an international congress at Berlin at

THE NEW LOVE AND THE OLD.

From the Chicago Tribune.
There, speak In whispers; fold me to thy heart,
Dear love, for have roamed weary, weary
way;
Oh, have been among the dead to-day,
And, like pilgrim to some martyrs shrine,
A wed with the memories that crowd my
brain,
Fearing my voice, I WOO the charm Of thine;
Tell me thou ivest, lowest, yet again.
Not among graves, but letters old and dim,
Yellow and precious, have touched the past.
heverent and prayerful % we chant the hymn
Among the aisles where saints their shadows
cast;
Reading dear names On faded leaves that here
These drowned, in FLASHING Of q tender tear.
Or with deaths tremble pointing ''the be-
yond."
And, love, there came futter of white wings,
A stir of snowy robes from ont the deep
OF utter silence, as read the things
smiled to trace before learned to weep;
And hands, whose clasp was magic long ago,
Came soft before me, till yenrned to press
Mad kisses on their Wilderness: then the woe,
The sting Of death, the chill Of nothingness!
One was afar, where golden sands made dim
The shining steps Of the old trickster Time
And one was lost Al, bitter grief to him
Who wrecked his manhood In the depths of
crime!
Flushing the Orient lay meekly down
Among the Gaisies, dreaming loves glad dream
And one sweet saint now wears q starry
crown.
And thus there stole delicious odors still
From out those relics of the charmed past,
Signs from the lips omnipotent to will
And win rich tribute to the very last;
Rut daafh chanpa had haan aYn0no my
flowers,
And all their bloom had faded, 80 thatI
Yield my sad thoughts to tho compelling powers
OF the bright soul worship till die.
Nay, never doubt me, for my loves divine
And fearful past, I know my future thine

Sing Lullaby as lovers do,
Wherewith they bring their babes to rest
And lullaby can / sing too
As womanly as can the best.
With lullaby they still the child;
And, if be not much beguiled,
Full many W lnton babes have
Which must be stilled with lullaby.
First lullaby my youthful years
1t is now time to 60 to bed;
For crooked age and hoary hairs
Have won the haven within my head.
With lullaby, then, youth, be still;
With lullaby, content thy will;
Since courage quails and comes behind,
Go sleep, and 30 beguile thy mind.

Thus lullaby, my youth. mine eyes,
My will, my woes, my all that was!

But welcome pain, let pleasure pass.
With lullaby now take your leave,
With lullaby your dreams deceive;
And when you rise, with aching eye,
Remember then this lullaby.

"Are you not well this evening, sir?, so he
was forced to remain.
OF all the merry crowd, Prethibaut alone

What's the matter with you tonight,
Prethibaut?" asked one of the guests, you

Pardon me, gentlemen" replied the
gloomy one, "there are certain anniversa-

Never mind what's the odds? Go on

Very well, gentleman" said Prethibaut,
placing his snuff box en- the table before
him, and gazing on it with deep melancholy,
Il will tell you the story. Thirty-fi years

my property was that of o man a little
younger than I. He was about the same
age as Maurice Boisgibert here, and, by the
way, he much resembled him. Well, We

hit the table with the box. Veugiron, in q
cayernous voice, II would do the same"
The next morning Vaugiron received a
polite note from Boisgebett saying he had
been suddenly called away and would be
happy to see him at some future time, and
not till then did Prethibault tell him that
the story was made up for his benefit.

Strong minded women are rejoicing
over the fact that recent experiments on q
considerable scale show that among fe-
males the proportion of color blindness IS
one-tenth only as numerous among males.
Various reasons aro given for this, and one
is that the eyes of women are more exer-
cised upon colors and thus their organs of
sight are educated up to their proper use.
