Broken vows.

Promises are lightly spoken,
Vows on which we bliDdly build,
Uttered only to he broken,
Go forever uutulflled.
Oft betrayed, but still believing
Duped again and yet again
All our hoping, all our grieving
Warns us, but it warns in vain,
From the cradle and the coral
From the sunny days of youth
We are taught the simple moral,
Still We doubt tile morals truth.

Let me tell you how he told me.
"Look you, Mr.. What's Your Name,

But the summons never came.
Through the meadows, daisy laden,
Once it was my lot TO stray,
Talking to lovely maiden,
In very spOOney way
And I stole 8 Biss-another--
Then another, then lot;

Idle words; she told her not.

Mr.. Whalley, the famous anti-po-
perry member Of Parliament, recently
introduced into the House of Com
mons a bill to regulate the dress Of
the clergy. 1t was intended to affect
the ritualists, but it made the singu-
lar provision that no clergyman
should wear "apy other garment,
covering or ornament" except sur
plice and hood. He subsequently
withdrew it amid inextinguishable
laughter. Mr.. Beresford Hope con-
graduated him on this decision, since
the results of the bill would have
been to give clergymen curions APP
pearance, and to injure their health.

I THINK OF THEE.
BY HaNRY j. HOWARD,

think of thee when mornings sun
Dispele the gloom Of night,
And Ger this busy world of ours
Speeds on his rapid fight.
And when the burning rays of morn,
The little buds expand,
Ny thoughts are borne away to thee
And to distant land.
When twilight shadows, gather DER,
Envelop land and sea,
love to spend eve's gentle hour
In thinking, love, of thee.
And through the silent hours of night,
W bile mb'ring plac'diy,
Ny thoughts are stolen by bright dreams
And borne away to thee.
At early morning, noon and night,
Where'er I chance to be.
NV mind and heart are borne away
Beloved one, to thee.
As on Tmes'e chariot wheels you move,
With spirit light and free,
One boon, tits all ask Of you,
That pou'll remember me.

Scene i'm MaXimilian's Prison.
Correspondence of the Now York World.


The Convent of the Capuchins is
type of the ruin that has de-
scended upon ancient public edihces
all over Mexico. Its towers, its
architectural ornaments, its distinc-
tive marks of any sort, have been
RACED Or torn away. The thick walls
enclose chambers paved with tiles
and scantily furnished. The mean
est neglected paintings adorn some
Of the walls. The windows, like
those of all Mexican buildings or
dwellings, are barred with iron. 1t
is natural prison.
My acquaintance opposite found
the archduke and his companion in
one of the rooms on the ground floor
of this convent on the afternoon of
the Sd of June. Macmillan lay
asleep upon the pavement; Prince
Salm Salm sat writing at coarse
table; two sentinels lounged at the
entrance.
AS the visitor entered, the prince
enjoined caution "Do not speak too
loud, sir" he said; "the emperor is

table. ..........

"Not yet, to day. This gentle.

the table, sis there from Escobedo ?"
The visitor explained, as before,
that he was not sent, but had come
to learn whether he could be of any
