SONG OF THE SEA.

The song of the sea was an ancient song
In the days when the earth was young
The waves We're gossiping loud and long
Ere mortals had found tongue;
The heart of the waves with wrath was
wrung
Or soothed to a siren strain
As they tossed the primitive isles among
Or slept in the open main.
Such was the song and its changes free,
Sue was the song of the sea.
c'he song of the sea took human tone
II the days of the coming of man;
A mournfuller meaning swelled her moan,
AID fiercer her riots ran;
Because that her stately voice began
TO speak of our human woes;
With music mighty to grasp the span
Life's tale and its passions throes.
Suc,- was the song as it grew to be,
Suc.- was the song of the sea.
The song of the sea was hungry sound
AS the human years unrolled;
Fc, the notes were hoarSe with the
doomed and drowned
Or choked with a ShipwreckS gold
Tn It seemed no dirge above the mold
s sorry a story said
~ the midnight cry of the waters old
Calling above their dead.
Such was the song and is threnody,
Sue: was the song of the sea.
The song of the sea is wondrous lay,
For it mirrors human life;
1t is grave and great as the judgment
day,
1t is torn with the thought of strife:
Yet under the stars it is smooth and rife
With love-lights everywhere,
When the SKY has taken the deep to wife
And their wedding day is fair
Suct, is the oceans mystery,
Such is the song of the sea.
Richard Burton.

JOHN PHOENIX, WAC.

| A memorial paper of John Phoenix,
| Captain George H. Derby of the regu-
lar army, has been prepared by Joseph
a. Allen, of Medfeld, Mass, of which
town Phoenix was a native. Mr.. AL
len recently read his paper before the
| Medfeld Historical society. He relates
this story of the famous wag:
When Jefferson Davis was secretary
Of war in 1853 he issued orders to all
army officers, asking of them Specifi
cations for a new uniform. Phoenix,
who was a good draughtsman, set to
work, and he produced a design. He
made no great change in the uniform,
but he proposed revolutionizing the en-
tire system of modern tactics by an
iron hook, to be attached to the seat
of every soldiers pants; it applied to
every arm of the service-cavalry, in
fantry and artillery. He illustrated its
use by series of we'll executed de-
signs. He quoted high medical au-
thority, proving its advantages in
sanitary point of view. The heavy
knapsack, he argued, induced stoop-
ing position, and a very great contrac-
ton of the chest, but hung on the
hook, by a strap connecting with the
shoulder, it would brace the body back
and expand the chest. The cavalry
their seats, hooked to a ring in the
saddle. All the commissioned officers
were to carry a light, 20-foot pole,
with a ring attached to the end, to be
used during an engagement in draw
ing the stragglerS back into the ranks.
He illustrated a terrific battle, the gen.
erals and colonies being thus occupied
hauling back the stragglers. In many
other ways did he eXpatiate on the
value of his hook. Jefferson Davis was
enraged. His dignity was wounded,
and the service insulted. He instantly
made out an order, directing Phoenix
to be courtmartialled for contempt.
Marcy, then secretary of state, was
made aware of the tranSa ction and of
the cloud hanging over Phoenix. He
looked over the plates. He saw a regl-
ment, their backs toward him, drawn
up in line, knapsackS, blankets and all
manner of camp equipage, pending
from each soldier on the hook. Marcy
broke down. Said he to Davis: It's
no use to court-martial this man. The
matter will be made public. the laugh
will settle entirely on us; and, besides
a man who has the inventive ingenuity
he here displayed, as well as this fac
ulty of design, lily directed though it
be, is too valuable to the service to
be trif1ed with" John Phoenix was
not brought to grief, and Davis anger
was at length sufficiently Modified for
him to enjoy the joke. 1t does not
appear, however, that they adopted
Phoenix's plan. Derby's paper, with
the illustrations, is on file at Washing
ton.

MORALITY EAST AND WEST.

When the Nevada legislature passed
awoke next morning and found her
self famous. Her fame in this respect
has been followed by almost universal
condemnation. The press and public
of New York have been particularly
outraged by the law, because the press
and public of New York represent the
''as it must be" in politics and morals
in America: There alone does the
Seeley dinner reach full perfection;
there alone do political bosses who
have nothing when they start, and
do nothing after they have started, be-
come millionaires in a comparatively
few years.
The Indignation of the New York
press and people over the law brings
forth somewhat of defense of Nevada
by the Chicago Times Herald. 1t very
truthfully says that the law contem-
plates nothing more than the legiti-
MIXING of that which is publicly prac-
ticed in New York City. 1t says that
every week two or more noted bruisers
are brought together in a hall within
earshot of the best people of New
York." and encouraged to hammer
each other for the pleasure of three
or four thousand more or less enlight-
ened fasteners. And this under police
supervision and even patronage. The
Herald concludes by saying that
perhaps the people of Nevada, simple,
uncouth, with no guide to concrete NOR
atty but the example of older COM
munities, took New York as a model,
and not being wise enough to disguise
Irize fighting as manly exercise could
see no way of achieving culture and
refinement except to legalize the crime.
We have only to say to the Nevadans
that it is unsafe to go too far east
for guidance in matters of public NOR
atty"
The legalizing of prize fighting is to
be condemned, but after all the ques-
ton arises whether it is any worse
to legalize it than to permit it to go
on unlegalized. 1t is not unlike the old
question whether a sin is a sin if not
discovered

ROYAL MARTYR, CHARLES.

