This is the room where she sieps
Only year ago
f,niet and carefully swept.
SpI;nds aud cur aims like snow,
There nv the bed in the dusky gloom,
She wonld kneel with her tiny clasped
hands and pray!
JJero il the little white rose OF q room,
With the fragrance fed away
Nelly. grandfather's pet,
With her wise little face
1 seem to hear her YET
Singing about the place; .
Rnt the crowds roll on, and the streets are
drear, ....
And the world seems hard with bitter
And Nelly is singing elsewhere-andh here
Is the little white rose OF room.
WHY, if she stood just there,
Asshe used to do,
With her long light yellow hair,
And her eyes OF blue
II she stood, say, at the edge OF the bed,
And ran to my side with a hving toucn,
Though know she is quiet, and burned, ana
dead,
/ should not wonder much.
For she was so young, you know
Only seven years old,
And she loved me, loved me so,
Though was gray and Old;
And her face was so wise and so sweet to see,
And it still looked living when she lay
dead,
And she used to plead for mother and nee
By the side of that very bed
I wonder, now, if she
Knows am standing here,
Feeling, wherever she be,
We hold the place so dear
1t can not be that she sleeps too sound,
Still in her little night gown dressed,
Not to hear my footsteps sound
In the room where she used to rest.
I have felt hard fortunes stings
And battled in doubt and strife,
And never thought much of things
Beyond this human life;
But can not think that my darling died
Like great strong men, with their prayers
untrue
Nav! rather she sits at Gods own side,
And sings as she used to. do!

chant.
The latter slowly continued his Journey,
and racked his brain in vain to elucidate
the mystery OF Vsughan's sudden depart
ure, but it never occurred to him to
attribute it to the coming in sight of the
detective. As he was in good time, and
was obliged to pass Fourth street on his
way, he made up his mind to call upon
Mrs. Wilson, and if he found her brother
there, to ask him the cause, fearing that
he had offended him. The widow was
sitting in her drawing room, and displayed
great deal of pleasure, at seeing her
visitor, and sympathised most heartily with
him when he narrated his loss to her.
She asked him a great many questions as
to the opinion of the detective, and was
hardly less confused than her brother had
been, when Mr.. johnson alluded to the
probability of speedy capture OF the
offenders, and added that his porter could
swear to one at least of the gang; Mrs.
Wilson at this juncture became so alarm
ingly pale, chat he feared she was about to
faint, and sprang up to open the window
and admit the fresh air. AS he rose from
his chair the door was violently opened,
and Vaughan burst into the room, his
clothes disordered, his face heated, and
his whole aspect denoting great anxiety.
Seeing Mr.. johnson, he hesitated, and
look of intelligence and alarm was ex-
changed between himself and Mrs. Will
son. He then, by great effort, partially
recovered his composure, apologized
for the mode of his entrance. and said that

SPIRIT OF THE GERMAN PRESS

The North German Correspondent says
It has created some surprise In several parts OF
Europe, as we gather from numerous articles in
leading foreign Journals that King William, after
the victory vi Sedan should have treated his I'm
perial prisoner with 80 much respect and delicacy,
and assigned him as HIS residence one OF the most
beautiful spots In the Prusslan dOminions. We have
shown, In our last number, that the King did not
say what the revolutionary government In Paris
found 1t their interest TO attribute to him. that he
was making war solely on the Bonaparte dynasty.
The chronic passion OF the French nation for enlarg
Ing their territory at the expense OF their nelghb0r5
ana particularly at the cost Of Germany, Is too we'll
known 10 King William TO allow him TO lay the
Whole blame OF the present war the shoulders OF
Louis NAPOLEON. Had France been peace-lOving
country, sincerely opposed TO wrongful aggression,
and vau1ng liberty and prosperity at homo more
highly than glory abroad she would have firmly re-
fused her support To the Emperor when she saw him
bent on rupture with Germany, instead OF first
greeting the declaration Of war with enthusiast
tic JOY ana then abandoning her sovereignin the
hour OF her common adversely.
We have spoken OF abandonment but IL IL so GER
tain that the French people have really and irrevo
caby disowned the ruler In whom the country so
lately expressed its unfaltering confidenceY 1t ~
possible but the proofs are still wanting. re-
publican regime 1t Is true has been proclaimed In
Paris amid the acclamations OF q pOpuace which
will be equally ready to cry as loud for something
else tomorrow. we are far from saying that France
may not finally and cheerfuly adopt the republic of
NJ Jules favre and his associates but till the entire
country has spoken We regard It as nothing
better than maxe.shitt II IN matter VI supreme
