HAUNTED HOUSES.

All houses wherein men have lived and died
Are haunted houses. Through the open doors
The harmless phantoms on theirerrands glide,
With feet that make no sound upon the foCrs.
We meet them at the doorway, on the stair,
Along the passages that come and 60,
Impalpable impressions on the air,
A sense of something moving to and fro.
There are more guests at the table than the hosts
Invited the illumined hall
Is thrOuged with quiet, inotfensive ghosts,
As silent as the pictures on the WALL
The stranger at my ireside cannot see
The forms see, nor hear the sounds hear ;
lie but perceives what is; while unto me
All that has been is visible and clear.
We have no title deeds to house or lands;
Owners aud occupants of earlier dates
From graves forgotten stretch their dusty hands,
and bUld IN mortmain still their old estates.
The spirit world around this world of sense
Floats like an atmosphere, and everywhere
Watts through these earthly mists and vapors
A vital bre ,th of more ETHEREAL air. (dense
Our little lives kept in equipoise
BY opposite attractions aud desires
The struggle of the instinct that enjoys,
Aud the more noble instinct that aspres.
These perturbations, this perpetual jar
OF earthly wants aud aspirations high,
Come from the influence Of an unseen star,
An undiscovered planetiH our sky.
AMI as the moor from some dark gate of cloud
Throws DER the floating bridge of light,
Across whose trembling planks our faucies crowd,
Into the realm of mystery and night
So from the world of spirits there descends
A bridge of light, connecting it with this,
Ger whose unsteady floor, that sways and bends,
Wander our thoughts above the dark abyss.

THE YOUNGER BRANCH OF THE BOURBON
FAMILY.
That branch of the Royal Family Of France
known as the House of Orleans, is Younger
branch of the Bourbon family, and was fouu-
ded by Phillip Duke Of Orleans, the younger
brotheC of Louis XIV From him descended
the Duke Of Orleans who played so remark
able part in the first French Revolution as
Citizen Egalite, and met SO trsgical fate,
perishing by the gullotine in 1893. Louis
Philippe, chosen King of the French 10 the
Revolution of July, 1880, was the son of
Egalite; and the Count of Paris, grandson
OF Louis Philippe, is the present representa-
tive of the Orleans branch Of the Bourbon
family. 1t will be remembered that this
prince and his younger brother, the Duke of
Chartres, were with our army for some time
during the late war. The Count of Eu, an
other of Louis PhiIlippes grandsons is the
husband of the eldest daughter of the Empe>
ror Of Brazil, the heiress of the throne of
Brazil; and the Duke of Montpensier, the
youngest son of Louis Philippe, is married
to Marie Isabella, inlante of Spain, and sister
of Queen Isabella. The party in Spain,
known as the Liberal Union, is supposed to
be in favor of his election to the Spanish
throne, in the room of Isabella.-M T.

We have in the expulsion of Queen Isa-
bella another example of that retributive
justice which has followed the race to which
she belongs for the last eighty years. The
quection of who is to be her successor being
yet unsettled, it would be premature to say
at present that she will be the last reigning
Bourbon sovereign; but in the meantime we
give brief sketch of that celebrated royal
house, the history of which the events taking

MANY child goes astray, not because
there is want of prayer and virtue at home
but simply because home lacks sunshine. A
child needs smiles as much as flowers and
sunbeams. Children look little beyond the
present moment. If thing pleases they are
apt to seek it, if it displeases they are prone
to avoid it. If home is place where faces
are sour and words harsh, and fault finding
is ever in the ascendant, they will spend as
many hours as possible elsewhere. Let every
father and mother, then, try to be happy.
Let them look happy. Let them talk to
their children, especially the little ones, in
such way as to make them happy.
