And girdle Of hottest red.
Helmet of carven silver weights
Dull on his dusky head;
And slaves are orouching in the court
And concubines are sad.
The palms which fan the cooling pool
Scatter the scent they had.
Lions are yellow anger burned
Spears Of the keenest, biting steel.
Tear the fair flesh apart.
Yet he has driven to the wars.
Swift be his horses feet!
7 pick a thousand buds to waste,
Here on the marble seat.

Gently returned from business trip
through the South, sees no danger

the rigorous winter. The labor OF
the South will have no such enemy
to contend with" Mills on colored
goods are running slack and there Is
