Night O'er all the earth the herald of the night, VVith feet soft clad in rays of setting sun, And with a trumpet formed of moonbeams bright, Proclaims the reign of darkness has begun. Twilight, the fav'rite of the night's mild Queen, In soft and sombre gown of shadowy gray, Xllith noiseless step, and quiet, and peaceful niien, Points out the path to earth,-the Milky Wfay.

We were of Drakels Atlantic fleet, A Spanish town we raided, NVe fired their town and sank their fleet- Our blood for gold we traded. Gone are the thunih-screw and the brand- We ripped them from their places. The Spanish whelp, Don Ferdinand A gallows tree now graces. 1 And now our ships we homeward turn, f Their holds are Hlled with treasure. For 21 sight of English downs we yearn, And a life of English pleasure. JAMES ALLAN, June ,IQ.

On the way back to the Ere, Fay was strangely silent. As soon as we had built up the fire, however, he commenced to speak. Kennon, he said, it's mighty silly, but I should have told you before. There is an old Indian legend about this valley. They say that a spirit horse- man had staked off the place. The Indians give it a wide berth. According to the legend, this horseman carried off all trespassers with a speed that made them feel as if they were burning up. At the end of two days he dropped them, rav- ing mad. Twenty-four hours after, they died. Also, any horses that saw this charger of the devil, died with the symptoms you have just witnessed. The Spaniards call this valley El jornado, in full, El jornado del Muerto, and gave it a wide berth. Pringle believed the stuff. Fay laughed, but it was a hollow laugh, a Frankenstein laugh, and it aroused no mirth in me. XfVe sat there until dawn. Then we struck north. At the end of each day, we ran into a mining camp. Wfith two incredulous miners and an Indian guide, we returned. Wfe reached camp on the second day. There in the ashes of the fire, lay Pringle. One of the miners turned him over. I can never describe the look that was on his face! The Indian sprang to his saddle and sped away across the sands, recognizing in Pringle a victim of the horseman. I-Ie had made it! El jornado del Muerto, the journey of the Dead Man! LEROY MCINTYRE, December '18 Forty Miles in One Jump CERTAIN man and his wife, who were making a trip to I-Iudson Bay, learned many amusing Indian legends from their Indian guide. One night, around a small camp-fire, the Indian guide solved two problems which have no doubt puzzled many a white, by telling a legend of his tribe, as follows: My father tellnm me this, him father tellum IIIIII. Once Great Manitou makum all animal same size as Injun. Deer him leg short so him no can run fast, and Injun catchum and killum. Pretty soon Great Manitou look down-no deer. So him takum deer and smooth down him hind legs and makum longer than his front legs. Then deer run very fast and Injun no can catchum. Great Manitou mak him too big animal, big as Injun. I-Iim jump forty miles one jump and suck Injun blood one suck. Pretty soon Great Manitou look down-no Injun. So he takum animal and smooth him down with him hand, and smooth him down, and smooth him down. Bimeby him very small. You know what you callum? You callum Heal HENRY SNYDER, December '18
