THAT YELLOW DOG.

had pleasant neighbor once,
Whose surname was not Brown,
Who owned a stump-tail yellow dog
That roamed about the town.
1t frightened little girls and boys;
1t hunted chickens down.
This worthless, cross and mongrel cur
Kept up constant row.
Our people to repose at night
1t never would allow.
1t neither drove the thief away
Nor chased the highway COW. ..
This kindly neighbor did not care
For all our woes a pin. ..
He said: I'm any kind o. fight
That dog can lick an win"
(He used to sit upon his stoop
And let it lick his chin0
A dusky organ-grinder came
Into our town one day. ..-.
Upon his music-boX he bore
A monkey, meek and gray.
He stopped before my neighbours door,
And soon began to play.
My neighbor whistled for his dog,
To frighten him away.
Out at the gate the mongrel flew,
With furious yelps and cries.
The tramp at his aggressor threw
A look of sad surprise;
While suddenly the monkey grew
To seven times its size
With curved backbone, with bristling hair,
With mischief in his eyes.
Then, with shrek of wrath that made
My neighbours spirit quail,
The monkey sprang and fixed each fang
In that dogs stumpy tail.
1t scratched and tore the tawny hide
With cruel tooth and nail.
One wild, long yelp that mongrel gave
One cutlery of alright;
Then down the dusky street it fed,
And disappeared from sight
For those who gazed could only see
A yelIOlU Stredk of light.
The monkey from its trip returned;
It's look was cute and keen;
But nevermOre about our town
That yellow dog was seen;
And now we sink to sweet repose-
Our slumbers are serene.

Father J. D. Roban, o. P. the prior of

received the following letter from Father
Lilly, the provincial of the order in the
United States, announcing the death of
the very Rev. Thomas n. Burke:
CONVENT OF ST. VINCENT FERRER, 1863

Rev. and Dear Father: l recommend to

Ia accordance with the recommendation
of the provincial of the order in the Uni
ted States, the Dominican fathers here
will offer up Ill their church on next Thurs
day morning at o'clock a requiem high
mass for the repOse of the soul of the
most eminent member Of the order, the

biographical sketch will doubtless prov

especially to those who read his contrc
versy with James Anthony Froude, tn
historian, some twelve years ago, in thi
country:
AT the age of II he went to Rome an
from thence to Perugia, where he entere

and for the next seven years he was busi
employed in the care of the new establis
ment and in giving missions in ditfere
parts of Ireland.
He was next sent to Rome as superi
of the monastery of Irish Dominicans
San Clemente. After the death of Care

Manning as preacher of the Lenten ST

Maria del Popolo. He continued

Iarity as an orator. His celebrated series
of lectures in answer TO Mr. Froude, the
historian, on the relations between Eng-
land and Ireland. caused much excitement
and produced an animated controversy"
Tue American press without exception
acknowledged shat Father Tom had the
best OF the debate, and Mr.. Froude, finding
him such formidable antagonist, sud
denly started for Eugland. To those ac-
quain o ! with the writings Of j. A. Froude
1t il unnecessary to state that be is not re-
markable for veracity- The exposure of
the inaccuracies in his Life of Mary,
Queen of Scots" by James f. MeIine of
New York made Henry Ward Beecher de-
clare that he was totally untrustworthy as
historian, and that he seemed not to
know the use of quotation marks.
Wendell Phillips said of the debate:
Every statement of the Englishman, L
think, is fals false in this sense: That 1t
clutched at every idle tale which reflected
on Ireland, while it subjected to just and
merciless scrutiny every story that told
against England'' Both the priest and
the historian were respectful in their Ian
guage one toward the other, Father Burke
always styling him the learned historian" ."
In his last reply to Froude's defamation of
| the Irish character, Father Burke said: 1T
is better to laugh at Mr.. Froude than to
fiown on him" At that time he Travelled
through the United States, and often since
did he speak in high praise of this favored
land. He lectured in the principal cities
of the country, and demonstrated to the
admiring multitudes who focked to hear
him how the fire, eloquence, pathos, vigor.

been famous could be concentrated in one

The announcement of the death Oi
Father Burke will bring sorrow to the
heart of every irishman and friend ot

prayers and regrets of a race for whom he
labOred and lived will rise to God for the
eternal repoSe of the good maA's soul.

CHILD NATURE.

Nay, have we not ourselves the re-
membrance of time, when, having
striven with all the might of. our child
nature to overcome a defect or to do
some good deed, we hungered for a
word of commentator and encourage
ment, but we hungered in vain. We
possibly can even now recall the pang
which almost rent our hearts asunder
when, instead of the recognition Of cur
starving, we were rated on the manifes-
tation of another and different fault.
Let us not then forget child-nature is
the same to-day as it was "when VIC

A RACE FOR Il WIFE.

