Around a faithless woman% arm.

Whose spiriti from the deep are stirred:
Awaking with the morning light,
Again I listened to the; SOU
Rut with Its surges,
We heard uo dirges i
Rut only life's activity ;
Morning dispelled the gloom of night
At noon I sauntered forth to view .
The throbbing of that living sea;
Still It was surging, ,

. But only urging' •
All men to be both strouk and free*
Strong In the soul, with conscience true..
At Closing-4a) , onCe - more I -stood,
Gazing across that mighty sea ;

But Dux never got over the turn
it gave him. He became kinder stu

One; evening, in au out-of-the-way

an Old man with a Sledge hammer
for the sake of a miserable watch of
no value:
'Caught iL the act by a young po

James was brought up at the Assizes
for the fifth time. The evidenee,was
overwhelming, the defense weak, the
jury indifferent. While the dozen

Mr. Dux extended both his bands,
and received from tl ose of the ora

He weighed it in his right palm
for a few seconds, turned it over, and
then applied it to his-right ear.
