Emperor Williams Great Age.


No Sovereign Known TO Have Sat on Throne at
His Age,
Long reigns are rare in history, long
royal lives much rarer still Princes oc-
cupy one of the lower levels in the whole
range of longevity. The air of courts
is destructive of health, nerve and vigor.
Lives which early corruption, luxurious
and eil'eminate habits, unchecked pas
sionS and unceasing excitement do not
undermine, are frequently shortened by
consuming ambition or care, warlike
toll and peril or the murderous hand of
conspiracy. Among the remarkably
long reigns in history are those of Uz-
ziah of Judah (52 years., Mithridates
Of Pontus (5O, Sapor III. of Persia an,
Alfonso |. of Portugal (73), Frederick
Ill. of Germany (52), Christian ". Of
Denmark (60). Louis XIV of France
(72), George III. of England (59), Fcrl-
inand ". of Naples (65), and Pedro H.
of Brazil (j1 till now.) But Uzziab was
fbry"GTpst hN ,YheeRd be- how Sono, ou .m'
born babe, Alfonso an infant, Christian
II years old, Louis 4, Ferdinand 0, and
Pedro D. and of all the monarchs men,
toned only George III. reached the ace
of four score. Poland had one king
who reached the age of SO, Stanislas
LeSzczynSki; but he reigned only five
years, and survived his throne tifty-six
years, living in quiet retirement. We
must 60 back to the DAYS of antiquity to
find William Is royal peers in age, and
the onl Y ones we discover are Hero III.
OF Syracuse. and Massinissa of Numida,
both of whom ended their reign at the
age Of about 90. The reign of Raineses
H., Pharaoh of Egypt-the Sesostris OF
the Greeks-is believed by some Egypt
ologists TO have lasted about sixtv-seven
years, and his life about 100, but others
reduce both his reign and his days to
normal proportions. Thus, no Empe-
Tor known TO history, no reignng King
in ChristendOm, ever reached the age of
William |. Our age boasts of this ex-
traordinary royal life. as it does of the
only Pontilicate, that Of Plus TX. which
exceeded the term of st. Peter. And
Berlin, which still often sees its Empe-
ror King on horseback, also saw in 1859
Alexander Won Humboldt give the last
touches to his "Kosmos" in his Goth
year; Raumer in 1873 ofiiciate as pro-
fessor in his 92d; Field Marshal Wran-
gel, in 1877, walk its streets in his oath,
and Ranke, in 1881, issue the first part
OF universal history, intended to en-
brace eighteen volumes, in his S6th.--

The Heart s Choice.
BY HENRY A. LAVELY.

A painter quickly seized his brush
And on the canvas wrought
The sweetest 7ave az his soul
A minstrel gently struck his lyre,
And wOudrcus notes heard
Which burned and thrilled and so0thed BY turr
And all my being stirred.
A singer sang a simple song
The echo OF his soul:
II yihrates still through all my life
And lifts me 10 itsg goal.
A poet took his pen and wrote
line OF hope and love,
II was q heaven-bOrn though: and breSthed
or purest joys above.
A man Of God what time INV heart
Was weighed with sorrow down,
spoke golden words Of faith and trust
And they became my crown.
! see the painters picture still.
hear the minstrel's Tyre.
The singers song, the poets thought
Still glow with sacred fire.
But in my hearts most hallowed realm
The goo mans words do live,
And thro Gb my life perfume breathe
That nought Of earth can give.

Strengthening Elephants.

Here is true elephant story for you
from an American missionary, who once
lived among the Dutch Beers Of Natal
for seven years. He saw the ivory, and
believes the story: One afternoon, about
four o clock, three Dutchmen were out
hunting, and came upon large herd of
elephants, They fired at the leader, and
instantly the entire herd fled. The lead
err rushed on and on, thinking he was
on the right track to escape; but the
elephants were in Il valley and only ran
round and round it, in circle perhaps
three hundred yards in diameter, and
were shot down from four o clock in the
afternoon until eight in the evening,
when darkness prevented the Dutchmen
from taking aim any longer. But the
three men rose at break of day, and
found the poor elephants still going
round and round twas several hours
before a new leader, breaking out of the
beaten track, led off the remainder Of
the herd in safety. The Dutchmen,
two being brothers, counted the slain.
Ninety elephants lay dead in the valley,
and as their valuable tusks of ivory were
divided equally among the three Dutch
men, you can believe that each man 8
share was considerable.
