Baron Roihschild.
"The splendid New Years fe,es which
were 10 have been celebrated a, the Hotel
Rolhschild have been put aside on account OF
family sorrow, very young child, a grand
son of Baran Rothschild having recently died.
The Baron was so much affected BY this af-
Fiction, that for some time he gave up tho
care OF his affairs and neglected his vast eu-
ierprises.
"a few days since, friend came TO offer
him his coincidence, the Baron recalled with
melancholy tenderness the winning ways of
the poor little child, They brought him into
me every mornining here, in my cabinet said
he' | think see him now, upon nay table
overturning all my papers"
Al this period an agen, from the Exchange
came in. 1t was the hour when he came to
take the orders of The prince of finance, and
render him an account of the movements iA
the funds, and the aspect affairs on the Bourse
had taken since The day before. Interrupted
in the overflowings of his memories and re-
grels, NJ. de Rohschild fell inioa melancholy
reverie, while the agent launched bravely into,
the subject of his habitual VISA and continued
with the most minute detal bis expose OF the
state of financial matieFs, without being dis
concerted by The silence of his asdilOr, which
he attributed 10 continued aud deep caleulh~

SELECT POETRY.


Noflhumberlalu, feo' ~ 1911
Dear Sir.
enclose two beautiful selections for YOU
paper. They were given me by a young lady
OF fine taste, with u view Of their Iepubicu
tion Insert them as soon as you eau, and
obige yours very truly,
d. I.
The following passages are from Il sairca
poem called the 'Devs's Ptogress," written
by a young Englshmun in the year 1929.
THE LOVERS SUIT.
The writer carries his Satanic Majesty"
through many amusing scenes; and at last
takes him 10 a window and permits him TO
hear the following between two lovers
The Devil listened:
One summer eve, when the breeze was gone
And the nightingale was mute:
The mOoa was watching on the hill,
The stream was staid and the NAPLES still,
TO hear "A a.lover's suit,
That, half a vow, and half prayer,
Spoke less OF hope than Of despair;
Aud rose into the calm, soft air,
As sweet aud low
AS he had heard-oh woe oh woe!
And what do you imagine the lover said
Here ii is
"By every hope that earthward cings,
BY faith that mounts on anTel-wlngs,
By dreams that make nights shadow bright.
And truths that turn our day 10 night;
By chldhood's smle, and manhood, teal,
BY pleasures day. aud sorrows year,
By all The strains that fancy sings,
And pMgs that time so surely brings,
For joy or grief, for hope or fear,
For all hereafter, as for here,
In peace or strife, in storm or shine,
My soul is welded unto thine"
But, for the maiden's answer
And for It's soft aud sole reply,
A murmur and sweet low sigh,
But not Il spoken VOID
Aud yet they made The waters start
Into his eyes who head,-
For they told of most loving heart,
In IA voice like that of a bird;
OF a heart that loved, though it loved in vain,
A grieving, and yet not Il pain,--
love thai took an early root,
And had AN early doom,
Like trees that never grow TO fruit,
And early shed their hloon;-
OF vanished hopes, and happy smiles,
All lost forevrrmore
Like ships that sailed for sunny isles,
But never came to shore -
\ hower that in lis wlhcIiug
Preserved lis fragrance long,
a spirit that had lost lis wing,
But still retained It's Soug,-
A JOY that coull not all be lost,
A comfort in despair
