The war was nearly over; II was in the
last action that possibly the last shot fired
struck Rcgnaut in the left temple.
Clarin, says lIamcrtin, returned 10 Paris
after . fruitlcss search. At six news was
brought in by an ambulancicr that Reg
nault had boon found, and in evidence he
broughta little chain with silver tear.
This tear had been given him by his be-
trothcd, and when she gave IL she had said
Take 1t now that 1 am happy, but YOU
must give IL back to me the first time you
make me weep. -" IN The Footsteps Of
Fortuny and Regnault, in NorcmJer number
Of The Century.
I'm happy now--I have no room for fears
My soul II satisfied with thy sw ct love.
Then tnlsc this little chain--n tear It bears
And hold 1t as II sacred treasure trove;
And with that tear ali dread shall pass
Aud happy confidence with me remain,
And patiently I'll watch each liug'ring day
Until my treasure comes to me again.

Each sssSs'ratc hair is numbered on thy

Thus shalt thou be through dangers SURELY

And nil things aid thy safety to promote.
Yet tho my iai,h Is strengthened by such
thought,
A narrowing fear looms up before my

And shot and shell around him flercely
Alas I! the last one trees him from all pain.
His stifrning corpse lies wclt'ring ON the

And near his heart is found that silver

And to his loved one the sad token bear.
All, hapless maid, now thou shalt weep, in
Thy heart from hence no joy shall evcr
For blow blow like this must make it always
Must crush IL meath an avalanche OF woe
And when thy gaze Is fix'd upon that tear
And memory recalls what thou didst say
To thy dear lord upon that last sud day,

Must tear thy soul with agony sublime
Thy breaking heart shed tears of crimson'd

That naught can stanch or heal through

All hearts must sympathize with thy dee,

And there, forgetting all thy grief ant

And every tear forever wiped away,
Thou'lt be united to thy love ngain,
To dwell with him in those bright realms

the Editor of The Epening Critic

Among tho many gatherings at the Ma
TONS Capital during the past few months,
the w0men's meeting just closed has been
one of special interest. This union, M
outgrowth Of the memorable crusade, n to-
day o live organization and far reaching in
its influence. When it was formed many
asked what can few women do with such
n momentous question. They were sneered
at by those who should have 'he6n their
friends, who forgot that woman had always
been an acknowledged factor in social re-
form. tf p
The example of Lucretia Mott and others
conspicuous in the anti-slavery reform has
been an inspiration to women to labor for
the suppression of this worse than African
slavery, the drink curse. This they expect
to bring about by prayer and agitation,
educating the masses, creating q healthier
public sentiment. The women whose special
forte is public speaking are using their gifts
in this philahthropic' work. !. Others are
quietly using their pens, sending broadcast
over the land thoughts which will eventu-
ally change public opinion. This meeting
of Christian, women, many of them highly
educated, has left deep, and, we trust,
lasting impression in this city Miss Will
lard, the president, is woman Of great OK
cellence Of character, and has given up
places of emolument for this Christlike
missionary work. Every day brings new
recruits to the ranks, and soon East and
West aud North and South will rally to the
cause and free the land from the curse.

1t is proposed to abolish tho charity
known as Watts Poor Travellers House,
at Rochester, England, made famous by
Dickens, in his Seven Poor Travellers,
one of the most popular of his Christmas
stories. Recently the trustees appointed an
inspector to investigate the characters Of
the applicants for and recipients Of the
charity, and his report has just been pre-
sented to the trustees Tho meeting was a
private one, but it may DO stated that the
inspector reported that during the ninety
two evenings covered by the investigation
1,25s men applied for admission, and sos
were actually admitted, of whom the great
majority were wayfaring mechanics an
swering to the description of the founder of
the bequest, viz, "Poor travellers" The
general feeling Of the trustees appears to be
in favor Of tho retention Of tho charity, tho
chairman expressing his conviction that
the Poor Travellers House was answering
the purpose Of its founder.
