At sunrise shots are fired commemorating the tragedy of unhappy Maximilian, and then music, the noblest of national hymns, as the great flag of Old Mexico floats up the flag-pole in the bare little plaza of shabby Las Uvas.

Now breathe the symphony, So gently breathe the tones may vie In softness with the magic notes In visions heard; music that floats So buoyant that it well may seem, With strains ethereal in her dream, One song of such mysterious birth She doubts it comes from heaven or earth.

Beings shall welcome, serve thee, lovely as angels; The elemental powers shall stoop, the sea Disclose her wonders, and receive thy feet Into her sapphire chambers; orbéd clouds Shall chariot thee from zone to zone, while earth, A dwindled, islet, floats beneath thee.

Vainly the fowler's eye Might mark thy distant flight to do thee wrong, As, darkly seen against the crimson sky, Thy figure floats along.

Clouds gather over me The moon conceals her light The lamp is quench'd Vapors are arisingQuiv'ring round my head Flash the red beamsDown from the vaulted roof A shuddering horror floats, And seizes me!

But suddenly up-floats a misty shroud, And with thick-woven veil doth over-cloud The loveliest of all lovely shows.

First you swing across the Tiber In a ferry-boat that floats you in a minute from the crowd; Then through high-hedged lanes you saunter; then by fields and sunny pastures; And beyond, the wondrous dome uprises like a golden cloud.

They crowd past each other up and down the banks, bathing in the water, drying themselves upon the piers or floats, filling bottles and brass jars from the sacred stream, kneeling to pray, listening to the preachers and absorbed with the single thought upon which their faith is based.

I know that thy once lovely form, Now feeds the cruel coffin worm, And that corruption doth deform All traces of my brother, I know that life will swiftly glide, That death's bark floats upon the tide, And soon will lay me by your side, My dear buried brother.

O, fold my flowing curtains by, I fain would catch the breath of spring, And breathe its gentle, balmy sigh, As soft it floats on silken wing.

These cannot hurt them while on their floats; but woe be to them if they catch them while separated from that defence.

Emerson says of him that "he reported all things with impartiality; that he tells the great greatly, the small subordinately,he is strong as Nature is strong, who lifts the land into mountain slopes without effort, and by the same rule as she floats a bubble in the air, and likes as well to do the one as the other."

Engines crippled, propellers the same, and two floats so damaged we couldn't stay on the surface if we came down.

" "If we settle into the sea, do you think that with our damaged floats we can drive ashore without breaking up?" "I do not, my Captain.

All came crowding into the spacious corridor, its floor now laterally level but sloping toward the stern, as Nissr's damaged aft-floats had filled and sunk.

By the way Nissr was thumping her floats on the bottom, she seemed about to break up.

Strong swimmers every one, the Legion battled its way ashore, out from under Nissr's vast-spreading bulk, out from under her forward floats.

Surf still foamed about her floats and lower gallerysurf all spangled with the phosphorescence that the Arabs call "jewels of the deep"but unless some sudden squall should fling itself against the coast, every probability favored the liner taking no further damage.
