GREATER BRITAIN.

Find me a man of the allied race
In his warm heart I'd make place.
A place for Great Britain,
A bold conception not too vast,
This bond of union that shall last.
A view of the future built on the past;
Call we it Greater Britain.
Greater Britain, what does it mean
Grandest nation the world has seen.
Sponsor for peace and truth.
No warrior, then, with armed oppres-
sion,
To disturb the peace of quiet pos
session,
Of liberty true the open confession,
This plan of Greater Britain.

WYNKEN, BLYNKEN, AND NOD.

mo less an authority Than Andrew Lang,
says an exchange, has pronounced Eugene
Fields poem, "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod !"
one OF the best II not the best, child poem in
the English language
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in wooden shoe
SAILED on a river OF misty light
Into sea of dew.
where. are you going and what do you
wish ?"
The old man asked the three.
we have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in the beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we,"
Said Wynken,
Blynkcn,
And Nod
The old moon laughed and sang a song
AS they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind that sped them all night long
Rufiied the waves of dew.
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived In that beautiful sea.
Now cast your nets wherever you wish,
But never afeared are We"
So cried the stars to the fishermen three,
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
For the fish in the twinkling foam.
Then down from the sky came the wooden
shoe
Bringing the fishermen home.
Twas all so pretty sail, it seemed
As lift could not be,
And some folks thought twas dream they'd
dreamed
OF sailing that beautiful sea.
But shall name you the fishermen three:
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is wee ones trundle bed
So shut your eyes while m other sings
OF the wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
A. you rock in the misty sea
Where the old shoe rockeds the fishermen

TWO GENTLEMEN.

One gentleman was little and the other
one was large. The large one was very
tall and very straight. He wore suit
of fine broadcloth, and in his polished
linen shirt-front agreat diamond sparked
like star. His boots were of patent
leather, and so bright that you could al
most see your face in them. He had on
new brown kid gloves, and carried an
elegant silk umbrella with silver handle,
on which was engraven his monogram.
The little one was very short and very
crooked with hump on one shoulder
and limp in his gait. His clothes were
threadbare; his cap was ragged; his
shoes had holes in them; his little hands
were bare and red with cold. He held a
clumsy newspaper bundle in his arms.
The two stood side by side upon the
curbstone of crowded street waiting
for chance to cross. The little one
looked up at the large one with admira-
.tion. What fine gentleman" he
thought. Suddenly poorly-clad old
woman carrying great basket Of
clothes came from the opposite direction.
AS she neared the sidewalk she lodged
suddenly to avoid a cart that was pass
ing, and stumbled against the tall gentle
man, her basket of clothes knocking out
OF his grasp the umbrella with the mono
gram on the silver handle. With an
angry glance and muttered oath he
gave her rough shove to one side while
he stopped to recover the umbrella.
The little one had seen it all. He threw
down his newspaper bundle, while with
one hand he caught the old woman and
with the other kept her basket from be-
ing overturned in the gutter.
You're gentleman-that you are"
she said fervently, putting one of her
hands with tenderness on the threadbare
coat which covered the misshapen back.
But the tall one did not hear her. He
had crossed the street. And the little
one was surprised Caroline B. DeRow.

THE BOY KING OF SPAIN.

AS | write we can look out from
our window facing "the Concha," a
little harbor of the Bay of Biscay,
and note little ten-year-old boy, in
blue flannel sailors suit, playing
on the beach. Above him a cloudless
sky, before him one of the most
charming harbors in Europe. On
the mountains at its entrance, the
lighthouse, watch-towers, bristling
canon, granite Notifications, great
great walls along the precipitous
side. Behind the lad is little Moor
ish hathhouse elegantly finished, and
in it are his grandmother, mother
and two young sisters, all dressed in
simble, modest style. Brilliant
statesmen, soldiers in scarlet uni
forms are around and, just a little
way from shore, pretty rowboat
and group of sailors in natty cos
tune, with white oars in their hands,
ready at any moment for service in
case of any accident to the boy.
Do you ask, Who is this child? He
is the same little fellow whose face
appears upon the postal stamps and
upon the silver coin that hold in
my hand, whose photograph is in
the shop windows of all the cities in
Spain, who when born was gazed
upon by representatives from all
parts of the world, from the papal
Mexico and the French ambassador
to the ministers of England, Ger
many, Austria, Italy, Russia and the
United States, even from the Spanish
countries of South America" Can
non were fired, telegraphic dispatches
were sent from the city of his birth,
Madrid, all over the. world. Flags
were unfurled, the bells rang out
wild peals of joy, great cities, all
throughout the peninsula, were alive
with rejoicing. And now, near my
side, is this same little fellow, born
liking of Spain," utterly unconscious
that he is the most important figure
in this great country, upon whose
shoulders is to be placed the response
bility of a great kingdom, rollicking
about gathering seashells, like any
Yankee boy on our south shore.
What will be his career, what good
or evil he will accomplish, how he
may effect the country of Europe, is
a problem that the next century
alone can solve.
For little boy to be saluted with
reverenceby statesmen and courtiers,
to be watched by a nation, to have
an army of 10000 march before him
with military bands playing Long
Live the King is an honor no Ameri-
can lad has ever attained, but which
seems to come naturally to Alphon-
SO, the Spanish king. The royal fami.
y live in San Sebastian, in their pal
ace near us, in the summer. Tomor-
row they return to Madrid. Here
we have met them twice and each
time have received the cordial and
gracious salutation Of the queen and
ler retinue. We saw her on the
piazza of her pretty Moorish bath
house, chatting with one of her
,ourtiers, as modest and quiet in
attire and in bearing as any Ameri-
IAN lady taking an outing. Without
hrs or pretension she saluted those
who stood near in a simple and gra-
ious manner, evidently winning the

