THE HAUNTED WATER.
New York POst,l

INeW IOrR POSJ,l
Hemrned In by frowring Alpine rock
Lieth still, black pool,
Thither no screaming eagles flock,
And meath the shadow cool
No weary huntSman comes to lave
His hot, flushed face In the icy wave.
No mirrowed form of earth, of sky,
The waters dark reveal;
But, should the hayward traveller try
One daring glance to steal,
Reflected from his hidden soul.
He sees his hearts desires uDrOlI.
One came and stood by the rocky wall
In manhOod's early pride;
He heard sweet voices on him call.
And turned to the waters side,
Where passionate glance at it's troubled
breast
Showed him the one he loved the best.
Fair as Of old, though the merry glean
From her dear brown eyes had fled;
Gould it have been in troubled dream!
They told him she was deadl
Wistful she beCkOns, rapturouS leap
And the waves have closed over his dream
less sleep.
And another ventured; q hunter brave
Whose heart beat warm and high,
AS he stood alone by the fatal wave
And marked with eager eye
The princely deer, that calmly fed.
Nor ever raised its antlered head
nobler game WAS never slain,
How still the creature stands!
And q sudden dread DER the hunter came.
And shook his steady hands.
One cautious step-and the vision fled
AS the waters met DER his drowning head.
And another came TO that lonely place
And with restless. eager eye
He peered In the waters sullen face,
Then uttered q strange. glad cry;
For shallow and clear 9bOn9 th2 WAyeletS
And they ,rippled DER sands OF the yollowest
gold
Gold the image that filled his soul
And Stifled each warmer breath,
Now glitters and CLEANS as the ripples roll,
Enticing him to his death:
But the glitter fades into ghastlier gloom
When the victim lies in bis watery tomb
And another wanderer, forced TO roam,
An exile from the land
That gave him birth and his far-off home,
Stood by that sullen strand.
Was he growing mad, that his downward
glance
Encountered the vineyards OF sunny France?
And a passionate longing fills his soul
As his strained eyes see again
His village church, and he hears the roll
OF the curving, glittering Seine;
But the weary exile hath reached his homo"

The German Army.

An interesting account Of the German
army has recently been published by a
French officer, who was for many years
military attache at the court Of Berlin
The total number Of trained soldiers
Getmany could dispose Of in time of
war, including the troops Of the land
sturm, is estimated bv the writer at from
s.oO0.o0o TO $500, 900 men, of whom l,
100000 belong to the regular army and
landwehr Owing to improvements which
have been made in the details of the mo-
hilization scheme since the war of 1870
II, the writer calculates that in three
weeks the whole of the regular army
could be concentrated on the French
frontier, while in another three weeks the
fourth battalions and sixth divisions of
land wehr troops could be brought up
into line, the total strength Of the invad.
ing army being thus raised to about
100000 men. The mobilization of the
second levy of troops could not be be-
gun until the tenth week. hat by the end
Of the thirteenth week $4,000 more men
