FAMOUS ARCHERS.
Stories of Wonderful Skill With Bow and

Stories of Wonderful Skill With Bow and
Arrow.
The expression drawing a long bow
does not Of necessity mean the telling
Of falsehood. 1t sometimes refers to a
wonderful story, which may be true
enough, but which is SO marvellous as
to require a firm trust in the veracity
Of the narrator to enable the nearer to
believe it. Some Of the longest bows of
and arrows.
These stories began long ago. Virgil,
in tho "Hncid," tells Of four archers
who were shooting for prize, the mark
being pigeon tied by cord to the
mast of a snip. The first man hit the
mast, the second cut tho cord, and the
third shot the pigeon as it flew away.
The fourth archer, having nothing left
to shoot, drew his bow and sent his ar
COW flying toward the sky with such
speed that the friction Of the air set the
feathers Oh fire, and it swept on, like a
meteor, to disappear i'll the clouds.
The stories told Of Robin Hoods
archery, illustrated by his wonderful
performance as Locksley i'll Scott's
"Ivanhoe," are also decided strain
upon sensible PERSONS credulity. The
famous story of William Tell, doubted
by many persons, is believed by others
to have foundation Of fact. There was
a Dane named Foke Of whom the same
story is told, and William of Cloudes-
ley. an Englishman, is said to have shot
an apple from his sons head merely to
| show his experiences.
Most stories Of bows and arrows re
| late to the accurate aim of the archers,
| but Frenchinan, Blaise de Vigenere,
| tells one that shows the tremendous
force with which all arrow may be pro-
| PEELED if tie bow be strong and long
enough. According to his own account
Of the matter, he saw Barbarossa, a
Turk, admiral of ship called the
Grand Soly1nan, send an arrow from
his bow right through cannon ball.

THE SOVEREIGN POET.

BE sits above the clang and dust Of time,
With the Ni>rld's secret trembling on lis lip
He asks not converse nor companions Mi,
In the cold starlight, where thou c@lst not

He sees afar the ilnineno-alolc.t ;rcng
And binds the scattered s.sssso-; With I. so-g.
The glorious riddle of his rhy thnlie breath,
His might, his spell, we know not What they

We only feel, whate er he uttereth,
This savors not CT death;
This hath n relish Of eternity.
