Prince Boltikoff:
an t-warder Tightlock . We captured him seven miles the other side of Yarchester . ^ boy saw him about daylight hiding behind a hedge changing his shirt—that he had on was marked with the Broad Arrow . We were informed , gave chase ,
and , after a sharp tussle , took him . Will you allow me to lodge him in your guardroom till the prison-van arrives ? I consented , and went out with Finch to see the culprit , who was handcuffed and still in my clothes .
" Well , prince , " I began . " Pardon me , " he said , gravely , " I am incog . ; travelling under the name of Twoshoes . My equerry here Mr . Tightlock , will exp lain . " " Always was a rum ' uu to patter . Flash
as you like , and artful , " said Mr . Tightlock . " How he got away was marvellous ; like magic , " said the senior warder . " He was here to-day "
"And will be gone again to-morrow , put in the incorrigible rogue . "But , while I have the opportunity , allow me to thank M . Carruthers for his generous hospitality ; and perhaps you , sir , " he went on to Bob Finch , " will convey to your brother officers an invitation to visit meat
Talkham ? The place is rough , but I am compelled to make it my residence for the present , and if any care to come over I shall be happy to give them their revenge . " " And the mess plate , Twoshoes ?" " Made into white soup hours ago . " " Melted down that is , " remarked Tightlock , by way of explanation . And that was all we ever heard of it .
A Voice In Nature.
A VOICE IN NATURE .
BY REV . M . GORDON , M . A . "' A Voice in Nature , ' intended as a brief Poetical Exposition of Psalm XIX , 1 , was written several years ago when the Author was a Student in the University of Dublin , where he obtained a Vice-Chancellor ' Prize for itthe themewhich
s ; , was originall y in Latin— ' Cali enarrant gloriamDei 'having been proposed to all Undergraduates in the usual form as a subject for composition , whether in week , Latin , or English verse . " IBERE is a Voice in Nature—heard , indeed ,
A Voice In Nature.
Not by an ear of flesh , but sweeter far In reason ' s ear , than all the varied tones Of finest modulation , or the chords Of earthly music ; plain alike to all , To all extended , and by most confest . No clime so rude that hath not own'd its pow ' r :
Ev ' n the old Briton , who , engirt with rocks And deafen'd by the all-surrounding main , Cast his blue eye upon the scowling heav'ns , For ever darken'd with a waste of clouds : E ' en he felt rapture , when by fits the
moon Now lit their edges , and now bursting forth Shed her broad splendour o ' er the rugged scene . What , then , must they of eastern climes have felt , Whose skies are ever clear and ever bright ,
And ever open to th' enquiring eye ; Whose soul partakes the nature of those climes , Which light their black eyes with a triple fire 1 Hence the Chaldean shejsherd , who kept
watch Among the mountains , leaning on his crook , Stretch'd on a bank on which the moonlight slept , For ages look'd out for Messiah ' s star ;
Or wand'ring by the solitary stream Of broad Euphrates , view'd th' invert'd heav ' ns Reflected in the wave ; or from the walls Of hundred-gated Babylon , while all The City slept , with philosophic eye Mark'd out , and nam'd , each constellation bright , The lunar course and planetary fire .
But modem days Gods wonders more disclos'd . For this each night in some star-gazing tow ' r That overlook'd the subject city wide , The sleepless sage beheld each distant
taper Fade one by one , and in the gloom expire ; Except his own , which , like the stars he i'Vview'd , Burn'd , while the rest were in oblivion sunk . He , wraped in mantle of loose-folding lawn
