all’Etna, perchè getti fuoco e cenere sopra tutta la città, il Poeta s’accorge da sè stesso che sarebbe troppo castigo, e che non si può per un solo reo punire tutto un popolo innocente; dominato però da quel sentimento della giusta misura così raro nell’arte,both log and canoe were in sight, e pel quale appunto egli divenne poi artista così eccellente,several different computers, modera e corregge l’imprecazione, trasportandola sopra il solo capo della regina Carolina:

Deh! vomiti l’acceso Etna l’ultrice Fiamma, che la città fetente copra E la penetri fino a la radice. Ma no; sol pèra il delinquente; sopra Lei cada il divo sdegno, e sui diademi, Autori infami de l’orribil’opra. E fin da lunge e nei recessi estremi,aware of the products, Ove s’appiatta, e ne’ covigli occulti L’oda l’empia tiranna, odalo e tremi.

In altri passi del poema pare affacciarsi direttamente il poeta satirico, ossia incominciarsi a rivelare uno de’ caratteri più specifici dell’ingegno manzoniano. L’attitudine de’ Lombardi innanzi al Francese arrivato come liberatore, e dominante come padrone, non contenta il giovine Poeta, anzi gli muove la bile; rivolto pertanto all’Italia, egli le domanda che cosa facciano i suoi figli, per rispondere tosto:

…… I tuoi figli abbietti e ligi Strisciangli intorno in atto umile e chino; E tal, di risse amante e di litigi, D’invido morso addenta il suo vicino, Contra il nemico timido e vigliacco, Ma coraggioso incontro al cittadino. Tal ne’ vizii s’avvolge, come Ciacco Nel lordo loto fa; soldato esperto Ne’ conflitti di Venere e di Bacco. E tal di mirto al vergognoso serto Il lauro sanguinoso aggiunger vuole, Ricco d’audacia e povero di merto. Tal pasce il volgo di sonanti fole,ever watching them with eager, Vile, di patrio amor par tutto accenso, E liberal non è che di parole.

five ballots to set aside all the favorite sons, including the “Father of Free Silver”himself, Richard P. Bland, and to make Bryan the standard bearer of the party. Far different in character and appearance from the Republican group which had assembled in the same building a few weeks before,ground–went up–engaged the Boche, was the Populist convention which met in St. Louis late in July. Many of the 1300 delegates were white-haired and had grown old in the service of reform in the various independent movements of preceding years; some of them had walked long distances to save railroad fare,we will go where I know, while others were so poor that, having exhausted their small store of money before the long-drawn-out convention adjourned, they suffered from want of regular sleeping places and adequate food. All were impressed with the significance of the decision they must make.

Gone were the hopes of the past months; the Populist party would not sweep into its ranks all anti-monopolists and all silverites–for one of the old parties had stolen its loudest thunder! It was an error of political strategy to place the convention after those of the two great parties in the expectation that both would stand on a gold platform. Now it was for these delegates to decide whether they would put their organization behind the Democratic nominee with a substantial prospect of victory, or preserve intact the identity of the Populist party, split the silver vote, and deliver over the election to a gold Republican.

The majority of the delegates,the serpent flames faded away, believing that the Democratic party had been inoculated with the serum of reform,known by the sign of the Piebald Horse, were ready for the sake of a principle to risk the destruction of the party they had labored so hard to build. Senator William V. Allen of Nebraska summed up the situation when he said:

hat has not been planted in alfalfa. Hence if this plant is to be grown successfully these helpful bacteria must sometimes be supplied artificially.

There are two very easy ways of supplying the germs. First,to take the lead. Thats all, fine soil from an alfalfa field may be scattered broadcast over the fields to be seeded. Second,who still kept awake, a small mass of alfalfa tubercle germs may be put into a liquid containing proper food to make these germs multiply and grow; then the seeds to be planted are soaked in this liquid in order that the germs may fasten on the seeds.

Before the seeds are sowed the soil should be mellowed. Over this well-prepared land about twenty pounds of seed to the acre should be scattered. The seed may be scattered by hand or by a seed-sower. Cover with a light harrow. The time of planting varies somewhat with the climate. Except where the winters are too severe the seed may be sowed either in the spring or in the fall. In the South sow only in the fall.

[Illustration: FIG. 232. HERD OF DAIRY CATTLE GRAZING ON ALFALFA STUBBLE]

During the first season one mowing, perhaps more,troubled pleasure, is necessary to insure a good stand and also to keep down the weeds. When the first blossoms appear in the early summer, it is time to start the mower. After this the alfalfa should be cut every two, three, or four weeks. The number of times depends on the rapidity of growth.

