GROWING OLD TOGETHER.

Do you know am thinking tomorrow
We shall pass on our journey through life
One more of the mile-stones that bring
Still nearer the goal, my good wife9
The glad anniversary morning
OF our wedding-day COmeth once more
And its evening will find us still waiting
Who had thought to have gone long before.
We are old, wife, I know by the burrows
Time has plow'd your brow, fair !;
1 know by the crown of bright silver
He has left for your once raven hair;
l know by the frost on the flowers
That frightened our life at its dawn;
1 know by the graves in the church-yard;
Where we counted our dead yestermOrn.
Your way has been humble and tOil-worn;
Your guest has been trouble, good wife
Part sunshine, more trials and sOrrOws-
Have made up your record through life;
But may the thought cheer you, my dear one,
Your patience and sweet clfnging love
Have made me here such Heaven,
have asked, "is there brighter above? Z?
In ife's winter, sweet wife, we are living,
But it's storms all unheeded will fall
What care we. who have love and each other,
Who have proved each to each, all in all?
Hand in hand we await the nights coming,
Giving thanks down the valley we go;
For to love, and to grow old together
Is the highest bliss mOrtals can know.
Some children are still left to bless u.s.
And tighten our hearts day by day;
If hope is not always fruitiOn,
We will strive to keep in the right way.
We have sOwed, and reaped, but the harvest
That gamers the world we await,
And happy at last may enter
Together the beautiful gate.

crazy in no time. But, bless your

good deal, but came to the conclusion

through with it, for, as I said when I
started, miss is as good as a mile "

FOREIGN NOTES.

A DIAMOND tiara was recently present
ed to Nine. Nilsson-Rouzand by her
admirers in Moscow.
Two REAL Archdukes of Austria help
ed to put out a fire in the house of the
United States Minister at Vienna.
BY the will of the late Empress Caro-
line Augusta of Austria, Archduke
Charles Louis, the eldest brother of the
present Emperor, is appointed sole heir.
THERE are in London ZIG, ,S22 children
who are being efficiently educated in

of the School Board, IS, ,2O4 who are in

THE formal promuIgation of the dog
ma of Papal infallibility is to take place
in Wurtemberg on Maundy-Thursday.
The dogma has been promulgated in
Wurtemberg already by Bishop Hefele,
but not with the formality desired by
the Holy See, an omission which is now
to be remedied.
The Vienna Exhibition Commission
ers have adjusted their difference with
the German artist exhibitors, who COM
planned of their own postpon9ment to
their French rivals, by obtaining the
missing space by arrangement from the
Austrian artists, so that now France
and Germany start even as regards
room.
THE Prussian Minister of the Interior
has been beaten in all his suits against
the newspapers who published the Papal
allocution. Such victories ruin the un-
fortunate editors, who are despoiled of
their property arbitrarily, and then,
after weeks of legal discussion, are told
to go in peace. The Minister erred in
his construction of the law.
ACCORDING to the new electoral re-
form bill for Austria, just approved by
the Emperor and referred to the lower
house of the Reichsrath, the total num-
Der of Deputies is raised to 351, who
are to be voted for directly by the peo-
pie and not as heretofore by the Pro
vincial Legislatures. This is as if ou1
Senators were to be elected by the pee
pie in districts instead of by the State
Legislatures.

And worn it proudly on my breast,
