The Atlantic for May contains the last poem
which Mr.. Longfellow wrote, the revised proof

asks:
Why dost thou wildly rush and roar,
Mad River o Mad River?
Wilt thou not pause and cease to pour
Thy hurrying headlopg waters Ger
This rocky shelf forever?
What secret trouble stirs thy breast?
Why all this fret and furry?
Dost thou not know that what is best
In this too restless world s rest
From over-work and worry?
The rivers answer is thus expressed:
A brooklet nameless and unknown
Was at first, resembling
A little child, that all alone
Comes venturing down the stairs Of stone,
Irresolute and trembling.
Later, by hayward fancies led,
For the wide world panied
Out Of the forest dark and dread
Across the open fields fed
Like one pursued and haunted.

With thunder from the passing cloud,

Yet something ever cheers and charms
The rudeness of my labcrs;

And have the birds for neighbors.

There is a true love, and yet you may
Have lingering doubts about it;
I'll tell the truth. and simply say
That life's blank without it,
There is a love both true and strong.
\ love that faters never:
1t lives on faith and suffers wrong,
But lives and loves forever.
Such love is found but once on earth
The heart cannot repel it;
From whence it comes or why its BIRTH
The tongue may never tell it.
This love is mine, in spite of all.
This love | fondlv cherish;
The earth may sink, the skies may fall,
This love will never perish.
1t il a love that cannot die.
But. like the soul immortal.

And passes through the portal.
This is the love that comes to stay
Al other loves are tleeting:
And when they come Just turn away

The Wild Flowers of Montana.

The wild flowers of Montana are as
abundant as those Of the Alps, and more
varied. Choicest Of them all, because most
delicate and fragrant, is white, star
shaped, WaX-like blossom which grows
very close to the ground, and the large
golden stamens of which give out an odor
like mingled hyacinth and lily of the val
ley. The people call 1t the mountain lilly.
There is another lily, however, and a real
one-yellow with purple stamens-that
grows on high slopes in shaded places.
The yellow towering currant abOunds on
the lower levels, and the streams are Of
ten bordered with thickets of wild-rose
bushes. Dandelions abound, but do not
open in full, rounded perfection. The
common blue larkspur however, is as
well developed as in our eastern gardens,
and the little yellow violet which in the
States haunts the woods and cOpses is at
home in Montana, alike in the moist val
leys and upon the bleak, dry hill sides.
Small sunt1owers are plentiful, the blue
bell Is equally abundant in valleys and on
mountain ridges, and in early June there
blooms a unique flower called the shoot
ing star, shaped like shuttlecock. There
are dozen other pretty flowers, but |

With several other gentlemen, upon

to assist in entertaining the callers.

pies against the use of spirituous
drinks, fer he had wine to offer. The
wine was poured out and would have
been drank, but the young lady ask
cd:

The wine glasses were set down with

party exclaimed, "That is the most

The Prosecutions Test SfRespOnsl
billy. IEs

The prosecution yesterday presented
the law points which they will request
the Court to embody In It's charge tO the
Jury as constituting the legal test by
which the question Of Gulteau's respon-
sibIiity Is TO be determined. They ask
Judge Cox to charge, first, that the teal
OF responsibility is whether Guiteau
knew the difference between right pnd
wrong with respect 10 the act when be
committed 1t and knew that 1t Was con-
trary to the law Of the land; second that
the belief, even If it existed, that he was
acting for the public good or Obeying a
Divine command is no ,detencei and,
third, that even II his free agency was
destroyed by an irresistible impulse that
fact does not exempt him from legal res
possibility, provided he knew thai what
he was doing was wrong and unlawful.
No delusion or fixed belief, the prosecu-
ton claim, can exempt from response
bIlIty unless 1t be an insane deiusiOn,
which is the result of disease and which
deprives the victim of the power TO dis
tinguish between right and wrong. judi
ged by the above test there can be but
enc conclusion as to Guiteau's RESPONSE
bility. Aud yet the counsel for the
prosecution have not gone 70 any ex-
IRENE in their demands. They could
not ask less. They simply request the
Court TO adopt the test Of responsibility
which is now most generally recognized
and which prevails in most OF our States
as we'll as In England. The defence
will doubtless request the Court to in
struct the jury that if Guitean's free
agency was destroyed by "DivIne pres
cure" he is not responsible. Bot they
will be able to cite very few authorities
10 support of this rule. II this request
be denied they will probably ask that
the question Of responsibility be left
wholly to the jury without any restric
tionS as to recognized legal tests. Thil
course has been followed in . few Of oni
States, but ithas not met with genera
recognition.-Heratd. 0
