He held scroll within his neshlcss hand,
And scanned with hollow eyes its pages fair,
Uplift his kingly head, where tossed in grand,
Unkempt profllsion, snow white locks OF hair
Gazcd outward DER weird and sunless sea,
That crept in Swallowed ripples TO his feet,
Whose drear and chilling tides roll ceasccsly,
And RESTLESS waves their endless means repeat
Twas Death who paced that lonesome, barren
shore
The signing winds that swayed his mantle
free
Sped on phantom boat, whose muflled oar
Fer sweeps the dark tides of that dreary sea
SO heavily hang the mists above its breast,
They hide all vestige of Il promised goal,
But safe beyond that waters wild unrest

He raised the snowy page, in accents deep
Read DER the many lines that clustered
there
Dear names of loved ones fallen calm to sleep,
In peaceful rest from Lifc's all certain care;
Whose feet have pressed the cold, desolate way,
Whose white-robed forms We're slowly tcrried
From Earth's fair homes to endless realms of
day,
Where crystal sea-waves touch the glittcring
Dear mothers names are there, whose gentle
eyes
Arc closed fore'er, soft voices heard no more;
Oh! what world Of prayers, and tears, and
signs,
Followed them down 10 Deaths dark river
Kind cherished friends we'd fondly learned to
Called from our side while waiting sad and
lone;
We ycarn to see their faces far above,

The sweet pet names of little children fall
From his pale lips, and sound SO sad and cold
We see their fair white forms, the sable PAIL
That shrouds them in its darkness fold Oh fold
Dear little curl-tressed heads lying so still,
Wee dimped hands folded in tears away
The silvery voices hushcd SO wont to thrill
Sad hearts with music all the ivc-long day.
Drifting across the waters, weird and Slow
The phantom barque has borne them DER the
tide,
Far, far away where white as spotlcss snow,
Glisten the pearly portals Of the heavenly side;
They've entered in, that bright angelic band,
And with the golden, precious cord of love
Are leading dear ones to that heavenly land,
That happy home prepared for all above.
Brave names of noble men the Earth held dear
Are written on the records of the dead;
Bright beamed the star of Hope, in beauty clear;
Farer the crown of Fame for many head
But low within the tomb they silent lie,
The strong tones hushed, the busy heart at
rest;
Their work on Earth is DER, beyond the sky
They've Joined the holy choirs Of the blest.
Twas midnight and the far off tower bells
Echo their cadence from the sleeping Earth;
Tollcd out in heavy cang their funeral knell,
Then merry pealed New Years happy birth;
Death turned his haggard eyes, and thro' the
roll
Oficy mist, he saw an Angel hand
1t clasped and bore away the written scroll,
Affair into the heavenly, lovely land.
The sad wind moaned and sighed with grieving
breath,
Around the weird and low bowed-fom of
Death.

A Snake i'm n Duel.

Sixty or seventy years ago, two gentle
men, Mr.. Conway and Major Randolph,
arranged one of those wicked and foolish
methods of settling a quarrel, mis-named
ian affair of honor"
The place of meeting was an open glade
in forest in Virginia.
Attended by the second and a surgeon,
the parties met early one morning, and af-
ter courtcously saluting each other, fell
back while their friends settled the prelim-
inaries.
These were soon finished, and placing the
rapiers in the hands of the principals, they
we're ordered to set to.
Both were accomplished swordsmen.
From the first Conway acted on the de-
fensive, and slowly backed under the Ma
lor's fierce onset.
The keen rapiers cleaned and flashed as
they cut the morning air in the vicious
lunge or guarded parry.
The seconds soon perceived that Conway
was winding his antagonist, who was al
ready breathing hard, and they saw, too,
that as soon as he was out of breath, Con-
way would pick him in any spot he
chose. ..... y,.
The end was near.
A furious rush of Randolph's caused the
willy swordsman to retreat, parrying at the
same time the lunges of the foe; but as he
was pressed back, he felt singing sensa-
ton on his ankle, and glaDcing down saw
copper-head snake, coiled and in the act
of sinking his fangs into him for the second
time
With cry of horror he threw down his
sword and leapod sidewise.
The situation was understood at
glance. .rr....-.
In q twinkling the surgeon had him on
the grass cutting away the flesh from the
punctured spot, and dosing him with wills
ky, and none worked over him more heart
lily than the man who moment before
faced him in mortal combat.
This prompt treatment saved his life, and
beyond swelling of the limb, no harm re-
suited. .'.
1t was found out afterwards that the SER
pent had a nest near the spot, which ac-
counted for its unusual boldness.
Mr.. Conway never fought another duel

Sheep to Improve Soil.