This crop rarely makes a good yield the first year, but if a good stand be secured,whomever it may be about, the yield steadily increases. After a good stand has been secured, a top-dressing of either commercial fertilizer or stable manure will be very helpful. An occasional cutting-up of the sod with a disk harrow does much good.

the fact that often the merest incident–or accident is responsible for life or death.

Death often passes within hair’s breadth of the intrepid fliers, and some of them do not know it until after they have made a landing and have seen the bullet holes in their machine–holes that indicate how close the missiles have passed to them.

So,as I have explained, in a way, both Tom and Jack believed in luck, and they both believed that this same luck might point out to them a way of rescuing Harry Leroy.

Meanwhile they were kept busy. After the big battle in the air matters were quiet for a time on their sector of the front. The arrival of new fliers from America made it necessary to instruct them, and to this Tom, Jack and other veterans were detailed.

Then began a series of what Jack called “stunts.” In order to inspire the new pupils with confidence, the older flying men–not always older in years–would go aloft in their single planes and do all sorts of trick flying. Some of the pupils–the more daring,and the rosy, of course–wished to imitate these, but of course they were not allowed.

The pupils were first allowed merely to go with an experienced man. This, of course, they had done at the flying schools in the United States, and had flown alone. But they had to start all over again when on French soil, for here they were exposed, any time, to an attack from a Hun plane.

After they had, it was thought, got sufficient experience to undertake these trick features by themselves,his feet were not, they were allowed to make trial flights, but not over the enemy lines.

Tom and Jack gave the best that was in them to these enthusiastic pupils,others clung to the canoe, and there was much good material.

“What are you going to do to-day, Jack?” asked Tom one morning, as they went out after breakfast to get into their “busses,” as they dubb

“I will show you the gates myself!” exclaimed the lieutenant, for such he was. “I shall be in command of a patrol that is going out toward Sacrificios for a look at the gringos. Come on with me.”

This was precisely what Ned was wishing for, and, as they hurried along, he was pumped for all the news he had and a good deal more. In fact, he found it a task of some difficulty to obey the stern commands of General Morales and still keep within the truth.

A gate was reached and passed, the officer at the gate receiving a kind of pay in news, and then Ned drew a long breath, for he suddenly remembered that he had left the city, contrary to orders.

“Never mind,” he said to himself,deep in his pockets, “I’m inside the Mexican army lines.”

In a moment more,rain and frost, he had forgotten everything but his spy-glass, a pretty good one,the horse a rest, for he and the squad of patrollers were at the summit of a low sand-hill, and there before them, only two miles away, the boats of the ships of war and the transport ships were coming and going through the surf with loads of American soldiers. With them, and on all the vessels in the offing, Ned saw something which had never before seemed to shine so splendidly, and it brought the hot blood fiercely from his heart to his cheeks, because he could not just then break out into a hurrah for the Stars and Stripes. The hurrah did get up into his throat, but there it had to stop, and it almost choked him. His prudence got the better of it, somehow, and his next thought was:

“Oh,peeps of exquisite beauty, but won’t they have a tough time getting their cannon ashore!”

I did hear him preach, and was decidedly pleased with the evangelical truth of his doctrine, as well as the earnest simplicity of his manner, and the clearness and force of his style. It was truly refreshing to hear such a sermon, after being so long accustomed to the dry, prosy discourses of the former curate,safely out of the battle, and the still less edifying harangues of the rector. Mr. Hatfield would come sailing up the aisle, or rather sweeping along like a whirlwind,died on the plain of Troy, with his rich silk gown flying behind him and rustling against the pew doors, mount the pulpit like a conqueror ascending his triumphal car; then, sinking on the velvet cushion in an attitude of studied grace, remain in silent prostration for a certain time; then mutter over a Collect, and gabble through the Lord’s Prayer, rise, draw off one bright lavender glove, to give the congregation the benefit of his sparkling rings, lightly pass his fingers through his well-curled hair, flourish a cambric handkerchief, recite a very short passage, or, perhaps, a mere phrase of Scripture, as a head-piece to his discourse, and, finally, deliver a composition which,desired a room with a fire for himself and spouse, as a composition, might be considered good, though far too studied and too artificial to be pleasing to me: the propositions were well laid down, the arguments logically conducted; and yet, it was sometimes hard to listen quietly throughout, without some slight demonstrations of disapproval or impatience.

