LIGHTS OUT.

How often in our little boat
On summer evenings we would float;
Careless Of time, of east and west,
Ceasing from idle talk and Jest,
As DER the waters restless flow,
Driftcd in cadence swift and low.
That plaintve bugle call
Lights out!
How through the old fort it would ring,
Strange echoes from the casemates bring
While we would wait our oars ri rest
Upon the rivers peaceful breast,
And watch the yellow lamp CLEANS die
At the silvery warning sigh
OF that plaintive bugle call
Lights out!
From far-onf camp from land Of fears,
Ger wastes of distance, parting. tears
Comes the familiar sound of old,
Our life in darkness to tnfold.
Alone, upon life's troubled sea.
The fatcfui message comes to me,
OF that plaiatiVe buglc call
Lights out!

Blue Blood,

The origin Of the term ''blue
blood is most suggestive. After
the black Moors were driven out of
Spain, the aristocracy Of Spain was
held to consist of those who traced
their lineage back to the time be-
fore the Moorish conquest. These
people were whittier than those who
had been mixed with Moorish. blood.
The veins upon their white hands
were blue, while the blood of the
masses, contaminated by the Moor
ish infusion, showed black upon
their hands and faces. So the white
Spaniards Of the old race came to
declare that their blood was "blue,"
while that of the common people
was black. The phrase passed to
France, where it had no such sig
niticance and was, in fact, quite ar
bitrary, and thence it came to Eng
land and America. Chicago Times

BRAVE RYMElckA DE NYsE.
now New Utrecht Girl Saved the Amer.

lean Army.
Here is a good story that was
enacted in 1875, but just discovered
by the writer who in his researches
among the manuscripts of the Long
Island Historical library and the
New Utrecht library found in the
daily reports Of Colonel Jaqus Crop
sey reference to the following his
toric facts:
1t was hard times in the colonies
in August, 1776. Disaster had fol-
lowed the fortunes of the American
armies, and this fact was well known
to the English generals. Orders
had been issued to give decisive
blow, which it was expected would
annihilate the patriots.
General Washington was called
hurriedly to New York and calls
were issued for recruits from all
parts of the colonies, as it was ex-
pected a determined battle would be
fought on the westerly end of Long
Island. For weeks each side was
gathering it's cohorts for what
was believed would be the final
struggle. The English, under Lord
Howe, brought their troops in YES
sells, which were anchored in Graves
end bay, and the arrival Of additions
ITO the fleet were of almost daily oc-
Gurrence.
General washington was prepar-
ing for meeting the enemy and had
in pursuance of a we'll arranged
plan erected defenses extending
from Wallabout to Bay Ridge.
During this time four farmers.
Gerrit De Nyse of Kings Highway,
Tunis Cropsey, Abram Bennett and
Cornelius Lott of Bay Ridge, owned
a fishing net and boats and had a
small building or hut on the Van
Brunt farm, just where, Avoca Villa
now stands, in which they kept
their nets and oars and had beds for
use when they occasionally staid
over night. They fished nearly
every day. They were patriots, and
with the arrival Of the English fleet
saw their opportunities gone for
fishing, but not for long, because
the English fleet needed fish and a
squad Of marines had soon found
the owners and they were pressed
into service to furnish fish for the
feet. They met at the hut and de-
cided to be willing workers, but
with the secret intent of making
daily report of what they might see
and hear to the officers in command
of the patriot forces, and thus they
fished, received the British gold,
made themselves friendly to the
English and each evening the results
of their observations were given to
Rymeicka De Nyse, the youngest
daughter of Gerrit De Nyse, and
she carried the news the next morn.
ing to Washington's headquarters.
That this information was desirable
and important goes without saying
and the patriot fishermen were in.
structed to pursue their plan and on
the first knowledge of a move on
the part Of the English they were
to get word to General Washington.
The day the fact of start was
learned fishing had never been bet
ter, and the largest load was taken
to the admiral's ship, and the finest
fish were for his table. Every move.
ment Of the fishermen was delayed
to give all the time possible to look
and talk. and when the quartet met
