The enterprising American wagon

strong products of h s shop and its woo l
his working machinery, has not yet pushed
wares into those desolate regions. In

for the population rarely has any ready
cash to expend on modern improvements,
and moreover it has abundant time ou
its hands to whittle pat ently away ou
“fellies” and spokes until a vehicle w

were given a set of half-breed tools, ae.df

would probably ssrike work forthwith,
and call on his Union fora peremptory

THE SONG OF THE SEA WINDS. ^
Sow it sings, sings, sings,
Blowing sharply from the sea lln%
With an edge of salt that stings; 4
How it laughs aloud and passes, f
As it cuts the close oliif grasses;
How it sings again and whistles
As it shakes the stout sea thistles—
How it sings!
How it shrieks, shrieks, shrieks
In the crannies of the headland,
In the gashes of the creeks;
How it sliri ks once more and catshoa
Up the yellow foam in patches;
How it whirls it out aud over
Jo the cornfield and the clover—
How it shriek * 1
. rum s, roans, roars
In tho iron under-cave. _a,
In tho hollows of the shores;
How it roars anew and thunders,
As the strong hull splits and sunders,
And tho spent ship, temptest driven,
On the reel 1 lies rent and riven—
How it roars.'
How It wails, wails, wails
In the tangle of ths wreckage,
In the tlappiug of the sails;
How it sobs away, subsiding,
Like a tired child, after chiding;
And across tho ground swell-rolling
You can hear the bell-buoy tolling—
How it wails!
