The Bos'n's story.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
We borrowed some nails from the joiner s
bench.
A hammer and cross-saw, too
And sadly reduced McCarthy's fence
As the good ship Rover grew
Her lordly mast was the old pear tree,
Her flag was a pinafore gay;
And we built her and launched her and
sailed to Feejee
On a Saturday morning in May
And all that summer come rain or shine
To the wide worlds ends would we sail
Loading with gems from the Kaffir mine
Harpooning the polar whale.
And the pirate and savage of cannlbal
climes
We slaughtered in many a row.
Oh, the gallant ship and the glorious
tmesi
And where are my shipmates now?
The captain, a chief of renown is he
Though dulards may fear or sneer;
When duty calls DER the untried sea.
He is skillful and strong, with the glad
heart of yore,
Sail forth on the shoreless tide,
Outward and godward forever more
With the star gleam of truth for your
guidel
And the stir and the fun he made!
All, the coolies know where the sahib lies,
With bullet hole in his head.
Wandering far from the truck, you see,
Yet kingly Of heart and hand.
He went to the devil so gloriously
That the down-hill road was grand.
And at work by his fathers bench the
mate
Looks out on The old-time street,
Where grown folk pass with placid gait,
And the childrens lively feet
But the world Is growing old" says he,
I'VE have no such boys to-day
As the madcap rogues who sailed with
me,
That holiday morning In May"

greater house. The citizens thereof are
members of the common household. Those
in authority are charged to a degree with
