been brought into general application, in

A bright-eyed young man from Maine
wandered into Delmonicos, on Broad
street on Saturday. and met some old
acquaintances. The young man asked
them all where Secretary Bayard was to
be found He understood that the Secre-
tary was in the city and he wanted to
swap codfshing stories with the august
Secretary of State It seems that the
Secretary was at York, Me-, several years
ago and became fascinated with deep cod
fishing. You go out in a sloop and haul
them in from a twenty fathom line. The
Secretary proved dandy fisherman, ac-
cording to the young man, but the citi-
zens of the town haven't quite forgotten
the style put on by the Secretary when
fishing. He wore lemon colored kid
gloves when pulling in his line, and as
the dripping line would spoil pair after
two or three fish were pulled in, the Sec
retary's supply Of faney-colored kid gloves
had to be frequently replenished

ROSY MORN.
The morning sits and swings

The morning sits and swings
In her hammock Of rose and gold, : &
Her feet Just touch the sea,
And the hem Of her garments fold;
She waits a breath to me .
OF the blossoms Of hope and love,
AS swinging TO and fro
She croons like the brooding dove.
Sing soft, swing low, oh, rosy morni
Clasp 10 thy breast the day, new born.
The morning swings far ont
Ger the foam Of the misty seas,
And lights with rosy glow
The tops Of the tallest trees;
The sleeping flowers wake
AZ the touch Of her quick Ming lips,
And drink the dewy showers
That fall from her finger tips.
Sing soft, swing low. oh, rosy morn,
Clasp 10 thy breast the day, new bors.
