THE CASTLE WALL.

WITHOUT.
NV lady's castle is strong and old,
The castle wall is high;
The world outside is empty and cold,
And hopeless knight am l.
NV lady walks in garden grand,
NV lady, so stately and fair;
And yellow sunbeams fall in her hand,
She has braided them in her hair.
Two roses bloom on a single stalk,
But their souls to her cheeks have fed
A lily bends in the garden walk,
She bends her lily head.
Amermaid crept from the sea so cold,
stood moment alone on the strand;
Coral and pearls had the mermaid bold,
They fell in my lady's hand.
Mylady's teeth are pearly white,
Her lips are coral red;
Nv eyes are blind with the dazzling light
would that were dead.
WITHIN
Oh! strong old castle, gray and grim,
Canst see the plume of my knight?
Look, castle wall, for my eyes are dim.
Why tarries he in the fight?
Proud rose, red rose, with piercing thorn
His sword more red will be;
Pray, sanity lily, night and morn,
That my knight come back to me.
Oh! passion lower, with holy heart,
My heart shall be pure and clear,
For, heavenly leaf with three-fold part,
hold him heavenly dear.
Oh! tender grass, so low bed,
May my true loves plume ride high;
For sanguine foxglove, bloody red,
If his blood is shed die.

A PILLow-CAsE, well saturated with
water, and having small hole torn in
it to look through, placed loosely ovei
the head, is said to be an admirable i'm
promptu respirator in the denses'
smoke, valuable idea for escaping oc
cupants from burning buildings. Vice
Admiral birmingham, when he COM
manded the Cambridge training-ship at
Plymouth, made an experiment with
this pillow-case respirator. He had II
pounds of loose powder exploded in a
confined part of the ship, which, al
though screened off with fearnaught,
emitted so dense smoke that those out
side had to lie down ON the deck. A
common pillow-case, with small eye
hole, was placed over the head of a man,
who, with the hose in his hand, went in
side and remained 10 minutes, when, to
assure his friends outside of his safety,
he sang a comic song.