No crime in Lapland, saving that OF
murder, is punished more severely or
summarily than is the marrying of
young woman against the express wishes
of her parents. Those worse crimes are
wholly unknown in that chilly, somber
cline. The blood of the people never
boils, save with that anger or indigna--
ton which is inseparable from sense,
and warmth of spirit is thing called
Into being by the will, rather than an
involuntary passion making the whole,
body captive.
A Lapland courtship is rather pleas
ant conception, and one under which
the rights of all are preserved. Ayonng
lady is not forced to look a suitor IN the,
eye and tell him she does not love him :.
nor shall she be forced to give heY rea--
SONS for refusing. Nothing Of the KIDD.
The parent, o. the damsel, wher her
hand has be,p asked in marriage by cne
whom trey are willing to accept, say to
one arnth- +. - Now, see. If our daugh-
ter will lave il,;s man, we Will accept
him for a soa:: Let the case be decided,
even as it was decided when Lulea of
the Glen turned in her fight and bowed
the head to Lapp-Alten. 1t shall be
DONE"
Accordingly, information is given TO
the damsel that a suitor has applied for
her hand. Perhaps she knows the
young man, while it may be that she
has never seen him. However, on
day appointed, the damsel and her pr
ents, with their chief friends, together
with the suitor and his friends, come to-
gether and sit at meat; the suitOr and
the object of his desires being placed
opposite to one another, 50 that they
can converse freely, and each view the
others face.
When the feast is concluded the COM
pany repair to an open space, where the
Grace for a wife, is to be run. The
distance marked off is generally about
two English furlongs-or quarter of a
mile-and the girl is let out in advance
of the starting point about the third Of
the whole distance, so that if she be at
all fleet of foot, and so desires, she can
easily avoid the suitOr for, If he do
not overtake her before she reaches the
end Of the race, she is free, and he may
never trouble her again.
In this way, it may be seen, q modest
maiden is spared all perplexity, or pos
sible shame Of refusal. If she does not
wish the young man for husband, she
has but to keep her back to him, and
make for the goal, which she IS sure to
reach if she wishes while, on the other
hand, if the suitor has pleased her, and
she will have him, she has only to lag in
her flight, and allow him to oyertake
her, and, if she be particularly struck
If she would signify to the lover that his
love is returned-she can run short
distance, then stop and turn, and invite
him with open arms.
The Lapps are not moral people, noE
excessively honest, but their marriage
relations are, as rule, happy and
peaceful.

THE WASHINGTON MoNUMENr.

A splendid elevator, which cost about
$40, 900, and is the highest in the world,
carried us up. The elevator at the top
supports on its four corner tubes the
four cranes which lay the stone. if ne
cessary, on the four sides at once. A
little railroad brings in the great blocks
OF stone, weighing from two to six tons
apiece, and places them on the elevator,
with low car beneath the stone. The
elevator is open, and [ had to sit down
and hug the stone to avoid dizziness
and the terrible tumble down the stone
shaft. The elevator ascends very delib-
erately and smoothly. and will carry ten
tons. AS the monument is built up
ward, the elevator is mortised into it,
and continues to rise twenty feet at a
time.
The blocks of marble, seven feet long
and two feet square, ere set as easily
as bricks in French lime and Portland
cement. The block we went up with
was in its place in ten minutes. The
walls at the bottom are fifteen feet
thick, and at that point, if there were
no cavity, would make solid shaft of
stone thirty feet thick. At the point
where they are now setting stone the
walls are only seven feet thick, and at
the top, 500 feet above the ground, will
be only foot and half thick. The
exterior, or facing of marble, is only
four-sevenths of the present thickness.
The lining, Of Cape Ann granite, is
jointed through at certain spots with the
marble to unite the two sorts of stone
more thoroughly. No iron is used for
bolts and riyets anywhere. Each mar
BILE stone, as described, when put into
place has cost $75. The marble is quar-
, ried about sixty miles from the monu-
ment.
The $50 feet of the shaft finished
nearly tdirty years ago is miserable work
compared to the present, and the irreg-
ular stone of that period are the only
suggestions of weakness about the edi-
flee. The monument can be finished in
three years. 1t Will have lantern or
cupola on the top, of iron, fifty feet
higher than the masonry, making $50
feet in all. Every foot of the shaft has
been underpinned with a solid apron OF
platform of stone 100 feet square. All
the top thirteen men work constantly,
quiet as pigeons In a barn-cote. The
immense fort of stone at that great
height is beautiful in its symmetry, as
large as a comfortable dwelling. The
view is already grand, comprising the
whole District of Columbia and many
miles of Virginia. The city looks like g
mass of loose stones carelessly cast ovel
the plain, with some toy public build
ings lying between.- Washington letter.
