Nor palaces of pearl and gold;
Give me child for all delight

Nor snowy raiment, fold on fold,
Give me a little boy all mine

Give me no gold and starry crown,
Nor harps, nor palm branches unrOlled.
Give NE nesting head of brown

Give me a cheek that's like the peach,

HE'S DEAD.

John Masefcld in Salt Water Ballads"
He lay dead on the cluttered deck and stared
at the cold skies
With never a friend to mourn for him. nor a
hand to close his eyes;
BILL he's dead was all they said; hes dead
n there he lies"
The mate came forward at seven bells, and spat
across the rail;
'Just lash him up wi some holystone In a clout

M, rot ye, get gait ye, ye're slower n

When the rising was a copper disk and

We dumped him down to the swaying weeds

VERSES BY COWPER.
FROM A wOMAN's sCRAPBOOK

From Notes and Queries
I have before me the sCrapbOOk. apparently, OF
a Cambridge woman in the earlier part OF the
last century. Among its interesting contents
is poem by William COWper, a., / think, here
tofore unpublished. 1t Is introduced as follows:
A party at Lord Macclesfield's agreed one
evening to amuse themselves by drawing tickets
on which various vices were written, ana they
were to be turned into compliments by CoWper:
Vanity: Lord Macclesfeld.
Be vain, my lord, you have a right;
For who, like you, can boast this night
A group, assembled in one place,
Fraught with such beauty, wit and grace!
Insensibilfty: Mr.. Marsham-
Insensible can Marsham be?
Yes, and no fault, we must agree;
His heart it's virtue only warns
Insensible to vices charms
Inconsistency: Mr. Adams
Inconsistency there is no harm in
In Adams. where it looks so charming
Who wonders, as ..e we'll may boast,
Which virtue he shall follow most
Dissimula ton: Mr.. Conyers. who. after draw
ing one vice which he did not ike, changed
1t for another.
COnyers diSsemble? Let see;
Would I could say it cannot bel
But he's mere dissembler grown
By taking vices not his own.
A blank was put in which was drawn by LegE
If she blank for Legg designed,
Sure, Fortune is no longer blind;
For shall fill the paper given
With every virtue under heaven
Impudence: The Hon. Mr.. St John.
ST. John your vice you can't disown,
For in this age tits too we'll known
That impudent the must be
Who dares from folly to be free
Intemperance: Mr.. Gerard
Intemperance implies excess
Chang'd though the name, the fault not less;
Yet blush not, Gerard, there's need,
In all that's worthy you exceed
Cowardice: General CaIllard-
Most soldiers CoWardice diSOWn,
Yet Caillard takes it for his own
Bold in whate'er to arms belong (scl,
He wants the courage to do wrong.
Celibacy: Mr. Fuller.
married man can't single be;
This vice, cries Fuller, hits not me.
Guilty, say ALL for tbs we'll known
He and his wife truly one.

Only recently great Atlantic liner was an
nounCed to be three days overdue On the third
day there was no noticeable advance in the rate
charged for those who had neglected to insure
property shipped upon 1t. but on the fourth day,
when anxiety to both the passengers and the
property on board had increased, il was Omi-
nousy announced from LlOyds that the rate "
insurance upon that particular vessel had been
advanced to SO in $500 This Tuesday.
On Wednesday, when no further news had been
heard, the rate had jumped to SD in the 500
On Thursday it reached 500 and by trltay the
enormous sum of 500 in 500 was deciar.-I 10

And worlds within the hollow Of our hand
