SONG OF THE TEN-,NCH SHELL

From the noiseless gloom Of the inner tomt
They raise the drossy ore:
From the binding red of my flame birthbed
My glowing frame they pour;
With rhythmic beat Of dancing feet
The great trip -ha miners swing
They forge me WELL the shapely shell,
Bride Of the battle-king.
Now still stand: on either ha%d
My right companions be.
Gray. grim and lean as the shallow seen
OF the shark in the dusky sea:
Till the bugIe shrill my time fulfill,
And away at last ride
TO the light of the sun. where my bride
groom gun
Shall clasp me a moments bride.
"A touch. a spark. and bark! oh. hark!-
Impregnated with fire,
Hot with the heat of hate, and fleet
With the fury of desire
! fly! fly! my goal is nigh;
light the whiring she'll
And the air around shrieks to the sound
And the agony Of hell!
The iron beams give, the steel plates rive
To my tyrannous claim Of way:
The sea leaps in where l lightly win
Down from the light of day,
Down. down we go. the shattered foe
And that dealt the doom,
Back to the night, mine old birthright,
And the silence of the tomb!

AN ODD CHRISTENING.

Sea Captain Who Had Ideas

There lives man in Detroit, intclu-

as something of distinction to be alone

parents whom barely recall loved me
and had care for my safety III the
catastrophe that must have caused
their own deaths. I was cold, hungry,
thirsty and sleepy when taken aSoa-d
the old-time trader. My appearance
was of course against me, and my
clamor to be supplied with creature
comforts did not please the gruft cap
tain, who had dense ignorance OF chil-
dren and their management. His first
order was to give me the ropes end,
but there was successful interceusion
and I was cared for while he growIed
at his hard luck.
"But the captain took sick and found
more comfort in my prattle than in any
thing else provided for him. He took
great liking to me and. called me biz

that I must be christened, one of the
few things that he knew should be at

course there was no chaplain aboard
so the captain himself undertook the
ceremony. He gathered the crew about

whether anyone knew just cause why

room, putting a finishing touch to the edge
of the dagger which D'Entrangues had left
with, or rather in me, and congratulating
myself that the blade was not a poisoned
one, when heard, as from distance, a hum
OF voices, which gradually swelled into a
great roar, and above this the changing of a
bell with peculiar discordant note. Almost
at the same time old Ceci hustled into my
room, evidently in state of high excite
ment, and called out:
"Messer Donati-Messer Donati! 1t is to
be war-war!"
I should add here that had judged it
prudent to take another name on entering
Florence, and adopted the first one that
struck ME, although / afterwards thought
that Donati was not quite the name to win
favor with the Florentines, amongst whom
the memory of Messer Corso was still green,
although so many years had passed since he
was done with. Whether let my own name
out or not during my illness am unable to
say; at any rate, Ceci never gave me any
such hint. The news the old man brought
was not unexpected by me, yet I caught a
touch of his excitement and answered:
"War-where? Tell me-"
1T is this way, signore; Naples has risen,
and the Great Captain has driven D'Au-
bigny out of Calabria. All the Romagna has
gone from Cesare as that" he waved his
hand as If throwing feather in the air.

l had almost recovered my full strength
and was accustomed to walk out daily al
dusk in order to avoid observation, whilst
at the same time could by doing so exercise

Waiter in q Dilemma.

It was in one of the large downtown res.
taurants that the short little woman and
her tall husband went to dinner one night.
"Will you have oysters" asked the man,
glancing over the bill of fare.
"Yes," said the short little woman, as she
tried in vain to touch her toes to the floor.
''And, John, want a hassock."
John nodded and, as he handed his order
to the waiter he said: eyes, and bring
hassock for the lady"
Zone hassock?" asked the waiter, with
what John thought more than ordinary in
terest, as he nodded in the affirmative. Still
the waiter did not go, but brushed the table
cloth with a towel and rearranged the ar
ticles on it several times, while his face got
very red. Then he came around to Johns
side and, speaking soto voce, SAID: "Say,
mister, haven't been here long, and I'm
not on to all these things. Will the lady
have the hassock boiled or fried ?"-Chicago

these books were obtained with the greatest
difficulty, so old Ceci, the attendant, said,
from the library of great Florentine noble,
in which nephew of his was employed in
copying manuscripts, and the old man
charged me an entire double form for the
use of the latter alone; an expenditure
grudged at first; but which would have
willingly paid twice over before finished
the volume. l inquired the name of the
nobleman; but Ceci was not inclined to tell
me, and l gathered that the owner was
probably unaware that his books were tax
ing an airing, and enabling his library scribe

nails azure; but l could not, for the life of
