The Hayward Wales-He Gets a
Little Warming from London
Newspaper.

1t is the miserable fate of "Prince
HAS," in every age and country, rarely
to hear the truth when they are alive,
and still more rarely to have justice
done after death to such good qualities
as they possessed. The many kindly
stories which are now told, and which
rebound to the Princes credit, will
pass away with their narrators, and it
will be remembered only that there was
no friend to give him timely warning of
his imminent danger, and of the gather
ing disfavor with which his widely
conspicuous life is beginning to be
watched. " A city set upon hill can
not be hid" 1t is certain that Albert
Edward, Prince of Wales, has not a
kinder or braver heart, nobler presence,
a better understanding, or Il happier man
ner than distinguished his predecessor
George IV); and how does that pre-
decessor now live in English history? 1t
has often been said of the princes father,
that, by reason of shy, unsympathetic
manner, he was less popular in life than
his genial son, who has taste for English
sports and pursuits which his studious
foreign-born father could rot be ex-
pected to share. But death, which
shuts the gate of envy, and causes mems
deeds to be viewed thraugh clear spec
tacles, has raised the prince consort to
the highest pinnacle of human esteem,
because it is known of him that what
ever record leans to light he never shall
be shamed." Mournful, on the other
hand, and humiliating is it to reflect
what manner of records will "leap to
light" so soon as the Prince of Wales
takes his place in history.
How far his royal highness may be
tempted to underestimate the respon-
sibilities of his position by the danger
GUS friends and blind counselors who
assure him that in the public eye prince
can do no wrong, or that the virtues of
his royal mother and his wife will cover
multitude of personal indiscretions, is
not for us to say. Twice might the heir
apparent have heard the voice of seri-
ous-as it should have proved sufficient
warning. Between five and six years
ago his almost unhoped-for recovery
from an illness, of which the very sus-
pense dissipated the revolutionary
clouds that were thickly gathering,
seemed to afford him a new starting
point. The same opportunity may be
said to have repeated itself on the oc-
casion of his visit to India. Nor is it
yet too late; but there is no end even to
the opportunities of princes, and there
fore it is that we refuse to bear any
longer our portion of the weighty re-
sponsibility attaching to a too servile
and complaisant silence, which, should
mischief supervene, will to the next
generation appear equally incredibleand
base.

The Tomb of Macmillan.

Vienna Cor. Philadelphia Bulletin
Lighted by taper in the hands of one
of the Brothers we descended to the
gloomy crypt in the old Church of the
Capucines, where Austrian royalty is
buried. In the dim light we picked our
way through many metal caskets,
occasionally having horrible sensation
by hanging against one and being
startled by the noise of the contact with
such an object in such place. AT the
extreme end of the repulsive vault
the loDg-robed monk halted, and in
French indicated that we were beside
the casket of the Archduke Macmillan,
Emperor of Mexico. Poor Macmillan J
The victim of the man who presumed
to hang the trappings of Imperialism on
the borders of the Republic; the brother
of the Austrian Emperor, who exchanged
happy home and high position for the
fatal illusion of monarch's title. The
schemer, driven from his throne, dies an
exile, and the victim is brought home
to lie among his people. The love that
was borne the Archduke is evinced by
exquisite offerings of fresh flowers,
tied with broad white ribbons en-
broidered with gold, which are constantly
renewed on his coffin. Not far from
where Macmillan rests is the plain
casket containing the remains of the
young man called Napoleon II. He is
close to his grandfather, the Emperor
Francis l, and directly beside his
mother, the wife of the great Napoleon.
The most conspicuous casket in the
crypt is the ostentatious piece of silver
bronze which incloses the great Empress
Maria Theresa. The vault of the
Church of the Capucines contains the
bodies of the royal family; the Cathedral
of St. Stephen, their bowels, and the
Church of the Augustines, their hearts.
In the latter the rows of silver urns in
which the hearts are placed can be seen
by looking through grating in the
door of the cell. As one stands in the
dismal place, surrounded by the cofins
of the dead, the sight of the urns pro-
duces strange impression. 1t is a
luxury to escape from the depressing
sepulcher and again feel the warmth of
the genial summer sun.

The Fall of a Mountain in Savoy.

