SO, and this time remained longer
than before. At length both men
made their appearance, and told us
that they had been to every part of
the ship below, and although several
dead bodies were there, they could
see none answering the description of
Pierre. We now arrived at the con-

washed away, and as Smith also was

the BEAUTIFUL BALLAD OF WAsKA WEE.
BY II. NJ. d.

Her voice was sweet as a ban-go-lin;
Her mouth was small as the head Of pin;
Her eyes ran up, her chin ran down.
oh, she was the belle of IeddO town.
Now lovely Waska Stingty Wee,
So good to hear. and sweet to see,
The falreSt maiden in all Japan,
Fell dead in love with a Turkish man.
This Turkish man a turban had.
This Turkish man was sly and bad;
He whispered unto Miss Waska Wee:
80 fly with me to my own Turkee!
80 fly with me to my own TurkAe
And robes of gold I'l give to thee
A girdle of pearl and love for liie,
If thou wilt be my eightieth wife,"
Now simple Waska Stingty Wee,
So good to hear, SO fair 10 see,
Resolved behind her bashful fan
To he eightieth wife of this Turkish man;
But though her heart was full of glee,
She hung her head and said to H.:
..If thou shoCldst die, my Turkish beau,
Where would poor waska Stingty go?'
Then this horrid. sly old Turkish man
Declared he'd die on the English plan.
And SO, /" said he, ''my bright winged bird,
Thou 1t have Tor thy fortune the Widows third.
Then flew the maid to the Mi-ka-do,
And told the plan of her Turkish beau.
'.And now /" said she, "the whole thou st heard
How much will it be, this widows third ?''
Now the Mi ka-do was wondrous wise.
He opened his mouth and shut his eyes:
'tThe widows third, U daughter, will be
Whatever the law i'll allow to thee.''
Then flew the maid to the Court of Lords,
Where every man wore Il brace OF swords,
And bade them name what sum would be hers
When her Turk should 90 to his foreiathers.
They sat council from dawn till night,
And Sat again till morning Light
Figured and counted, and weighed to see
What an eightieth Widows third would be;
And the end OF it all. as you well might know,
Was nought but grief to the Turkish beau;
For lovely Waska stingty Wee
Said: "Go back alone to your old Turkee ~
