Have you heard of the great battle on New
England's rocky coast
'Twixt the Yankee squadrons White and
Blue? They were our country's boast
The White fleet kissed the waters far be-
yond the reake roar,
While safe at anchor I'm the bay the Blue
one Rugged the shore
II was on one fatal morning the Prairie
sailed forth,
And headed straight for Salem town for
all that she was worth;
But the kearsarge rushed TO meet her. ana
the most terrific word
Floated from her signal tower land or sea
had ever heard.
Surrender" was the legend; the brave foe
IL quickly quelled.
And loudly from the Prairie's deck, We
do we do" they yelled.
1t was then the brave White squadron was
captured by the Blue:
Then Yankee met with Yankee and the tug
of war came too.
When the brave but vanQuished enemy
tugged wildly at his sword,
To deliver to his conqueror when he was
brought on board,
But which the gallant victor most gracious
ly declined
The sight I'm sure would bring the tears TO
any but the blind.
So they took their great defeat as the good
boy takes his ONE
Quite willing thus TO TWO all the fame
they might AVE won;
For the mastery maneuvers OF ALL have
clearly shown
We can whip the navies OF the world be-
cause We have our own. SPICA-

When Day In Done.

When day is done. and from the gaudy sky
The glory fades,
Then quiet falls; and rest comes by and by
With nights dear shades.
When life is done. and climbed its craggy sleeps
All hot suns set:
When In vast JOY that neither signs nor weeps,
We then are met;
When rest shall hold our hands, and grace,
Like evening psalm,
Shall whisper peace! And from the troubled face
Heavens blessed calm
Shall every tear stain wipe away and tear;
With Christ at hand
No heartache can through golden years draw
near
That heavenly land.