An interesting account OF the recent
falling of a mountain in Tarentaise,
Savoy, causing disaster to two flourish
ing villages, has been communicated to
the Courier des ALpes by NJ. Berard. The
phenomenon has been incorrectly re-
ported as instanteous and the destructive
effect complete, whereas the case is that
of mountain which for twenty days,
without cessation, has been dismember-
ing itself and literally falling, night and
day, into the valley below, filling it with
piled up blocks of stone, extinguishing
all sounds by its incessant thunder, and
covering the distant horizon with thick
cloud of yellowish dust. The entire
mass comprised in the slope forms mu-
tilated cone two hundred metres broad
at the top and six hundred at the base
(the slope being about fifty degrees);
this is composed of hard schist lying
close together, but no longer united;
and it is united to the body of the noun
tain only by vertical mass of forty or
fifty metres thick, which already is
fissured and shaken. Periods of repose
occur lasting only a few seconds, or
minute at most; then the movement re-
commences, and continues abo ut five
hundred hours. Blocks of forty cubic
metres become displaced with no ap-
parent cause, traverse the eighteen hun
dred metres of descent in thirty seconds,
leaping four hundred or five hundred me-
tres at time, and finally get dashed to
pieces in the bed of the torrent, or
launch their shattered fragments into
the opposite forest, moving down gigan-
tic pines as if theywere somany thistles.
One such block was seen to strike fine
fir-tree before reaching the bridge be-
tween the villages; the tree was not
simply broken or overthrown, but was
crushed to dust (Uolatilise); trunk and
branches disappeared in the air like a
burning match. Rocks are hurled to-
gether and broken into fragments that
are thrown across the valley like swal-
lows in whirlwind; then follow showers
of smaller fragments, and one hears the
whistling sound of thousands of pebbles
as they pass. NJ. Berad reached the
edge of the rock e, 400 metres high), on
one of the sides of the falling cone, and
ventured along it, obtaining a good view
of the g terrifying" spectacle. He re-
affirms his conviction that the phenome-
non is inexplicable by any of the usual
reasons that account for Alpine disturb
ances, such as penetration of water, or
melting of SHOWS or inferior strata in
motion; nor does the declivity of the
slope explain it. His hypothesis is that
some geological force is at work, of which
the complex resultant acts obliquely to
the axis of the mountain and almost
parallel to its sides.

The Old Lady's SpectacIes.

DIR. ]. R. Nichols tells, in his Freside
Science, an amusing story which illus
trates that curious property of quick
silver which enables it to dissolve gold.
Once, while lecturing before class of
ladies, on chemistry, the doctor had oc-
easion to 6 purify some quicksilver, :, by
leather remained upon the table after
the lecture, and an old lady appropriated
it, thinking it to be very nice to wrap
her gold spectacles in. The next morn
ing she visited the doctor in great alarm,
stating that the gold had mysteriously
disappeared, leaving the CHASING.
1t was even so; enough quicksilver
remained in the pores of the chamois
leather to amalgamate with the gold, and
entirely destroy the spectacles.
But the old lady, in spite of the
octor'sexplanation, looked upon it as a
great mystery.

THE LITTLE MAN.
By CLARA JANErrA DENTON.

Boast as you will, colossal frames,
And shoulders broadly grand,
OF stalwart limbs and brawny arms,
And wiry, gripping hand;
Still turn / TO the 1.-THE, slight form,
Fairest of natures plan
The shapely foot and agile step
That grace the little man.
ii you will study morals well
As life you travel through,
A man OF mind you'll seldom find
A man of muscle too
For when Dame Nature Bonaparts
Or Newton brains would plan,
With tactics true, she straightway seeks
For use little man.
The lordly giant wins his way
With maidens not Ger Dice,
Who love the tramp Of pond feet,
And clasp so like vice,
But what gains most, where most's at stake
Disprove the fact who can
Are bird-ike ways and tender tones
That mark the little man.
Tolift load or bear hand
At plow, or OK, or maui,
You'd choose, of course, n brawny arm,
And this you manhood call
Butah, 10 do gen'r deed,
0rgentle morals scan
With sweet answering charity,
Go, see the little man.
And If some day hand need
To wipe away tear,
No stalwart arm with steel-lined soul
Ny woful plant shall hear,
For mark, the heart ordained to lead
Inlove's sweet-fray the van,
Is that which throbs with pulses light,
Within the little man.

The Ha,ck-Eye says that Burlington
man has invented a new illuminating
fluid, more brilliant than gas, cheaper
than kerosene, destitute of odor and
perfectly non-explosive. He tested it in
large Parlor lamp the other night. He
obtained a splendid view of the next
comet, but was so absorbed in wonder
ing which way his wife and children
went, that he did not make any scien-
titic or definite observations. They
have all got back now and the roof is re-
paired, but the smell which hangs
around the place cannot be cradle ated.
A cheap homemade light is a great
thing to have in the family.

Tar NIGHT clerk of one of our hot,

THE night clerk of one of our hotels
was startled about eleven o'clock the
other night by the following converse
ton, at a time when he supposed he was
alone in the office: Come along, you
Hoodlum, let's so upstairs" "Go
nothin'," was the gruff reply, "let's
wait till the midnight train comes in !;
there's nothing you can get blood out of
in the house now" And the amazed
and Mortified clerk could see nobody in
the room except two old gray mosqui-
toes, doing on a Saratoga trunk.

