JUST MARRIED.

She stands down-looking on the sparkling tide
Of the bright river, half in bashful fear,
Half bounding in joy to find herself bride,
Her blue eyes glistening with an infant tear,
Her lips apart,
Her color raised, and you might almost hear
Her beating heart.
He sits beside the rivers bank, his eyes
Upturned to her sweet face with looks so full
Of admiration as if earth supplies
To him no object so beautiful;
One ringet fair
Has left its sister curl, and nesting lies
In his dark hair
1t is the twilight of a summers eve;
And crimson flush just tips the western trees
As though the lingering sunbeams sighed to
leave
That loving couple fair, sweetening the breeze
With honeyed words
Mid flowers and ripping streams, low humming
And singing birds.

rhe Crowned Heads.

We CLEAN from that courtly and aristocratic
annual the Almanacl de Gotha,' some inter
esting statistics about European Royalty Those
seyeregns who have ruled for the longest period
are the Prince of fSchaumberg- -Lippe, since 1887;
the Duke of SAKE Meiningen, since 1903; the
Prince of Schwarzburg Rudolstadt since 1907
the King of Wurtemberg, since 1916. The SOW
ereigns most recently arrived to the throne are
the King of Saxony, who has ruled since Aug.
8, 1854; the Emperor of Russia, since March 2,
1855; and the Prince of Monaco, since the goth
of June, 1856. The Oldest monarchs are the
Grand Duke of Mechlenburg, aged II; the Land
grave OF Hesse Homburg aged co; the Prince Of
Schaumburg Lippe, aged IA Tho commenced to
reign when but four years old the Prince of
Reuss Schleiz, aged 60 the King of Belgium,
aged 6S and the Pope of Rome, aged &C. The
King of Portugal, born in 1887, and the Duke
of Parma, born in l847, are the youngest reign
ing monarchs.
Few of these princes, excepting Alexander o,
Russia and Pedro of Portugal, who, young as he
is, showed himself, at the time of the pcstilcnco
at Lisbon, to be every inch king" are dis
tinguished for remarkable virtues or talents. In
fact some of them are, so to speak, notable for
their very mediocrity. 1t may be that many of
our readers have never heard before of that old
man, the Prince of Sciiauniberg-Lippe who for
sevcnty-one years has been the undsputsd ruler
of his little principality. What panorama of
wonderful events the world has presented in
that period? The star of Napoleon eliminated
and fell, to rise again in the person of his ne
phew. A race of dissolute, immoral kings have
passed away from the throne of England, leav-
ing Queen whose domestic virtues is the most
distinguished jewel in her crown. From fee
bic, struggling country, just entering upon its
career the United States have become a nation
whose influence is felt all over the civilized
world. The colossal power of Russia has shaken
off its long barbaric lethargy, and in the cman-
cipation of its serfs has proved its capabilities
for good. Rev olutions have swept over Europe
like sudden storms, between which men have
set their subtle ntellects to work to compass the
victories of peace, more glorious than those of
war. The steamboat, the railroad the electric
telegraph, the of anesthetic agents, the
spread of general information, and the increased
influence of the public press, have caused Won
derful revolution in social life. Yet during all
this period, so teeming with mighty events, that
obscure German, who became Prince in his
fourth year, has been quietly smoking his pipe
undisturbed and undisturbing, in his sleepy lit
tie prncipalty of Schaumberg-L -Lippe, and the
world only hears of his existence IN the annual
edition of the " "Almanach de Gotha"

Spread of our Language.

The spread of the English language is re-
markabie fact in the previdental dealings of the
Most High with mankind. Its study is increas-

the United States, well rs of the British Isles
and prevails over the whole of the vast colonies
OF North America appended to the British crown.
IL IS the language of many of the West India Is
lands, and is heard more or less, in all the GEN.

