FOREIGN GOSSIP.

A BERLIN paper cautions persons
against a trick now very successfully
practiced by the sellers of blooming
plants. The camellias and tulips make a
fine show in the pots, and fetch hand
some prices, but when the purchase is
taken home the flowers are found to be
attached to the stalks with fine wire.
IT has come out at last in Paris. Abe
lard and Heloise were never buried in
the cemetery of Pere la Chaise, and
oceans of tears and tons of "garden
sass" have been lavished upon sham
graves by the love-lorn maidens of Paris
for 400 years, more or less. A PROPOSE
ton to restore the tomb brought out the
facts of the case.
AN ingenious Italian has evolved a
process of ending wars and discontinue
ing the silly practice of pretending to be
Kings when there is not a ghost OF a
chance of sitting on a tn rome. His idea
is TO establish a Joint European Com
mission to select given number of can
didates for the thrones of the Continent
and give them each year of it in each
country.
A PARIS correspondent, with an eye
for unpleasant sights, hos seen In a
advertisement: "Pipe found between
the teeth of one of the Schiller victims,
price five francs" and also Swedish
freuuenter of one of the cafes who wears
attached to his watch-guard as charm
a glass eye, formerly worn by his mother,
who has been dead some years.
ATTENTION is being drawn in England
TO the value of the mule. At recent
show the prize mule stood seventeen
hands, and was proved to be much
stronger than horse. Another animal
exhibited, and which was only twelve
and half hands high, had been driven
the previous week 220 miles in forty-two
hours, and entered London on the even
ing of the second day at a pace of ten
miles an hour, with no marks OF fatigue.
AT Villeneuve, st. George, near Paris,
gentleman has pond in winch ne
raises leeches for the market. He feeds
them quite often upon aged ana innrm
horses and other animals, Wnlch the
leeches suck to death. He had family
horse which was quite favorlte OF
child of his, but, becoming useless by
age, he drove him into the pond to iced
his leeches upon. His child, coming to
the pond soon after, and seeing his IA
vorite in the water, endeavored to get
the horse out, thinking he had fallen I'D
accidentally In this endeavor the boy
himself fell into the pond, and when res
cued was covered with leeches, wnicn,
before they could be taken from him, hau
sucked SO much of his life's blood from
his veins that he died in an hour AFTER
ward.

THE MAIDEN SLEEPS.

Translated from the German.] =
The maiden sleeps-why mourn ye in this
wise,
Ye parents Let her rest
The little face that mid the flowers lies
Speaks to your aching breast:
"My lot is light; oh, wherefore, weep?
L lay me down in peace and Sleep"
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-wearied from play, to
rest,
Tired out with happiness.
The doll the little arms had fOndly pressed,
The pretty Sunday dress,
Her story-book remembered not
All, all her treasures now forgot
.. The maiden sleeps.
ThA.- ..aAide.. --sloo1,es hor ,ifo peaceful
And light her earthly lot,
A little stream that through the flowers
strayed,
With love and music fraught:
No bitter grief the child's heart panied,
Soon was the short fight fought and gained
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-how blest she slumbercd
Her tender Savior's arm;
That spotless heart unsoiled, unstained by
sin,
No earthly fear could harm
A conscience pure, sinless breast,
This is a couch the head to rest
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-earth's pain, earths
strife no more
May break that sweet repose;
Know'st, mother, thou, what might have been
in store
For her, of bitter woes?
She feels no more the tempests beat,
Feels not the summers sultry heat
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden slccps--only one short, calm
That peaceful sleep will last;
And, oh, how bright the morn that greets her
sight
lie, who by his resistless will
SOothed Jairus, lives and comforts still
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-and now the last kiss
Upon the lips so still,
The Father help thee in thy sore distress;
o mother! tits His will.
Now, as they bear her to her rest
Sing ye the hymns she loYed the best
The maiden sleeps
The maiden slceps-now, Shepherd, take her
home,
Thine for eternity:
Ye glorious stars, bend down from heavens
dome,
Watch DER her tenderly;
wind, howl not so loud and shrill
Over this little, ilOwer-decked hill
The maiden sleeps.
The Scotsman.
