HOW THREE WERE MADE ONE.

A Canniba1 Maid and her IIottentot Blade,
They met in rocky defle;
gay eagle plume was his only costume.
The lady was wrapt in a-snie.
Together they strolled. and his passion he
told,
In pleading and trenulous tone,
While softly they trod on the blossom strewn
sod,
And spooned in the twilight alone.
Then sweetly she sighed. she shyly replied
With tender and fairy-like mien,
She murmured the word, when war whoop
was heard
A rival had burst on the scene.
A savage Zulu to the trysting place drew,
Demanding his cannibal bride;
But the Hottentot said, with a toss of his
head,
''I'Il have thy degenerate hide
The Hottentot flew at the savage Zulu,
The Zulu he went for the Blade,
And fiercely they Wed in their strength and
their pride,
And fought for the Cannibal Maid.
She sat on a stone with shapely shin bone
C1asped tight in her tapering arms,
And watched the hair fly with a 1ove-1aden
eye,
While the warriors fought for her charms
When fiercer they fought and the ringing
blows caught,
With parry and thrust fine to see,
She said, with a smile, ''In very short while
I shall have those two fellows for tea"
The purple blood flows from the Hottentot's
nose,
The Zulu is struck by the Blade;
Then each of them sighed, and gasping-they
died,
cySfil IN he
She made nice stew of the savage Zulu,
And scrambled the Hottentot's brains;
Twas a dainty menu when the cooking was
through,
And she dined on her lovers remains.
The savage Zulu and the Hottentot too,
Both sleep in a canniba1 tomb
The three made one, and the story is
done
The maiden strolled off in the gloom.

on term satisfactory to this government
by the usual diplomatic methods. The
telegram makes no request or suggestion
of any kind whatever for salute by Chill
TO the American flag. There was nothing
said at the cabinet meeting on This subject,
and there is no reason TO believe that this
government will require such salute
from Chill. 1t is very possible, however,
that Chill may, OF her own accord, per-
form this graceful act at the termination

followers determined to build a church for
him, and the Metropolitan Tabernacle was

of "a number of works. the chief OF which
is '1'he Treasury OF David" In 1879 Mr..
Spurgeon received a silver wedding testi-
