On the oceans pellucid breast.

AS the notes of the mandolin.
But we wait on the shore in vain to greet
Our ship that never comes in.
This fairy ship we can almost see
In our day dreams glad and bright,

And with never touch of sin.

The lightest of debtors is loaded with duns;
Yet the law of the country is terribly lacking
For nothing is meted the man who makes
This caitiff regards not the feelings of others,
The fiend who can't fee is the victim most
choice;
He will not spare even his sisters or brothers
So fierce bis delight in his asinine voice.
He never says anything worthy the saying;
So brazen is he that his impudence stuns.
He labels himself by perslstently braying:
We class him instanter-the man who makes
puns.
The horrible villain scorns hedges and bushes,
And yet he waylays US by day and by night
Into every meeting he wedges and pushes.
And grlns in our faces with fendish delight.
When others are sleeping he's planning to
With verbal contortions his speech overruns.
At the sound of his footsteps shudder comes

Never dreams he of the peril he's in.

The jokes that he cracks would be scorned

Will no kind phllanthropist offer to boot himf
How fitting the fate for the man who makes
puns.
Oh, what shall we do with himp Would we
could barter him,
Hideous creature that cumbers the earth,
Oh, for a savage to draw him and quarter him
Roast him and eat him in cannibal mirthI
Would we could rid us of every hair of him

Mankind hath borne all that mortal can bear
of him,
And old Nick is too good for the man who

In cutting diamond, sometimes a knot il

much harder than the diamond itself as you
can imagine. They are TO the stone the
same as knot in a pine board. When 3
diamond with these characteristics is dis
covered it has the same effect on the polisher
that the striking of nail has upon car
penter when saving a board. 1t takes
months and months to polish knotty stone,
and have known years work to be put in
on one of them. Of course not of constant
labor, but to be picked upat odd times when
there was nothing else TO do.
The polisner has also to guard against
chipping the stone, for it should be under
stood diamond has . grain the same as q
piece of wood, and the least carelessness
might result in knocking off a third of its
weight. While disasters OF this kind are
not infrequent, they are seldom the result of
inexperience or laxity on the part of the
workman. When a polisher takes a stone
one of the first things he does is to find out
the direction of its grain, so as. NOT to cut
