THE BANKS OF VINE.
A "Reminiscences.
j. W. vood, Pasadena, Cal.

On the banks of Brandywine
Where the waters ebb and flow,
Where the trailing willows twine
And the ripplcs come and CO.
There in days of long ago-when the blood
was sparkling wine
There roaned with heart aglow, on the
banks OF Brandywine.
On the banks OF Brandywine--
Where tine crimson naples grow,
Oft sat with rcd and line
Till the summer sun was low
What cared for evenings fall when the
blood was spark ling wine
Needless youth to mandates call on the
banks of Branaywine.
On the banks of Brandywine.
Where the bridge o'erleaped the stream,
Mossgrown by the touch of time,
There used to sit and dream,
Fancies large, for truant boy-when the
blood was sparkling wine,
Sailed he it with ardent Joy by the banks of
Brandywine.
On the banks of Brandywine--
When the Frost King held his sway.
When the snow hid tree and vine
And the winds thro' birches play;
Then with heart and cheeks aglow-with
the blood like sparkling wine,
Music in the winds that blow, on the ban ks
of Brandywine.
On the banks of Brandywine-
Yet see thy waters gleam.
Looking back DER speeding time,
Live again youths fairy dream;
Dream again and list thy sound-with the
blood like sparkling wine
Young once more and roaming round. ON
the banks of Brandywine.
On the banks of Brandywine-
With its romance and its 10y,
For its pleasures oft pine
Wish again to be boy;
Once again to tread its sands--with blood
like sparkling wine III
Grasp fair youth with eager hands, on the

SHOTS AT RANDOM Poems. By
Howell S. England, New York: j. >.
ogilvie Publishing Co., 81 Rose street.
| Price, 81.
Extra local interest will attach to
this publication from the fact that the
author, Mr.. Howell Stroud England,
is a well-known attorney -at-law OF this
city.
Among these "Shots at Random"
are many that attract by their sim
plicity and poetic sympathy, as well as
by their local associations; but 'here
are others that seem out of place.
A conspicuous feature is the number
OF war poems included. One entitled
Hold the Philippines, contains this
significant stanza:
HarS you, President Mckinley, there are
struggling peoples there.
| shall we turn their shouts of gladness into
wailings Of despair?
'Ganst the centuries of bondage they have
almost won their fight.
Striving upward from oppression into iip'
erty and light!
With the arms that we have furnished they
have tasted Freedoms bliss.
Shall we, in our hour of triumph, stoop to
treachery like this?
Make them now in meek submission kiss
again the tyrant's rod?
Give them back unto the spoiler? Never, in
the name of Cod
But this was written before our
military operations in the Philippines
before, by our merciless campaign
against q people fighting for liberty
and independence, we had turned
their shouts Of gladness into wailings
of despair" +"
Another poem, under the title,
20, That We're a Niger, seem:
too brutal for joke and too in
consistent to be considered in any
other light 1t opens
I've written, scrawled and scribbled,
For fifteen years or so, .
I've tried my luck i'll every style
That English verse will 60,
To periodicals galore
My stanzas have sent
But none were quite available.
No matter where they went.
o, that l were a Niger,
And wrote my name Dunbar,
How quickly should tigger 49,.

h Upon those who know the real poeti
and literary genius of Paul Lawrenc
Dunbar, the colored poet and author
and have recognized in the force OF hi
ability tho possibilities OF She colorot

ness. Perhaps, however, the poet di'

SPAIN AFTER LOST SHIPS
MAY TRY TO BUY THEM BACK
FROM UNCLE SAM.
The Gunboats in the Philippines are
Now in Use and Needed-Reina Mer-
cedes a Show Ship.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-An offer
from prominent firm of ship brokers
doing a large foreign business to pur-
chase the Reina Mercedes and any and
all of the other war craft captured dur
ing the late war has aroused a suspi-
cion that Spain is trying in this indirect
manner to obtain possession of the YES
sells and thus remove the offense to
Spanish pride, caused by the floating of
the American flag over her ships. The
offer metiOned no figures but simply
requested that the Navy Department
name it's price for the Mercedes and
the remainder of the captured Spanish
ships. The Navy Department will not
sell any of these vessels, and that an
swer will be turned to the writer of
the letter Secretary Long has decided
thatit would not pay to attempa to rem
ovate the Mercedes and to use her as a
warship. The cost would be not less
than half million dollars, and the ship
would, when repaired, be of old type
and not up to the requirements of mod
ern naval ships. Therefore, the repairs
to be made upon her will be confined to
a little painting and cleaning and
patching, and the Mercedes will be left
as show ship, like the old Constitu-
ton, to crafty the patriotism of the
American people.
