ON A NORMAN DRINKING HORN.

On cup, pcrchance like this,
Some fair maiden pross'd n kiss,
While her waves of golden hair
Fell about the chaliCc there,
And her Norscman warrior sighed
As he left his pliEhted bride
Long and long ago.
Or upon some fcstal night,
With the great logs burning bright
As with jest and merry sound
Hath the wassail cup gone round,
Flowing o'cr with amber ale
Till the stars in heaven grow pale
Long aud long ago.
Or mayhap n friend hath said,
LET the wine be spicsd and red,
For in this drink thy health,
Long life, happiness and wealth."
And the Norsemon press'd kiss
On cup prrchanc6 like this
Long and long ago.

Among the many interesting letters
received daily by the committee reier-
ring to the irrigation congress was one
Saturday from Louis 1anin, Eco, oil
San Francisco, prominent land owner
OF California, which states that he is
coming to the congress IN order to take
part in its deliberations, and adde: 10

ton to be obtained at the congress will
come from those who have had long
practical experience in irrigation. L
hope that some OF these gentlemen will
be candid and bold enough to tell OF

avoid them, and also of the measures
that led to final success. that we may
begin where they LETT off,"
