A gentleman who was complaining on

rather large sum of money in Wall street
and lost it all, was asked by sympathiz-

" BEAR NE OUT OF THE BATTLE. FOR 10 AM soRELY
WOUNDED"

REJOICE,
EAR NE OUT OF THE BATTLE. FOR 10 AN soREL.
WOUNDED"
From out my deep, wide-bosomed West
Where unnamed heroes hew the way
For worlds to follow, with stern zest-
Where gnarled old naples make array,
Deep SCARED from Red Men gone to rest
Where pipes the quail. where squirrels play
Through tossing trees with nuts for toy.
boy steps forth, clear-eyed and taI.
A bashful boy. a soulful boy.
Yet comely as the sons of Saul
boy, all friendless, poor unknown,
Yet heir apparent to throne.
Lo ! Freedoms bleeding sacrifice
So like some tall oak tempest blown
Beside the storied stream he lies
Now at the last. palebrowed and prone.
Anation kneels with streaming eyes
A nation suppltcates the Throne
A nation holds him by the hand
nation sobs aloud at this,
The only dry eyes in the. land
Now at the last think are his,
Why we should pray, God knoweth pest,
That this grand, patient soul should rest.
The world is round. The wheel has run
Full circle Now. behold a grave
Beneath the old, loved trees is done.
The druid oaks lift up and wave
A solemn welcome back. The brave
Old naples murmur, every one,
" Receive him earth !" In centre land,
As in the centre of each heart.
As in the hollow OF Gods hand
The coffin sinks. And with it part
All party hates ! Now, not in vain
He bore his peril and hard pain.
".
Therefore, say, rejoice I say
The lesson of his life was much
This boy that won, as in a day,
The worlds heart utterly; touch
Of tenderness and tears; the page
OF history grows rich from such;
His name the nations heritage
But ! as some sweet angels voice
Spake this brave death that touched us all
Therefore, say, rejoice rejoice !!
Run high the flags ! Put by the pail
Lo all Is for the best for all.

Concerning Swimming.

Many good swimmers are of opinion
that nobody need be drowned who does
not lose his head when he fails into deep
water. If he can not swim he can float,
it is maintained, or tread water.
Against this theory may be set the exr
perience of most men, that they can
neither float nor tread water till they
have learned how to swim. J Both oper-
atoms, both floating and treading, are
natural and easyr, But, both, require
precisely that calmness and balance OF
mind and body which in the water are
only possible to people who can trust
their own powers. A swimmer leaves
