conversation we asked the name of the

striking in its rugged magniicence
that in Switzerland there would have
been two railways and a dozen hotels
planted on it. With princely generos-

"You can CAL it what you like.
Every outfit that comes along gives it
a new name. and I'll be shot II can

1t was gratifying to reflect that we

not want to attack me then. but it was
equally evident that they did not want

heartily on the carcass of my deer, that
they did not feel like eating me just

they would have me.

CHARLEY MULGRIDGE'S FIDDLE.

When was boy, oh. ages ago,
And back with the boys that used to know,
There were countless pleasures and keen de-
lights
That seemed like parts Of Arabian Nights
But Of all the things that there used 10 be,
No one seemed so hopelessly lost TO mo,
As Charley Mulgrfdge's fiddle.
Its crippled owner could ever entrances
The gathered hosts ut a country dance,
And every earthly care took wings
AS his bow scraped merrily over the strings,
And a genie rose to bid care depart
From the wonderful depths Of the wonderful
heart
OF Charley Mulgridge's fiddle.
No wedding in all the countryside
But IL was there 10 salute the bride
And its voice was q promise of hope and truth
And snowy age for q golden youth,
And its CHEEKY tones to the newly-wed
Seemed as greeting from Heaven instead
OF Charley Mulgridges fiddle.
OH marvellous strains have heard since then
And magic music by wizard-like men
BY Gilmore and Thomas, und men like these,
And Edouard Strauss from across the seas
And their minstrelsy made my heart rejoice,
For through IL / seemed to hear the voice
OF Charley Mulgridge's fiddle.
For at those times when the music swelled
closed my eyes and again beheid
The crippled fiddler with flying bow
The first four forward" and "dos-a-dos"--
And the gay young people who danced the nigh
Away to the realm Of that joyous spritc
In Charley Mulgridge's fiddle.
And It seemed thro' the strains that wander
ing ghost
Sang OF the things that have lost,
But sang In voice that once again
Brought youth TO gray haired women and men
And the wonderful music Of later days
Was only created to swell the praise
OF Charley Mulgridge's fiddle.
And look with eyes that know naught Of tear
Back through the curtain OF gathered years,
And hear again the same old tunes
That made DEFENDERS eternal Junes.
And speak again as saluting wrath,
The greeting of time. and keep the faith
With Charley Mulgridge's fiddle.
