YANKEE SPIRIT.

Hiram Pearson, Of California, is
now travelling in Eurape. Recent
foreign letters say that, having arri-
we'd at Vienna, be applied to the
proper authorities for permission to
inspect the government buildings
He was refused on the ground that
no one but a member of the Europe
an Congress ofScience, then in session
at Vienna, could be admitted
Thereupon be applied to be received
in the Congress as member. stating
that his diploma had been destroyed
by the great conaagration in San
Francisco. This demand was COM
piled with, and be was treated with
the greatest consideration by all the
members of the body, except the
Archduke Charles, who took excep-
ton to his admission, as he bad no
diploma. Col. Pearson, feeling him.
self aggrieved at the manner in which
the Archduke's objections were
made, challenged him; whereupon
the Archduke descended from his
dignity, apologized, explained, and
all was satisfactorily settled. Col.
Pearson was admitted to the chair OF
Surgery and named Vice President
of the Congress !

| Saw Thee Weep.

I saw thee weep-the big bright tear
Came o'er that eye of blue;
And then methought it did appear
A violet dropping dew;
1 saw thee smile-the sapphire's blaze
Beside thee ceased to shine,
1t could not match the living rays
That filled that glance of thine.
As clouds from yonder sun receive
A deep and mellow dye,
Which scarce the shade Of coming eve
Can Danish from the sky
Those smiles unto the moodiest mind
Their own pure JOY impart;
Their sunshine leaves a glow behind
That lightens o'er the heart.

Wealth of British AriStOcraey.

The Duke of Bedford includes, o.
included, mile square in the heart
of London, where the British Muse
um. once Montague House, nor
stands, and the land occupied by Wo.
burn Square, Bedford Square and
Russell Square. The Marquis oI
estmiuister built, within a few
years, the series of squares, Belgra-
via. Stafford House is the noblest
place in London. Northumberland
House holds its place by Charing;
/ Chesterfield House remained in Aud
ley street. Sion House and Holland
House are in the suburbs But most
of the historical houses are masked
or lost in the modern uses to which
trade or charity has converted them.
A multitude of town places oontain
inestimable galleries of art. In the
country tke size of private estates is
more impressive. From Barnard
Castle / rode on the highway twen-
ty-tbree miles from High Force, to-
ward Darlington, past Ruby Castle,
through the estate Of the Duke Of
Cleveland. The Marquis of Breadal-
bane rides out of his house a hun
dred miles in a straight line. to the
sea; on his own property. The Duke
of Switzerland owns the county of
Southerland, stretching across Scot
land from sea to sea.
The Duke Of Devonshire, besides
his other estates, owns ninety-six
thousand acres in the county of Der
by. The Duke Of Richmond has
forty thousand acres at GoOdwood,
and three hundred thousand at Cor
don Castle. The Duke of Norfolk's
park in Sussex is fifteen miles in cir
cult. An agriculturalist bought late
ly the Island Of LeWes. in Hebrides,
containing five hundred thousand
acres. The possessions of the Earl
of Lonsdale gave him eight seats in
Parliament. This is the Heptarchy
again; and before the reform Of 1882, /
one hundred and fifty-four persons
sent three hundred and seven mem
bers to Parliament The borough .
governed England. Those .
arge dominions are growing larger I
In 1856, the soil of England was
owned by two hundred thousand cor
poratiOns and prOprietOrs; and in
1922, by thirty thousand. These
broad estates find room on this nar-
-ow island. All over England, scat
.ered at short inrervals among ship
yards, mines and forges, are the par /
ldiSes of the noble, where are lie
ong repose aud refinement, height
9ned by the contrast with the roar Of
industry and necessity, out cf which

ARneyine DelRsiOn.

1t is stated in the Boston papers
that in the examination Of respec-
table hotel keeper of that city or .
charge Of stealing $1,000 from u
store, the complainant testified that
he had consulted tie spirit, aid q for-
tune teller, and had been Informed
that hewould find the money in the
landlords cellar, Whereupon he had,
by virtue of a search warrant, over
hauled the ooal-bin and pulled up
any quantity Of brick pavement, but
found nothing. The man was Of
course discharged; but we think, with
an exchange, that its rather hard
that people should not have some re-
dress when brought up on such friv-
olous pretexts as these and charged
With such infamous crimes. IF peo-
pie 10 this age viii cherish such fol-
lies they should be made to keep to-
themselves and. not annoy others
with them.

There Comes a Time.

There comes time, a dreary time,
To him whose heart hath flown
O'er all the fields of youths sweet prime
And made each flower its own.
IT'S when his soul must first renounce
Those dreams SO bright, so fond;
Obi then's the time to die at once,
For life has naught beyond.
When sets the sun on Afric's shore,
That instant all is night;
And so should life at once be o'er.
When Love withdraws his light;
Nor, like our northern day, gleam on
Through twilight's dim delay,
The cold remains of lustre gone,
OF fire long passed away.

The phrase giving quarter orig
mated from an agreement between,
the Dutch and the Spaniards. that
the ransom Of an officer or soldier
should be the quarter Of bis pay
Hence, to beg quarter was to offer %
quarter Of their pay for their safetyy
and to refuse n quarter was not to
accept that condition as ransom.

OnEy Waiting.


Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown,
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam is flown;
Till the night of earth is faded
From the heart, once full of day;
Till the stars of Heaven are breaking
Through the twilight soft and gray.
Only waiting till the reapers
Have the last sheaf gathered home;
For the summer time is faded,
And the autumn winds have cone.
Quickly, reapers, gather quickly
The last ripe hours of my heart,
For the bloom of life is withered,
And hasten to depart.
Only waiting til the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
At whose feet I long have fingered,
Weary, poor, and desolate.
Even now l hear tho footsteps,
And their voices, far away;
If they call me, l am waiting,
Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting, till the shadows
Are little longer grown,
Only waiting, till the glimmer
Of the days last beam is flown;
Then from out the gathered darkness,
Holy, deathless stars shall rise,
By whose light my soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway to the skies.

LOVE IN BoYHooD AND MANHOOD.
The love Of a boy differs from that Of
a mar in this-it is the wanton enjoy.
ment Of a present imperious feeling,
from which all serious consideration
Of the luxury is excluded. Il is mere
blind activity Of newly'awakened emo
tons. Hence the rashness of early
loves. The boy wants to love; al.
most any woman will suffice. Hence
he is violent, capricious, inconstant,
because he only seeks an excitement;
he tries his young wings. The tender
feeling of protection, which enters SO
largely into the love Of a man,-the
serious thoughts Of the duties he owes
TO the girl who gives mp her life to him.
and to the children she may bear him;

powerful influences which affect the
