THE ARMY OF TYPES.


o. orious fame is the fame of the fray
For the banner of stars aud of Strlpesl
But the m ghtiest soldiers OF al are they
Who march in the army OF types
How they come at the wave Of the captain
hanG.
How ihey gather with rattle and click
And leap to the ranks at the silent command,
On the forming ground Of the stick.
And whether it storm or whether il shine,
And ever by day and by night.
With click. click, click. they iall into line,
And march away to tine fight.
Each soldier moves on in his squad Of a word,
To the drum OF the age In the van,
And armed with a two-edred. invisible sword,
That cuts through The spirit of man.
Where ignorance sits on her shadowv thrones,
Built round by the walls OF Old night
They crumble and crush into powder the
stones,
And letin the Iegions Of light.
Where tyranny reigns with his foot and his
yoke
On the neck OF the poor aud the just,
They cease net to smite till the letters are
broke
And the tyrant is laid in the dust.
o, army Of freedom and army Of light.
o, host Of our God! battle on!
Till the people shall rule in their Cod given
right.
And the long night Of error is gone!
o, glorious fame is the fame Of the fray
For the banner Of stars and uf stripes
But the mightiest soldiers of an are they
Who march in the army of types

of the gardens of this curious people.

plats, and IN many cases are not larger
than eight feet square. The flowers and
shrubs grow in pots that are deliberately
Ornamented, and there is generally a

bridge built across it. The public schools

Joshua Il. Giddings as a Duelist.
CkeTeId1d Leader

Giddings had made some fiery remarks
on abolition and the South on the floor Of
the Senate. In this he drew a Southern
Senator rather roughly over the Goals.
The Senator became very angry, and sent
him a challenge. He would have an
apology or blood. Giddings accepted the
challenge, but he wrote that he was I'M
acquainted with the use Of the pistol or
other firearms. As challenged party, he
had the choice of the weapons. He would
name rawhides, tough, long. and wirey.
The two c0mbatants should have the
thumbs or their left hands bound tightly
together, and with rawhides in their
right should casugate each other until
one gave in. The Southerner refused TO
accept the challenge, and the matter
dropped. Had he accepted it Giddngs,
who was Il tall, muscular fellow, would
have cut him to pieces.

The Orthodox shane of Mince Pie.
PAIL MN G1zeffe

Most people unwIttingly commit a
dreadful heresy over the ordinary Christ
mas mince pie. Its usual shape at the
present time IS ronnd. Four centuries
ago to eat a round mince pie would be TO
stigmatize yourself as a Jew or hereto.
The orthodox shape is long oval. 1t
was doubtless meant 20 represent the
cradle in Bethlehem, and tradition furth-
er asserts that the strange mixture which
makes the mince represents the fruits and
spice with which the three kings in the
legend filled the cradle.

Diplomacy, According to "MOnsieur."
The French Figaro publishes the fol-
lowing amusing incident. which is SAID to
have taken place during one Of the state
dinners at Berlin, and at which the late
Lord Beaconstield and the Marquis OF
Salisbury were present.
Prince Bismarck, who is well known to
be a great eater, filled his plate with
cherries; the Marquis Of Salisbury OBJ
served it.
Prince" said he suddenly, "what you
are doing is very unhealthy"
"What?" said Prince Bismarck, in as
constituent.
You have just swallowed two cherry
stones"
SYou are mistaken" said the Prince,
with marked coldness.
"Neyerw replied Salisbury, with that
hauteur which characterizeS the proud
English aristOcracy.
monsieur lie Marqus!" said Bismarck,
his eyes shooting fire.
1t was at this moment that Lord Bea-
constield came to the rescue.
"Perhaps,' he ms nuated, in his sottest
voice, s'you are both right; your HighnesS
must be so occupied with serious thoughts
that you might inadvertently have swat
lowed tiny stone"
Two" interrupted Salisbury, in de-
cided tone.
''Or two" continued Lord Beaconsfeld,
as calmly as possible; "and you, my dear
Lord and colleague, enjoy such good sight
that nothing escapes you. Now, Prince
and Marquis, will you allow me to decide
this difficult question:"
"HoW?r murmured Bismarck.
'tYour plate, Highness, il you please"
This last was in English, the correspon-
! dent adding that Lord Beaconstield was
the only diplomatic at Berlin who never
/ talked French. The plate was sent TO
Lord Beaconsfield, who at once emptied

4 agile fingers. covered with precious
stones, he began to arrange what looked
more like child's game than an occupa-
tion worthy OF such a distinguished slim
lister. He put all the stones in a line, aud
placed a stem on each stone. Then, in
that clear, piercing voice that has so often
moved the House of Commons, the Eng
lish Prime Minister began to count one,
two, three and so on to forty seven stones,
and likewise with the stems, till he had
counted forty-nIne. The proof was there

There is no answer for some time to their
