King Henri is King Stephens pear,
His breecfes cost him but crownl"
30 from the old world came the jeer
Of them who hunted Toussaint DOWN
But what was he-this slave that swept
Ihe shambles, then to greatness leapt2
Their counterfeit In bronze, thing
To mock-or every inch king9
0a sar-souci's defiant wall
His people saw, against the sky,
CbTTstophe-a shape the height Of Saul
4 chief who brooked no rivals nigh.
Right well he aped tho antique state,
His birth was mean, his heart was great;
No azure Allied hts veins-instead
The Atrtc torrent, hot and red.
He bHiN far up the mountain-side
royal keep, and walled it round
Win towers the palm-tops could not hide;
The ramparts toward ocean frowneds
Beneath, within the rock-heWn hold,
de heaped monarchs store Of gold.
He made his mobiles in breath;
He held the power Of life and death;
And hero through torrid years he ruled
The Hsytian horde, despot king
Aooked Europe's pomp- her minions Enhoole
In trade and war and parleying-
Yet reared his dusky heirs in vain.
To end the drama, Fate grew fam
Uprose rebel tide, and flowed
Close to the threshold where he strodeS
''And now the Black must exit make,
A craven at the last, )" they say;
Not so-Christophe his leave will take
The long unwonted Roman way,
" Ho! Hol" cried he, " the day 10 done
And go down with the tropic sum-"
pistol-shot-no sign Of fear
SO died Christophe without peer.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS,
Ollie's Dreams.


Our Ollie went 10 his bed
With tears Just back of his eyes.
And pain. because, as his sister said,
He was overly fond of piesu
He dreamed the dreadfuliesr dreams
As dreadful as they could be;
For big, big piece Of pie, it seems,
Is bad, bad thing for tea.
He dreamed 81 tsrfiblg snow
That fell from sn lnky sky,
And every fake that the winds did blow
Was big as pumpkin pie
All In q heap twas laid,
While the rude winds laughed In glee,
But oh, the deep, deep drift that it made
Was sad, sad thing to seel
Then he thought the SUMMER was dead,
And winter would always stay;
That ali iceberg ledge was his only bed,
And glacier his home by day.
And the sun, too late he rose,
And he went to bed too soon,
And long, long icicle hung from the nose
OF the cold, cold man-in-the-moon.
he turned to his sister: oh,
How lonely and sad he felt
When he found she was made Of ice and snow
Which a hug would be sure to melt
just think Of the dreams he had;
As dreadful as dreams could be
Oh, a big; big piece of pie is bad
For small, small boy at teal

The PeriIs Of Good Health.

As men advance in life they continu.
ally note the survival Of those among
their contemporaries who seemed in boy,
hood and youth quite the reverse Of
the httest," while SO many OF those
most enyied then for vigor pass early
away. This is due to several causes.
There are many persons who, while
lacking physical force, have constitu
tons fawless il point of organic dis.
ease. If forced to labor hard, mentally
or physically, they would soon fail from
exhaustion, for they are quick to feel
fatigue, but by eompulsorily husband.
ing their resources they oftentimes
reach the eighties and even nineties, and

English Premier, Earl Russell-accom.
pllsh an amazing amount of work.
Their grand safeguard Is inability to
abuse their powers, Nature has in their
case imposed checks TOO stern to be dis
regarded. Such persons cannot extend
their hours of intellectual labor without
pains in the head which positively pro-
hibit it. They cannot get drunk with.

