The Supreme Court of the
United State recently held a title
TO lands seized and sold under the
coatiscltion of July, 1869, could
pass only FOR the lifetime Of the
person who owned the land and
therefore, his heir must not come
into possession, This decision is
OF great importance in all border
States as well as in the District of
Columbia, and shows that these
contiscated titles arc merely good
for lifetime of the peron for whose
offence they were confiscaied, If
indeed they will hold good for that
length of time

making believe keep house, little way

you come back and tell me what she
says about me, and then I'll talk about

NONE OF YOUR LITTLE NUBBINs.-
The late drouth reminds US of the
story told of a Methodist brother at
an Ohio Conference: some years ago.
There was a great drouth, and the
corn crop in particular was suffering
for rain. Father B. believed in
prayer, and invoked relief without
further delay. He prayed for RAIN
and for abundant crops, especially
Of corn, saying: :.
"And now, o Lord, give us big
crop of corn this year. None of yer
little nubbins now, o Lord, but great
big ears, as long as yer arm-ah )"
1t rained powerfully that very
night.

% Several of the generals COM
manding in the Prussian army are well
advanced in years. General Won
Moltke, chief Of staff of the Prussian
army, chief commander at the battle
of Sadowa, and who is accredited with
planning the present campaign against
Napoleon, has reached the ripe age of
seventy. He is a soldier of the most
distinguished ability. General Won
Room is sixty-seven. He was on Wis
it to Paris in 1864. Napoleon asked
him how often he had been to that city,
when his quick but positive reply was.
"Only once, sir; in 1915" General
Steinmetz is also sixty-seven. The
two princes, Frederick William, and
his cousin, Frederick Charles, are aged
thirty-eight and forty-two, respective
". The former is the crown prince,
and commander of the Second Prus-
sian Army Corps. He is married to
Queen Victoria's eldest daughter
The latter is general of great ability.

~ A young man who lost an arm
in the Erie City, Pa, Iron works a
couple of weeks ago, still insists that
he feels pain throughout the entire arm
and fingers. Some twenty-four hours
after the accident when the mutilated
limb lay in the cellar, nearly beneath
the bed where he lay, he would tell
when any one was handling it, by the
painful sensation he felt. At one time
block was placed on the fingers to
keep them Strengthened out, and, al
though he knew nothing of the trans
action, he at once contended that some
thing was at once pressing down his
hand, and insisted that it should be re
moved at once. After the block was
removed he said he felt easier, and
was contented.

five years of age, and weighs two hun

them for several hundred yards with
apparently but little effort. He offers
to bet that he can lift thirteen hundred

FASTENED home from church to ascer.

Jennie in few words told all.
The machinery of the mill was al
once stopped. and the inanimate ruffian
dragged forth from the great wheel.
The other ruffian was brought down
from the prison.
Both were then bound and sent of
to the royal borough of Kirkcubbright,
and in due time came under the hands
of the town executioner.
1t was not loEg till Jenny became a
bride.
The bridegroom was the miller's son;
who had loved her long and well, but
with passion previously unrequited.
They lived henceforth happily to-
gether for many years, and died at a
good old age, surrounded by flour
ishing family.
In the latest hour of her life. the
brave-hearted Jenny would shudder as
she told the tale of her danger and of
her deliverance.

MARRIED LOVERS.
BY JEAN INGELoW.

BY JEAN INGELoW.
Come away, the clouds are high.
Put the flashing needles by.
Many days are not to spare.
Or to waste, my fairest fart
All Is ready. Come to-day.
For the nightingale her lay,
When she findeth that the whole
Of her love and Of her soul,
Cannot forth of her sweet throat
Sobs the while she draws her breath,
And the bravery of her note
Inafew days altereth.
Come, ere she despond, and see
In silent ecstacy
Chestnuts hesTe for hours and hours
All the glory of their flowers
To the melting blue above.
That broods over them like love.
Leave the garden walls, where blow
Apple-blossoms pink, and low
Ordered beds of tulips fine
Seek the blossoms made divine
With scent that is their soul.
These are souliess. Bring the white
OF thy gown to bathe in light
Walls for narrow hearts. The whole
Earth is found, and air and sea;
Not too wide for thee and me-
Not too wide. and yet thy face
Gives the meaning of all space;
And thine eyes, with starbeams fraught,
Hold the measure of all thought;
For of them my soul besought,
And was shown a glimpse of thine
A vailed vestal with divine
solace. in sweet loves despair,
For that life is brief as fair.
Who hath most, ye yearneth most,
Sure, as seldom heretofore,
Somewhere of the gracious more,
Deepest joy, the least shall boast,
Asking with new opened eyes
The remainder; that VIII ich.lies
o, so fair! but not all conned-
o, so near and yet beyond.
Come, and in the woodland sit,
Seem wonted part oft;
Then, while moves the delicate air,
And the glories of thy hair
Little Pickering sunrays strike
Let me see what thou art like;
For great love enthralls mesO,
That, in sooth, scarcely know.
Show me, in a house all green.
Save for long gold wedges sheen,
Where the flies, white sparks of fire,
Dart and hover and aspire,
And the leaves air-stirred on high,
Feel such joy they needs must sigh,
And the untracked grass makes sweet
All fair flowers to touch thy feet,
And the bees about them hum.
All the world is waiting. Comet
