Effingham, Grenvile, Raleigh. Drake,

Essex was fretting in Cadiz Bay
With the galleons fair in sight;
Howard at last must give him his way,
And the word was passed 10 fight.
Never schooiboy gayer than he
Since holidays first began;
He tossed his bonnet to wind and sea,
And under the guns he ran.
Drake nor devil nor Spaniard feared,
Their cities he put to thessack;
He singed his Catholic Maiesty's beard,
And hsrried his ships wrack.
He playing at Plymouth rubber Of bowls
When the great Armada came;
But he said, They must wait their turn, good
souls''
And he stopped and finished the game.
Fifteen sail were the Dutchmen bold,
Duncan he had but two;
But he anchored them fast where the Texel
shoaled,
And his eolors aloft he flew
'Tve taken the depth a fathom,'' he cried,
"And I'll sink with right good will,
For know when we're all of us under the tide
Ny flag will be futtering still. %
splinters were flying above. below,
When Nelson sailed the Sound;
''Mark you, | wouldn't be elsewhere now,''
Said ne, "for thousand pound'
The Admiral's signal bade him fly,
But ne wickedly wagged his head;
He elapped the glass to his sightless eye,
And m II / Saa - ba
Admirals all, they said their say
(The echoes ringing stilD
Admirals all, they went their way
To the haven under the hill.
But they left us kingdom none can take
To the realm of the eircling sea-
To be ruled by the rightful sons of Blake,
And the Rodneys yet to be.
Admrals all, for England's sake,
Honor be yours and famei
And honor, as long waves shall break,
To Nelson's peerless name

From off the pillow lifts his head,
While Ger him comes a sudden dread,
And yet he dare not seek light.

CURRENT VERSE.
An Autumn Morninr.

The fields are bathed in shades OF fimy mist,
Beneath low skies set deep in amethyst,
Shot through with thousand rays;
Beyond. the hills upliit their crowns Of wood,
As il 10 render thanks for every good
In silent signs Of praise.
Across the bladed corn the shadows fall.
From risen mist, sent upward TO the call
OF sunheams and the breeze;
The grass inwOven with silvery lace.
Fashioned within the loom and fretted grace
OF Autumn-laden trees.
The shadowy vsles have opened wide their doors.
Through which the its sweet retreshment
pours
Over the drowsy flowers,
Whose fragrance gladdens, like incense mild,
The happy hearted swain and prattling child
Companions OF the hours.
It's sunrise of the soul The heart and life
OF all the waking throng with being rife
EnraptuIed rise from earth,
Waiting the songs from myriad silent throats.
The morning breathes upon the dormant notes,
And charms them into birth.
Each day repeats the glad. recurring scene,
While nights sweet, restful hours lie between,
Its curtains round US drawn;
Refreshed, we waken as the Eastern skies
Lift Slumbers fingers from our wondering eyes
To greet again the dawn.
Ernest William butcher, in Pail Mall Magazine.
The Gagged Lion.
He sees them pass with veiled disdainful eyes
The shutting crowds, who stare with feeble cries,
What counts this jackal race Of men 10 himl
Beyond the tawdry tent the torches dim,
Lies to his gaze the tawny Lybian plain.
Where his 1.-the loness waits her lord in vain
Where tireless stars march down the Orient night,
And beckon him TO conquest and delight!
Now, as hot memory through each vein doth

As sweeps the simeon DER the desert verge
He springs magnificent in kingly rage
And beats the fretted barrier Of his cage,
Hurting his heart out in the cry of wrath
That once through covering deserts elave his
path
And now-suffices only to beguiIe
A gaping rustic to vacant smile.
Then, conscious Of his impotence, his shame,
His strength farce, his majesty name.
Shuddering he sinks; and silent lays once more
His kingly head against his prison floor
Too proud to moan, too weak TO conquer Fate,
Stares at the staring crowd in brooding hate.

Chat jackal throng whom thou dost hate as

One king, as thou, who sees through prison bars,

"A Bitter Heritage" is a story of love
and adventure, by John Bloundelle Bur-
Ton, and like the authors other works il is
frankly sensations story. The only trouble
with Mr. Burtons work is that he does
not always take care 10 keep his plot in
the shade. He allows it to spring up and
wither in the giaring light of day, In the
very first chapter, like Jonah's gourd In
this particular book 1t would have been
comparatively easy to avoid such misstep.
In a play, the audience likes TO be taken
into the secret of the hero's fate, but the
reader of book feels differently. 1t is
better that the denouement should, il pos
sible, be surprise.
The hero OF the story Is a young Eng
lishman who is informed that the man
whom he has all his life supposed to be his
father is really his uncle, and that he is
the heir TO considerable estate in Hon
duras After his uncle's death the young
man naturally goes TO look after his prop
erty, and discovers, much to his surprise
that the estate is already in the possession
of man of his own age. who has been re-
garded by all the people of the neighbor-
hood as the rightful heir. The very trans
parent fact is that this supposed heir is
really the son of a Frenchwoman who is
the housekeeper at the mansion; but though
