TIME TWO FLAGS.
An Incident of the WSW 1n Cubs.
.!Au unfortunate seaman waa apprehended,
flitting the present Cuban war, for tilibuiter•
in ili4l was with difficulty reprieved by the
Vice-Centuls of England and America, he
being a emzen of the latter country.j '
.
Prone ' from the bia6k-browed Moro—the
cantle-crested crag—
Drooped in the drowsy. .poontide the red-and
yellow Bag,
'And in the seething city the sun with fiery
glare • '
Flashed on a sea of faces—a thousand bayonets
bare.
aoldiers with sullen faces—it doomed man
•.'' trembled nigh—
While a motley throng from every side poured
forth to see him die ;
And all the mighty multitude beheld with
bated breath
The scene of coming Slaughter—the many
throated death.
But by the pallid prisoner, bare-he'aded and
stern-browed
Strode forth two. valiant consuls., before the
surging crowd: .' •
One waved Columbia's banner, and one the
Union Jack,
While all were tilled with wonder and warned
the brave men back.
So, step by step together, before those armed
bands,
Raced the proud consuls, holding the ensigns
in their hawk:.
"Present!" The three stood silent, one 'mo
ment face to face—
The'consuls calm and steady, and the prisoner
in his place.
A sudden flash .of crimson, of red, and white
and blue--
The trembling captive cowered between the
dauntless two :
The three stood draped together beneath the
banners' fold— •
The proud twin Hags of Freedom—of the New
World and the Old.
Then, turning stern and haughty upon the
ordered line : •
"By these broad flags I claim him 'and keep
him—he is mine !
Thus England. and Columbia stretch arms
across the seas
To shield him. Strike the prisoner : you strike
through us and them I"
Thus outspake he of England. Like lions
brought to bay,
The twain with eyes defiant looked round that
stern array.
There fell a solemn silence; the rifle-barrels
•
shone
still at the doomsmen's shoulders men shud
dered and looked on,
Till in a clearvoice,crossing the bullets' threat
ened track,
Rang out the sudden mandate to march the
prisoner back;
And as the shining escort fell back and faced
about,
_.
From all the crowded plaza went up one
mighty shout.
A mighty storm'of vivas, that rent the sultry
, • skies,
Greeted the gallant consuls—the deed of high
em rise: '
Still louder, ever louder, went up that vast
acclaim
From all the mighty plaza bathed in its noon
day flame.
Onward to future ages, far down the teeming
years,
That sea. of upturned faces sends forth its
storm of cheers :
Long shall the deed be honored, and proudly
handed down,
To crown the victor consuls with Fame's en
during crown !
Rant° the hero consuls! Hail to the noble
twain
Who dared for truth and duty .the bullets'
deadly rain!
How strong to face the mighty—how great to
guard the weak—
Are these, the. great twin nations to whom
the helpless seek!
Still shall our arms protecting be stretched
across the sea.--.
Still shall the tyrants fear RS who set their
captive free.
Wrapped in a mighty mantle from hatred's
cruel scars—
The blood-red Cross of England, Columbia's
Stripes and Stars !

favorable condition of the latter. A rilstimil

terested in special subjects, such as
those of Mechanical Engineering,
Chemistry, Architecture, Photography, or the
like, might form sections and hold meetings •
in which the special subjects alone would be
discussed, thereby increitsing the interest of
such tueetings,aud relieving the difficulty now
