Gov. Duyal, of Florida, was the son
of poor Vrginian, stern, strong, tao
iturl man. The boy was huge youth
of Is. At the cabin fire, at bed time,
according to the custom of putting on a
back log, the old man said, between the
whlffs Of his silent pipe:
Tab, go out and bring in that gum
back log and put it on the fire."
Tab went out and SURVEYED the log.
He knew it vas of no use explaining
that it was too heavy, nor prudent for
him to return without having it on his
shoulder. His little sister, passing, was
not surprised that he requested her to
bring out the gun and powder horn, as
possum or coon might have passed, or
the brother might have seen bear signs.
She brought the gun and Tab started.

OF eighteen years he was elected to Con-

strength, he started for Washington,
going by the way of his old home, to
see the old folks who had long since
given him up for dead. Entering the
little cabin door near bed time, he saw
the Identical gum log. He shouldered
it, pulled the latch string and with his
load stood before the old man, pipe IL

Oh, gates Of icel long have ys
held cur beloveds.
Ye Cruel how could We keep Srcn rs
thera for whom orr hearts yearned; our
dear ones, cur fathers, our children. our
brothers, our lovers
Cali and Sheet, Darkness and Ice |
lard have ye held them; re would not
let them so.
Their hands We have bound fast; their
fee, We have detained; and well have We
laid hold upon the hearts OF our be-
loveds.
Oh, silent Arctic Night thou has,
wooed from Us our dear, our only ones.
Oh, secret Of the white and unknown
world too strong hast thou been for Us;
We were as nothing 10 thee; thou hast
drawn them from US; thou wouldst not
let them go.
The long day passed; thou wouldst
not let them go.
The long, long night came and went;
thou wouldst not let them go.
Oh. thou insat.ate why didst thou
keep them from US?
What TO thee is youth, and life, and
hope and love?
For thou art Death, not life; thou art
Despair, not hope.
Nought to thee the rush OF youthful
blood; naught to thee the beauty and
| strength of our beloyeds.
The breath Of their bodies is not sweet
to thee; they loved thee, thou lovedst
| not them.
They followed thee, thou didst not
look upon them; but still, oh, thou in
violate still did they follow thee.
Thee did they follow, through storm
through perils of the ice, and Of the un-
known darkness.
The sharp spears of the frost they
! feared not: the terrors of death they
feared not; for tLee, tur thee, for thee,
not for Us: only that they might look
upon thy fice.
All these they endured for thee; the
though. Of US whom yet they loved, this
also they endured for thee.

Long, long have they tarried IL thy
gat; s, oh, North =,
But now thou hast given them up.
Lo, they come to us once more-our be-
Ioveds, our only ones.
On, dearest, why have We stayed so
long.
With We, night and day have come
and gone, bat with US there was night
only.
But no, we will not reproach We,
hearts .of our hearts-dearest and best;
our fathers, our children, our brothers,
our lovers.
Come back to US Behold our arms
are open for We; ye are ours; We have re-
turned unto US; We shall never go hence
again.
But why are We silent, why do We not
stir, why do We not speak to us, oh, be-
loveds?
r, White are your cheeks like snow; your
eyes they do not look upon us.
Gone so long, and is this your Joy to
see us once more?
Lo, do We not welcome We? Are not
our souls GID? Do not our tears, long
kept, rain nDon your faces?
Do ye'sfeep then, after those hard and
weary labors On. now awaken, for We
shall take rest and pleasure-here are
your homes and kindred.
Listen, beloved, here is your sister,
here is yone brother, here is your lover
They will not hearken to our voices.
They are still; their eyes look not
upon us.
Oh, insatiate, oh, Secret of the white
and unknown world, cruel indeed thou
art.
Thou hast sent back to us our be-
| beloveis; their bodies thou hast rendered
! up, but their spirits thou hast taken

In life thou didst hold them from us
| and in death they are thine.

Sahara desert. 1t is we'll watered and

able British and American generals in

among whom were SIR Samuel Baker,
General Gordon and General Stone
