Mr.. Louis Munderman.

To the Editor of the Ledger:
The suggestion made few days since
that German should be one of the
Representatives in the Lower House of
the State Legislature, meets with uni
versal favor throughout the city. Why
cannot Mr.. Louis Wunderman, the ed
itor Of our German paper, be induced to

day next? Mr.. Wunderman is a gentle
man of education and talent, and is
thoroughly alive to the best interests of

heard from on this subject.

the Emperor Of Austria in a Prussian
uniform with Russian order, the EN-
peror Alexander in an Austrian uniform
with Prussian order, and the Emperor
William in Russian uniform with an
Austrian order. II would require a
fatiguing amount Of arithmetieal kppwl-

their Majesties will be able to ring on
the cufnTnon wardrobes they have thus
PLEASANTLY established, but we may take
it for granted that this interchange of
clothing augurs we'll for the peace Of
Europe; at all events, it is quite impos-
sible that war could be declared until
cach Emperor had retired to his own
dressing-room and put on his proper hab-
iliments. A sudden appeal to, arms,
when the Emperors were dressed in the
wrong uniforms would lead to such, seri-
GUS complications that even Prince Bis
marck himself would shrink from crea7
ting the conflagration.

Seldom, indeed, have three sisters in one
family displayed such ingenuity in this
respect as that exhibited by their ma-

The Emperor Of Austria, says the tele-
gram, wore Russian uniform and n

HOPE.

Again Isat before the CRATE, and as
watched the glowing e,nbcrs, l read the
history of u life struggle there. A wo-
man knclt, and with cluspsd hands and
quivcring lips, sent up her sad cry to
Heaven. Loving, but unlovcd; trusting,
cringing, but deserted, was the record
that l'rene upon those agonizeiifc features
She must have help to bear this great
sorrow, aud, i'll her anguish Of spirit, she
flies to the All-loving, the All-mcreiiul,
tor aid. Long she kncl', and prayed,
with strainng eyes. and uplifed hands.
Then glimmcring light was seen, and
Il bright, shining to'm stood beside her.
1t was the bright, glad angel of Hope.
With a soft, carcssing touch, she laid her
hand upon the bowed head, and lifted j.
up. She spoke words of encouragement,
that cheerc'l the falling heart. ani with
- firm, steady hand, she pointed cheerful
ly and hopefully into the future The
cry grew calmer, and then ceased, and
She arose, with the light OF hope shining
in her clear. dark eyes, that had been SO
limmed with tears
81 will hope" she murmured; II must
hope"
Days, weeks and months went by. end
still the angel walked by her side, cheer
ing her when sad, sustaining her when
weak, ever pointing bravcly into the
future. Often the time seemed long, and
the bitter tear drops fell. Often her
heart grew faint, and her courage almost
failed, but the good angel did not desert
her. Every morning wns chccrcd with
the sweet hope, that before another set
ting sun, the dear wish of her heart
would be realized, and the beloved one
return; and through the dark hours OF
each night, she listened anxiously for The
footsteps that came not.
Years came and went, and still she
hoped and prayed. watched and waited.
Will her bright hopes ever be realized
The scene changed, and again saw
her standing in the shadows, but no,
alone. joy and love sparkled in her soft
dark eyes, and made her face beautiful,
as she laid her hand in that of the wan
derer, with perfect faith and trust
Years had not quencl,ed her love, or the
dark waters of coldncss and neglect
overwhelmed it; and with heart knit tc
heart, and hand clasped in hand, they
went out together into the future.
AS they passed from sight glow o
radiant brightness seems to ling,r where
their feet had rested, and in that light
saw another vision revealed.
A vision of years to come-of two
hearts made patient, and strong, ant
brave, by the weary waiting, the sorrow
and repentance, each serving the Other
with selfsacriicing devotion.
