between the Prussian and

mOrs of an alliance between the Prussian and
Italian Governments.
The great question of ALL however, tue posi-
ton of France, is not answered. The Emperor
has given no sign to the world Of what he will
do. He waits TO take that piaoe--for which
France willingly bears the burdens in peace of
100000 armed men-of arbter of nations; for
that CRISIS when both parties standing armed
for the struggle, bis word and his 500 900 bayo-
nets offered to either will prevent war, or win
make the one certainly victor. And vet II must
be, even TO the French Emperor, difIlcult path
to choose. With Prussia, he looses all chance
and hope Of securing the Rhine; with Austria,
he takes the side unpopular in France, of oppo
sition to Italy and the liberation of Venetia. So
doubtful would war be in It's issue for him. that
our hopes OF peace now may well rest in his
interest in peace, and on his influential advice
prevailing. .." ~

POETRY.
Wine! Wine! Wine!

Fill me Drumming beaker up
Of the red Burgundian wine.
OF the burning Burgundian wine;
Let the bubbles burst from the lip of the Guy
Der this frozen heart of mine
A heart that is numb, heart that is dumb,
That sleeps and gives no sign;
For the fiery blood of the purple grape
Shall Danish this chill of mine,
And youth come back at the potent spell
OF the great Magician, wine
Sing me wild and wildering song
A song of the olden time,
Of the olden, golden time,
The laughing years, as they danced along,
Rang out glorious chime
Of hope and Of youth, of love and of truth,
And all that is sublime
For the quickening soul Of the melody
Shall scatter the shade from mine,
And the buried hopes Of the past shall leap
Once more TO the light divine!
Give me long and lingering kiss,
Thou maid of the starry eye
Of the dark and starry eye; bliss
Through my waking veins let the thrill oil
Like fash electric fly,
And its burning roll Ger my yearning soul
Like levin Ger the sky.
For the answering heart OF a maiden fair
Shall ravish the griefs from mine,
And passion pure as the olden love
With the olden love shall Irvine!

LovE-The tender passion has been a
puzzle to the wiseSt heads since the world
began. The mysterious something which
attracts, and charms, and binds the sternest
man to the most gentle OF women, assumes
so many different phase5-appearing in as
many various CARDS as there ere styles Of
beauty, that it is incomprehensible even to
the lover, who knows he loves but cannot
tell the reason. Goethe, the celebrated Ger
man writer, was, probably, as nearly correct
as any general rule could be on 50 uncertain
subject when he said; Glove has nothing
to do with understanding! We love a girl
for very different things than understanding
We love her for her beauty, her youth, her
mirth, her confdingness, her character, with
its faults, caprices, and Heaven knows what
other inexpressible charms; but we do not
love her understanding, Her mind we es-
teen df it is brilliant and it may greatly
elevate her in our opinion-nay more, it may
enchain us when we already love. But her
understanding is not that which awakons
and infames our passions"

CHINAMEN AND THEIR WAYS. "A
California letter has the following: Queer
chaps these Cinnamon are, anc queer Gus
toms they have. In one corner of the
room sits my Chinese boy, reading book
upside down, and after the manner Of his
country, grinning like Il chimpanzee over
hierogiyphics that look like bunch of
black radishes. He understands it all,
though, and probably finds that sty lie OF
literature very funny. l attended the
Chinese dinner which was given to Speak
er Colfax, ate with chop-shcks, swallowed
q little of eacn of the hundred and eighty
nine courses that constituted the repast.
We sat down at sharp six, and got thrc'
at one prompt. Yes, | ate brolled bam-
boo and stewed whalebone-which per-
haps may be styled the spring vegetables
of the Chinese-sharks' fins, birds nests,
and other delicacies too recuperative to
mention. BY way of dessert, they have
picked cucumbers and melon seeds, and
all manner of sweet things. Taken as
whole, however, I don't think | should
ike steady course of Chinese diet, tho
the tea which they gave us was OF the
most wonderful flavor. 1t was served up
without sugar and milk and cost $50 a
pound, which is perhaps the reason why
they, did not ask US to take second cup.
You would have been amused could you
have seen each guest making frantic at
tempts to get something into his mouth
with the .chop-sticks. Try to eat with
knitting needles, and you will have some
idea-o The difficulty. of the feat. If I
were boarding house keeper, [ think I'd
ring them in upon my boarders to use in
stead of knives and forks. A little hash,
with them, would go a wonderful great
way. L Aanked the difficulty of taking
hold of anything with taem by sharpening
mineso at the end and harpooning the
meat and vegetables. ~.
