ARCHIDAMIA.

When Pyulus had invaded Greece and laid
sioge 20 tho eity Of sparta the Spartan chiefs met
for consultation, and having almost despaired OF
successfully efephng the city, they determined
10 send the women and children Away TO the island
of Crete, whilc the mon would remain to defend
tie city 70 the last. II was Just ut the close Oh
the council that Archilamia, the Spartan oueeh'
heaIdng of their .lctounination, interrupted thein
deliberation rs told IN the following poem
Rotetdthe Colorado Miner. m which We hnd the
NOON. saws il was first published some years ago
by an unknown writer in an English magazine;
The chiefs were met IN council han,
Their words were sal ana few:
They were ready TO aght and ready to fall,
As the sons of Heroes do.
And moorcd in the harbor Of Gythyum lay
The last of the Spartan feet,
That should bear The women and children away,
To the sunny shores of Crete.
And they turned their faces, eager and pale,
To the rising roar in the street.
ASST the clauk of the Spartan MALL
Were the tramp OF the conqueror's feet.
Twas Archidarnja. the spartan Queen,
Brave rs her fathers steel,
And she stood like the silence that comes between
The fash and the thunder peal.
"spnrtans." she said, and her woman's face
Flashed out both pride and shame,
al ask, by the memory Of your race,
Are ye worthy Of the name:
aye have bid us seek new homes and graves,
Beyond the reach of the foe;
But bv the dash Of the bright sea waves,
We swear we will not 90.
ave are brave mems mothers and brave mems
wives;
We are ready 20 10 and 10 dare;
We are ready to man your wall with our lives,
And string your bows with our hair.
aIs tsc name Of Pyrrhus 70 blanch your cheeks,
shall he burn, kill and destroy
Arr We not sous OF the doa,hlcss Greeks
Who fred the gates of Troy
.what though his feet have scathelcss stood
Mid the rush q; the runic foam;
What though his sword be dyed with blood
That has beat at the heart of Rome.
"Shame to the traitor heart that springs
To the rir,t soft arms Of peace,
Though the Roman eagle shook his wings
At the very gates Of Greece,
"I.et the yosus and brave lie down tonight,
And dream OF the brave old dead;
Their broad shicils bri1lt for to-morrow's fight
Their swords beneath their heads.
"our hearts are better than bolts and bars,
We neither vail nor weep;
We will have our touches the watching stars,
And keep guard while our warriors sleep.

He picked up the basket to car
ry it to the window, when the Young
African, having struggled his hands
free, made short work of the wrap
ping about his face.
"Terra an 'ouuds!" said Fergus,
dropping his basket, sis that my

He stopped to the task, however,
but it was too much.
"By the sod of ould Ireland, but

A FOine Boy.

Fergus O'Brien, Of Galway, Ire
land, had left the Queens domin-
ions and crossed the blue waters
with his wife and one child, and
the good ship which brought them
over landed her freight, living and
otherwise, safely at Castle Garden,
on a stormy day in February one
year ago. After the preliminaries
attending Decentralization the en-
igrants separated, going north,
south and west. The Pennsylvania
railroad brought Fergus and his
little family to Philadelphia, and
after he had found a residence for
his wife and child, which domicil-
airy location consisted of two rooms
on Front street, he was not long in
getting employment.
Now Mrs. Fergus had female
cousin who lived in part of the
same house, and who was an in
corrigible practical joker. Accord
ingly, when the LIST of April came
around she decided to "fool" cou-
sin Fergus. She laid her plans SC
as to have Mrs. O'Brien out of the
way for the morning, and then sent
a lad with a note to where Fergus
was employed, which read as fol-
lows:
DEAR CoUsIN.-Accept my con-
gratulations. You are feyther
Come up at once. KATIE.
p. SIT is foine boy and
weighs beyant twenty pounds.
While the boy was gone with the
note Katie made haste to borrow @
negro baby eight months old, and
wrapping it deliberately in hastily
improvised garments, she deposit.
ed it in the big clothes basket and
set it before the fire. Then sh,
proceeded to gather in her neigh
bors to witness the effect of hel
joke. Not a minute too soon, eth
err, for by the time the last one baC
got safely slowed away Fergu,
came up the steps, clearing four a
a leap.
"Let me see the spalpeen-th,
bye" says he.
"Hist" says Katie, "ye'll wake
him. It's slapin' he is. Now, dom
make any sthir an I'll let yez pap,
at him"
But the caution came too late
for the vigorous lungs Of the eigh
months old smoke" set up a tire
mendous racket.
"That's an O'Brien !" says Fer
gus, clapping his hands. "Mothel

"Not for four days." said the
doctor. "Rather hard work for
you, isn't itl Are you fond OF
reading"
"Yes; l like books, il there are
lots of bears, and alligators, and
fighting in them"
"Well," said the doctor, laugh
ing, 81 think l have some works OF
that description and if your moth
err will allow me, 1 will bring them
over"
Certainly" said Mrs. Raymond.
II shall consider it a great kind
ness"
So he called that afternoon, and
Edith managed to get remarkably
well acquainted in so short time.
After that there were morning
calls and afternoon rambles to the
"clifts," and of course it was the
old, old story. One day, just on
the spot where they had first met,
he told her he loved her, and won
a similar confession from her sweet
| lips. And then-but Of course
you know-they forgot for the next
hour that they were not the only
persons in the world. Finally, Edith
told her lover of Mr.. Chester, and
that her father expected her to
her to marry him.
