UNREST.

Waiting! For what? Shall ever know?
Or shall the new years creep drOWsily by
Til my death day comes; shah L never know
why
L was born, and must live out my life Of woe?
l. the whole Of my lifetime merely pause
'TWixt my birth that was, and my death TO be?
Must ] always follow, and never be free?
Am / only effect? Can never he cause?
Or am but link Of the wesriful chain
or life, and the sequence Of things gone by?
I am forced TO live, for / cannot die,
But my life is empty and all in vain.
Yet sometimes hear my spirit, elate
at the thought OF the glorious deeds TO be
done,
Cry, ''strikel IT'S he time!" But in answer,
Shall 1 ever know whO?-whispers, aSnencel
Wait."
1t cannot be Hope, for her voice is sweet;
1t is not Despair for know her well;
IT'S like the ceaseless drOne Of knells
And wearies the heart with mOnotonous beat.
Shall another voice ever whisper to me,
ssAwakei IT'S the hour! Go forward and fChti
Thy probation is ended, and impOtent night
Has burst into day!' SO shall set me free?
I know not, I know not; this only dread,
That, ere that voice shall proclaim that hour,
Not only the will may be lost, but the power,
And may be cold with the nameless dead.

Everything, my dear sir, everything.

Just then a man came in and collected
a bill for sticking Punkinhead's card on

TIE STORY OFAHAT.

Cincinnati tells the story of a hat-a
feminine hat, perfect love Of hat, which
a millinel made and hung outside of her
door to show how pretty hat could be had
bv applying within. There is no doubt it
was 2 most attractive hat, as the story
proves. One dag It disappeared from its
accustomed nail, and the milliner mOUTued
for IL. She resolved to recover that hat, if
it was worn by any woman in Cincin-
natl. After pacing the fashionable prom
euades at fashionable hours for several
DAYS, she spied the hat with a pretty
woman under it and a dandy man at her
side. The milliner followed tie pair. She
could not be mistaken. Finally she stepped
ND to the woman, and tapping her on the
shoulder. told her 10 get out from under
that hat. The woman was indignant at the
implication. and said she had bought the
hat I'm a distant city. The milliner was in
dead earnest. and tme8tened to invoke
police int ference if the woman did not
come down with the hat. Then the hat
came down, and the woman continued her
walk with the bare sky for a covering.

CLEOPATRA's COLOR.

Now 4oAh OAApAlCs
Miss Clara Morris in a recent inter-
view with a representative of the
Graphic stated that were she to play
Cleopatra it would be under brUn or
copper-colored pigment. However, it
is not so sure that Cleopatra was a
dark hued lady. Sylvanus Urban, in a
recent number of the GentIenGn's Nag.
azile, raises the question In regard to
the tint of Cleopatra's skin In the
dream of Fair Women" He asks:
"Why should Cleopatra be described
as Egyptian? Was she not OF the
purest Greek blood? The founder Of
the line of the Ptolemies was a Greek;
all his successors were Greeks, and the
popularity of the family was that they
only intermarried among themselves,
marrying within degrees of consan-
guinity which would appear to uss hook
ing, in order to keep up the pure sue
cession of Greek blood. If remember
rightly Plutarch tells us of the in
fluence Cleopatra obtained by her knowl.
edge Of languages, which enabled her
to talk to all races Of her subjects in
their own tongues, whereas most of her
predecessors did not even take the
trouble to learn the dialect of the
Egyptians. Mr.. Gallon, l think, in
his work on Hereditary Genius
POUNDS an argument on this constant
intermarTying of the PtOlemies. The
late Mr.. Thomas Love Peacock found
fault with Tennyson long ago for treat
ing the Queenof Egypt as an Egyptian;
but Ten tyson has supporters among
men who do not simply assume that an
Egyptian queen must needs be an
Egyptian woman. Mr.. Hawthorne
has somewhere tried to make out that
she was an Egyptian, that she became
transformed into an Egyptian In some
mysterious way by the influence of the
climate. But l cannot see how the
influence of climate for few genera
tons, even though it might darken a
woman's cheek, could convert the
daughter OF pure Greeks into an Afri-
can. Suppose the daughter Of the
English Consul at Canton marries a
young Englishman, and their daughter
married another Englisbman, would
their daughter again (Or carry it on for
a few generations, if you ike be a
Chinese woman? Yet this sort of sue
cussion would not represent anything
like the care taken to keep the Ptole.
mics Greek; for of the English hus.
bands I have suggested some might
have had foreign-and perhaps Chi
nese-mothers. How then can Cleo
patra have been anything but Greek?
l think Mr.. Story, the American sculp-
tor, has nevertheless persisted In
making her Egyptian. On the other
hand, Mr.. Poynter, A. R. a, has lately
in a lecture argued very properly that
she ought to be treated In art, as In
history, as a pure Greek"

that NJ. Michel Levy, the leading publisher

Rufus ChOate used TO confess that when