Very few Americans are inclined to
look upon Charles 1 of England as a
martyred saint by any means On the
| contrary, they are inclined to think
that he lost his head very justly. But
| there are people in this country who
think otherwise, as was shown on the
| 30th ult. by a rather novel religious
ceremony in the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the Evangelist, Catherine
street, Philadelphia. The occasion was
the unwilling and blessing of a portrait
of Charles 1. Two bishops took part
in the ceremony, while regrets were
received from quite a number of
! others. Bishop Coleman, of Delaware,
! unveiled the painting, and read the
prayer of blessing, which was as fol-
lows:
Bless we beseech thee, our work in
setting up TO thy glory, in this thine
house, a likeness of thy servant and
martyr, Charles; and grant that all
they that visit this temple may be
moved by the sight thereof to a faith
full copying of his constancy even unto
DEATH
Bishop Perry of Iowa then delivered
a panegyric upon Charles, saying,
among other things: King Charles
was chosen of God to sacrifice his life
and to make sure the continuity of
purer catholicity. He laid his head
upon the block rather than give up
the Church of England to its foes.
We of America owe him a debt of
gratitude
With due difference to those engaged
in this ceremony, such talk as this by
Bishop Perry is pure twaddle. I'VE
of America owe him a debt of grati-
tude.' This is news indeed. And
what for? Because he sacrificed his
life ito make sure the continuity of
purer catholicity.
In America we are very apt to think
that Cromwell did far more for man.
kind in every respect than Charles
did It is hardly probable that there
would have been such civil and relig-
iOus liberty in this country but for the
setting up in England of the doctrine
of Cromwell and knocking down those
of Charles.
This ceremony of unwilling the por-
trait of the royal martyr, Charles, in
Philadelphia, with such religious pomp
and ceremony, was nothing but pure
flunkeyism. In the English Prayer
book calendar the ceremony in COM
of the death of Charles
was. removed by act of parliament in
1853. 1t was placed there by Charles
II, and by no other authority. Do

represents Senator-elect Rawlins as

differ politically and religiously, they
are a self-respecting, God-fearing peo-
pie, and they are Mortified by SUCH
blasphemous things as this cartoon

him, upon Mr.. Rawiins, and them.

MR.. CLEVELAND FEELS HURT.

Bishop Walker, of Buffalo, was in
Washington recently and saw Presi-
dent Cleveland and had a talk with
him on the arbitration treaty. The
New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press says the bishop was
surprised and grieyed to find that the
president feels that public men and a
great many private citizens of the
country misunderstood him and his
purpose. 1t is further stated that the
president feels that all he has done
has been with the sole purpose of fur
thering the welfare of the people, and
still he realizes that his purposes are
misconstrued, his acts severely criti-
cised and a sort of tacit antagonism
at least, to him and his administration
has been established in congress, and
especially between him and members
of the Democratic party.
Doubtless the president is conscious
of the rectitude and high aim of his
own purposes, but he has been unfor-
tunate in not having been able to so
impress the people of the country.
They have come to a very great eX-
tent to regard him as regarding him
self as a law unto himself. They may
be wrong, but such is their impression.
That he is a strong man, no one
doubts; that he is a genial, sympa-
thetic man, comparatively few believe.
1t has been his misfortune to have ac-
Iquired the reputation of being a man
who repels rather than attracts people.
That he has repealed them is shown
by the fact that he feels that he has
been misunderstood If he has been
he has but himself to blame. Had he
during his administration shown more
of that humorous side of his nature
that he showed in his address before
the New York Medical society, he
would probably have made more
friends than he has, while he could
have had his own way as much as he
has had it, and with far less friction.
His private life may shed an entirely
new, and more pleasing, light upon
his character

that he assisted the senator to dress in

A great inquiry is now being made
in different German towns for the iron
mourning rings of 1913, says the Phila-
deIphia Telegraph. The history of
these curious memorials of German
patriotism may not be generally
known. During the national awaken
ing against Napoleon in 1913. the
princess of the royal house made an
appeal TO the people for the sacrifice
OF personal ornaments, not unlike that
made by the Long parliament at the
beginning Of the civil wars. Cold
mourning rings were consequently sent
in immense numbers to the treasury
in Berlin, and each sender received in
acknowledgement an iron ring upon
which was inscribed, Gold 1 Give for
Iron.'' From Swinemunde alone no
fewer than ia gold rings were sacri-
feed to the Fatherland, and iron rings
sent thjther in exchange. Specimens
of these iron rings are now worth
more than their weight in gold
