Il heard in my YOUTH says Sir
Charles Murray, lone of many curious
stories of Sir john Shaw. He was most
eccentric in his appearance and dress,
and cared nothing for tidiEess in the
grounds Immediately surrounding his
house. One day he invited two gentle
men from Edinburg to dine with him
ut Carnock- AS was the custom of the
time, they appeared before dinner in
knee breeches, silk stockings and thin
shoes The weather being fine, Sir John
invited them to take turn in the gar
den. Civilly and thoughtlessly they
followed their host. and soon found
themselves skipping among nettles and
tbistles. to the great discomfort of their
unfortunate calves. Sir John, who was
clad, as usual, in corduroy brooches and
top boots, said to them, with polite
gravity: Step DOT, step cot, gentle
men, ye1l no hurt my f1owers!' Corn

Secrets hid in coral caves, wonders yelled

Your dirge which tells in monotone of miss

Well 1 love walk the sands when you

Bursting forth in grandest music like a

Mighty anthems deep and strong given in
cataracts of song,
Which cliffs peat in harmony and echoes
glad proIong-
Plumed each wave in spotless white
jewels flashing purest light
With sunbeam shuttles weaving lace of
gold -hoss dazzling bright;
While swift shadows come and go like dim
specters down below,
And beneath the moonlight's splendor
miracles in silver grow.
Sing a song of summer isles where all
nature CLOVIS and smiles,
And thy waters gentle murmur many a
tropic maid beguiles;
Where each sprite her secret tells to thy
pearly. pink-lined shells,
And the Ianguid scent of summer meath
the palm and mangrove dwells.
In thy mirror tinted blue let me see con-
tentment true,
The delights and fancy flights my
happy boyhood knew;
Let my eyeS-anointed all thy secrets
full and free,
As my boyish soul interpreted thy mes
sage meant Cor me.
