Silently, swiftly riding with me,
Stirrup to stirrup, stride for stride,
If stretch out my hand in the night, BY
my side,
touch him, steadily, sullenly,
With his withered face and his misery,
By the firmest and bitterest bond allied,
That never a love nor hate can divide
Riding with me.
Across the land and from sea to sea,
Splashing and plunging through many rlv'
ers,
Recklessly, YEARLY, desperately.
Ban nor blessing, nor thing that sewers
Can sever the tie 'twixt him and me.
Out Of the night and into the day,
From season to season, from year to year.
What does it matter where leads the way2
There is nothing further to heed nor fear;
There is nothing to hope in the time to be;
AS galiop in silence tonight, by my side.
Stirrup to stirrup, and stride for stride,
He rides with me.
As ride with thee, shall I ride with thee,
With my withered face and my misery,
Stirrup to stirrup, and stride for stride.
The Cross. and the Book, and the Priest de-
fed,
Through time and death and eternity,
To days that breed, nor years that kill,
Nor prayer, nor tears of souls that be
Past the swift river of good and ill.
Shall sever the bonds that hold me, tied
By deed and by will of thy own to thy side.
Stirrup to stirrup, and stride for stride,
Steadily, sternly, silently
shall ride with thee.

The Squire and His Rubens.

forget where the charming anecdote of
the irate country squire and his Rubens is
to be found. 1t illustrates state of mind

and see my Rubens. So and SO says it is
not Rubens. I'll kick anybody out Of
the house who says IT isn't, What do you
say, sir"
The credulity and obstinacy of amateurs,
and the craft and cunning of purveyors is
doubtless quitea as rife now as then. There
have, however, been golden ages of art
fraud, and we are, think, living in one of
them at present. -Nineteenth Century.
