And woe for the laggard feet that tread
In the mournful wake of the bier

What booteth broken spar
OF love thrown out when the lips are

Oh! far and fast from the alien past,

Where sorrowful steps must fail,
Bring help in time to the waning powers
Ere the bier is spread with-~the pail;
Nor send reserves when the flags are
furled.
And the dead beyond your cal.
For battling most in this dreary world,

And it's struggles forlorn with fate,

Roman Anchor Ring.

Two interesting relics of old Rome
were recently found in the lake OPP
posite Nemi, a little village near
Rome.
A magnificent temple of Diana oc-
cupied the site of this village, and on
the lake were always to be seen two
or more imperial galleys, which were
ueritable floating palaces, so sumptu-
Gus were their furniture and decora-
lions. During d great storm some of
these vessels were sunk, and from
time to time portions of them have
been recovered.
The relics once formed parts of
such a vessel, it is regarded as GER
tain. One of the relics is in the form
of a VOLTS head and the other Of a
lions head, and in the mouth of each
animal is ring for an anchor.
More than one attempt has been
made to raise and recover other treas
ures from the sunken vessels. but
hitherto all such efforts have been
fruitless. During the early part of
the fifteenth century Cardinal Colonna
asked the celebrated architect, AL
bert, to undertake the work but
though he found the spot on which
two of the vessels were lying. he was
unable to raise them.