ing the penalty. NoLens volens they
have to be careful. On the other hand.
there is the man of powerful physique.
He rides all day and reads all night tax
ing green tea or brandy if he feels sleepy
or Clipped" In the morning he de-
clares himself as "fit as flea, and re-
ally does seem to be possessed with the
elasticity of limb and unceasing activity
of that exasperating bedfellow. It is
very difficult for such man to compre-
bend that he is drawing bills on health
to be repaid at 90 per cent. after 80, or,
perhaps, even sooner. It thus often
seems as though the tremendous strength
and health We envy in men was a mis-
fortune rather than blessing.
A writer in an English review raises
the question why a mind previously
healthy, and still apparently intact,
breaks down sometimes thoroughly
under a strain not exceptionally great,
and thinks it will probably be within
the scope of common sense to draw some
practical conclusions as to prevention.
The breakdown is nine times out Of
ten really due to long practiced exud-
ing of the natural powers. "Pain,
hunger, anxiety and a sense of mind
WEAKNESS are the warning tokens of ex-
haustion extending to the reserves (oi
strength and energy). When these indi-
cations are disregarded or destroyed, as
they may be bystupefyingdrugs, an inord
mate use of stimulants, or strong effort
of the will, the consumption of energy
goes on all the same-but unobserved. y
The penalty is merely deferred. Any
one who has scanned our obituary
notices of late will have observed the
number of business men cut down in
the prime of lie.

for the preacher, and then the services
were begun.

George EliOt's Grave.

It is o quiet neighborhood, where
children play lin front of little dooryards,
and common flowers bloom in painted
wooden boxes, and it did not disturb our
thoughts and talk in regard to one who
loved all common things, and sympa-
thized with the universal far more than
with that which is partial and exclusive
Doubtless it would be more than fitting
chat the ashes of the illustrious dead
should rest beside other great names
under the arches of Westminster Abbey;
but, after all, SO much of solemn fraud
is in the reverence paid to some of these
names, and SO unlike the great human
heart and tenderly sympathetic life Of
George Eliot is the clustered seclusion
and exclusion of the great mausoleum of
England's dead, that it is no matter for
regret that her bones did not find their
way there, but that they lie near those of
one she loved, on the breezy rise of the
gentle upland in the pretty cemetery of
Highgate. Pere la Chaise is called a
city of the dead. Highgate is only a
village, the main street. long avenue,
lined with trees and graves, to each of
which latter little garden is attached,
which is gay with simple flowers, kept
with exquisite order and neatness. There
is an elevation at the upper end crowned
with Norway spruce or pine, and it is
upon the rise of this little hill, upon the
right-hand side going up, that modest
shaft of dark gray marble marks the
spot where George Eliot's body reposes.
Two lines from her own poem form the
legendary inscriptions:

"THE wives and daughters of second
rate Americans are quite as pretty
clever, and accomplished as their sisters
above the line of 'upper-ten-dom. but,
owing to the fact of 'pa's pile being Of
only recent formation, have not had the
advantage of being brought up in Europe
and European ways. Hence, despite
beauty, knowledge, and talent, they lack
the repose and other things which mark
the cast of We're de We're. Their toilets
are aptto be amazing, and their diamonds
to rival an exhibition of lighthouse APP
paratus. Nevertheless they tower over
their husbands, fathers, and brothers,
The latter have been sent into a count
ing house too soon to have acquired
even the varnish of good breeding. They
dress very much like BARRIERS block,
and talk more nonsense than could be
imagined" sit is a little odd that the
Western man, who supplies Presidents
and leading men to the United States
Senate, should not be q success on the
European grand tour. His cleverness lie
undeniable, for he has made superb
fortune, but he is obviously out of his
element in the old Continent. A life
divided between business and home
politics leaves little leisure for cultivatlng
the subjects on which Europeans love ia
dilate. ''-Ednau,sd Yates.

THOMAS TrrLEY, a London chemist, had
been suspected Of selling noXious drugs for
unlawful purposes, but there was no legal
evidence of tho fact. Thereupon the police
proceeded to set a trap for him. One inspec-
tor in tho character of young seducer,
wrote a letter asking for the forbidden drugs.
The chemist hesitating, he was waited upon
by tho pretended seducer in person, accom-
panied by woman, who claimed to be the
mother OF the girl and obtained the medi-
cincs. So far the proof OF sale for an unlaw
ful parpose was complete, and the grand jury
returned true bill against the chemist. But
tho SAME jury returned another bill against
the police and their witnesses for the fraud
and conspiracy of which they had been guilty,
on their own showing. The trials are awaited
with interest, rs they are expected to settle
the amount OF deception detective may law
fully practice in obtaining evidence OF sus-
pected crime.
