CAssIUs AGAINST CESAR.

CAssIUS AGAINST CESAR.
Honor is the subject of my story;
/ can not tell what you and other men
Think of this life, not being n mind reader
But for my single self, had AS lief not be
As 1 live to be in awe of such thing as my
self:
And after YOU have taken n good square look
ut me,
think YOU will be of the same opinion.
I was born as free Cesar.
Having been ushered into the world
North of Mason and Dixon's line;
So have you VIC have both fed as well.
And we can both endure the winters cold,
And get along without a chest protector as
well as he.
For, once upon a raw and gusty day.
The troubled Tiber being in high rafting
stage,
Two dollars and IL half you will not leap with
Into the angry flood and swim to Hunters
Pointi"
Quicker than you could have said
j. Robinson Crusoe, accoutred as was,
plung- ed in, and babe him follow me;
And so, indeed, the snoozer did,
The torrent roared, and we did buffet it,
With lusty sinews throwing 1t aside,
And stemming it with hearts of controversy.
For in those times two dollars and n half
Were not picked up every day.
But ere we could arrive the point proposed,
Caesar weakened, and cried: "Help me, Cas-
sius;
I've got a cramp in my left legr'
l. as 1Eneas, our great ancestor,
Did from the flames of Troy,
Upon his shoulders, the old AnchiseS bear.
So, from the waves of Tiber, did the
Played out Caesar; and this man is now
Become a god, and thinks of running for
Governor,
While Cassius is still wretched tramp
And must bend his body
If Caesar carelessly but nod to him.
He ever had the fever and ague when he was
Canvassing for a book in Spain;
And when the chill was on him
l did mark how he did shake,
And how, like an endman's bones,
His teeth did chatter; I could have told
Him that quinfne and whisky
Would knock the chills higher than
The price of butter, but didn't do It.
No; Irather enjoy ed the situation.
Now, in the name of all the gods at once,
What hen roost doth this, our Cesar, patron
Use,
That he hath grown so great?

THE largest cask in the world is that
at Konigstein, which was finished in
1925, after three years work. This
cask, as soon as finished, was filled with
5000 quintals of good Nielsen wine,
which cost $4,000 sterling. 1t contains
649 hogsheads more that the famous tun
of Heidelberg. The top is rallied in and
affords room sufficient for Is or 20 per-

The custom of kissing the Pope's toe
was introduced about 70S. Adrian 1.
caused money to be coined with his
name, 7S0. The first Pope who kept an
army was Leo TX, 1854. In 1917 Greg
DRY VII. compelled Henry w., Emperor
of Germany, to stand barefooted in the
snow at the gate of the Castle of Canosa.
The Pope's authority was established in
England in 1919; and in 1161 Henry III.
held the stirrup, while Pope Alexander
Ill. mounted his horse. In 1871 Celest-
inc III. kicked the crown from off the
head of the Emperor Henry vi. to show
his prerogative of making and unmak-
ing kings. Kissing the Pope's toe and
other ceremonies were abolished by
Clement XIV. in 1878. The Pope was
deprived of the remains of his temporal
power in December, 1870.

Three months afterward John receiv-

caused him to take a second journey.
The advertisement had been answered
by woman who proved herself to be
the missing daughter of Grandfather
Dill beyond a doubt. She was a poor
widow, and supported herself and little
boy by coarse sewing. A wretched sup
port it afforded her, and she was found
living in tenement attic, with health
and Spirits broken by misfortune.
She said that she had long since re-
pented her folly in leaving her father,
and had once gone back to her early
home to be reconciled to him, but the
place was then in the hands ofstrangers
After that she had been unable to learn
any thing of him, and had believed him
long since dead. Such was the story