II is the tongue of the infant empires of Austria

whatever part DR.. Livingstone pierces from the

by tue most active and influential of the native
population; and in FIVE of the crowded perts of

so deals with the great events going on in the
scientific, mechanical and industrial worlds, as
to please and instruct every one. If the Me-
chanic or Artisan wishes to know the best ma
chine in use, or how to make any substance en-
ployed in his business-if the Housewife wishes
to got recipe for making good color, &C.,
if the Inventor wishes to know what is going on
in the way of improvements-if the Manufac-
turer wishes to keep posted with the times, and
to employ the best facilities in his business-if
the Man of Leisure and Study wishes to keep
himself familiar with the progress made in the
chemical laboratory, or in the construction of
telegraphs, steamships, railroads, reapers, now
ers, and thousand other machines and appli-
ances, both of peace and war-all these desiaer-

The Aromatic schiedam schnapps

Is consequently in great demand by persons
travelling, or about to settle in new parts of the
country especially, as well as by many in every
community, where it has become known, on
account Of its various other remedial properties.
In all cases of a Dropsical tendency, it is gen
orally the only remedy required, when adopted
IN the early stage of the disease.
In Dyspepsia maladies, when taken in proper
quantities, as q diet drink, and especially at
dinner, it is found, by uniform experience, to be
emlnently efficacious in the most obstinate cases
when even the best of the usual remedies have
failed to afford more than temporary relief In
cases OF Flatulency, it is an immediate and in
variable specific, and it may be administered in
diluted and proportionate quantities, even to
Young Infants, in all those paroxysms of gripping
pain in the stomach and bowels to which they
are especially subject, as well as in the collie of
grown persons.
Its judicions adoption in connection with the
principal meals, or when sense of exhaustion
dictates its use, fails to relieve the debili-
ty attendant upon protracted chronic maladies,
low temperament and exhausted vital energy, by
whatever cause induced. These are facts to
which many of the most eminent medical men,
both in England and the United States, have
borne testimony, and which are corroborated by
the highest written authorities.

TRIAL OF THE WINASs STEANER--The cigar
shaped steamship built by the Messrs. Winans
of Baltimore, has made successful trial trip
Baltimore papers say that with a pressure of hf-
ty-six pounds of steam to the square inch, about
half the capacity of the engine, speed of
twelve miles an hour was attained. The points
of the bow and stern barely touched the water,
and the even progress of the vessel caused no
commotion of the waves, but left a smooth wake
like groove The ventilation below decks was
perfectly preserved during the running of the
machinery, and at no time did the thermometer
rise above CO degrees Fahrenheit Another pa
per says that fourteen miles per hour were made
with a moderate head of steam.

Then do wear the crown,

The Lost American Race.

DR.. De Haas, of Virginia, whose discovery of
an inscription in one of the ancient mounds of
the West, excited considerable attention in the
archaeological world a year or two since gave,
recently, in the rooms of the Historical Society,
the first of series of lectures on the antiquities
OF America, rs throwing light on the ancient in
habItants OF this continent. He estimates that
there are 0,000 tumuli within the United States.
Their shape is very varied, and they arc smaller
and more numerous in the North than in the
South. Their situation indicates that they were
built by an agricultural people; indeed they are
generally most numerous in those portions of
the Mississippi Valley which are now most nu-
merously settled. In the lake region of Wiscon-
sin there are some which are in the form of an
imals. Most Of these mounds are places of Sc
pulture, and with the skeletons are sometimes
found brass implements, and even pieces of
CLOTH
Some mounds in the South and West have
been and are long built by the Indians but they
are different from the ancient mounds in every
respect. The ancient tumuli are never found on
the first terrace of the rivers which Dr. De Haas
supposed to prove that they were built before
the rivers had cut their present channels. He
divides them into mounds of sepulture, of sacr-
fee, of worship, of observation and of defense,
besides miscellaneous. The mounds of sepul-
turc rarely contain more than two skeletons, and
are square or ellipsoid. The mound at Grave
Crock, Marshall county, Va, is unique. 1t is 10
feet high, by 500 in circumference, and covered
with forest trees. 1t was opened in 1888, and
in the center were found a male and female
skeleton, in a small chamber constructed of
wood and stone, with a passage out towards the
northeast.
