George Linser, we'll to do citizen
living at 81 Stark street, was found dead
in his room yesterday morning, his gold
watch gone, his pockets emptled and
turned inside out, his empty pocket
book left on table near by and a large
role of bills and several gold pieces,
which he had in his possession on the
previous evening, were missing, and had
evidently been taken from his pockets by
the same persons who took his watch.
The circumstances are as follows
Linser was boss hod carrier and a
widower, living alone at the number
mentioned, and had considerable funds
on hand at various times. On Saturday
he had received considerable sum o.
money, and IN the evening became some

Tho Kinp of Bavaria Visits Paris.

Very recently the fancy seized him to
go to study for himself the creations OF
Louis XIV, and all the models he has
left, and to visit Paris, which he had
never seen; but he had the fear that for
several reasons OF International pro-
priety diplomacy would place q respect
iul but firm veto on this journey. 1T is
repugnant to the King to take his people
into his confidence. With his suite he
is usually reserved, but vis.a-vis with
his ministers he Theoretically sealed.
An individual placed under the sur
VIGILANCE of the police does not eyade its
argus eyes with more pleasure than he
escapes their excellencies. One of his
ingenious tricks is to disappear, at the
hunt or elsewhere, and not to reappear
until the day after, in some remote place.
Thus, last September, it was suddenly
heard at Munich that the ministers were
in cruel embarrassment; they had l0st
their constitutional monarch; they had
searched through all the royal buildings,
but had obtained no result. Every trace
of bis Majesty had disappeared. Already
the tragic whispers OF the credulous re-
peated that it was very possible that u
horrible crime had been committed,
when they finally learned that the King
had been seen near Strasburg IN the
Paris train.
To avoid losing time, the presenta-
tions, official, semi. official, and others,
the King had had the wit to take adyan-
tage of q tour undertaken by Marshal
MacMahon, to the profit OF his septennat:
under the name of Count Berg, he had
suddenly descended at Paris, upon the
hotel of the German embassy. They
feared in Germany, for a moment, that
the population would show to him some
malice for the part which his troops had
taken In the last war; but there was no
such feeling. Everywhere they affected
to Ignore the titles and condition Of the
tourist.
The Prince expressed desire that the
great fountains Of Versailles should play
before him. They satisfied him, although
the expense was great tor The city gov
ernmsht. Ordinarily there is a crowd at
this spectacle; this time the solitude was
aImos complete. At the same time that
Mcmahon re-entered the train for Paris,
Count Berg re-entered the train for Mu-
Mich, leaving for the poor at Versailles
the equivalent of the cost OF one or two
houses which the Bavarians had burned
at Bazeilles. .-GalaXy.

And which no heart had fol. gathering?
When.day is over and night descends,
And dark''mists circle and rise.

For dream of April Skies
But wake to hear the silence sing.
OF love that boomed n-the early Spring,
And which no heart. had for gathering.
When the dawn comes in with wind and rain,
And birds awake in the caves,
And ran-drOps smite the window pane,
And drench the eddying leaves
hear the voice of the day-break Sing
OF a love that.bloomed in early spring,
And which no heart had for gathering.

THE TWO VILLAGES.

Over the river on the hill,
Lieth a village white and still,
And all around the forest trees
SILVER and whisper in the breeze.
Over it sailing shadows go,
OF soaring hawk and screaming crow,
And mountain grasses low and sweet,
Grow in the middle Of every street.
Over the river, under the hill,
Another village lieth still.
There see in a cloudy night
Twinkling stars of household light,
Fires that CLEAN from the smithy's door,
Mists that curl on the river shore.
And in the roads no grasses grow,
For the wheels that hasten to and fro.
In that village on the hill,
Never a sound of smithy or mill,
The houses are matched with grass and flowers,
Never a clock to toll the hours.
The marble doors are ALWAYS shut,
You can not enter hall or hut.
All the villagers lie asleep,
Never again to sow orreap,
Never in dreams t0'moan or sigh,
Silent and idle and low they lie
In that village under the hill,
When the night is starry and still,
Many q weary soul in prayer,
Looks to that other village there.
And weeping and signing longs to go,
Up to that home from this below,
Longs to sleep by the forest wild,
Whittier have vanished wife and child,
And heareth, praying, this.answer fall
Patience, that village shall hold .yeal''

GREAT men show their genius in boy
hood, anG give promise of what they will
do in later life. When the philosopher,
Newton, was a lad, he made a mill with
his jackknife, copied wheel by wheel from
a windmill that ground corn upon a hill
near to Grantham, in Lincolnshire, where
he went to school. He made his little
mill at last SO perfect, that by turning a
mouse into it's door, by some curious sys-
tenn Of tread-wheels the machienery would
begin to move, and the mill to grind. He
made also little water clock, which kept
time perfectly; and he placed dial on the

KEEP OUT OF DEBT.-Half the perplex-
ity, annoyance and trouble that men have
in this world is in consequence of getting
into debt. It seems to be natural for some
people to buy and incur obligations with
out measure, so long as they can avoid pay
ing away ready cash. Give one of this
sort a chance to buy on credit, and the
question of payment are matters that he
cares but little about. But what crop of
trouble springs up from the seed of debt
How many gray hairs it brings, and how
often it shortens life; sometimes leading
men to commit suicide or murder. And
yet how easy it is to keep clear Of this ter
Iible monster. Every young man should
form fixed and unalterable determine
ton, before commencing his active busl-
ness career, not to incur one penny of in
debtedness under any circumstances.
Never buy anything unless you have the
money to pay for it at once. Pay no at
tention to the 'rare chances" splendid
opportunities, bargains and the like.
Such are only traps set to catch victims.
If you see anything that you would like to
accept, look first at your money pile, and
make the answer depend on that. Always
pay as you CO. If you are short of money,
guage your demands accordingly.
