Meeting of the Gar and Czareyna.


The Czarevna of Russia had not seen
the Czarewitcb, her husband, for eight
months when she surprised him lately by
meeting him Unexpectedly at Dunaburg.
She arrives first---a bright young lady,
resembling her sister, the Princess OF
Wales, but looking rather stronger. An
onlooker gives an animated description OF
the scene: Though courteous 20 all, the
Czarevna is evidently neryously impatient
for the arrival of her husband. She has
not much longer to wait; all at once the
shouting outside begins, her face becomes
radient, and, wrapping herself in the mag
nificent rotonde of blue fox fur, she hur-
ries to the platform, amid renewed hur-
rahs and clamorous cries Of joy. Her eyes
are eargerly fixed on the two red globes
of the approaching engine-there Is a
shrill whistle, much putting of steam and
the train rolls slowly into tae station.
The Czarewitch, little guessing the sur
prise in store for him, descends saluting
as he passes the long file of soldiers drawn
up on the platform. Suddenly he sees
her; then all else is forgotten-the STA
ton, the soldiers, the crowd of people
and the wife is in her husbands arms,
held in long embrace. Then like a roar
of thunder, louder than the last, burst
forth deafening shouts, mixing up with
the national hymn,

Rubber Boots.


All one week the Children were wandering
roundabout
Lamcnting, like the starting, that they could
not get out,
Because rainy curtain had shut up on the
hills,
And doubled. white and foaming, the naughty
little rills.
But the rain went of at last, as you'n find it
apt to do,
And all the earth was green as grass, and all
the sky was blue.
All the little growing things had put forth
little shoots,
And off went all the children to lind their
rubber boots.
oh me, such laughing, such asplashing all
about
They made me think of ducklings thatshaye

The hen mamma upon the bank, in very
great dismay,
But |, unlike the hen mamma, had not word

At last, | thought 1t prudent | should hurry

Paupers may b. fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less
Crumbled shirt and dirty jacket
May becloths the golden ore
OF the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest csn do no more.
There ale streams of crystal nectar.
Ever flowing out of stone;
There are purple beds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and oyerthrown,
God, who counts by souls, not dresses.
Love and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man appraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Masters -Tulers-lords, remember
That your meanest binds are men.
Men of labor, men Of feeling,
Men of thoughts and men of fame.
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In q mans ennobling name.
There are oam-embroidered oceans,
There are little wood-clad rilIs;
There are feeble inch-high saplings,
There are cedars on the hills.
God who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me;
For to Him all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands clone are builders
OF ii nations wealth and fame,
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same;
BY the sweat of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Fainly lifts its feeble voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loneliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny right.
God, whose worldwide voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me,
Links oppression with his titles
But as pebbles in the sea,

4 Reckless Riders Exploits.

MOI the least remarkable incident in
the lie of count Maurice Sander was his
nnection with Prince Metternich The
Prince was as punctlious, reserved, and
measured, in words and politics, as the
count was brusque, reckless and harum-
scarum. When he applied tothe prince
for the hand of his daughter, the prince
SAID he did not care about having his
daughters neck broken; but on Sander
promising to abandon his feats of cen
taurship, he at last gave his consent. The
very same evening Sander rode his horse
Tarter up two flights of stairs into a
drawing room, and coolly told the prince,
when he demonstrated with him for break
ing his promise. that ION the contrary, he
was keeping his promise, and accustom-
ing his horse to polite society,""
He was iucorrigible. He jumped any,
thing and everything. At a cross road
he once went over peasants wagon. He
crossed the Danube on the foes when the
ice was breaking up, galloped up and
down the Prater backward in his saddle,
and rivalled all the feats performed in
the great circuses.
In 1913 he was mobbed by the enraged
populace, ON occount of his connection
with Prince AIetternich but stepping out
on the balcony with dog-whistle and
two servants, each with sack full of cats,
he quite out whistled and out miaowed
his antagonists. Then, going down stairs
among them, he seized a stone, and,
throwing it at one of his windows, invit-
ed the crowd to smash the rest. Taken
aback at this courtesy, they refused.
Thereupon Sandor cried'
"NNell, then, let us go to my father in
laws and mash his"
This proposal was carried by acclama-
ton, and the Princes windows were duly
smashed. But by this time Sander had
got the crowd so under his control, that
no further damage was done, and what
might have turned out a serious riot was
changed into convivial meeting.
Que day remarkable transformation
took place. He became as nervous and
timid as he had been reckless and dar-
ing He never mounted a horse again,
refused to take the reins when he went
out driving, and always warned his
daughter to be cautious. This change, /
was told by one of his most Intimate
friends, was due to dream. The dream
was to the effect that Satan suddenly APP
peared with number of mirrors, which
he held one by one before the count, AID
in which Sander saw the danger he had
run in each of his exploits. Mirror after
mirror was held before him the sweat
poured from his brow, and the last glass
was reached. But instead of showing
him this one, Satan put it back with a
leer, and said:
''This is the last one; this has yet to
come"
At this moment the count awoke, and
vowed he would never mount horse
again. and he did not.

story Talking of bankers recalls the adj
venture which a bank president from a

tleman, no Christian would be guilty of
it, said the stranger.

smoker; land puff tastes differ.
