THE FAME OF TEE CITY,
BY JOHN BOYLE 0'REILLY.

A great rich city Of power and pride,
Win streets full Of traders, and ships on the tide;
With 1iCh men and wOrkmen, and Judges and
preachers,
The shops full Of skill, and the schools full Of
teachers.
The people were proud Of their opuent town;
Inc rich men spent millions TO bring 1t enOwn;
Inc strong men built and the trpdCslHCn planned,
Lhe shipmen sailed to every land;
me lawyers argued the teachers taught,
ana poor shy poet his verses brought
ANA cast them into the splendid store.
The tradesmen stared at his useless craft,
mhe rich men sneered, and the strong men laughed /;
The preachers said It was worthless quite
Inc scho0-men claimed 1t was theirs TO write.
but the songs were spared, though they added
naught
To the profit and praise the people sought,
That was waited AT last from distant climCs
And the townsnen said, TO rcmOtcst times
We shall send our name and our greatness DOWN.
The boast came true; but the famous town
Had lesson TO learn when all was told
Inc nations that hOnOred cared naught for It's gold
ls ski they exceeded hundredfOld;
~ had only been one O! Il thousand more
liad the songs Of the poet been lost to Its store
Then the rich men and tradesmen and school-men
said
They had never derded, but praised instead;
And they boast Of the poet the town has bred.

Girls Manners.

If our little girls greet their brothers
and sisters, and perhaps even their par
ents, boisterously; if instead of Good
morningl" they cry, "Halloo, papa !
Halloo, mammal" and call playmates in
the streets in the same rough manner,
who will be surprised if this style follows
them as they grow up and appear as
young ladies?
Referring to his unladylike manner
and mode of address, gentleman writes
that, passing two pretty, well dressed
stylish-looking young ladies in the pub
lie street, he was surprised to hear one
meet the other with, Halloo, Sid I"
and the other respond, "Halloo, Tudel"
to her friends greeting, and he remarks
it was Just what two Longing young
men might have said, or stable boys, for
that matter.
II might not have been so much out
of the way for the latter, but confess
it sounded very old and offensive in
what l supposed to be two well-bred
young ladies' as much so as if l had
heard two beautiful, gay and rose colored
birds begin to swear.
1t was so unnatural and out Of place.
1t may be the style" for young girls
or ladies to greet each other with a
&" Halloo !" but / cant like it or get
used to it. These things may seem but
triAe, but they make all the difference
between nice things and very common
things.-Chrlstjon Union.

Alden HAS Rain.

a singular phenOT enon is reported from
Alden. 4 heavy shower of RAIN has actual
ly fallen there, and the Arabs and other in
habltants feel at a loss to account for It.
Such was the effect of the down-pour that
the air afterwards became 80 cool that Eu-
ropeans could tolerate light overcoat, and
Arabs and Abyssinlans their cotton cloth,
without feeling in the least discommoded.
This IS truly wonderful state of matters
for Alden, which is the only station the
British possess on the coast Of Arabia. 1t
has the unenviable reputation of being the
hottest pla'e in the world. Situated at the
southern bend Of the Red Sea, not far from
that celebrated Babel -Mandeb, or Gate of
Tears, which the Arabian and Indian navi-
gators at one time never entered without
believing that in all probably they would
never survive either the shoals or the calm,
sitting heat CT the Red Sea. Adec is built
at the foot of bare volcanic rock, and Is
not much oftener visited by q refreshing
breeze than it is by rain. British soldiers
whose lot has cast them upon that bleak
spot of earth tell wicked stories about It,
One is that an Irlshman died ''from drink,
then said the climate killed him." When
he had been buried for time he reappeared
as ghost at the bedside of a former CON-
rade, and beseeched that he might be gwen
his great coat, because afther Alden hell
was cowld." Another is that the European
residents are, IN the absence of shady trees
on the barren peninsula, accustomed to
cluster under the lean flag gstaff that stands
on Alden Point, in the hope that they may
share the grateful shadow tina. it casts upon
the ground. In the vicinity Of Alden there
| are enormous masonry tanks which the
| Arabs assert to have been built by Moses.
| These tanks-three in number-are situateC
in corner formed by the junction of high
volcanic rocks, and are connected by grad
ually descending flights Of Titanic steps
| They have Eever been even half fiilet
within the memory OF man, and this hal
made certain philosophers opine tha. th'
seasons in the Red Sea must haye changee
| within the last two thousand years, u
Moses would never have been 50 foolish q
to build colossal stone reservoirs if he knew
there never would be rain enough to dl
them. Previous to the construction of tn
Suez Canal, Alden used to be visited b,
light showers about once every three years
but within the last twelve years these show
ers have become more and more frequent
and now they appear to have culminate
in the down pourwhich has caused SO muc
surprise. Old navigators of the Red Sc
are confident that this seasonal change
due to the Suez Canal, AID perhaps thei
theory is correct that the new water con
nection between the Mediterranean and tn
ancient Erythrean causes rain clouds t
travel from Eastern Europe until they ar
broken by the heights of Alden and descen
| in the form of rain.

What He Could Do.

w hen sh:.ll weknow that the enemy has

who had ran away from his master and en-,
tered the British Navy as a common boy
about the year Of 1880.
When that flag is hauled down, an.
swered the sailor addressed. the ship will
be ours.
'Oh. if that's all, LII see what can do, :
Now this taior's boy. when he ran away
from his master, joined a ship which had
the good fortune, few hours after he en-
tered the service, to fall in with a French
squadron, and warm action, bravely
foIght on both sides, was maintained
After fighting for shor. tlme the boy was
impaticn! for the result, and addressed the
above question to sailor. No sosner had
he been told that the withdrawal OF the
flag from the enemy masthead would be
the signal that the acton had been de
clded, than he determined To see what hc
| could do.
AT that rloment the vessels were en-
gagged yard arm 70 yard-arD, and were OBJ
