social superiors, increased sslf-respect is
tstifed in the great attention now
paid to personal appearance by even
the poorest classes. 1tis impossible for any
one who travelled there, whether north or
south, east or west, twenty or even ten years
ago. not to be struck by the improved out
ward appearance of the people now seen.
And here let me point to a very interesting
conclusion therefrom deduced. There is no
doubt whatever that the Germans learned
many things during the war of 1901.
Good manners, personal nicely, taste in
dress, were some of the things learned during
the sojourn of the German soldiers on
French soil, and last. but not least, an ideal
equality, and familiarity with what doubt
less appeared to many an ideal social condi-
iron. These things Germans can not forget,
nor can they forget the impressions pro-
duced on French minds by the iron discip-
line, brutality it must be called. of their
own military system. That the discipline is
detested at home is sufficiently evidenced
by the spread of emigration, and the neces-
sity the government is under of looking
after its subjects papers," and keeping
them well under its eve.

Charles Summers Early Love.

The love, by pre-eminece, of Charles Sum-
ners life was in his comparatively early
days, for a woman who has been happy
wife and mother, and who is still living.
Relinquished on account of her preference
for the gentleman whom she afterward mar
ried, it assumed in his mind the only blame
less form of baffied attachment, that of
sentiment which differs from love only in
the absence of the appropriating element
which is the distinguishing mark of the
grand passion. He became the best friend
of both parties, and after lapse of time re-
membered the experience without regret or
pain, though | have sometimes thought it
made him doubtful of his own powers of
pleasing Three years before his death,
after his marriage and separation from
another woman, / spoke to
him in strong commentator of
certain literary productions of
attention from the general public. Charm
ing, charming" was the reply, with soft
ening of his face, tender cadence in his
voice and dreamy look in his eyes that l
never saw when any other subject or any
other person was under discussion. / OBJ
served during the evening that followed this
quiet conversation that. he only aroused
from the pleasantly meditative mood into
which my remark seemed to have thrown
him to assent to everything j said. Il was
an agreeable experience, but 1t was not in
| toxicating, for l was calmly aware that the
remote but sure cause OF all this bland APP
proyal was--another woman. | thought of
the quaint exclamation which Mrs. Oil
| pnant puts into the mouth of sweet, con-
slant Margaret Maitland, after meeting the
| lover of her youth: Among all the
changefulness of this unstable world, how
steadfast some things are!"

THE BOYS IN THE SHIFTS OF BLUE.
BY DORA SHAW.

Late and early, early and late
see them there at the engine gate,
Inc glad faced boys OF Company ),
gallant band and true.
With beaming eye for some passing beauty,
Yet ear alert for the call of duty,
stand the boys In the shirts OF blue.
A smile for all and hate for none
A tender caress for each little one,
o, gentle hearts aud true
The loving mothers who gave you birth,
May we be proud OF your manly worth,
Be proud of their boys in blue.
Hark there's the signals vibrant clash;
Into their places the brave steeds crash,
With instinct strange ar true:
And, swift rs the meteor's sudden flash,
With thund'r0us tread 10 the street they dash,
And away with the boys i'll blue.
Away to the scene of some dread disaster
On, on they speed, fast. faster. faster;
Needless the voice or lash OF MASTER
Bravely their work they do.
They reach at last the Fire Fiend's lair,
On go the boys up some lettering stair.
For women and children are dying there
On, ON go the boys In blue
On with brave heart, but bated breath,
Daring the red hot jaws of DEATH
On go that band so true.
Harkl womans Shrek and mans hoarse shout
The mother ana children all are outl'
Aye. saved by the boys in bluel
And brouzed cheeks that sorrow yet
With tears has never touched are wet,
Because OF your deeds so true:
Aye! freely of your lives ye give
la sacrifice so others live
God bless ye! boys in blue
II that the heros crown be won
BY noble deeds all nObly done.
Then should We crowned be, each one.
Unfailing hearts, and truel
But should the world forget TO praise.
God still remembers and repays.
And may He gladden. all the DAYS
OF the boys In the shirts of blue.
The Clipper.

