SIMON BOLIVAR.
BY JOHN GREENLEAF wHITTIEE


IThis poem, written by Mr.. Whittier nearly
half century ago. is not included tn any edition
of his works, and has just appeared in print
dirge is wailing from The Gulf of storm vexed
Mexico,
To where through Pampas solitudes the mighty
rivers flow;
The dark Sierras hear the sound, and from each
mountain rift,
Where Andes and Cordilleras their awful SUBMITS
lift,
Where Cotopaxi's fiery eye glares redly upon
And Chimborazo's shattered peak the upper sky
has riven- 49,
From mount to mount, from wave to wave, Wild
and long lament,
A sob that shakes like her earthquakes the start
led continent!
4 light dies out, life is sped--the hero's at
whose word
The nations started as from sleep and girded on
the sword,
The victor of hundred fields where blood was
poured like rain.
And Freedoms loosened avalanche hurled down
the hosts of Spain,
The eagle soul on Junins slope who showed his
shouting men
grander sight than Bilboa saw from wave
washed Darien,
AS from the SHOWS with battle red died out the
sinking sun,
And broad and vast beneath him lay world for
freedom won.
Row died that victor? In the field with banners
DER him thrown,
With trumpets to his failing ear by charging
SquadrOns blown,
With scattered foenen flying fast and fearfuliy
before him,
With shouts of triumph swelling round, and brave
men bending DER him?
Not on his fields of victory, Dor in his council
hall,
The worn and sorrowing leader heard the inev-
liable call,
Alone he persisted in the land he saved from
Slavery s ban,
Maligned and doubted and denied, broken
hearted mani
Now let the New Worlds banners droop above
the fallen chief,
And let the mountaineer's dark ewes be wet with
tears of grief!-
For SANDERS sting, for envys hiss, for friendship
hatred grown.
Can funeral pomp, and tolling bell and priestly
atoue?-
Better to leave pumourned the dead than wrong
men while they live:
What if the strong man failed or erred, could not
his own forgive?
Q people freed by him, repent above your hero S
bier;
The sole resource of late remorse is his tomb
rear!

SAN Francisco has one peculiar street
railroad. 1t is above a mile and half
long, and runs in California street over
steep Mob Hill, place of handsome
residences. The cost of building it was
$4,000, and it has never paid divi-
dend, but the owners do not mind that,
being among the wealtiest men on the
Pacific coast. The stranger is astonish-
ed to see the cars moving without any
apparent motive power. Between the
tracks is continuous slit, under which
moves a wire cable. An attachment OF
each car, operated by lever, grips or
lets go this cable as required, and the
cable is moved by a powerful engine I'M
derneath the street. The plan works
well but is very costly.

When cold would strike her brow.

table L felt a little more uneasy She
and he sat at opposite corners of the
table. 1t seemed to me that she was
quietly watching him, from time to
time, and at such moments there was
IN her face wonderful light of happi-
ness and pride [ understood it all
presently.
The long dinner passed. dessert was
on the table; the usual toasts had been
given and responded to. Then my
friend rose, and in few serious words
which, as some Of us knew yelled q
real irony proposed the health of the
| youngest man at the tables our dis
tlnguished guest, whose arrival had
been SO long anticipated and so eagerly
hailed.
All drank the toast, and there fol-
lowed an awful pause. Every eve,
Eleanor Hartley's among the number
was fixed on the newcomer. He rose
to his feet, ana L ventured to glance at
her. All was explained.
Oh, woman, what strange being you
are! Soft and yet triumphant was the
beautiful face of our queen. She bent
little forward; her eyes glstened; you
would have said that she was listening
to some exquisite melody.
About him, too, there was change.
l was excited, and of course what [
saw and heard was colored by my mood,
but l could have declared that the
young mans form had expanded, and
that an indescribable dignity had crept
into his gestures. He stood upright,
his voice was clear and unfaltering: he
did not shrink from, he rather cOurted,
the multitude of chances that were
bent on him. AS for his speech-sir, I
have knocked about pretty much, as
you know, and now and then at dinners
and elsewhere [ have knocked up
against distinguished men, but have
never heard speech to match this one.
In substance it was q review of the
time he had spent in the settlement.
To hear him one might have believed
that he had seen through our practical
jests from the first, and while seeming
to be their victim, had been quietly
amusing himself at our expense. Its
manner the delicate irony, the wit the
forcible. piquancy, l should be glad
indeed to reproduce, but of such an
effort l am incapable. Here was a
turning of the tables! My friends
were bewildered; those not in our
secret applauded vociferously. | alone
knew who it was who had planned this
triumph; and l was not surprised
when, few days later, it was rumored
abroad that Eleanor Hartley and our
newcomer where engaged to be mar
ried. Rumor, for once, told a true
tale. Before that cold season was over,
| was invited by Elear Hartley's father
to his daughters wedding.
"And | would wager" said the
gentleman who had asked for the story,
g that my lady kept him in order"
con the contrary" replied our guest,
she was a model among wives-de-
voted, adoring. / believe she thought
that man half divine. "Well, poor
fellow, be was always delicate, and,
after two Or three years of happiness,
he died."
