Captain Mayne Reid.

OF Captain Mayne Reid's boyhood we
hear little, except that his father, a
Presbyterian minister, designed him for
the pulpit.
The clerical profession was not to his
taste, and at the age of twenty he left
his tutors and his tasks. to cross the
sea.
Landing in New Orleans, he began a
career of adventure in the wilds of
America. He made two excursions up
the Red River, and ascending the
Missouri, explored the vast prairies
which the wave of civilization had not
then reached He afterward travelled
extensively in the States, writing de-
scriptions of his journeys for the news
paper press.
He was thus employed when, in 1S45,
war between the United States and
Mexico broke out, and young Reid
threw himself ardently into the strug-
gle as a volunteer. He greatly distin-
guished himself by his bravery at the
ceived painful wound, from the effects
of which he frequently suffered.
The war over, Captain Reid resigned
his commission. But the spirit of ad-
venture was reused in him again when
the Hungarian struggle for freedom en-
listed the sympathies of liberty-loving
people everywhere; and in 1S49 he
organized in New York body of men
to Join it. He had arrived in Paris, on
his way to Hungary, when news
reached him of the failure of the insur
rection.
Reid then retired to England and set
tied down to literary work, and there
in his home he lived the life of a quiet
country gentleman, devoting himself to
literature and rural pursuits.-J T..

SONG OF THE JERSEY.

With fingers tired and stiff.
With muscles swollen and sore,
"A maiden stood in gros grain silk,
Viewing her Jersey DER.
Sad. sad, sad,
Then wickedly winking her eye.
She cried aloud. like lunatic madt
I'll put you on or die"
Stretch, stretch. stretch.
With. her tongue most bitton In two.
And stretch. stretch stretch.
Till her head came peeplng through
With means and signs and tears,
With tears and sighs and moans,
She paved the air, fell over q chair.
And filled the room with groans.
Sick. sick. sick,
She lay for a week In bed,
Sick, sick, sick,
With pain that racked her hcads
While in closet dark
The naughty Jersey laid,
Twas torn 10 shreds, twas rent In twain.
And sorry was the maid.
