GlOster's SOlilOquy.

Now Is the winter of our discomfort
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
Yet there's a hue and cry for weather strips,
And coal remains in the neighborhood of So;
Now are our brows bound with victorious
wreaths,
Excepting mine, which is bound with a towel
Dipped in ice-water; and yet am not happy.
Grim visaged war had smooth'd
His wrinkpd frontispiece, and now, instead
OF mounting barbed steeds that snuff
The battle from afar, and whose gallant
Riders wish 1t was from a little further,
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber
To the lascivious blessings of bull fiddle.
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court a forty dollar looking
glass;
I, that am rudely stamp'd and want loves
majesty,
Not having a five-cent nickel to my back;
1, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion,
Cheated of features by assembling nature,
Being hump back'd, knock kneed, pigeon
toed,
Spring halt, ring boned and spawned, SO that
Even dogs bark at me as 1 halt by
Why, 1, in this weak, piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time
Unless spy my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own deformity.
And, therefore, since can not prove a lover,
am determined to prove a villain
Then, hear me, We immortal gods,
Straightway do annouce myself
As candidate for the State Legislaturei
on City Derrick.

ladies of the court, the favorites Of near
est intimacy.
The room reserved for jewels is alone
a complete jewelers. museum. There
could be seen all the known or novel
specimens of pearls, brooches, aigrettes,
diamond necklaces, bracelets, pins,
clusters, combs, all labeled and shut in
glass cases. Some were missing from
their places. Her Majesty had had the
presence of mind to carry them off.
She had established beside her bed
room al oratJTy, Il conf. s>ional, and, l
believe, also an altar, adorned with a
profusion If relics. Beyond the oratoIy
was her boudoir. 1t contained book
case finely carved, but of small size. In
it were more than n hundred volumes,
some devotional and others of doubtful
piety, like the stories of Boccacio and the
tales of Lafontaine. A foreign medical
book shone among the amorous poems
of the fabulist. We would have sup
posed that the sovereign had borrowed
it from 4 medical specialist if the i'm
perial eagle, stamped on the cover, had
not told us that this suspicious book
had the honor to belong to the En-
press. A little work, thick as the hand,
had attracted our attention by the ele-
gance of its style. 1t was the manu-
script of a novel of rather sprightly style.
The author had signed this indecent
thing, "Your Majesty's Clown" The
clown was Prosper Merimee, Senator
and member of the French Academy.
There was on the table of the boudoir
an album richly bound and closed by a
silver clasp. 1t was a collection of pho
tographs, all representing the Empress
in various actress costumes. She fig
ures there as soubrette, as Rosina, as
a page, as first young lady, as an OPP
era dancer, in tights and gauze. The
last photograph represents her as Ag-
mes, wearing a long white dress and
with eyes cast down. Below this pho
tograph the Emperor had written ::
"Eugenie en- agnes !!!!"' accompany
ing the inscription with the four ex-
clamation points.
Leaving this apartment, all perfumed
with the odors of burned letters and
scented toilet waters, we descended to
the lower floor TO purify ourselves of the
miasms of the one above. This lower
story is quite subterranean world,
somewhat Babylonian, but well lighted.
A long, airy, vaulted gallery opens on
series of offices, cellars, kitchens,
workshops for pastry cooks, etc. What
remains of Nero's palace in Rome can
alone give an idea of this gigantic sub
structure. The kitchen battery is the
most opulent arsenal of saucepans and
dripping-pans that ever adorned pal
ace, and makes you think that every
day it supplied food for 1000 guests.
The wine cellar contained 10000 litres
of wine; the Empire was fond of eating
and drinking.

FROM THE DANISH.

FROM THE DANISH.
The birds of the North flew onward,
The lichen its odor shed;
The crescent moon was pale
As a water ily-dead-
Torn from its parent stem and floating
For weeks on its watery bed.
The northern light burRcd brightly
The circle was broad and low,
The rays were like whirling pillars of fire
With green and crimson glow.
The dying man lay in his hut
"Oh, where shall we bury thee?
Shall we bury thee on the mountain,
Or under the swelling sea?
Shall we bury thee on the mountain
In the eternal snow,
Where the spirits of the mist shall dance
While thou liest still below?
Or wilt thou be sunk in the sea-
The blue and swelling sea?
The birds of the tempest shall whirl above,
And the seals play merrily-''
He mournfully smiled and whispered low,

Are Fa, People nieaIthys

Why are fat people always complaining?
asks some one who entertains the popular
though erroneous notion that health is synor
o.-:-,us with fat. Fat people complain because
they are diseased. Obesity is an abnormal
condition of the system, in which the saccha-
rfne and Oleaginous elements of the food are
assimilated, to the partial exclusion of the
m,.scle-forming and brain-producing elements
In proof of this, it is only necessary to asser.
the well-known fact that excessively fat peo-
pie are never strong, and seldom distinguished
for mental powers or activity. Besides, they
are the easy. prey of acute and epidemic dis
eases, and they are the frequent victims OF
govt heart disease, and apoplexy. Allan's
Anti Fat is the only known remedy for this
disease. 1t contains no acid, is absolutely
harmless, and is warranted to remedy the most
confirmed case of obesity, or corpulencY.

1t is explained that the frequent
mysterious burning of hay stacks and
farmers buildings are caused by
wasps. When one of these insects sits
down on a man to rest its weary limbs
the man is soon convinced that the wasp
carries big conflagration in its pistol
pocket. The firing of the barns, etc.,
however, is caused by the spontaneous
combustion of the wasp's nest. There
is a great deal of spontaneity in the
scabbard of a wasp, too.-Norristos0n
