By whistling gales is onward blown;
> The tackle shrills, the timbers groan;
The rack is wild and dark.
No land we sight, no bark we see,
The ice makes in the forward
+ shrouds;
The blast that curls the scudding
clouds
Is cold as cold can be-
Sometimes the moon is red as blood,
Sometimes the air is white with
4. 81 snow;
IT, Yet care we not, but en- we go
Across the kissing flood.
THE swift flaws darken on the lee,
The salt sea-spray is flung behind,
II The canvas bellies in the wind,
The north wind whistles free.
And sometimes on still southern seas,
We feel the freshening of the gale,
That leaves behind our path trail
Like swarming silver bees.
The bell sounds in the quiet night;
Through driving clouds the full moon
plows;
The shadow of our blowing bows
Doth split the wan moonlight.
Yet still we sail and sail and sail
Through many circles of the sun,
Sometimes into the dawn we run,
Sometimes through twilights pale:
/ And though the wild wet waste is
N ID round,
We cannot sail for evermore;
There is no sea without a shore,
z Some port will yet be found.

"The Derby Anniversary Calendar;
being the records of six thousand note
worthy events, anniversaries, birth
days, etc., in American history. Com
piled and edited by George Derby,
managing editor of the National Cy-
clopedia of American Biography; pub
1ished by James T. White & Co., New
York; 366 pages; so cents.
Mr.. Derby has collected 5000 note
worthy dates and birthdays in Ameri-
can history and biography, and has as
sorted them according to the days of
the year, each day occupying page of
the book. Thus every day in the year
is the anniversary of fifteen or more
days of note, and the collection is not
only brinnful of interesting information
of value, but grouped in a way to great
1y assist the memory. For instance,
how few will remember, when Great
Britain adopted the Gregorian Calen-
dar; yet who will ever forget it when
told that 1t was the same month and
day that President Mckinley died in
19o1,->a day to be always known here
after as Carnation Day. 1t is also the
anniversary of the founding of Salem,
Mass, G62S), of the capture of the
Mexico City GS4D, of the battle of
South Mountain (1S62), and of the
Alabama Award (1S72).
We learn further that President Nc
Kinley was shot on the twentieth ami
yersary of the day President Garfield
was taken to Elberon, N. j., in the hope
of saving his life (Sept. 6. 1SS1),-a day
observed by fasting and prayer. 1t
was also the anniversary of the sail
ing of the Mayfower to America Q620),
and the birthday of Lafayette Q75D,
! General Rosecrans 1879, Bishop Arm
itage $500, and ex-Attorney General
William Fl. H. Miller (1S4O.
There are two noticeable features
about the Derby Anniversary Calendar.
The first is, the many early dates in
our history that would be difficult to
find elsewhere, such as the first
Thanksgiving in 1921, the first duel in
1921, Treaty of Peace with the Nara
gansett Indians d63S), council with
Sioux Indians on Lake Superior d679,
the first newspaper in America issued
1850, Giles Cory pressed to death for
contumacy 1892, New England shaken
by an earthquake (1755), birthdays of
Barbar Frietchie, Molly Pitcher, Aguin-
aldo, Mrs Mary B. G. Eddy, Miss Sa-
ra' C. Woolsey. Lillian Blauvelt, Will
Allen Dromgoole, etc. The second is
the unusual accuracy of them all, as
is indicated by the offer of the pub
fishers to give Ten Dollar reward to
any one who finds an error.
