The Future Residence Of the Princess
E,Ouise

The special correspondent of the
London Daily News in Scotland tele-
graphs cit is understood that the
few days residence of the Princess
Louise and the Marquis Of Lorne, at
Roseneathe Castle prior to their arrival
at Invernay, was oontriyed with the de-
sign of giving the Princess an oppor-
tUnity Of Judging whether she would
like Roseneath as permanent resi-
dence. In consequence of the favor.
able impression which the beautiful
seat made upon the Princess, it was be-
lieved that the Duke of Argyll has de-
finitely abandoned his intention of sell
ing Roseneath, and that for the future
it will be the Scottish residence of the
Princess and her husband. Roseneath
Castleis a very large but unfinished
structure, in the style of an italian
palace It was commenced by the last
Duke of Argyll but one, the nobleman
whose reckless extravaganza so hamp-
cred the Argyll estates. The present
Duke has done something toward its
completion, but the castle is still fal
from finished. It contains some noble
rooms, especially a magnificent ball
room; and it's situation, facing the
Gareloch, surrounded with rich woods.
and backed by charming Highlano
landscape, is strikingly beautiful.

Mine,


Safe by the freight hear the winds blow,
Out of the window are wild wastes OF snow;
Here as 1 sit by the freight alone,
See the drifts glitter. and hear the WINDS moan,
CbiIdrep's fair races look in through the night.
One and another, the pale and the bright;
Dear TO nv soul while it loves viii they be, --.
But when they called Mother, they did not caIme
One fell asleep on the fields OF the West,
A soldiers blue jacket wrapped over his breast
No more those dark eyes will brighten for me,
Never again that keen smile shall see,
Never be clasped in the arms OF my boy.
Yet is he mine beyond death to destroy,
Mine in the love that knows future nor past
Mine while the pulses of tenderness last
Living or dying my child be win be,
But when he called Mother " ho did not call me.
One wears a shadow across her fair brow
But the shadow is brighter than sJlnbearns now
Her brilliant face softens, her roses grow pale,
In the glow of its whiteness-her new bridal veil.
NJ Iovliest baby ! God keep thee as pure,
While thy lips and thy love shall endeavor endure,
AS the first hour held thee, asleep in my arms,
Serene in the halo of babyhoods charms.
God send thee sweet children to stand at thy knee,
who when they say " Mother, " shall say it to thee.
Two little faces with glittering hair
ALI the long daytime hang my chair;
Faces watched over morning and night,
Eyes that once blessed me with deepest delight,
Voices that thrilled to the depths of my soul,
Shake it with lOngings [ cannot control,
Oh if those dear lives should falter and fail,
The veins of my heart at their would quail
Life would fOrsake me, though dea b should forget
All that have on their being is SET
Dearer than living or loving can be;
Yet when they call Mother " they do not call me.
