OUR WOMEN HEROES

There are heroes for dangers dheroes for war
And heroes there are without chevron or scar,
Whose monuments rise in no temple OF fame
Whose deeds neither herald nor trumpet proclaim
The mothers who gave their brave sons to the fray
With tears for their slumber and smiles for the
day;
The wives with their babies asleep in their arms.
Their hearts throbbing fast at the battle alarms
The girl leaning shy on her young lovers breast
One KISS, It's the last ere hs soul is at rest
The widow who passed from the freshly turned
sod
To comfort the wounded. or speed them to God
No soldier eer answ cred the call OF the drum,
Bnt left woman weeping until he should come;
No hero eer died in the heat OF the strife.
But woman in sorrow hung over his life.
o. brave woman berries, your fai tn and your pride
Have urged TO the conquest. have eheered those
who died;
Your prayers have lit the rough paths OF defeat
TIL glory blaZed over the lines OF retreat.
Where carnage ran reddest, and woman was seen
All eyes were uplfted, as 'twcre 10 queen
Now open ranks. comra des salute her once more
ntitled. uncheyroned, but dear as OF yore

On an Apple DUMPING.

1t may be worth noting that in the last
century q native of Cumberland was
prompted TO write poem in laudatory
strain on the virtues and under the title
of ''The Apple Dumpling." 1t appeared
first, circa 1770-75, in The Town and
Country Magazine, above the signature
ofPygmalion, the writer (as his "Poems," P"
1778, show being Charles Graham, of
Penrith. A few of the lines l venture
to quote as unique on such theme, and
of value in the description of an old
north country dish. Graham is evident
ly in sympathy with his subject:
The task be mine
To sing British apple dumpling's praise.
Sumatra's fruit
We court not; Britain's fertile isle brings forth
The mellow apple.
When from the reeking cavern's mouth thou'rt
brought
Short respite we allow thee; now with speed
Thou'rt placed conspicuous in china vase,
COR sometimes dost descend to humble delD,
While round thy [thef polishd sides redundant
flows
Nectarous juice In most delicious floods.
Ofttimes I've seen thee Charming to relate) lscl
Ride buoyant on the stream, with head erect
And honest front float round the dish audacious.
But when thou boastest a more gigantic size
Enormous, massy, ample, long and huge

tice Miller in suit before him between
John B. Kirby and John Scott, each
claiming the ownership to a certain car
rier pigeon, which was brought into
court in charge of an officer. Justice
Miller, in order to settle the ownership
beyond question, ordered the pigeon
placed in the hands of two disinterested
persons, who took it four miles south of
the city and released it. After 1t had
started, two chasers were sent up by
Kirby, and Scott followed suit by releas-

when out Of doors is full Of rain
look out through the window pane
And see the branches Of the trees
Like people dancing TO the breeze
They bow politely, cross and meet,
Salute their partners and retreat
And never stop to rest until
They reach the end Of the quadrille.
l listen and hear the sound
OF music floating all around,
And fancy tits the Breeze who plays
Upon his harp on stormy days
The strings are made Of rain, and when
The branches wish to dance again
They whisper TO the Breeze and he
Begins another melody.
I've heard him play the pretty things
Upon those slender, shining strings;
And when he's done--he's very sharp
He always hides away the harp

practicability Of the plan, we con-
sentsd to wait and assist them In
theT endeavors TO supply us Witn
this substitute for the more respee-
table craft we had contemplated
building. After duly consulting the
old prophecies, the principal chiefs
were assembled, and having agreed
to take for the purpose the largest
bread-fruit tree on the island, the
people were called upon to meet at
the spot where it stood, and assist in
cutting 1t down. Matters ofso great
Importance required deliberation In
the operation of planning out the
work,-but the accomplishment of
an undertaking like that of telling so
large a tree, with tools even less
adapted to the business than the
teeth of n beaver, was one that took
several days. At length the hercu-
lean task was performed, and the
tree fell! But judge of our feelings
on finding that the trunk, which we
had hoped to render so useful in con-
veying US to some place from which
we could obtain a passage to our ma
tive land, had In falling, become so
split as to be good for nothing. 1t
seemed to us that cruel fate had
ordained, that no labor Of our hands
should prosper.
Another tree was selected, and
with that we were more successful.
We then commenced digging it out,
and bringing it to proper shape.
The old chisels were now put in re-
QUESTION; and, i'm twenty-eight days
from the time we began, we had
succeeded i'm bringing that part of
our labor to a close. OF the other
tree we made two wide planks,
which we fastened to the upper edges
of the canoe, thereby adding very
considerably to its capacity. Two
months more were consumed in fit
ting up our canoe with sails, and
getting it ready for sea.
Having proceeded thus far, it was
deemed proper by the natives to
have another festival; and, as our
labors, in this instance, had been at
tended with better success, eXtraor-
dinary preparations were made for
feast that should do honor to the oc-
casion. An immense quantity of
fish had been obtained; the females
brought large quantities of bread
fruit, cocoanuts and yams; and the
toll of months was forgotten in the
joy which then prevailed.
