Spelt-Bound; - '
His namo was. Ephraim Blodgett; not
- especially renowned;
Except as champion speller in all the
country round.
Orthographical aspirants were apt to fare
quite slim . ? ?
At any spelling-match whero they en?
countered Ephraim;
The spelling-book he had by heart, and
eke the dictionary,
And science, at his tongues end, laid its
queer vocabulary.
The dubious monosyllable he'd floor
with perfect case,
And go through words sesquipedcl like
lightning through a choese.
Yon couldn't weave a spell, with any
common alphabet,
By which to capture Ephraim, or put
him in a^sweat;,-v< .
And his 'admirers 'frequently remarked
of Ephe, that he
Could npe.ll the Chma-glyphics off from
a chest of tea. ?*
The people ceased to find, in spelling
sohoolsV their wonted fun;
What show was there against this Ortho?
graphie Gatling-gnn,
That mowed down all before it, with a
rattling fusilade
Of consonants and vowels punctiliously
arrayed?
Just at the culmination of Ephraim's re
: nown
He took part in a spelling-school in an
adjoining town;
Full soon the solo survivors of that
orthographic war
Were Ephraim and a school girl, his sole
competitor. -
With equal ardor, 'twixt those two, raged
the uncertain fight;.
Where victory might perch at last was
quite indefinite.
With equal nerve they came to time and
and accurately placed
The insidious silent letter and the
? - diphthong JanuB-faced.
In vain the weird and mystic spells upon
that girl were cast,
The cabalistic letters dropped from her
lips so fast.
Vain likewise for a long time was tho
effort to suppress
Ephe's * 'airy tongue that syllabled" tough
wordB with auch success.
The:: audience was' excited. "Stick to
him, Sis!" some cried,
And "Go it, Ephe!" his partisans defi?
antly replied.
But Ephraim was tho hero of a hundred
u spelling schools,
And, on the whole, his. prestige made
him favorite in the pools.
In fact, though, they were laying for
Ephraim. He got
The word at last that dropped nim as if
he had been shot;'
The word that choked the Welshman
When mortar from a trowel
Confused his tongue at Babel. A word
. without a vowel.
An ashen hue crept o'er his face when
Ephraim heard her spell:
' 'D-m-n-r-k-gg-m-c-k-11."
"Spell-bound upon a ragged edge of con?
sonantal" gasped Ephe.
They buried him with his spelling book
and a feeling of relief.
The sentinel who did not sleep on his
watch had left it at the pawnbroker's.
