But utterance was choked, and down his

sunk on his breast,
And the girish-faced Captain lay dead with

Drake and Fitz-Greene Halleck became ac-

year 1873. there was a group OF young men
standing near the park in New York. just
after shower. admiring a magnificent
rainbow.
IF could have my WISH said one. ''i,

and read Tom Campbell"
Immediately another Of the group stepped
forward and exclaimed:
You and I must be acquainted! Ny

MY name" said the other is Fitz-
Greene II lfieck'
The oft-quoted lines written by Fftz-

THE OCEAN BURIAL.

"oH. bury me not in the deep. deep sea-"
These words came low and mournfully.
From the pallid lips Of a youth who lay
On his cabin couch. at the close Of the day.
He had wasted and pinned. till DER his brow
The death shade had slowly passed. and
now
When the land and his fond loved home
was nigh.
They had gathered around him to Sc him
die.
Oh bury me not IN the deep. deep sea,
Where the billowy shroud will roll over me,
Where no light will break through the DARK
cold wave,
And no sunbeams rest upon my gravs
II matters not have Oft been told.
Where the body shall lie when the heart II
cold
Yet. grant ye. oh. grant ". this one boon
to me:
Oh. bury me not in the deep. deep Zee.
For in fancy I've listened to the vsll-known
words,
The free Wild winds ana the sonss Of the
birds:
I have thought Of home, Of cot and bower.
And of scenes that loved IN childhood'o
I have ever hoped to be laid when died.
In the churchyard there on the green HILL
side;
BY the bones of my father my grave should
be.
On. bury me not in the deep. deep -. 4
Let my death chamber be where Q mother'si

And a sisters tear shall be mingled there:
Oh, twill be sweet, ere the hearts throb

To know when IT'S fountains shall gush no
more.
That those it so fondly hath yearnsd for will
come,
To plant the first wild flowers of spring on
my tomb,
Let me lie where those loved ones will weep
Oh. bury me not in the deep. deep SEA.
And there is another: her tears would BE-
shed.
For him who lay far in the ocean bed
In hours that IL pains me to think of now.
She hath twined these locks and hath kissed
this brow.
In the hair she hath wreathed shall the sea
And the brow she has pressed shall the cold
waves kiss?
For the sake of the bright one who waiteth
for me.
Oh. bury me not in the deep. deep sea-
''She hath been in my dreams''-his voice
failed there:
They gave no heed to his dying prayer;
They lowered him slow DER the vessels side.
And above him hath closed the dark. cold
tide:
Where to dip their light wings the sea fowls
rest.
And the blue waves dance DER the oceans
crest:
Where the pillows bound and the winds
They have buried him there in the deep.

, Bryant early gave It . strongly Democratic
tone. taking a decided stand against all
class legislation and advocating free trade
He was a strong anti-slavery man. and be-
came Republican shortly before the war.
As newspaper editor and proprietor
Bryant was a thorough. industrious and
successful man of business-one who re-
garded thrift as virtue. In order that he
might afford to be liberal In all details he
was strict economist, and made economy
the rule of the establishment by his ex-
ample rather than by precepts Nearly all
his editorials were written upon the backs
OF old letters. which q less conscientious
man would have been ashamed to use His
time was carefully economized and, though
he had his hours of relaxation and literary
diversions. no fragment Of time was wasted.
Even his amusements were parts Of a COM
prehensive system" He impressed acquaint-
ances as being rather cold and austere.
II was said of him and his work: None
could long doubt the honesty the con-
scientiousness. the elevation and purity of
his convictions or his utterances.
And what moderation. candor and courage
he carried into his editorial work! Purity
Of thought. elegance and simplicity OF
style. exquisite taste and high morality
characterized all he wrote
In ls4o. before setting out for q trip to
Europe. Bryant purchased an estate on
Long Island, thenceforth his home known
as Roslyn. and later as Cedarmere. Mrs.
Bryant died July q. 1866. and the poet suf-
fered the one great sorrow OF his life. At
the age OF 50 Bryant died. June Il. 1875. and
his body was buried by the side Of his wife
at Roslyn. He left two daughters, the
elder Of whom married Parke Goodwin.
This story OF Bryant IL told by an as
sociate: Soon after l began the duties of
literary editor. Mr.. Bryant, who was read
ing review of a little book Of wretchedly
hating verse. said to me: wish you would
deal very gently with poets, especially the
weaker ones Later. l had a very bad case
of poetic idiocy to deal with. and as Mr..
Bryant happened to come into my room
while / debating the matter in my
mind. said TO him that l was greatly en-
barTassed by his injunction to deal gently
with poets. and pointed out to him the TT
ter impossibility Of finding anything to
praise lightly to condemn in the book
before me. After l had read some Of its
stanzas to him, he answered:
No; you can't praise II, OF course. It
won't do to lie about 1t: but'-turning tho
volume in his hand and inspecting it-you
might say that the binding is securely put
on. and ,hat-well. the binder had planned
the edges pretty smooth"

PLAIN LANGUAGE FROM

TRUTHFUL JAMES
liable Mountain. 1s10)
Which I wish TO remark
And my language is plain
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain.
The heather Chinee is peculiar.
Which the same l would rise TO explain.
All Sin was his name:
And shall not deny
In regard TO the same
What that name might imply.
But his smile II was pensive and childlike
AS l frequent remarked 10 Bill Nye.
Ii was August tina third:
And quite soft was the skies;
Which it might he inferred
That All Sin was likewise:
Yet he played it that day upon William
And me in way despise.
Which We had small game.
And All Sin took a hand.
II was Euchre. The Same
He did not upderstand:
But he smiled as he sa; by the table.
With the smile that was childike and bland
Yet the cards they were stocked
In a way that ] grieve.
And my feelings were shocked
At the state of Nye's sleeve:
Which was stuffed full of aces and bowers
And the same with intent to deceive.
But the hands that were played
By that heather Chnee,
And the points that he made.
We're quite frightful to see
Till at last he put down a right bower.
Which the same Nye had dealt unto me.
Then looked up at Nye,
And he gazed upon me:
And he rose with a sigh.
And said, can this be?
We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor
And he went for that heather Chinee.
In the scene that ensued
did not take a hand,
But the floor it was strewed
Like the leaves on the strand
With the cards All Sin had been hiding
In the game 'he did not understand"
In his sleeves, which were long.
He had twenty-four jacks
Which was coming it strong.
Yet l state but the facts.
And We found on his nails. which were ia

THE BALTIMORE GREYS.

+, All. well 1 remember that long summers

Our knapsacks were empty, our uniforms

Howards and Kanes.
The grandsons of Carroll, the nephews Of

And as the brave boys dressed up in row,
You could see the pure blood of Huguenot

But we were old vets of stonewalIs bri-

We had been fighting SO long that war
seemed trade.
And some of US laughed at the youngsters
so gay,
Who had come to the battle as II coming
to play.
And all through the camp you could hear
the rough wits
