A Terrible Death.

A weird tale comes from the northern
lakes. 1t reads like ghostly tale of old.
1t is horrible. A stiff figure frozen, and
ice cold, steering through the night right
to the shore. There was home and warmth
and life--perhaps a wife and children.
The tragedies Of this world are not in nov
els. They are in real life Two farmers
were driving along the beach of Lake Erie.
They saw boat far out heading for the
beach. They paid little attention to it at
the time, but when they returned a few
hours after they found the yawl hard on
the beach, and the man sitting stiff and
motionlcss in her stern. Leaving their
wagons they discovered that the man was
lifeless and frozen as hard as rock. He
sat bolt upright on the seat, the oar out
behind, and both hands clasping the handle,
and it required hard work to wrench it
from his death-grip. There was about a
foot Of water in the boat, but the craft did
not show rough usage. The mans legs
were almost covered with ice as far up as
his knees, and the spray had dashed over
his back and shoulders and frozen there.
No one could say how long he had been
afoat or when death overlook him, but he
must have been dead at least three days or
more. There was neither mast nor sail to
the boat, and there was nothing in il but
the one oar, showing that the poor fellow
had not intended long trip anywhere, and
that he must have been blown of the
shore. He had used his oar to keep be-
fore the wind, and had frozen to death on
his seat, For days, and perhaps for fort.
night, the frozen man sat there with his
icy fingers clinging to the ashen oar, and
the gales and the waves spared him to
reach the shore and receive Christian
burial

THE LAW OF DEATH
BY JOHN HAY.

The song of Kilvany. Fairest she
In all the land Of Sayatthi.
She had one child, as sweet and gay
And dear to her As the light OF day.
She was SO young. and he so fair,
The same bright eyes and the same darb
hair,
To see them by the blossomy way
They seemed TIVE children 1t their play.
There came death-dart from the sky.
Kilvany saw her darling die.
The glimmering shade his ewes Inyades.
Out Of his cheek the red bloom fades:
His warm heart feels the lev chill
The round limbs snudder and are still.
And yet KiIvany held him fast
Long after life's last pulse was past
As If her kisses could restore
The smile gone ont for eYermore.
But when she saw her child was dead
She scattered ashes on her head,
And seized the small corpse, pale and
sweet,
And rushing wildly through the street,
She sobbing fell at BuGdha's feet.
Here At thy feet humbly bow;
Have mercy, Buddha! help me RoE!-
She groVeled on the marble floor,
And kissed the dead child DER and Ger.
And suddenly upon the air
There fell the answer to her prayer:
80 Bring me tonight Lotus tied
With thread from house where none has
died.
She rose, and laughed with thankful joy,
Sure that the god would save the boy.
She found Lotus by the strsam;
She plucked Ii from its MONDAY dream,
And then from door to door she Jared,
To ask what house by death WAS spared.
Her heart grew cold to see the eyes
OF all dilate with slow surprise:
9 kiivany, thou hast lost thy head;
Nothing c IN help a child that's dead.
There stands not by the Ganges' side
A house where none hath ever died."
Thus through the long and weary day,
From every door she bore away
Within her heart, and on her arm.
A heavier load, a deeper harm.
BY gates OF gold and ivory,
By watrled huts Of poverty,
The same refrain heard poor kilvany,
The liUiRg are felc-the dead are MANI.
The evening came, so still and fleet,
And overlook her hurrying feet,
And. heart-sick, by the sacred fame
She fell, and prayed the god again.
She sobbed and beat her bur- ting breast:
50 All. thou hast Knocked me- Mightiest,
Lo, have wandered far and wide
There stands no house where none hath
died.
And Buddna answered, in q tone
Soft as flute at twilight blown,
But grand as heaven and strong as death
To him who hears with ears OF faith:
- Child, thou art answered. Murmur not,
Bow, and accept the common lot"
KiIyauy heard with reverence meet,
And laid her child at Buddha's feet.
-Scribner's for August

in 1868, Don Carlos invaded Spain,
but in 1871, when Amadeus, oil
Italy, was called 10 the throne, he
was expelled. Since the abdication
of Amadeus, last winter, Don Car
los has been warning in various
parts -of the country, claiming to be
king, and as such is recognized by q
portion of the people, and is I'M
qaestionably the choice of the ex-
treme church party.
We have mentioned that the mar
riage of Isabella was expected, if
not intended, to be childless one,
but five years later, in 1851, she gave
birth to daughter, and in 1857 to
her only son, AlphonSe. After her
expulsion she formally abdicated in
favor of this boy, who is now six
teen years old, and is also claim
ant to the throne.
The third Bourbon claimant is the
Duke of Montpensier, for himself
or in right o. his wife and her chill
dren, of which she has six living,
three of whom are boys, the oldest
being thirteen years of age.
Between these three claimants, all
Bourbons, and all closely related,
the nobility, churchmen, and loyal
landed projectors of Spain are di-
vided. The italian dynasty may be
considered as no longer making any
pretentions. All of these are united
as against the republic, but as against
each other are relentless.
