TO THE ARMY MULE.

The war steed wins his need Of praise,
Oft sharing. on the shining page
OF history, fame's golden words,
Which are the hero's heritage;
In monumental brass he makes
A part of glory's encourage.
A city once was named for him.
With thee, mule, it is not thus!
No modern Alexander'll find
In thee a new Bucephalus;
Thou'rt nothing but a nondescript-
In life and death ingloriousl
I mind me of but one, 'mong all
Thy kind. who e'er on glory's track
Has made record-only one,
And that the white mule Alborak,
Who, so It's said. bore Mahomet
To Allah's heaven upon his back.
The battle chargers shade, no doubt,
Neighs in Valhalia's vestibule;
But ne'er a niche doth Fame reserve
For thee. plodding army mule!
Thy ghost. among the demigods,
Would be a butt for ridiculeI
Yet, tho to Glory's camping ground
Fate ne'er for thee let down the bars;
Tho thou mays't never be the mount
BY which the hero seeks the stars,
l strike my Tyre to celebrate
Thee, o thou toughest aid Of Mars!7

Poetry Of the Period,
AN AIRY CREATION.

AS red as the lily that blows
And wildly trembles and CLOVIS
On the moorland all day
To the halcyon's lay
AND the surge Of the wo.d undertows
AS blue as the billow that leans
AS white as the sea foam that Groom.
In the teeth Of the gale
Ana as white as the sail
That g.lmmers and CLEANS on the deems.
Fashioned SO airily,
Sculptured so fairly,
Light as the light zephyr lulled to repose,
Sweet as the napery
or dream drapery
sweet as the night zephyr kissing the rose
Lissom and willowy.
Breezy and billowy
Wltching, mysterious, dainty divine:
Languorous fluffiness
Wind dmpled pufiness-
what an imperious beauty is thinei
FHmsy, diaphanous, light as the snow:
PARKING and sparkling, with life al ag!ow-
Such IS the witchery lent by the cute
summer girl unto her new bathing suit
When she slides into 1t,
When she glides into it,
Then shine the charms of her blue bath
ing suit.

directing a! her energies through the estab-

For I'm going to read the news, mother,

And pray do not neglect mother,

Always the "Bfttero End,

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
We will fight to the bitter end" Gen.
Linares Is reported to have said before the
battle Once more this singular preference
for the wrong end which was shown by Ad-
miral Montojo before the Manila disaster It
is not the spirit that wins battles Presi-
dent Lincoln once complained that there were
so many good good young men in the army
who were ready to die for their country
What was really needed. he said. was men
who could kill the other fellows. From a
military point of view soldiers are better
than martyrs. And while we are speaking
of the bitter end. it is the height of foolish
ness for the general government of Spain to
insist on having it. 1t is cruel to waste
lives by keeping up a hopeless struggle.
