SAMSON.
Plunged is night, I sit alone
Eyeleas on this dungeon stone,
Naked, shaggy and unkempt,
Dreaming dreams no soul hath dreamt.
Bats and vermin round nay feet
Play anhartned, companions sweet;
Spiders weave me overhead
Silken curtains for my bed.
Day by day the mould I smell
Of this. fungus -blistered cell;
Nightly in say haunted sleep -
O'er nay faoe the lizards creep.
r
Gyves of iron serape and burn
Wrists and ankles when I tura,
And my collared neck is raw
With the teeth of brass Sault gnaw.
God of Israel, canst Thou see
All my fierce captivity?
Do Thy .sinewa feel my pains?
Hearest thou the clanking chains?
Thou who madest me so fair,
Stroug and buoyant as the air,
Tall and noble as a tree,
With the passions of the sea,
Swift as horse upon mf feet,
Fierce us lion in my heat,
Rending, like a wisp of hay,
All that dared withstand my way?
Canst Thou see me through the gloom
Of thie subterranean tomb,—
Blinded tiger in his den,
Once the lord and prince of men?
Clay was I; the potter Thou
With Thy thumb -nail emooth'dst my brow
Roll'dst the spittle -moistened sands
Into limbs between Thy hands.
Thou didst pour into my blood
Fury of the fire and flood,
And upon the boundless skies
Thou did'st first unclose my eyes.
And my breath of life was flame,
God -like from the source it came,
Whirling round like furious wind,
Thoughts ungathered in the mind.
Strong Thou mad'st me, till at length
All my weakness was my strength;
Tortured am I, blind and wrecked,
For a faulty architect.
From the woman at my side,
Was I woman-like to hide
What she asked me, as if fear
Could my iron heart come near?
Nay, I scorned and scorn again
Cowards who their tongues restrain
Cared I no snore for Thy laws
Than a wind of scattered straws.
when the earth quaked at my name
And my blood was all aflame,
Who was I to lie, and cheat
Her who clung about my feet ?
From Thy open nostrils blow
Wind and tempest, rain and snow;
Dost Thou curse them on their course
For the fury of their force ?
Tortured am I, wracked and bowed,
But the soul within is proud:
Dungeon fetters cannot still
Forces of the tameless will.
Israel's God, come down and see
A11 my fierce captivity;
Let Thy sinews feel my pains,
With Thy fingers lift my chains.
Then with thunder loud and wild,
Comfort Thou Thy rebel child,
And with lightning split in twain
Loveless heart and sightless brain.
Give me splendor in my death—
Not this sickening dungeon breath,
+Creeping down by blood like slime,
"TzIl it wastes me in my prime.
-Give me bapk for one blind hour,
Half my former rage and power,
And some giant crisis se id,
:Meet to prove a hero's end.
Their, 0, God, Thy mercy show—
Crush him in the overthrow
At whose life they scorn and point.
By its greatness out of joint.

'You can go, Miss ; that is, if you
are willing to lose your place. Such
31"esulription ! to want to be away
for a whole day at this busy time !"
said Madame Deplaine, indignantly.
Sylvia Lynde's .large brown eyes
looked away from the Dolly Varden
bonnet she had been admiring, to
the sad face of the young sales-
woman whom madame had ad-
dressed:
'How disappointed yen do look,'
.Said Sylvia, approaching her, I
think Madame Deplaine is quite dis-
obliging. Surely she might supply
your place for a single day:
'It would be difficult, Z fear,' said
tie young lady, 'at such a brief
notice. Jitcuse me, Miss Lyrnde, for

Sylvia, 'I ask .no remuneration

wares, Is it a. bargain ?'
'Yes,' said Madame, slowly a
wonderingly, 'I should like you
be here by eight o'clock, Miss
Lynde,'
The next morning was clear and
sunshiny, and as Sylvia passed
along the broad thoroughfare on her
way to the millinery, she saw already
offered for sale the early spring
violets. How beautifully they look-
ed ! How fragrant they were ! How
they seemed to gladden the street --
those early- blossoms, harbingers of,
the coming season. Madame De-
plaine was in the work -room when
Sylvia arrived, and thither Sylvia
was invited by her to crime, madame
having seen her come,into the sales-
room through the door of communi-
cation, which was sth,nding open
between the two rooms.
'Good morning, Miss Lynde,' said
madame, blandly. 'I did not know
—I was not quite sura about your
coming. Please put your bonnet and
shawl here,' and she pointed to an
adjoining closet.
Sylvia placed thele as madame
had directed, and the apprentices
and milliners already assembled
looked with astonishment and ad-
miration at the young lady in the
gray silk polonaise and demi-trained
skirt, who stood apparently awaiting
directions with such nn. air of com-
posure.
'Madame,' said Sylvia, presently,
'I am quite ready now to be,' shown
about the prices.'

'I don't think you will find any
trouble there, Miss Lyne. The prices
are marked in figures, and I seldom
vary. There is some one coming
now. Remember, Miss Lynde, the
proposition was your own, and, after
a11, I scarcely expected you this
morning.'
Sylvia 'vent into the salesroom,
and there found two ladies in search
of rice -straw bonnets, untrimmed.
And she displayed the different
varieties of madame's stock, wonder-
ing to herself at the interest she ex-
perienced in her new undertaking.
For though she had made this kind
and generous offer in Miss Warren's
behalf, she yet had entertained some
doubts as to her courage staying
with her. Sylvia was called °,inde-
pendent,' and she usually- was,, but
this was a new form of independence.
Two rice -straw bonnets were
selected and paid for, and madame
coming in, received the money from
Sylvia, and remarked:
'An excellent beginning, Miss
Lynde.'
The forenoon proved both a busy
and successful one until Sylvia went
home to lunch. After her return,
until two o'clock, she had quite a
resting time, and then customers
began to arrive. The first aequaint-
antes recognized by Sylvia were a
Airs. Hillyer and her daughter Tate,
They had called in not so much for
the object of purchasing as of in-
specting the new styles. Without
hesitation Sylvia advanced to meet
them. •
Mrs. Hillyer bad paused to admire
a new shade of ribbon, and as Sylvia
advanced she inquired :
'What 's the price of this bonnet?'
'Fifteen dollars. How do you do,
Mrs. Hillyer ? Good afternoon
Kate,' said Sylvia.
'But 1 don't think it was very ex-
pensive, Uncle Stanley,' said Jenny,
'Nor T,' he said.
And one pleasant morning, when
Sylvia and Stanley North wore
married, Jenny wore the same
bonnet, explaining to 'Aunt Sylvia'
afterwards that she had done so by
'Uncle Stanley's request.'
