A Sigper's Joke.

President Harrison's great-great- grand
father, who was one Of the regicides of
Charles l. was convicted of high treason.
Pepys, in his diary, October 13. 1850,
refers in this comforting way to his execu-
ton: Il went out to Charing Cross to see
Major General Harrison hanged, drawn
and quartered, which was done there, and
he looked as cheerful as any man could do
in that condition"
Exactly 116 years after this event, Ben
iamin Harrison, the father of President
Harrison and the great-grandson of the
good man who departed this life in such
a gentlemanlike manner, according TO
Pepys, had Just signed the Declaration of
Independence in Philadelphia. His
weight was nearly 300 pounds, while that
ofElbridge Gerry, who sat beside him, was
hardly more than that of the late Alex
ander H. Stephens. GERRY, said Harri-
son, you'd better not sign that paper.
There's been some hanging in my family
and we are somewhat used to it. More
over l will have another advantage over
you. 1t will be over with me in q minute.
This pouderosity will crack my neck,
while you'll be kicking and squirming
about in the air long after I'm gone But
Gerry signed the paper even while he and
Harrison roared with laughteE.-BeH:

THE GRAY DAY.


Evermore all the days are long, and the
cherries skies are gray,
Restlessly wander the battling winds that
scatter the binding spray.
And the drifting currents come and go like
serpents across my way.
YEARLY fades the evening dim, drearily wears
the night,
The ghostly mists and the hurrying clouds
and the breakers crest of white
Have blotted the stars from the desolate skies
have curtained them frem my sight.
Sq~cding alone, my wave-tossed bark encoun-
ters no passing sail.
Welcoming friend nor challenging foe an
swers my eager hail
Only the sobbing, unquiet waves ead the
winds unceasing wall
Hopefully stiIl my sails are bent, my pilot IS
faultlessly true.
He holds my course as though the seas and
the mirrored skies were blue,
And the port Of peace, where the winds are
still, were evermore in view.
For over the spray and the rain and the
clouds shines the eternal sun;
The unchanging stars in the curtained dome
still gleam when the day is done;
And the mists will be kissed from the laugh
ing skies when the port Of rest is won
Robert j. BUrdette, in Brooklyn Eagle.
