vessel that fired them. Above La Guayra,
on the hill, is little fortress, which was
once the residence of the Spanish governor
when Venezuela was a colony of Spain. 1t
is of interest now chiefly because Charles
Kingsley describes it in Westward Ho.' as
the fortress in which the Rose of Devon was
imprisoned. Past this fortress, and I'D over

Hints of the Orient in Mexico.
The dark-skinned men with bright eyes

destroyed either by the immense sugar
loaf sombreros which they wear upon their
heads or the sandals which, when not bare
foot, they fasten upon their feet.
The women, often in gay colors, and
draped in dark-colored shawl, called
reboso, which half cOnceals the face, also
suggest Asia or Africa rather than America
or Europe. The Egyptian shaduf finds its
counterpart in the well sweep of 1rapuato,

Though Mexico stretches farther south
than Egypt, the two countries lie, speaking
generally, between the same parallels of
latitude, but the altitude of Irapuato is

LITTLE BOY BLUE.

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands,
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket moulds in his hands.
Time was, when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time, when Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
''Now don't you go till come he said
"And don't you make any noise,''
So toddling off to his trunde-bed
He dreamt Of pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue.
Oh, the years are many, the years are long.
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile of little facet
And they wonder, as waiting the long years
through
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.

HARPER's WEEKLY thinks there is
some ground for believing that when the
Earl of Dunraven departed from our
shores he left new word behind him
for our use. To dunraven, it seems, is
to refuse to play without showing ade-
quate grounds for Withdrawing A dun
raven, accordingly, is a refusal to play
for reasons not considered satisfactory.
The new word is three syllab les long,
which is against it. But persons who
use it hold that it conveys with lucidity
and despatch an idea which could not
otherwise be impaired without consider
able decentralization. 1t is proper to add
that the word is admitted to be an
Americanism.
