The Old aud the New.

Ring out wild bells to the wild sly,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year 10 dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year Is going, let him 20;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring III redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life.
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithlcss coldncss of tire times;
Ring, out, ring out my mournfu
rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood
The civic SANDER and the spite:
Ring In the love of truth and right,
Ring In the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust Of gold
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

Mark Twain on Woman.

On the 2O9th anniversary Of st.
Andrews Day, on Monday evening
last, at the banquet given in Free
mason's Hall, Mark Twain, who
responded for t"the ladies'" made
the speech of the evening. We
can give his words, but not the in
finite drollery utterances. lie said /:
I am proud, indeed, of the distinc-
ton of being chosen to respond to
this especial toast, to 'sthe ladies' -
or to women, if you please, for that
is the preferable term, perhaps; it
is certainly the older, and there
fore the more entitled to reverence.
Laughter. I have noticed that
the Bible, with that plain, blunt
honesty which is such conspicuous
characteristic of the Scriptures, is
always particular to never refer
to even the illustrious mother of all
mankind herself as a 'lady," but
speaks of her as a woman. Laugh
ter 1t is odd, but you will find it
so. I am peculiarly proud of this
honor, because think that the toast
to women is one which, by right
and by every rule of gallantry.
should take precedence of all Others
of the army, Of the navy, of even
royalty itself perhaps, though the
latter is not necessary in this day
and in this land, for the reason that
tacitly, you do drink broad, gen.
eral health to all good women when
you drink the health Of the Queen
of England and the Princess Of
Wales. Loud cheers. | have in
mind poem just now, which is ia.
miliar to you all, familiar to every.
body. And what an inspiration
that was (and how instantly the
present toast recalls the verses tc
our minds) when the most noble
the most gracious, the purest ano
sweetest of all poets says:
"Woman! O woman !-er-
Womm"
laughter however, you remem
Der the lines; and you remember
how feelingly, how daintily, how
almost imperceptibly the verses
rise up before you, feature by tea
ture, the ideal of true and perfect
woman; and how, as you contem
plate the finished marvel, your
homage grows into worship Of the
intellect that could create so fair a
thing out of mere breath, mere
words. And you call to mind now.
as I speak, how the poet, with stern
fidelity to the history of all human
| ity, delivers this beautiful child Of
his heart and his brain over to the
trials and the sorrows that must
come to all, sooner or later, that
abide in the earth; and how the
pathetic story eliminates in that
apostrophe-so wild, so regretful,
so full of mournful retrospection.
The lines run thus:

QreSSlUK TOOuS Ill QucStAOu, duu lTOm LulS Jay
there was mutual regard between the President
and the fair stranger. During the following
twelve months Nine. de Montijo and her daughter
were invited as guests at all the Presidential resi-.
dences -Fonranebleau, Compegne, st. Cloud-and
it escaped nobody that the Prince paid Mile.
Eugene an inordinate amount OF attention. No
one supposed, however, that these attentions
could end in marriage, for the President having
performed his coup d'etd, was on the point Of be-
coming Emperor, and it was no secret that his
ambassador at Munich was trying to arrange a
match for BIN with q princess of Bavaria The
King Of Bavaria refused to give away his relative
to prince whom he styled an ''adven-
turer," ana then 1t was that Louis Napoleon,
much mortified at hea art, resolved not to expose
himself to further rebutTs in counting royal prin-
cesses. Possibly Nine. de Montijo had been wait
ing her opportunity, for two days after the of
the Bavarlan snub had begun to get bruited, she
begged private audience of the Prince, and told
him that as his attentions toward her daughter
were beginning to excite comment, she had the
intention OF leaving France. This was at st. Cloud
where the mother and daughter were both stay
ing. The Prince asked Nine. de Montijo to tarry
one day more, for he might then have something to
say to her, and he employed these twenty -four
hours In acquaintng his Ministers with his deter.
mination to marry Mile. Eugene. The news fell
upon them ike shell. Nothing OF this kind
had been apprehended by any one, and
both Count de Morny, M. de Persigny and
Edgard Ney earnestly mplored the Prince
not TO contract such DaeSauianCe. But
Louis Napoleon was memorable. The communca-
ton was MADE to the Cabinet on the 25th OF No.
yember on the 2nd OF December the Prince was
proclaimed Emperor; on the 2ad Of January the
coming marriage was officially notified to the
French people, and on the 3oth OF January 1t was
so,emnized at Notre Dame. 1t is certain that
NAPOLEON NEVER REPENTED OF HIS CHOICE.
The new Empress possessed all the charms of
manner and person which can adorn throne; and
or the signal gentleness and tact which she always
discharged in sovereign duties 1t Is needless to
speak here These are only notes on the less we'll
known side OF the Empress career. Napoleon Ills
consort grew popular at Court from the first as q
lady OF infinite kindness, quick but generous OF
temper. brave and simple minded. IT Is astnGular