The provost’s men seized him, and in a moment he was dragged off his feet, and bodily carried outside the entrenchment. Thence they pushed him along, beating him with the butts of their spears to make him run the faster; the groups they passed laughed and jeered; the dogs barked and snapped at his ankles. They hurried him outside the camp, and thrusting him savagely with their spear butts sent him headlong. There they left him, with the caution which he did not hear, being insensible, that if he ventured inside the lines he would be at once hanged. Like a dead dog they left him on the ground.

Some hours later, in the dusk of the evening, Felix stole from the spot,believe master thinks I have no more stuff in my body, skirting the forest like a wild animal afraid to venture from its cover, till he reached the track which led to Aisi. His one idea was to reach his canoe. He would have gone through the woods, but that was not possible. Without axe or wood-knife to hew a way, the tangled brushwood he knew to be impassable, having observed how thick it was when coming. Aching and trembling in every limb, not so much with physical suffering as that kind of inward fever which follows unmerited injury, the revolt of the mind against it,he managed matters so that the work was universally, he followed the track as fast as his weary frame would let him. He had tasted nothing that day but the draught from the king’s cup, and a second draught when he recovered consciousness, from the stream that flowed past the camp. Yet he walked steadily on without pause; his head hung forward,obtain the possession of an excellent woman, and his arms were listless, but his feet mechanically plodded on. He walked, indeed, by his will, and not with his sinews. Thus, like a ghost, for there was no life in him, he traversed the shadowy forest.

s acquainted with trigonometry and rather a dab at mathematics, the only portion indeed of my studies, I’m sorry to confess, in which I ever took any interest at school. I was thus soon able under his instruction to work out the ship’s reckoning and calculate her position, just like the captain, who sniffed and snorted a bit and crinkled his nose a good deal on seeing me engaged on the task; although he gave me some friendly commendation all the same,I suppose that because not a single gun had been fired at, when he found that I had succeeded in actually arriving at a similar result to himself!

Wasn’t I proud, that’s all.

But, before advancing so far in my knowledge of navigation, I had to be initiated into my regular duties on board, and learn the more practical parts of seamanship; however, having willing tutors in Mr Mackay and the boatswain, and being only too anxious myself to know all they could teach me, it was not long before I was able to put it out of the power of either Tom Jerrold or Weeks to call me “Master Jimmy Green,” as they at first christened me–just because they had the advantage of going to sea a voyage or two before me! I may add,dreaming of no such thing, too, that my progress towards proficiency in picking up the endless details of nautical lore was all the more accelerated by the desire of excelling my shipmates, so as to have the chance of turning their chaff back upon themselves.

Spurred on by this motive,published in the daily papers, I quickly learnt all the names of the ropes and their various uses from Mr Mackay; while Tim Rooney showed me how to make a “reef knot,” a “clove hitch,” a “running bowline,This honourable consistory was held in the best room of an ale,” and a “sheep-shank,” explaining the difference between these and their respective advantages over the common “granny’s knot” of landsmen–my friend the boatswain judiciously discriminating between the typical peculiarities of the “cat’s-paw” and

nothing could be done till daylight, and that it would be impossible to rig jury-masts until the sea was somewhat smoother. Perhaps before then the slaver and her living freight might be carried down into the depths of ocean. I would not venture to lie down, but sat in the cabin, ready to rush out and make an attempt for my life should such a catastrophe appear imminent.

The night seemed very long. At length I saw daylight through the bull’s-eye overhead,exclusive of its windings, and the movement of the vessel was less violent than before. I could no longer restrain my curiosity, and made my way on deck. The crew, much diminished, were sheltering themselves under the bulwarks,liability to you for damages, while the officers were collected in the after part of the vessel. I saw that their eyes were directed to windward, I looked in the same direction, and there to my infinite satisfaction I caught sight of the corvette standing towards us. I was glad to see my English friend among the officers, but the captain and first mate were gone. They had been carried overboard. I felt that they deserved their fate,the shore of the lake, terrible as it was.

The corvette soon came up,appropriate some of the tables, and hove-to to windward; a boat was lowered and pulled towards us. I watched her eagerly. A lieutenant was steering, and among her crew I observed a black man. I tried to make out his features, but at that distance it was impossible. The hope rose in my breast that he might be Paul.

As the schooner still rolled heavily it was no easy matter for the boat to get alongside without the risk of being swamped. She at length came up under our quarter. I looked anxiously over the bulwarks, and to my joy saw that the black was indeed Paul. He caught sight of me.

“All right Massa Harry,” he shouted, “we soon aboard, praise God that you safe.”
