Ensign Ems.

Ensign Epps at the battle of Flanders,
Sowed a seed of glory and duty
That flowers and flames in height and beauty
Like crimson lily with heart of gold
To-day, when the wars of Client are old
And buried as deep as their dead commanders
Ensign Epps the color-hearer-
No matter on which side Philip or Earl;
Their cause was the shell-hs deed was the pearl.
Scarce more than lad. he had been a sharer
That day in the widest work of the field.
he was wounded and spent, and the fight was lost.
His comrades were slain, or scattered host.
But stainless and scathless, out of the strife
He had carried his colors safer than life,
BY the rivers brink without weapon or shield.
He faced the victors. The thick heart mist
he dashed from his eyes, and the silk he kissed
Ere he held it aloft in the setting sum-
AS proudly as if the fight were won,
And he smiled when they ordered him to yield
Ensign Epps with his broken blade
Cut the silk from the gded staff
w hich he poised like spear till the charge was made
And hurled at the leader with laugh.
Then round his breast, like the scarf of his love-
He tied the colors his heart above,
And plunged in his armor into the tide
And there, in his dress of honor died
Where are the lessons your kinglings teach?
And what is text of your proud commanders!
Out of the centuries, heroes reach
With the scroll of deed with the word of story
OF one mans truth and of all mems glory,
Like Ensign Epps at the battle of Flanders.

built me CASTLE strong-portaed and high;
Its minarets pierced to the dome of the sky;
It's towers were crowned with the clouds overhead
Its battlements hammered with purple and red.
1t stood by stream
That was crystal as truth;
1t was built in dream
In the time of my youth;
And said to myself, will shut myself in,
And laugh at the arrows of sorrow and sin.
It's bitches were deep, and set them afoat;
Its portals were guarded by draw-bridge and moat;
My sword was unsheathed and my banners unfurled,
And my bugle blew challenge out into the world.
laughed as I thought
How the story would rum
When the battle was fought
And the victory won
That safe in assault from all pillage and ruth,
My valor had kept the fair castle of youth.
Alas my defiance and valor were vain
host of grim warriors came over the plain,
They waded the Inoat. they assembled the wall;
They captured the battlements, banners and all;
My weapons were cast
To the earth as fed,
And the arrows fell fast
On the way that sped.
Oh, heart hurts sore, but my sorrow and dole
Is deeper for wounds in the wings of my SOUL
That castle-last night beheld it again;
A ruin it stands in the midst of the plain.
Foul things are creeping about in the hail.
And owlets Matched on the battlement wall.
The vale is beset
And. with bugle and hounds.
The foe tracks me yet
By the blood of my wounds
Alas for the castle built by the stream,
visit it only by stealth--whenI dream.

Marriage In the Episcopal Church.

NOW YORK Mail and Express,
In the Episcopal Church, while it is not called
sacrament, marriage is still considered a sacra-
mental rite, and such the church claims juris-
diction over it, This being the case, the report
of the committee on marriage and divorce in the
Chicago convention can readily be understood
That report recommends, among other things,
that no marriage be celebrated by priest with
out the reading of the banns in church previous
~, and that no marriage be regarded as regular
unless solemnzed in church by an ordained
clergyman. AS the cergymen of other churches
are not regarded by Episcopalians rs regularly
ordained, it follows that no marriage solemnzed
by Baptist or Congregationalist minister. for
instance, can be looked upon as regular" by
Epscopalans. If this distinction were rigorous.
~ carried out in the social world 1t would make
trouble but it will doubtless be regarded by the
Epscopalian portion of society" as meant in q
Pickwickian sense.
