A shout whose joy, half psalm and half prayer,
Rings far out over the encircling seas;
And, as its echoes slit the trembling air,
The Stars and Stripes fly out upon the breeze.
That matchless flag. whose silken folds enroll
All that is noble in splendid race
Firing with pride each patriotic soul,
And marking Freedoms fash from place to
place!
Peal on, We bells! Flash forth, ye beacon-tres
Ring out, We cheers from loyal bosoms hurled
RISE, waiting minstrel, tune your eager Tyres,
And sing a Nations birthday to the world!
The day that checked tyrant's ruthless hand
That vainly strove to stay peoples will
The day when chains became as ropes OF SAND.
When Freedom spoke and all the world stood
still.
Let the Nations sing OF pomp and war,
OF bloody conquest, battles fought and won
Our pecan, that goes swelling from afar
In Joyous strains to meet the rising sun,
Tells how Nation, born mid deadly strife,
Lives in glory that can never cease,
And seeks through all the coming years of life
Naught save splendid reign Of lasting peace.

You to do now," exclaimed Judith, indicat

The Colonel came near remarking that
it was a hot day for such employment;
that they might ruin the parade; that he
was not the owner of the calf, and that the
surrounding atmosphere was not fit for q
lady to linger in. Silently, however, he
tied up his horses in the shade, and handed
Judith out to secluded seat upon log.
Then he went to the nearest farmhouse
and borrowed spade. He chose spot
near the calf and excavated with vigor
which soiled both boots and hands. Occa

The Fourth of July as a holiday fills
It's measure OF pain and OF Joy
Affecting the man with its manifold ills,
Delighting the soul of the boy.
When bombs and torpedoes are tearing the air
And rockets are soaring on high,
No wonder the nervous folks shiver or swear
But hurrah for the Fourth OF July.
TITS sad at time of such blistering heat
To shut yourself tight in the shell,
To keep out the terrible din of the street
And the odous sulphurous smell.
When the small boy alone is abroad in the
land,
When old people tremble and fly
From the shots aud the shouts and the bray OF
the band.
Then hurrah for the Fourth of july
When midnight at last draws vail DER the
scene
And the firing no longer we fear,
How restful the thought and how sweetly
serene,
That it comes only once in year,
AS our glorious forefathers suffered and died.
We suffer, although we don't die;
But we look from the past to the present with
pride,
And hurrah for the Fourth of July.
The tumultuous ranks of the boys Of to-day
Our guards OF the future supply,
And liberty grows in that riotous way;
So hurrah for the Fourth Of July!

CROSSING THE LINE.
The Story Of One Fourth Of July
at Sea.
Written for This Paper.1

To see my spare spars at the present
time and view the jury mast wear for a
backbone, around which my summer gear
flaps idly in the sultry breeze this warm
weather, you would scarcely suspect that
/ lay claim to being an old Jack-salt. Why
running rigging may need overhauling
and my old hull be little the worse for
wear, my boy, but you may punch my top
lights, if can't reef, hand, steer, box the
compass or shift the quid equal to any old
sea-dog of your acquaintance. I am one of
Neptune's sons, legitimately baptised in
the equatorial bowl on the Fourth of July
almost twenty years ago. Those were days
when the rich merchants son had no better
chance to crawl aft through the cabin win
dows than did the son of poor fisherman's
widow. Both commenced their nautical
career as boys before the mast and fought
their way upward and won promotion ac-
cording to their merits. Nowadays, the
rich mans son passes an examination at
naval academy and takes his different de-
grees like collegiate landswab until he is
declared proficient in navigation. Had
their nautical educations been acquired in
the good old-fashioned way, there would
be less bones bleaching in the caverns of
the sea and less widows mourning for
brave Jack salts, who have lost their lives
through the ignorance of the kid-gloved
navigators of modern days.
But am getting ahead of my tow-ropel
started to tell you about Fourth of July
at sea On board an American merchant
man. Dash my topsails, boys it makes
my blood Jingle with pleasure to think of
the good old days when my blood was made
to tingle by ropes end. It don't seem to
be more nor yesterday since made my
first voyage round the cape-bu'st my
stunsils if it does!
It was along the latter part of June, two
or three years after the war, when our

A MARRYING RACE.
The Unromantic Way In Which the Turk
Select Their Brides.

The Unromantic Way In Which the Turks
Select Their Brides.
In Turkey every body marries young,
and, one might perhaps be permitted to
add, those who can afford it marry often
Such thing as an old maid is absolutely
unknown among the Turks. They are
marrying race, and as a general thing the
girls are married off by the time they
reach their teens, and often year or two
before Turk may possibly fall in lose
with his wife after their marriage, but it
wouldn't be very easy for his affections to
antedate this ceremony, for the first time
he ever sets eyes on her face is in
the nuptial chamber, after the wedding
guest having retired. When a young
Turk becomes old enough to marry, then
his mother and few confidential female
friends undertake to find him wife. In
body they call upon such of their neigh
bors as are blessed with manageable
daughters and state their mission in
business-like way. The daughters are
trotted out for inspection much as though
they were young colts or calves offered for
SALE The wife hunters look the daughters
over critically, question the mother and
partake OF coffee. In few minutes the
daughter that has been inspected retires
from tue room. II ner appearance mas
failed to please the visitors nothing more is
said. II, however, they are favorably i'm
pressed, they linger and enter into nego-
tiations for her hand in marriage to the
youth in question. The girls age, health,
trousseau and kindred
matters are inquired into in the most
matter-of-fact way. The mother of the
damsel on her part, inquiries quite as min
utely into the merits and dement's of the
husband.-T Times.

rations and Teach watch was given a
bottle of grog to drink to the health of the
Government under whose flag they sailed
the glorious Stars and Stripes. A cracked
violin, a MANNED banjo and broken-keyed
concertina furnished music in the evening,
and the motley crew, of most all nations,
joined themselves in the enjoyment and
celebration at sea of the birthday of liberty
for American people-the never-to-be-for

from Time Immemorial
wish some one would explain to me why
doctors-whether consciously or uncon-
sclously-cause our passing ailments to be-
come such source of revenue to the drug
gist. II one has an acute attack of-well,
say bilious colic-the M. D comes, and be-
sides the necessary equipment of rubber
water bags, and flannel, and mustard plas-
tiers, and fiaxseed poultices, there is bot
tie of red liquor price fifty cents for maui
sea, and white one for aiding digestion
price seveDty-hve cents), and box Of
powders for relieving pains price seventy
i've cents. The next morning the
medicine is changed. The bottles, with
only couple of teaspoonfuls gone
from either, are put aside, and
more seventy-five and fifty -cent bot
ties ordered in. The next day
these (still three-quarters fulD are put
away and dollar bottle of tonic and box,
OF pills brought in. Two days after. the
tonic-still only half consumed-is set
aside, another dollar bottle of different
tonic substituted, with the addition Of
box of powders. While that relay of nIedi-
cine is still to the front the patient gets
well and goes down town. He has on hand
a druggists bill Of about six dollars. two
thirds of which is for the medicine "rem-
nants" which he can only throw away.
Now, surely the physician had some con-
ception how many doses the patient would
need of each awful notion, and why every
time write out for one stomach prescrip-
tion which would suffice for hospital