CervanteS.
IBlackwood's Magazine.l

A singular destiny has been that of
Miguel de Cervantes. The same perverse
and malignant fortune which pursued him
all through his life, making him who was
born the gayest of men, with the sweetest of
temper and the noblest heart, the most
wretched and the worst afiicted-crossing
all his schemes 80 that not one prospered To
his own ell-being-baffied his active, stren-
uous, and fertile genius at every turn-best-
ing back his resolute spirit at every step for
ward, in arms or in letters-interposing be-
tween him and his ambition obstacles the
strangest and least xpected-recucing him
at last to condition so miserable that we
blush, not only for Spain, but for human
nature, to think of it. This same blind and
mysterious fortune has attended even the
great book with which the name of Ger
vantes is eternally associated. From its
birth to the present day-although there is
no book which ever achieved so much fame
for its author-thers ia none whose history
has been so checkered by strange and bizarre
incidents, so that even the photography of
"Oon Quixote" is romance. All that
Cervantes ever suffered in his own life
"toil, envy, want, the patron, and the JaiP'
is reflected in the career of his book, the
mirror and monument of his genius. The
reverses, the indignities, the privations, the
wrongs, which the author bore with so Sc
rene front from Christian and from Moor,
have visited his "Don Quixote' in at least
equal measure and in very similar kind.
The book, like the man, has been plundered,
tortured, reviled and abused, and prosecuted,
so that there seemed scarcely any insult or
injury left for it to endure. For more than
two centuries and a-half it has been ex-
posed to all manner of ill-usage from native
and from foreigner-from publishers, COM
mentators, critics, plagiarists, and trans
lators. 1t has been adapted to the "humor
of the age" by many hands in many tongues.
1t has furnished plays without number at
home and abroad. 1t has been the material
of farces, pantomimes, and ballets. Some
have made it q lampoon; others have exault-
ed it into an epic, on a line with the "1liad"
and the "Eneid." 1t has been expurgated,
denounced, Questioned, caricatured, subjected
to every kind of indignity which q book
could suffer, except that OF not being read.

Girls, remember that above other feat
ures that adorn the female character, deli
eacy stands foremost within the province of
good taste. Not that delicscy which is per-
petually iii quest of something to be
ashamed of, which makes merit of blush,
and shippers at the false construction of its
own ingenuity has put upon an innocent re-
mark: this spurious kiDdof delicacy is as
far removed from good taste As from good
feelings aud good sense; but the high
minded delicacy which malLtains its pure
and undertaking walk alike among women
as in the society of men, which shinks from
nc necessary duty, and can speak, when re.
auired, with seriousness and kindness Of
things at which j. would be ashamed to
smile or blush.

TIME FOR THE PEOPLE TO SPEAK.

The thirty odd botcrs in the Legislature must
not suppose that because they are recognized
as Mr. Conklings creatures, they can escape
personal responsibility for their acts. They
need not hope to 90 back To their districts, say
iIg 81 did this because Mr.. Conkling de
mandcd ii, and | could not refuse my fricnd.r
The Republican voters of the State do hold Mr..
Conkling chiefly responsible for the disglaccful
facti0nal warfare at Albany, which is wearing
out the patience of the public and cyhau,tinr
the strength of the Republican party; but at
the same time they know tliat he would not he
able to maintain the conflict an hour if these
th y men lad not surrendered to him their in
dependence OF Judgment, their honor as Rcpub-
hcanS, indeed their manhood itself. No plea of
,sonal or political Obligation will save them
from tins condemnation. Each one Of them
could use his vote for the benefit Of Che Ecpub-
ican party instead of letting Mr.. lonkine do
what lac plcascs with il, and each one of them
WiIl most asSuredly and most JUSTLY he held to
A. great a responsibility for the failure to elect
Scnaiors-ii the Senators are not clcctcd-as if
lac had prevented an election by hls single act
Bat all these things have been said bcfolc
and seem to have no power to move the stold
faction at Albany. There seems to bc but one
way left and that is for the Republican masses
to make themselves heard again as they did in
the opening Of the contest. The meetings that
were held then in all parts OF the State, and the
tide Of protests against the reelection of McSsrs.
Conkling and Platt that poured in upon Albany,
showed many doubtful man where the place
Of safety was for him, if he wanted Il political
future. Now let the bOltcrs hear the thunder
again! This time it may do them more good.
Let the constituents Of these men meet through
ont their Districts, and call upon them either to
resign or to respect the decision of the tority.
Let this sentiment be incorporated into pcti-
tons and protests. The statement that a
thousand Republicans were present at "a meet
ing may be denied, but their signatures on
paper cannot be disputed. There must be ten
Republicans among these thirty-two who want
to survive Mr. Conklng, and a change of ten
votes will be enough. Meet and protest.
New-York tribune., 1881-07-13

of an era of good feeling and patriotic accord,
If the President survives to carry out his plans.
If he survives, therefore, the tendency of events
Will be to draw strong Southern support to
him. and it will not be difficult matter to en-
courage that support by action of the Republic
can Congressman. On the other hand, if the
Presidents injuries should unhappily and un-
expcctedy result IN his death, no element in the
Republican party Will be able to make head
against the policy which he has formed. But
those who are most in sympathy with his lib
eral and generous views will be likely to com
mand the support OF a considerable number of
Democrats, and OF true and genuine Independ-
ents from the Southern States. Bargains will
do no good, nor will sincere Republicans resort
to barter to secure the success of their princi-
pies. They are stronger to-day than ever be-
fore, because of the Presidents high estimation
and personal popularity, and an earnest and
manly appeal to the people of the South will
surely not fail of effect
