THE BALD.HEADED TYRANT.

Oh! the quietest home on earth had !,
No thought Of trouble, no hint of care;
And peace had folded her pinions there.
But one day there joined our household band
A ld-headed tyrant from No-mans land.
Oh, the despot came in the dead OF night,
And no one ventured to ask him why;
Like slaves we trembled before his might,
Our hearts stood still when we heard him
cry: =
For never soul could his power withstand,
That bald-headed tyrant from No-man's-
land.
He ordered us here and sent us there
Though never word could his small lips
speak
With his toothless gums and his vacant
stare,
And his helpless limbs so trail and weak,
tn l cried, in voice, OF stern command.
eco up, thou baldhead from No-man's-
But his AFFECT slaves they turned on me;
Like the bears in Scripture, they rend me
there,
The while they worshipped with Bonded
This ruthless wretch with the missing
hair;
For he rules them all with relentless hand,
This bald-headed tyrant from No-man's-l
Then searched for help in every cline,
For peace had fled from my dwelling now,
Till finally thought of old Father Time,
And low before him made my bow.
evil thou deliver me out of his hand,
This bald-headed tyrant from No-man's-
land %
Old Time he looked with puzzled stare,
And a smile came over his features grim,
''l'll take the tyrant under my care
Watch what my hour-glass does to him.
The veriest humbug that ever was planned
Is this same baldhead from Norman land -
Old Time is doing his work full we'll
Much less OF might does the tyrant WELD;
But alb! with sorrow my heart will swell
And sad tears fall as see him yield,
Could stay the touch of that shriveled hand,
would keep the bald-head from No-man's
land.
For the loss of Peace have ceased to care
Like other vassals, I've learned, forsooth,
To love the wretch who forgot hair,
And hurried along without tooth
And he rules me too with tiny hand,
This bald-headed tyrant from No-man's- STAND.

The Camel's Good Points.
Correspondence

cairo correspondence
My camel was led down in the sand
patiently awaiting his burden. You
tie camel to. himself-that is when
he shuts up his legs under him like
knife blades you slip a leathern BRACE
let over his knee and there you have
him, for it is impossible. for him to
open his leg SO long as the bracelet is
around it. binding the leg above the
knee and the shin-bone together like a
pair of tongs. OF course it is not easy
to find anything in the dessert to
which you may tie your camel secure.
~; a beneticent Providence has there
fore made every camel his own hitch
lng-pOst. likewise his own cistern and
vegetable market and step-ladder-in
fact the camel is the most complete
machine on four legs that we have
knowledge of. His machinery is
through his sides, and his tail is the
barest opolgy and unworthy of notice.
You would think your camel went on
stills If you were to start off sudden.

high back Of his You would think he

pathetic eyes, and those deep cavities
above them, big enough to hold hens
egg; his aquiline nose. with its mar
row, slanting nostrils, hut shut tight
against the sand storms and WHITENING
kamsin, and give very scornful ex-
preston to the face; the whole face
looks as ii it were just going to CIV.
The absurd under-lip is puckering and
and pouting to the most charming ex-
tent, and you are not at all surprised
when the beast finally bursts into tears
and cries long and loud like a great
overgrown baby. This is the pudding
flooded pride of the dessert, whose
silken hair is mans raiment, and
whose milk is meat and drink. While
my camel was still kneeling with his
strap over his legi stepped into the
curve OF his neck and went up the
front stairs to the top of his lump.
His saddle was a tree of wood with
thick rugs lashed over it. 1t was a
little like swinging in sawbuck, rid
ing that camel to Sakkarah. He edged
his way over the dessert, putting the
two legs on one side of him forward
at the same time, and then kneeling
over and pushing the other side ahead.
was continually rocked back and
forth until my head swung loosely on
my shoulders, my sides ached and all
my spine was sore. Many people are
seasick when they mount camel for
the first time. The motion is not un-
like that of small boat in a chop sea.
There is certainly no pleasure and
very little elegance in your rest as you
toss to and fro on the summit of that
animated mountain of India rubber.

OuCsluo. nave Deen able to gather
here more than 200 broken or entire
erra-cotta idols of Juno, in the form
OF woman or in that Of q cow. By
far the most of the former have lively
red. painted ornaments, on a light red
dead color, two. breasts in relief, be-
low which prOtrudes on each side a
long horn, so that both horns together
form half-circle. There have also
been found some idols with an un-
covered birds head, large eyes, no
horns, but two well indicated hands
Joined on the breast. Together with
the numerous COW idols | also found
two terra-cotta horse-heads, the figure
OF lion, that of a ram, and that of an
elephant, which seems to prove that
the Greeks knew this latter animal
centuries before the Macedonian Pc
Rod.
Iron and glass had already been
known to the Mycenians at remote
antiquity, for found of the latter a
large pearl in 10 feet depth, and, made
OF glass-like substance, large num-
Der OF button-like objects, which seem
to have served as ornaments in the
the house-dOors or elsewhere. Of iron
L found some knives, as we'll as some
very curious keys, one of which is
very thick, is II centimetres long, has
four teeth, each four centimetres long,
and is at the other end provided with
a ring for suspension. I also found
small and thick terra-cOtta disk,
with furrow all around for suspen-
sion by a string on one side of it,
which is we'll polished and seems to
have been covered with wax, are en-
graved a number of the signs which
occur SO frequently in the ruins of
Troy. The Mycenians seem to have
been musicians, for found beautifully
ornamented fragments of Tyre and
flute; also fragment of crystal
vase was found. and wooden comb.
Ut the tombstones which not until
now have been brought to light, II are
without any ornament, while two
others, which are standing side by
side, are covered with bas-reliefs of
capital interest.
In carefully examining these sculp.
lures l find in the representation of all
the animals, but particularly in that
OF the horned ones, so great a resem-
blance to the style of sculpture in the
lions above the entrance door that
think they must belong to the same
epoch-viz., about 1000 B. G. To the
same time will probably belong all the
treasures of Mycen@, that part of the
circuit walls at the Lions gate and the
gate itself. If, then, as we did at Ii.
ryns, we fix the chronology of the
idols with the birds heads at 400 B..
c., this will probably also be the age
Of the circuit walls of carefully-carved
and fitted polygons, while that part of
the walls which consists of huge bowl
ders joined with small stones is proba-
bly, contemporaneous with the walls of
Tiryns, which we supposed to be of
about 1000 B. G.
Homer repeatedly calls Mycene rich
in gold. and the great wealth of the
city is certainly confirmed by it's nu-
merous treasures and the costly style
of their architecture. But the ques-
ton naturally arises how the city OBJ.
tanned it's gold at that remote period,
when there was no commerce as yet.
1t appears, indeed, that it cannot have
obtained it in any other way than by
powerful piratical expeditions to the
Asiatic coast.
