THE OLD MAN MEDITATES. u

Such is the title of Will Carletons
latest poem, published in Harpers
Weekly for April 1st. The old man
is talking to a rosy-cheeked, bright>
eyed granddaughter, just budding
into womanhood, whom he calls
"girl- witch" She has disturbed bim
in his garden reverie. He has been
having an hour to himself,
Catching some thoughts man holds best
alone"
He concludes that he is a "gnarled
and withered tree" and breaks out
talking to his grand daughter about
the world "neaoing SO fast and
changing it's fashion SO often that
old men " find no place wherein to
Fit" He plaintiyely bids farewell to
the old water mill, which has given
way to one of steam, and
talks about the inconvenience of
railroads, gets mixed up in the lingo
of Wall street, worries over reapers
and mowers, and so on, and the
great changes which are taking place
bewildering to him. He concludes,
however, in the end:
But whatsoever changes / can name,
oIrtyoxT ha
And soon or late enacts its noble part,
And that's the grand and glorious human
heart.
Perhaps if turks in wretchedness and slime,
Is dragged by Passion through the waves
of Crime;
Or Incidence around its couch may creep,
And lull it for a season into sleep;
Or selfishness may ravage all about,
Eats its supplies and well-nigh starye it out;
But when it can the body's grossness shed,
The god-like human heart comes out ahead
By this time he is more than rec
onciled, it appears, to what he at
first seemed to think his grand
daughters intrusion, while he was
silently meditating in his seelusion,
and breaks out, addressing her,
No, Maggie, do not 60 away from me,
But turn your eyes round here where 1 can
see;
They show me that there's much that earth
can give,
Designed to coax an old man yet to live.
( The tender, true heart you have always
/ shown,
I In frightening up my dim life with you,
own,
! The way you've treated me-with as mucl
grace,
/ AS if owned three-quarters of this place
While you and all your folks are well aware
My purse is full of poverty to spare
Show, III the sandy shifting of hfe's ways
That Loves first fashion still among Iii
stays;
And that young fellow coming down tbs
lane
VIII help to make my meaning doubly plain

TWO NOTABLES.

The German Empire is noted for
two of the most remarkable men of
the age Emperor William is now
in the seth year of his age, having
celebrated his S5th birthday on the
22nd day of last month. He is yet
hale and vigorous, mentally and
physically, and his twilight of life is
not enc of the conventionally macs
tive sort, usually assigned by ira
dition to rich old men. King VIII
liam has lived long time and his
life has not been an uneyenful one.
1t is full of interesting historical fea
lures. Sixty,eight years ago, he
entered Paris as a subordinate officer
in the victorious German Army, and
again the next year-18l5. His
brother, King Frederic William ",
was overpowered by the revolution in
1S48, and he fed to England He
escaped daring attempt made on
his life in 1849. In 1857, acting in
the name of his mentally weak
brother, he inaugurated "new era
in Russian politics, and four years
later was himself crowned King.
Whatever trouble he may have ex-
perienced in the management of his
own internal affairs, his people be-
came united when war was
declared against Austria, in
1866, and lie returned from the
victorious field of Sadowa, with the
plaudits of his subjects everywhere.
The boldness with which he took up
the gauntlet thrown down to him by
Napoleon III, in 1870, is matter of
such recent history that no detailed
allusion is necessary. He invaded
France, and captured her armies and
her Emperor, had himself
proclaimed Emperor of Uni
ted Germany; reduced the
proud city of Paris, dictated terms
of peace and annexed Alsace-Lor-
raine to his own empire.
But he was ably assisted in all this
by Bismarck, one of the ables,
statesmen of the age, and by Vor
Moltke, whose skill as q military
commander is universally acknowl'
edged. Bismarck still lives. and il
now about sixty seven. He is
capable of an immense amount
Of hard work, and does
it, But he is also capable 0,
relaxation which is more than can be
said of all great men with so much
on their shoulders as Bismarck has
He has a country resting place al
Varzin, where he is wont to retire
lay aside the duties and the digni,
ties of his office, receive his country
guests in good old-fashioned rura
way, free from the cares and
vexations imposed by society
in large city. Here, with
his dogs and guns: and his
huge pipe, he stops the tired ma.

Seldom has a deeper sorrow pere
vaded the English speaking world of
both hemispheres than in the recent
death of our laureate, Longfellow.
He was Americas pride and glory,
and the most universally beloved and
popular poet our country has ever
produced. He. was our national
freside bard, singing at every
hearthstone the common joys and
wants and SORROWS and loves Of
humanity. You would find more
copies of Longfellow's poems in the
homes of the land than of any other
poet living or dead. The hearts and
memories of the people are filled
with bis melodies, which have been
sung into them from childhood.
And what is true Of America is equal
ly true of Great Britain. Not Ten
nyson himself is SO widely read in
England as our beloved laureate As
for US, so for our British brothers
and sisters across the waters, his
poems have had charm and ten
derness which have winged their
strains into all their hearts, and con
secrated their author as favorite in
all their homes. In the
death of Losgfellow every
man and woman and lit
tie child has lost a per-
sonal friend and sympathizer, and
nearly every one has felt a grief
kindred to that one feels when one
of the immediate family has passed
away, for no singer ever came SO
near to us all, in our every mood OF
thought and feeling, as he.
The secret of Longfellow's posses
sion of the homes and hearts of the
people is not far to find. He was
not majestic and austere like Milton,
nor philosophical like Wordsworth
and Tennyson, nor local and aristo-
cratic like Scott, nor passionate and
intense like Moore and Byron, MOI
sub tie like Emerson, nor poet Of ma
ture and freedom like Bryant and
Whittier But what Burns was to
Scotland that Longfellow has been
for nearly a half century to Americs
the peoples poet-forever voicing
their most varied, earnest, deep and
tender thoughts and things. His
muse touched life at every point, and
had fit and helpful word for every
heart experience of man or woman.
! Fondly he loved little children, and
hey gathered about him in clusters,
in his home and on the street. and
he played and romped with them
like boy, and sang in
many ballad of their joys and
! trials. With what veneration and
pathos has he sung of innocent and
| prattling infancy.
He was the friend noble and true
of every young man, and entered
into their struggles and ambitions
with fathers interest and sympa-
thy. How beautifully he has, il
many poetic picture, portrayed and
glorifed old age. AS he had agar
and again suffered in terrible domes
tic affection, SO, mot ignorant O
VICE. he sang in many Christian
