A NAMELESS HERO.

BY E NJ Iha9UA1h.
This is the song of nameless man,
Listen awhile till the deed is told
OF one who ventured his life to save
Another's. but not for fame or gold.
Winter had been both hard and long;
Spring set in, and the brooklets ran,
Swamping the meadows and breaking the ice
Into mighty blocks. Then the foods began.
Red and roaring, the rushing stream
On its heaving bosom the ice blocks bore;
Stemmed at length by bridge of might,
1t foamed and crashed with q sudden roar.
Crashed and dashed on the piers Of stone;
They yield at last to the fearful strain;
The centre arch, and the keepers house
And helpless inmates alone remain.
Fiercer and fiercer roars the flood.
Wilder the wind in the stormy sky.
The keeper springs to the rocking roof
Mercy, have mercy, great God on high!
Help for my helpless wife and child"
They heard him loud DER tho torrents roar;
Help, alas! there IS none to bring;
No boat could live if it left the shore.
Whose steed comes galloping hot with haste,
And stops by the river raging wild?
Count Alien, who offers red gold to him
Who'll save the keeper with wife and child.
Ears, a thousand, the offer heard,
Hearts, u thousand, with grief are sore;
They look at the ice, the food and the sky,
But never u DOdC1nan leaves tle SI1Ore.
"Boatmen, then, are We towards all!
And must they perish within our sight:
Try it yourself! Lord Count" they cried,
"Alas!'' said he, - for my strength is slight
Out from the crowd a wagner steps,
A boat is launched with the speed of thought
Twill save but one with his mighty weight. .tils
But his arm is strong, and he cares for naught
Thrice he guides her with giant strength,
Mn. hafh ha hnro fa ft,S CHI
Scarce had the last foot touched its planks
When with awful crash the arch fell DER.
Who was this valiant man of men?
A simple laborer, brave and bold;
"Grand was the deed" hear you say.
But still he did it for goods and gold"
Listen, then: Gallant the deed you've done,
And well. said the Count, have you earned
the prize"
Frankly and modestIy answered then
The valiant man with thesfearless eyes:
My life, Lord Count, is not for gold,
Your money all to the keeper give;
Lost in the flood is his little all,
Yet he and his wife and child must live"
With a careless smile he turned and went
This man with the frank and fearless eye;
We sing of his fame, but what was his name
Is known alone to the Lord on high.
-Hurper's Young People.

can be done is to let them each 60 his and
her way. The frequency of these things is
unpleasant reading, but you can't avoid
writing about them if you give the general
items of news.
The week has been shaken with regular
political earthquake. The prizes are great,
but the heelers are many. Several of the
city Offices range between $40, 900 and $780,
600 year, the last figures being attached to
the office of Sheriff. Some of the nomina-
tions are as disgraceful as we'll could be. A
man whose private life is disgraced by the
most disreputable associations, and whose
name is public scandal is up for Office,
and will get it by the votes of the criminals
he will be called upon to sentence. No man
ner of doubt but he will remember and pay
the obligation.
Wednesday came near knocking out the
great railroad and telegraph knocker out,
Wm. H. Vanderbilt. The truth of the story
is that he has got SO in the habit of riding
over people that he thinks everybody must
get out of his way. 1t is only year OF SO
ago since he ran over poor man on Har-
lem Lane and came near killing him. On
Wednesday, while driving around the track
behind his crack team, he ran against Bon
ner's wagon and went down among the ru-
ins of his own. There was no sympathy
expressed for him whatever, and the gen
eraI verdict was if he had broken his neck
of which. by the way. there was a most
excellent chance-his reckless driving fully
deserved it, and it is moderately certain
that the next time he airs his flyers he will
keep the right side of the road, though it
happens to be the left.
The bears have hammered the brains out
of every stock on the list, and have not yet
got through hammering down, down, down
and still going. Nobody is sorry except the
fellows who hold the stocks, and nobody is
glad except the fellows who sold them when
they were up.
We are now to have genuine telegraph
war. The Western Union have got hold of
tough customer in John W. Mackey. Mr..
Gould may be quite whale among small
fish: we will have chance to see how he
looks among whales-and John w. Mackey
is a very large whale. He is a fighter, too,
and not easily frightened at any thing Or
by anybody. Moreover, he can not be
bought, and the reason is that even Jay
Gould can not afford to pay his price.
It is rumored that new electric wire has
been invented which has such remarkable
powers that it is probable that for telegaphic
and telephone purposes it will supercede
every other cable and wire now in use. The
inventor is Ross G. Stone, Esq, the editor
of Bullion, who, by the way, is quite emf
nent as an electrician and as practical tel
egraph man. There are rrmors of wonder
full changes and in this battle of the giants
let Us hope that the public will be benefited.
Tammany seems to be in full control of
the politics of New York. John Kelly is
