REDBREAST IN TAMPA.
BY SIDNEY LANIER.

(Lippincot, Magazine for March,
The robbin laughed in the orange tree;
"HO, windy north, fig for thee!
While breasts are red and wings are b0h,
And green trees wave me globes of gold,
Old time! thy Scythe reaps bliss for me,
So blithe, so blithe, bird can be.
aft that hate wild winters spite
The gibbet trees, the world in white,
The gray sky bending over grave
Why should ache, the seasons slayes
No, no; sing, and singers be
Too hot for times cold tyranny.
"Nay, windy north, catch my cline;
Ny wing is king of the summer time,
Whose constant torch my breast doth hold
SO laugh through the green and gold,
With: Time thy scythe reaps bliss for roe
So passing blithe we robbins be.

A SONG OF THE CITY.
nY RICHARD WATSON GLIDER.

You may talk of the song OF the pine
When a stiff north easter blows,
OF the play of Rubenstein,
or Thonlas's fiddles and bows
OF the rain drops rhythmic beat,
OF the fountains silvery play,
But. to me, no music is hall so sweet
AS the thunder of Broadway.
Though landlords bully and grind US,
And taxes are hard and high;
Though sleet and dust-clouds blind as,
And it's either freeze or fry:
Though we're prey TO "rings" and "Telorm
ers"
And living is fast and free,
There's a saint at dianer for every sinner,
And New York is the city for me.
III.
Broad way with its rush and roar,
Its fun. and hustle and strife
One plunge in the mighty current
Is a wear of tanner life.
New York, with its glitter and glow,
And flags to the breeze unfurled,
With room and TO spare, on It's splenolo
bays,
For the ships of all the world.

The Perils Of the Sea.

BosToN, April 3
The schooner Addie Todd arrived TO.
day from Surinam, and reports that on
the 9th ult. she fell in with the wreck
of the brig Roanoke, Wylie, from Phila-
delphia for Porto Cabello, and took of
William Mcguire, seaman, who had
been on the wreck nine days. All the
others of the crew. eight in number, and
three passengers, Mr.. and Mrs. Dallett,
of Philadelphia, and Spanish gentle
man, were washed overheard and
drowned.
When one day out from Delaware
breakwatcr fierce storm set in, during
which the vessel became unmanageable.
The fore and main masts were cut away
and the hold was almost filled with water.
The sole survivor tells the following
story: The Captain wished to take to
the boats but was persuaded not to do
it. In the afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Dal
lett were exhausted. They shook hands
with the Captain and mate, bade them
good.by, and expressed the hope that
they would all meet in heaven. Mr.. Dal-
lett took his wife's waterproof and
wrapped it around her head. They en-
brsced each other, and the sea soon
swept them overheard, and they
were drowned. The Spanish gentle
man shortly followed. He said his
prayers, wrapped guilt over his head
and leaped overheard in delirious state.
Soon after this the sea carried away the
after deck. The Captain, the steward,
one sailor and boy were on it and drift
cd away with it. They were seen no
more. The stern broke away and went
next with the mate and second mate.
The mate was drowned nearly alongside,
and the second mate was on a piece of
the stern when last seen. Only two men
were then left with myself and they
afterward became crazy from thirst and
jumped overheard and were drowned.

Queer Quest For a Wife.

Quite sensation was created at the

Hall yesterday by seVenty-year-Old
farmer, who applied for permit 70 visit
Bayview Asylum for the purpose of
choosing wife, The novel wife seeker
is German, living in Baltimore County,
ON the Belair road, and speaks SO little
English that has wishes we're not fully
understood until addressed inhis mother
tongue by Col Snyder. He then stated,
in buslness-like way, that he wanted a
wife, and wished to take his choice from
the females at Bsyview. TheJsineerity
of the old man in urging his singular re-
quest caused his hearers to smile, and he
appeared annoyed at the matter being
treated with levity. He said that seven
years ago, wanting wife, the idea
struck him that perhaps he could find
one at Bayview. He obtained permission
to visit the institution, made known his
request, and was aided by the Superin-
tendent in making suitable selection
from the large number on hand. He
popped the question without ceremony
The woman consented without ceremony,
the marriage ceremony was solemnized
and the couple lived very happily to-
gether until her death three years ago
She made him a good frau, he said, and
now that he had revered her memory

lottery once more. Col. Snyder fur
nished permit to the institution, ac-
companied Ly note to Superintendent

would be the result of the policy which
they believed the President would adopt.
