The following is an extract from a

referring to visit to King Behanzin Of
Dahomey, ON board the SECOND: "The
king, followed by five wives and four
children, Of whom one is handsome
boy, then came forward in a silk man
tie striped with black and blue and
elegantly draped His head was bare,
and he had on his feet sandals held on
by crossed bands embroidered in woods
of many colora He smoked q large
ebony pipe, the bowl and shank of which
were circled with silver. His French is
limited to bon jour aud ami, and am
the first white woman he ever saw, and
the sight Of me astonished him. He at
first gazed at me, then reared with
laughter, and when he had roared till he
was tired looked around and asked
where my husband was The Interpreter
having pointed him or he took him by
the shoulder and gave him friendly
shake, which was as much as to say,
What lucky fellow you are!' One Of
the five wives cocks She has lost all
her teeth. The others stand around the

nice. Behanzin is elderly, about So, and
has white head of hair. He hardly
knows how to walk, because on account
Of his rank he has always been carried. -

Iknow Of . boy that's sleepy.
Ican tell It by the nodding head
And the eyes that cannot stay open
While the good night prayer is said.
And the whispered Tell tory
Said in such q drowsy way,
Makes me hear the bells of Dreamland,
That ring at close Of day.
80 you want story, darlingl
What shall the story be?
OF Little Boy Blue in the haystack
And the sheep he fails to see
As they nibble the meadow clover
While the COWS are in the corn?
Oh. Little Boy Blue, wake up, wake up,
For the farmer blows his horn. ~
Or shall it be the story
OF Little Bopeep tell
And the sheep he lost and mourned for
As If awful fate befell?
But there was no need of sorrow,
For the pet that went astray,
Since, left alone, he came back home
In his own good time and way.
Oh. the pigs that went to market!
That's the tale for me to tell.
The great big pig and the little pigs
And the wee, wee pig as well.
Here's the big pig-what beauty!
But not half as cunning is he
As this little tot Of a baby pig
That can only say Wee wee!''
Just look at the baby, bless him!
The little rogue's fast asleep.

to hear her, but she failed to put in an

nonappearance was found in the Bible
and was that she did not believe it
right to 'scast pearls before swine. -

the ARTISTS QUEEN.


An artist once gave to the canvas q face
That the wise came miles to see.
A lovelight glance in eyes all a-dance
He had caught in its subtlety.
He had given q crown to the regal ono
And knights at her command,
But the girllike mien was not Of queen,
Though courtiers kissed her hand. ).
And the critics said, as they gazed enrapt,
That the rank of queen was not there,
Though there never was such grace and
such touch
Or q face more delicate, fair.
And they hied to the artist and found that
he
Was in quarters poor and bare,
But he held to his heart the counterpart
OF rustic maiden there.
