THE DEATH OF THE FIRST BORN
BY sAMUEL BENHAM.

Fold up the richly broidered dress,
Lay by the precious, tiny shoe,
The white plumed cap, the fiaxen tres5,
And little crimson stockings. too;
A mot hers heart with gIiet is thrilled,
For death the wearer's pulse has stiiled.
The sky.blu eyes are curtailed in
With lids which seem SO strangely DEAD,
While Ger the breast, SO pure from II,
The dimpled hands are gently spread.
The merry, prattling voice is hushed,
And iouiest earthly hopes are crushed.
svav has down the nesting dove,
Ard lone heart. smitten Rachel weeps
'nHbe babe, whose fair face shines above,
Though in the tOmb its body sleeps;
The rosewood crib is vacant now
Alas. she must submit-but how
iHer lamp of hope seems dimly lit;
No breath OF dewy blossoms fair
Tie windows OF her heart admit;
No sparkling sunshine enters the-e;
Lie now broad Sahara seems
no bless ing in the future CLEANS,
WHY thus lament in sadness lone
why let those tears Of anguish tall
why srieve that one so Young has nownY
WHY back to life the loved one call
IA l!e, at best, with i'll so rraugkt
That three score years are counted nauglt.
Look up Lock upi the jasper walls
Are nearer now than Ger before,
with reckoning hand your loved one calls;
For peace stands there; come DER,
AID gain the Joy, and song and rest,
Within the mansions of the blest.

Au Dejeuner.
Prentice Mulferd writes:

Breakfast in Paris means the American
twelve O'Clock dinner. Bread and cafe an
t0n tel1e the place Of our mornings meal
The French have the sense to combine
very large proportion OF milk WITH their
coffee, thereby giving nourishment and stlm-
ulant together. Breakfast without VINE Is
deemed an impossibility. The wine bottle
is the first article placed before you at table:
AS general thing the Bordeaux Is not
alarmingly strong. 1t has seen the pump
and ''gune several better" An ultra tee
tOtaler might drink quart and then
scarcely know that he had broken his
VOWS. As the French use and dilute 1t
l deem it more healthy beverage than
say pint of strong coffee. Breakfast
then one of fish; next vegetables; TOR des-
sert cheese no cOnfture In fact breakfast
is simply dinner. For twenty-five cents
you have, at the cheaper restaurants, the
above course, including half bottle OF
wine and as much bread as you can eat.
Coffee is at least six cents extra. That
means coffee and gill or 80 OF brandy or
cafe gloria. A little decanter OF cognac Is
brought, from which you help yourself
However, if you are too liberal IN It's use
and exceed certain amount you are
charged therefor. Cafe NOR includes also
great deal of sugar. The waiter expects
copper or two. An urn is placed IN the
paying counter for contributions to the
garcon. An American needs at least
months drilling before he learns to eat
French breakfast. First he will kick
at the soup or pottage Soup for break
fast. Then the dishes do not come to suit
him. He wants them altogether. Instead,
they are brought along at intervals OF i've,
ten, and even fifteen minutes. Sometimes
he thinks he has been forgotten entirely.
The idea, for instance. OF eating beans or
caulifower alone and unsupported by meat
For the Frenchman. breakfast is business.
He eats slowly. He concentrates himself
on each particular dish. When that is fin
ished, he ceases for time and meditates.
He gives his stomach short breathing
spell. He studies digestion. He doesn't
drink much wine until the second or third
course And 60, when he has leisurely
finished, and at the very last drank his cafe
gloria and smoked his cigarette, he feels,
despite the last humiliation, that France 10
still great nation, and that the fortune OF
war may vet cause her red breeched soldiers
to swarm under the walls Of Berlin.

Below Rome.

Charles Warren Stoddard, writing of
"Under Rome" says: Fancy a narrow
subterranean walk, varying from two to
seven feet in width, twisting into a thou
sand angles, and three hundred and fifty
miles IN length. Such were the ancient
catacombs. They have been filed in,
walled up, and left to their eternal night
trails have been lost or forgotten these
thousand years, but st. Calixtus Is still a
marvel, full of mystery and horrors and
romance. No one ventures into its laby-
rinths without an expert guide, and the
number and length Of the wax tapers that
are necessary to complete a successful
exploration is simply alarming. In the
midst of meadow we found a
pair of steps that led us into
the bowels of the earth. The guide
unlocked door at the foot OF the
stairs and our party entered; the door was
locked after us, the lights were lit, the guide
Ned us into a dark alley that smelt warm
and earthly; one after another, IN silence, we
tracked that guide through avenues that
seemed endless, for the shadows crowded
in upon us oppressively and our tapers
burned but feebly. Up stairs and down
stairs. to right and left, we wandered like
band of lost spirits. We hung on to each
others coat-tails, and grew more and more
intimate, as we felt our hold on life and our
dependence on the remorseless man who
was burying us alive increase. What if our
lights went out or he was to desert us
What if the earth should fall-the soft tufa
rock, that you could scratch with your
thumb-nail? 1t grew uncomfortable hot; it
was not pleasant to have the whole party
cr0wding on to your heels, nor pleasant
to be in the midst of it with no chance of
escape in case of a panic; but it was worse
than all to be the last man. who was half
the time around the corner in darkness, and
liable to drop OF into chaos or oblivion at
the shortest notice. There were several
small chapels, with the remnants of affairs
and half Obliterated frescoes to be inspect
ed. Many Pope has slept here his final
sleep, and many saint ana martyr; but the
