On Thursday, as a drove of bulRocks
numbering about 40 we're being
driven from the Canadian shed to the
Woodgide lairage, at Birkenhead, a
singular accident happened. On the
river side of the Alfred Dock there is
a narrow undulating b1ddge, recently
placed there by the JERSEY Docks and
Harbor Board for TIE purpose Of con-
venient1y transferring cattle to the
lairages. The bridge will allow two
bullocks to pass over abreast, but yes.
the beasts became jammed and one OF
them leaped into the Alfred Dock and
was Immediately followed by thirty
four others.
The scene in the water was most exs
traordinary, but, strange to recount,
one Of the bullocks swan to the steps
and walked out i'll the most intelligent
| fashion, and was followed by eleven
others. The thirteenth, however,
slipped back into the water, where the
remaining twenty-one were swimming
about for a considerable time. Ulti
mately a number of mel put off II
boats, and tying ropes around the
beasts drew them in to the wall, and
thus supported them until q crane wat
brought into use and the entire hero
rescued, little the worse for theil
strange immersion A period of three
hours elapsed before the work of re
covery was completed, and during thi
time the eliveliest excitement wa ap

RACK AND HEw,

Hack and Hev were the sons Of God
In the earlier earth than now;
One at His right hand, one at His left,
To obey as He taught them how.
And Hack was blind, and Hew was dumb,
But both had the wild, wild heart;
and Gods calm will was their burning will
And the sist Of theit toll was arr.
They made the moon and the belted stars,
They set the sun to ride;
They loosed the girdle and veil Of tbs sea.
The wind and the purple tide.
Both flower and beast beneath their hands
To beauty and speed GU s5rew-
The furious, fumblins hand of HACK,
And the glorying hand Of Hew.
Then fire and clay. they fashioned a man,
And painted him rosy brown
And God Himself blew hard in his eyes,
"Let them burn till they shoulder down :"
And There said Hack, and "Thereg'
thought Hew,
"Well rest, for our toll is done"
But Nay, the Master Workman said,
'For your toll is just begun.
"And We who served Ne Of old as God
Shall serve Me anew as man,
Till l compassth dream that is in My heart
And perfect the yaster plan
And still the craftsman over his craft,
In the vague white light Of dawn,
With Gods calm will for his burning will;
While the mounting day N on,
Yearning, wind-swift, indolent, wild;
Tolls with those shadowy two
The falterfng, restless hand Of Hack,
And the ~tireless hand of HeW.
