Can any fate, asks the London Echo,
be more melancholy than that which has
beclouded forever the life of one of Her
Majesty's cousins2 Some twenty years
ago society in London was charmed for a
short time by the presence of one of the
loveliest creatures that ever breathed.
Tho only daughter of wise and honored
king, she had accompanied her father to
see that incompatible assemblage
of works of art with which Manchester
astonished the world in 1857. A month
or two latel the Princess Charlotte be-
came the bride. at the age of seventeen,
of an accomplished prince, brother of an
emperor, the Archduke Ferdinand Maxi
milan of Austria, and their prospect
was that of most happy, honorable,
and useful life. Such il was for seven
short years, when the tempter came, in
the person of Louis Napoleon. Then fol-
lowed the anxieties of The mock monarch
of Mexico, and the wretched death, in
June, 1867, of Napoleon's dupe. It's no
news that the unhappy widowed princess
has been insane ever since; but now we
learn that one of the most experienced
physicians in such cases on the Cont.
nent, pronouuoes The Empress Charlotte
incurable. Her health is good, and, her
mind being in state of perfect tran
guilty, she expects the early return Of
her husband; it is said that her already
great beauty has increased. She lives in
an imaginary world, talks with imaginary
visitors and friends, and finds soiace in
this harmless delusion, while sIe ignores
the people around her as if they were
not. So far is this latter notion carried,
that she disdains the services of maid,
and performs her own toilet. To main
tain the opinion that she is still empress,
upon which her life seems to depend, one
special copy is printed for her of the
Almanach de Gotha, that unquestionable
witness of high birth, in which the Court
of Mexico holds its place as in 1867.

VOLUME III.
WIEN nIsTs HAVE CLEARED.

When the mis-: Is have rolled in splendor
From the beauty OF the hills,
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in kisses on the rills,
We may read loves shining letter
In the rainbow Of the spray
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away;
We shall know as we are known,
Never more 10 walk alone,
In the drawing Of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
III we err in human blindness,
And forget that we are dust
II We miss the mw OF kindness,
When we struggle to be Just,
Snowy wigs of peace shall cover
All the pain that clouds our day,
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away,
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
FL the sunlight of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the silvery mists have yelled us
From the faces of orr own,
Oft we deem their love has failed US,
And we tread our path alone
We should see them near and truly,
We would trust them day by day,
Neither love nor blame unduly,
IL the mists we're cleared away,
We shall know as we are known;
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawniDg of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the mists have risen above us,
La our father knows his own,
Face TO face with those that love us,
We shall know as we are known;
Love beyond the orient meadows,
Floats the golden fringe of day /;
Heart to heart we bind the shadows,
Till tbs mis,s have cleared away;
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
When the day Of night is dawning.
And the mists have cleared away.

COMMODORE MUTT, his fellow-dwsrfs
and the attendant giant, all went to
one of Mrs. Hayes's recent receptions
Their dimunitive coach, drawn by Shet-
land ponies, rolled up the carriage-way
behind the landaulet and large black
horses Of Ex-Secretary Chandler, and che
little people hoped out and walked
demurely in. The ladies each wore seal
skin sacques and dark trailing silks,
while the little Commodore and his
friends were attired in dress coats, white
neck-ties and light gloves. After they
had been presented, and Mrs. Hayes had
leaned over and shaken each little hand
along came the giant, head and shoulder
taller than any one in the room.

old, and that they all "came to their

A HEN was recently found in the mid
die of hay-mow in a barn in Tennes-
see, which had been there six months,
without water or anything to eat except
what the hay afforded. Being covered
up when the hay was put in the barn,
the hen could not get out. Her toe
nails and beak had grown half an inch
during the time, and her size was greatly
reduced. When taken out and placed
in the open air the hen tumbled over,
with every syptom off fit, but she shortly
recovered and is now doing we'll.
