ington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Admiral David

David Dixon Porter was born in
Pennsylvania, June 8, 1914, his father

He served as midshipman in the Mex

lieutenant took part in the Mexican war
When the civil war broke out Porter
was sent to the relief of Fort Pickens,
Fla, in command of the Powhatan.
This duty accomplished he fitted out
a mortar f1otilla for reductions of the
approaches of New Orleans. After the
fall of New Orleans the flotilla assisted
in the siege of Vicksburg and he was
made rear admiral and placed in COM
mand of the naval forces on the western
rivers above New Orleans. His ability
| was now conspicuously exhibited and
wherever there was water enough to
float gunboat the old flag was carried
He was transferred to the Atlantic and
captured Fort Fisher in 1868. He was
appointed superintendent of the Naval
| Academy and on the death of Farragut
succeeded that illustrious man as ad.
miral of the navy.l

Shall wake a pulse on tn boundlsss deep
Whose ripples never rest!
But ever sweep through coral caves,
Or break on distant sands,
To kiss cold faces which the deep
Holds far from loving hands.
Or eddy round the treasures lost
Which her calm bosom hides;
Yet still forever GIBBS and flows
Upon her changing tidesl
They tell US that each word we SPEAK,
Though ne'er so softly said,
Shall still be throbbing thro' the air
Long after We are dead!
And that. although we hear them not,
Around US ever ring,
The laugh and sigh of long ago
The shifting breezss bringl

Like an echo on the air.
Though scarcely needed when tits said,
Yet leaves its impress there.
Howeer this be--'tis Gods decree,
We cannot live alone;
No one can fold his arms and say,
"My life is all mine own"
The life of each is bound 70 all,
BY cords we cannot sever,
A ripple that shall never cease
Upon times might river.
But like the pulses OF the tide,
Or the air which echoes still,
SO must the words and deeds OF each
