes-
Little stings ITO add zest to the kiss"

Home Coming.

When brothers leave the old hearthstone
And go, each one a separate way,
We think, as we go on alone
Along our pathway, day by day,
or olden scenes and faces dear
OF voices that we miss 80 much,
And memory brings the absent near,
Until we almost feel the touch
OF loving hands, and hear, once more,
The dear old voices ringing out,
Az in the happy time Of yore,
Ere life had caught share Of doubt.
II you should place against your ear
The shell you plundered from the sea,
Down in its hidden heart you'd hear
A low and tender melody,
A murmur Of the restless tide,
A yearning, born Of memory,
And, though it's longings be denied,
The shell keeps singing Of the sea.
And sometimes when old memories throng,
Like ghosts, the chambers Of our soul,
We feel the yearning, deep and strong,
A longing we cannot control,
To lay our cares and business by
To seek the old, familiar ways,
And cross homes threshold, and sit down
With comrades of our earlier days.
For though our paths are sundered wide,
We feel that we are brothers yet,
And by-and-bye wo turn aside
From burrying care and worldly fret,
And each one wanders back to meet
His brother by the hearth of home;
think the meeting is more sweet
Because 30 far and wide we roam.
We cross the lengthening bridge of years,
Meet outstretched hands and faces true;
The silent eloquence of tears
Speaks welcome that no words can do.
But ah, the meetings hold regret
The sad, sad story, often told,
OF hands that ours have often met,
Close 1, lded under churchyard mold,
or eyes that smile into our own,
Closed in the dreamless sleep Of God;
A sweetcr rest was never known
Than theirs beneath the graves white sod
A tender thought for them tonight,
A tribute tear from memory
Beneath their covering of white
Sweet may their dreamless slumber be.
