SOPHIE PERoWSKAJA.
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.

Down from her high estate she slept,
A maiden, gently born,
And by the icy Volga kept
Sad watch, and waited morn;
And peasants say that where she slept
The new moon dipped her horn.
Yet on and on, through shoreIess SHOWS
Stretched toward the great north pole,
The foulest wrong the good God knows
Rolls as dark rivers roll.
While never once for all these woes
Upspeaks one human soul.
She toiled, she taught the peasant. taught
The dark-eyed Tartar. He,
Inspired with her lofty thought,
Rose up and sought to be
What God at the creation wrought,
A man! God-like and free.
Yet eer before him yawns the black
Siberian mines And oh,
The knout upon the bare white back!
The blood upon the snow!
The gaunt wolves, close upon the track,
Fight DER the fallen sol
And this that one might wear a crown
Snatched from strangled sire
And this that two might mock or frown,
From high thrones climbing higher,
To where the parricide looks down,
With harlot in desire!
Yet on, beneath the great north star,
Like some lost living thing,
That long line stretches black and far
Till buried by deaths wing
And great men praise the goodly car
But God sits pitying.
The storm burst forth From out that storm
The clean red lightning leapt,
And 10, PROSTATE royal form ]
Like any blood, his crept
Down through the snow, all smoking warm,
And Alexander slept!
Yea, one lies dead for millions dead!
One red spot in the snow
For one long damning line of red;
While exies endless 60
The babe at breast, the mothers head
Bowed down, and dying so!
And did a woman do this deed?
Then build her scaffold high,
That all may on her forehead read
Her martyrs right to die!
Ring Cossack round on royal steed!
Now lift her to the sky!
But see! From out the black hood shines
A light few look upon
Poor exile see from dark deep mines,
Your star at burst of dawn
A third! crack of hangman's lines
A frail shape jerked and drawn!
The car is dead: the woman dead.
About her neck cord.
In Gods house rests his royal head
Hers in place abhorred:
Yet would rather have her bed
Than thine, most noble lord
Yea, rather be that woman dead,
Than this new living car,
To hide in dread, with both hands red,
Behind great bolt and bar
While, like the dead, still endless tread,
Sad exiles tow'rd their star.

PRAYER.
BY TFENYSON,

More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore let thy
voice
Rise like fountain for ME night and day;
For what are men better than sheep or goats,
That nourish blind life within the brain.
II, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer,
Both for themselves and those who call them
friends
For so the whole round earth is every way
Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.

DENIAL OF A REPORT.
The published statement that the President

Barnes and Woodward comes from Long Branch
but it is five days old in Washington 1t was
handed around the streets some DAYS ago, and
was denied positively at the White House. 1t
is again denied there to-day. The quietus
to this revived report would seem to
be given by the action of the War department
as far as Drs. Barnes and Woodward are con-
cerned. The Secretary of War issued an official
order directing those two surgeons to proceed to
Long Branch. That order holds until another
directing them to return to their stations is
issued, which will be when there is
no longer necessity for their atten-
dance on the President. 1t has not
been issued yet, and there is no probability of
its being issued for some time Dr. Woodward
is keeping record fthe Presidents case, and
could hardly be spared. DR.. Reyburn is Dr.
Bliss special assistant, and DR.. Barnes work has
been highly valued both by the other surgeons
