Harp OF the West, so long unstrung,
By minstrel long untouched, untried,
Come from thy bough, in silence hung,
And teach tiny song IN verse to glide.
/ wake nc song of Knightly deed,
Where helmet crashed in battle course;
I sing bu a SOM Of a noble steed:
Teacn me some charm the muse to move,
Nor deem me rash In this my course,
For sing ] not of puny love,
A uobler theme be mine-the horse.
Blithely. one summer day, at dawn,
Was heard the hunters winded horn,
Inc stag-nound's cry 10 gathering band,
To chase the buck on Prairie Grande,
With hounds shrill cry and hunters shout
They HE them forth, a merry rout
10 the banks OF Bayou Two,
Straight TO the open plain they steer
And urge the dogs with whoop and cheer,
To search the cover of the deer
And run the wild buck through.

The first fare over the big Brook
lyn bridge was paid by New York re-
porter. If the cent was not borrowed
for the occasion it goes to show that the
rumors about the New York journalists
being underpaid are grossly exagger-
ated. Perhaps the cent was counter
felt, or the reporter may have picked it
up, or possibly the whole story is a
newspaper sensation, gotten up for eff
feet. At all events, it was highly I'M
professional for the reporter to have
paid his way. Journalism seems to be
in its infancy in New York if reporters
actually pay cash for anything they

The maiden is folded TO his breast;
On her brow the holy blossoms rest;
Tick, took! tick, tockl

AS echoing this thro' future timel
Still, to my heart beats that measured rhyme

said that more than once. When
Gen. Lee used the same form of eX-
preston he interrupted him, insisting
that but one nation was represented
by both of them. His whole idea, as
understood by his auditors, was to

that II was not two foreign nations

but paternal government, which
having sufficiently, chastised &

said that he sat down at the table in
the memorable Mclean farmhouse
and wrote out the terms of the surren'

the laying of telegraphic cables is
now so common that the description
OF the machinery for picking up a
broken one will be read with interest.

wires of fine steel. The grapnel ut the

which much resemble the partly closed
fingers of the human hand. In pick
ing up the cable in deep water, the
Nina, after reaching the waters near
the break, lets out her rope and Crap
mel, then takes a course at right angles
10 the cable and at soms distance from
the fracture, so that the broken ends
may not slip through the grapnel.
The grapnel rope is attached toa dyna-
mometer, which exactly measures the
strain on the rope, and shows uner-
ringly when the cable has been caught.
