Yours," quoth Art, "is this profusion
Of the fruits of toil,

Loom and forge-work, clay and crystal,
Growth of seed and soil.

Yours the spinning of men-spiders,
Honey of men's hives;

What creates or costs men comfort,
Makes or mars their lives."

"Nay," quoth Handicraft, "the roughing Of the mass is mine;

But 'tis thy hand gives the beauty,
Moulding by design.

Thine the forms of clay and crystal,
Iron, brass and gold,
Textile pattern, woven colour,-
Gorgeous to behold!"

"Spak'st thou sooth," fair Art protested,
"Thou prevail'st no more;
Mine the hand which shapes the coinage,
Thine which digs the ore.

I am but a humble handmaid,
Chain'd to thy behest,

Thou, that in this age of iron

Dost as likes thee best."

"Nay, but," Handicraft retorted,

"On the upper floor

Moved I not through long-drawn galleries, Graced with all thy store?

Where on canvas or in marble

Thou thy might hast shown

Man and beast, sea, earth and cloudland,

Claiming for thine own?"

So was urged these Queens' contention,
Each, in answer fit,

Giving reasons why the other

On the throne should sit. Till at last quoth Art,-divided

Between smile and sigh,

"Needs there proof, that to this throning Ne'er a claim have I?

"Look around; though all these treasures Of thy wide domain

Bore my seal, that here I'm alien,

It would still be plain.

In the Building that contains them

Place nor part I owe,

From the domes that rise above us,

To the sheds below.

"Can I take this throne, surrounded

By so many a sign,

Whoso owns this realm's allegiance,
"Tis no realm of mine?

These glazed-sashes, factory-patterned,
Courts of shops run wild,
And where space had lent a beauty,
Hideous trophies piled?

"To my galleries I'll betake me,
There apart I'll reign:

Strive who will, no force shall make me

Own this my domain.

Lost the chance that here had throned us,
Join Queens, side by side;

Toil with Taste, and Use with Beauty
Empire to divide."

THE LION OF THE LATIN QUARTER.

[This Song was found strewn over the Streets of Paris in March of this Year, was in private circulation, and sung at secret meetings of the discontented. It is said to have caused much uneasiness to the French Government.]

No, brothers, we are not dead,

We have risen and burst the doors,

O Cæsar, look out-thy head

Is threatened,-the lion roars.

You smile, for he seems asleep—
Beware, lest as morning break,
He up-leap.

He slumbers one eye awake,

The Lion of the Latin Quarter.

Never yet the workman advanced
But the student led him to die;
His badge is the plume that danced
In the great days of July.

Arcole and Sarcy's noble race,
Whose arm was steady, and slew
Kings face to face,

He will bound and follow you,

The Lion of the Latin Quarter.

We grope, O mother, to find the foe
In the night, dark and deep,

Which closed thee in, fourteen years ago—
Pardon us, did we sleep?

But see, as the stars grow pale
He watches till thy sun glow,

He snuffs the gale,

He will spring upon the foe,

The Lion of the Latin Quarter.

Drunkards of feast and ball,

Bespattered with palace mire,

The lights of your carnival

Are yellow and blear in the new day's fire. The eagle is sad of mood,

The soaring eagle will fall

And his brood, —

He will eat them, a mouthful in all,

The Lion of the Latin Quarter.

If ever the foul crew come

A new battle to engage,

'Mid theatre, hall, and home,

About, young quack, to preach from his stage, Nisard to drivel and give

Cynical small moralities

How to live,

They shall see if it's safe to despise

The Lion of the Latin Quarter.

The day for cheating is past.

In the name of the people, we,

This third time and last,

That the Moniteur lie not, decree;

The people, your sham confessed,
Shall go up on the Aventine,
They, the oppressed,

And let loose upon your line

The Lion of the Latin Quarter.

Poor Lion! five kings whom fate
Flung to him, long years, between,
Mere tit-bits for a deathless hate,
Are digested, and he grows lean.
Let him who is next to pay

The last dinner's last score
Pass away:

He is growling for the Emperor,
The Lion of the Latin Quarter.