hearts of her subjects as she stole the
hearts of her American admirers.
And to what kingdom is the child
born! To be the successor of a long
line of illustrious kings, whose reign
has changed the fate Of millions, to
administer wisely the affairs of a
realm like Spain, to grant religious
liberty or to prevent free thought are
responsibilities which almost appall
one. Just now the nation is pitiably
poor, and the war in Cuba is strain
ing its finances to the utmost, and
its choicest young men have been
sent and are daily recruited for the
war. At way stations all along the
way great crowds gather to see
the boys, many of them in their teens,
start off, and the same pitiful sights
OF embraces, tears, agony of fathers,
mothers and sisters came before us as
in the days of '61-64 in the United
States. Said Spaniard to us: II
met at the club last evening boy
who was to start for Cuba today.
He ought to have nurse maid to
go with him." The people are very
sensitive and carefully watch the
action of our country. Even the
young girls in the American mission
school at San Sebastian, with fire in
their sharp eyes, say to the teacher
geography: "You Americans want
Cuba" mo, we do not; our coun-
try is large enough already" Yes,
but you don't want Spain to own
Cuba, "and then they burst out into a

BU RIED SHIPS.
They Were Found Under Portion of
Duhlin bN Sewer MnrL,men

They Were Found Under Portion of
Dublin by sewer WorLmen.
The excavations in connection with the
main drainage works in Dublin have resulted
in some discoveries OF considerable interest
particularly TO the antiquarian. Unfortu-
nately those who come on the finds are not
enthusiastic searchers into the secrets Of
the past, and they did not overexert them
selves in the work Of investigation. When
the trench for the main sewer at Upper
Ormond quay was being dug SAYS the Dublin
Independent, the digEers came on an old
ship. which was buried in the ground some
twenty feet down, nearly opposite the head
of East Arrau street. The direction OF the
snip was al right angles to the quay wall
tie bow projecting toward up river
The vessel was evidently swallowed up in
the sands which formed the banks of the
river long ere the present quays We're built
Tae width of the ship is fifteen feet It,
Iehsth Is an unknown quantity for those
VINO found the vessel simply cut away as
much as was necessary to construct Tho
sewer. Even its depth was not ascertained
because the bottom Of the new sewer is only
some two feet underneath the point where
the gunwales OF the boat begin and the
Wofkfnen dld not go 10 greater depth than
they were compelled for main drainage pur-
poses. The material OF which the snip was
mace - oak. but owing TO its long stay In
the ground the WOOD il stained almost black
A peculiar feature in the construction OF
the vessel Is that the tImbers are almost all
fastened together by means of oak plugs
there being very little iron employed From
the charred appearance OF the deck timbers
II Is considered probable that an attemp;
was made to set fire TO the ship. but the
hre did not spread as the side timpers show
no traces OF burning. Near the top Of the
ship was found a quantity of coal. and a
fourteen-pound cannon ball was also dis
covered. Higher up the quay, almost o.
posite the city sherff's office another shin
was found This one. which lay in the d.
rection parallel 10 the quay wall had also
evidently been swallowed up by the sands
which used TO border the Liffey in its prog
ress through the Dublin OF other DAYS The
same peculiarities Of construction as were
observed in the case OF the first ship were

however, appear TO have been an attempt
to set the boat on fire
The workmen express their belief that the
ships are as old as the DAYS Of Brian. the
latter name being rather a familiar refer.
ence 10 the conqueror OF Clontarf The
presence Of cannon ball would seem to do
away with this theory, for al the time of
the historic conflict firearms were unknown
and the gentle art OF projecting heavy mis-
slles al ones fellow creatures by means OF
artillery was not employed for the spread
OF civilization until Brian the Brave had
been in the grave for several centuries II
is probable however. that the shius are al
least as old the time OF King Charles |