From many years experience and obser-
walton | am fully convinced that ploaoing-
in green crops with lime such as clover
and others-is the most economical and
speedest means that farmer can use for
Jringing-up soorn soil. Yet, it can be prof
itably done by the use of sheep-in pastur-
ing even.
More than once and on more than one,
farm have seen dry, barren spots, such as
gravel knobs and side-hills, made fertile
and productive in single season, simply
by sailing a small flock of sheep on those
barren spots twice week during the sum
mer; the sheep would be sure to resort
there several times day to lick up the
salt, and thus leave their droppings, both
liquid and solid, which are very rich fer
tilizers; then the next season, the most
rank and luxuriant growths of grass or
grain would he produced ON these ''galled
spots of any other portion of the whole
field thus, the best kind of manure was
applied and spread just where most want
ed without any hard labor. Weight for
weight sheep manure is more fertilizing
than either horse or COW manure, and next
in value to hen or hog droppings. Sheep
are valuable fertilizers am very sure.

"reminiscences of the War of 1912

WRITTEN BY THE LATE CAPT. JOHN A. WEB
sTER, COMMANDER OF THE sIX-GUN BAT
Terry.
The following interesting "reminiscences
of the battle of Bladensburg and the attack
upon Baltimore city by the British, in 1914,
were written some years ago by the
late Capt. John A. Webster, of Hartford
county, at the request of Mr.. Brantz Mayer,
who was engaged at the time, we believe,
in writing series ofarticles for the Mary
land Historical Society. The paper was
promised to us for publication by Capt.
Webster few days before his death, and
has lately been received from member of
his family. 1t is given as Capt. Webster
wrote it, as follows:
At the commencement of the war with
Great Britain, in 1924, was appointed
Commodore by Barney Sd Lieutenant on
board the privateer Rosie. With it we
captured and destroyed great many of
the enemy's vessels, one of which was the
Princess Amelia packet-ship. She fought
hard, and did not strike her colors until
her commander and two Lieutenants were
killed. We lost several men and our First
Lieutenant mortally wounded.
At the formation of the Flotilla at Bal
timore, Commodore Barney procured for me
q warrant as sailing master in the Navy,
and was placed in charge of one of the
barges, the whole period of its existence,
or until they were burned near Pig Point,
at the head of the Patuxcnt river, on the
approach of the British towards Washing
ton. | was in all the engagements with
Commodore Barney, and during an attack
made on two British frigates, Mt the mouth
of ST. Ieonard's Greek, had two men killed
on my barge-one mdshipman, Aisquith,
of Baltimore, and one seaman. In that en-
gagement we lost altogether nine killed and
sixteen wounded.
At the time of the battle of Bladensburg,
| was ordered by Commodore Barney to
ride to the field of battle from the Navy
Yard at Washington, and take charge ofthc
seamen attached to his ship, the Scorpion,
and also the seamen attached to my barge
We met the enemy about one and a half
miles from Bladensburg. Commodore
Barney ordered our forces to be tiauked
abreast of his cannon, and to the right of

already advancing. Our army was then in
full flight, rapidly moving towards WASH
ington. Our fire Immediately commenced
on the enemy, both from the long eighteen
Founders under the immediate command
of Commodore Barney, and the different
detachments belonging to the Flotilla, and
commanded by different officers of the same
grade as myself. One Of the officers named
Warner, was killed at one of the barge
guns, also two petty officers and several
seameD. Our seamen, who served as in
fantry, including those under my command,
acted nobly, and continued to do so until
the ammunition gave out, and the most of
us were surrounded. When it became
necessary to replenish the ammunition, we
discovered those in charge of the ammuni-
ton wagons had run off with the contents.
That being the case, we made our escape
in double.quick time. If you will refer to
McSherry's history you viii find an &C
count of it.

starch is out of her dress and his collar.
She's cross and he's sulky. She's biting
her parasol and he's swinging the basket
around as if he'd like to throw it at some

that have been married five years generally