WHEN THE GRASS SHALL COVER ME.

When the grass shall cover me,
Head to foot, where l am lying;
When not any wind that blows,
Summer blooms nor winter SHOWS,
Shall awake me TO your signing;
Close above me as you pass,
You will say, How kind she was"
You will say, How true she was"
When the grass grows over me.
When the grass shall cover me,
Holden close to earth's warm bosom;
While laugh, or weep, or sing
Nevermore, for any thing;
You will find in blade and blossom,
Sweet, small voices, odorous,
Tender pleaders in my cause,
That shall speak me as was
When the grass shall cover mel
When the grass shall cover me!
All, beloved, in my sorrow
Very patient, l can wait
Knowing that, or. soon or late,
There will dawn clearer morrow;
When your heart will moan, Alas!
Now 1 know how true she was;
Now ] know how dear she was,"
When the grass grows over me.

drinks until l fully recovered and
was able to relate my story. | told
them my suspicious and fears, and
this gentleman"-here Carrie paused
aud turning to fine looking man
near her, said-"Mr. James, by his
ready belief in what told, and his
energy and spirit in arousing the
sheriff and his men, has been the
main cause in bringing assistance. -
Mr.. Spencer grasped the young
mans hand, and thanked him.
"Your plan succeeded admirably,
Carrie" he said; and advancing to
the washstand he took out the mon
ey-belt, saying, "my money is all
right, as you see"
The landlord quivered with rage
as he saw how completely he had
been defeated.
As the men began to search the
room, the landlord protested his in
nOcence, declaring that they had no
right to hold him or his men prison
ers, or to search his house.
Breaking open the door, above
which was the bust, the men rushed
in. The room was empty, save for a
long ladder, which reached shelf
above the door. A hole above the
shelf disclosed the bust to be broken
in half, so that a man could easily
climb up the ladder, get on the shelf,
thrust his head in the bust, which
was large enough for an ordinary
sized mans head, and see all that
was going on in the adjoining room.
This certainly looked suspicious,
but absolute proof was yet wanting.
On returning to the room occupied
by Mr.. Spencer, they again searched
every nook and corner. Suddenly,
Carrie and Mr.. james, who had been
standing by the fireplace, gave a
loud cry. for on close examination
they had found spots of blood on
the bricks which formed the hearth.
They began to pull up the bricks,
which proved loose, when Carrie
feeling faint-gave way to the sher-
iff and his men, who soon had them
all pulled up, when cavity was dis
closed, containing the murdered
body of a gentleman whom Mr..
James and the sheriff remembered to
have stopped at s. three days be-
fore.
The evidence was conclusive.
The landlord and his confederates
were well guarded through the night
and the next day they were lodged
in Jail, when in due time they were
sentenced and suffered the extreme
penalty of the law.

As passed the day Sir Henry tried
In vain to battle with the tide;


As passed the day Sir Henry tried
In vain to battle with the tide:
The inflading ships around
Lay stranded on the middle Ground y
And failed their promised aid:
Then as the day drew to close
Bright curling flames from one arose:
The others, with the landed force,
On ssaward current took their course
In motion undelayed.
The thunders of the battle ceased,
The twilight shades of eve increased,
The wartime drew their anchors in
And to retire did begin
While ebbed the tide away.
As by his gun bold Marion stands,
And gaily pats her with his hands,
He says to those about him there,
''When friends depart it is but fair
We them blessing pay.
His eyes the sight-lines quickly trace,
He gives the waiting match a place;
A flash, the blessing" speeds away
Upon its errand DER the bay,
To Parker's ship addressed.
Two middies in the cabin stand,
Each with goblet IN his hand,
Which, whilst they curse this luckless day
In memory of the loved away,
To lips are closely pressed.
Three tars srrayed upon the deck,
Regret their flagship thus s-wreck:
The middie's heads the missile eleaves
The tars three msngled corses leaves,
Then leaps into the sea.
Nights curtain fell, and all was calm;
Sleep to the weary brought her balm:
Assailant and aSSailed forgot
The terrors that the strife had brought;
Did angered feelings flee.
A new morn rose, the fray was o'er,
The feet had anchored far from shore;
And now alike each party sought
The kindest care for those who fought,
The gushing wounds were stayed.
But for the CHASTITY comrades slain
The last of earthly rites remain;
Encofined some, enshrouded more,
Adown the grave, the ship side o'er,
They make their last parade.
With ships repaired as best they could,
Soon out to sea the armada stood;
Then Charleston bells aloud were rung,
Gay banners to the breeze were flung,
And, "God be praised, f" arose
In city full, ''among the pines,
From South to North along the lines;
And men in faith still stronger grew,
And covenant with him anew,
In him their trust repose.
