his audience: some authors arrive at
the desired end by making profound
studies of human nature. others by in
stinct and by yoicing feelings which
they have in common with the rest of
humanity. The latter class are in
no danger of writing above or below
the hearts of their readers. Frank l..
Stanton sings as easily as Il thrush
and with the ripping Tilt of a brook
flowing through meadow. His lat
est book is entitled Come One with a
Song''-no one but poet could have
given a book such Il name. and has
been made with BETTING care and taste
BY the Bowen Merrill company. Stan
tons whole philosophy and impulse Of
his singing are TO be found in the
tender little song which we quote:
Come. said Love upon day;
Come and fare my rosy way;
If perchance the thOrns we meet
They shall make the roses sweet
So with Love | passed along;
All the world was sweet with song;
Never thorn was mine. for he
4Ild them il his heart from me.
In the realm of negro dialect Stan
ton is sometimes inimitable. When
one reads the hodgepodge that is so
often written to order in this line by
yankee bards for our great magazines
one becomes more than ever convinced
that all this sort of thing should be
left To our Southern writers. The lul-
laby herewith quoted is perfect in its
way. II has the right swing that of
the cradle combined with pathos and
sweetness. Even Paul Lawrence Dun
bar will be envious when he reads it:

canru-sd spanish Gunboats.

The deplorable loss of the former
Spanish cruiser Infauta Maria Teresa
leaves us with only two small trophies
of the naval campaign in Cuban wa
ters. They are the tiny Spanish gum
boats Alvarado and Sandoval, and in
size they are not as large as some OF
our converted yacht-gunboats. The
two are sister ships, being identical in
all important essentials. They are
10 feet long, s feet beam and 5 feet
draught. Their rating is that of tor
pedo boats, although, strange to
state they have no torpedo launching
tubes. Their. engines are in excellent
condition, aud it is believed that they
can be altered to develop high speed.
The two vessels will be remodelled at
Portsmouth, \. II.
The Sandoval was dismantled and
wrecked by her own captain when he
saw that escape from the American
feet in Guantanamo bay was impos-
sible. The breech blocks were broken
off and thrown overheard and the
guns otherwise rendered useless. The
vessel was then sunk, the captain
afterward explaining to Admiral Samp-
son that his ship was in sinking
condition, and went down before he
could reach her. The Sandoval was
afterward raised ard reftted by Lieu
tenant Anderson under the superri-
sion of Captain McCalla. Harper s

Decorated Dogs.

To the casual and unsuspecting OBJ
server of dogs the CANNES of Frank
ford present very fantastic and in
congruous appearance. In this quiet
suburban section there are roaming at
large dogs whose hairy coats are tinted
with the colors OF the rainbow, ana
whose general effect puts the most
daring of poster creations to shame.
If the citizens of that locality were to
hold dog show they could exhibit
such variety of parti5coored CANNES
that would eclipse entirely the swell
functions of Germantown and Chest
nut hill. How the Frankford bow
vows came by their bizarre appear
ance is q mystery which many in
dignant owners of dogs would like to
solve. Some unknown person, who
apparently has access to dye factory,
has taken upon himself the task of
relieving the awful monotony OF dog
flesh in the neighborhood, and play
fully dips poor little cur into vat
of dye so that one half OF the dog is
colored bright and unmistakable
pink or green, IS the case may be.
This unknown artist takes the greatest
pains in his color combinations, and
if green and white, and pink and
black are not exactly harmonious, the
effect is at least startling. AS there
are many dye works in Frankford,
the dog owners are at loss as to
whom to suspect, but woe betide this
canine decorator when he is captured.
