"Reminiscences.
BY HENRY s. CoRNwELL.

It was Turk in Tunis that met;
Cross-legged upon a saffron-colored mat,
Silent and imperturbable he sat;
And like nightmare behold him yet
Bronzed as pagan god, smoke-brown and dry
AS parchment; yet his interpretive eye,
Full OF gray meditation on the themes
Tho world wots not of, seemed to gaze on dreams.
Through many terrors have passed since then
Wounded in battles, wrecked in midnight seas,
Wasted by famine among savages.
Grazing the grave in many ways; but when
think OF that old Turk there at his ease,
1t seems as If all this had never been!
