A bird afloat. Swings around the purple peaks re? mote. Round purple peaks It aalls and seeks Blue Inlets and the crystal creeks. Where high rocks throw. Through deeps below. A duplicated golden glow. Far, vague and dim. The mountains swim, While on Vesuvius' misty brim. With outstretched hands, The gray smoke stands. O'er looking the volcanic lands. Here Ischls smiles O'er liquid miles, And yonder, bleat of the Isles, Calm Capri waits, Her sapphire gates Beguiling to her bright estates. ? ? I heed not. It t My rippling skiff Float swift or alow from cliff to cliff; With dreamful eyes My spirit lies. Under the walls of Partdlse. Under the walls Where swells and falls Tl%* bay's deep breast at intervals At peace I lie, Blqwn softly by, A Jploud upon the liquid sky. e> No more, no more The wordly shore Upbraids me with its loud uproar; With dreamful eyes My spirit lies Under the walls of Paradise. Charles Buchanan Read. s. ? '< Mr. J. R. Randall, the author of "Maryland, My Maryland." one of the sweetest of our national songs, in a series of reminiscences written for a New Orleans paper, relates an In? teresting fact concerning the beauti? ful poem, of which we here quote everal stanza*. One day as he was walking with Oeorge H. Pendleton, once senator from Ohio, Randall spoke of the great beauty and delight? ful rythm of the poem. Senator Pen? dleton said: "I know that Read wrote that poem before he had ever been to Europe, when he was dwell? ing In a poor and lofty Cincinnati garret The only Adrian sea he had vision of was sluggish river, the only isles of the Siren he knew were the slaughter houses, the only Vesu? vius was the smoking chimney-pot over the way. Tou see thst .the painter must have a model, bit the poet needs none. He conjures his poem from his marvelous, picturesque imagination." It will surplse many of our read? ers to know that this charming poem was written before the author had ever seen the place he so beautifully depicts. To most It seems rather a flower of memory than a dream " of anticipation. The Imagination of the true poet sees more completely and more truly than can the eyes of the rest of us. Although Mr. Read wrote many a poem after This one, he never came quite so near to "the walls of Para? dise" as when he was writing tffls, thousands of miles from the "purple peak-; remote."?Union Central News. Wanted His Dues. A reservation Indian was disconso? late over the breaking of his ax han? dle. He laid his misfortune before the "farmer" of the reservation, who, through pity, took a new handle from his private stock and adjusted it to the ax. The farmer then noticed that the ax was shockingly dull. So, mo? tioning the owner to turn the grind *tone. he expended a half hour's time in sharpening the blade. When the rehabilitated ax was given to the Ir dian he was childishly gleeful. but still lingered about, Indicating by his actions that some feature of the transaction had not been adjusted. The farmer was a little annoyed and called to an interpreter. "Ask the old fellolw what he wants now," he directed. After an exchange of grunts and gestures the interpreter announced, "He wants 25 cents." "Twenty-Ave cents! What for?" "For turning the grindstone."? Harper's.
