Jewess.

From the June Century.
My dark Drowned daughter of the sum-
Dear Bedouin of the desert sands
Sad daughter of the ravishcd lands
OF savage Sinai. Iahylon.-
O Egypt-cyed. thou art t" me
A God -cncompasscd mystery
SEE sad IIagar in thine eyes.
The obrliskS. the pyramids.
Lie. hid beneath thy dropping lids.
The tawny Nile of Moses lies
Portrayed in thy strange people force
And solemn mystery of source.
The black abundance of thy hair
Falls like some sad twilight of June
Above the dying afternoon.
And mourIs thy peoples mute despair.
The large Solcmnity of night.
q Israel is in thy sight
Then come where stars Of freedom spill
Their splrndor, ,IcwcsS. In this land.
The same broad hollow of Gods hand
That held you ever, outholds still.
And whether you be right or may,
IT'S Gods, not Russia's. here to say.
--,joaquin Miller

Disease is an effect. not a cause. Its origin IS
within its manifestations without. Hence, to
cure the disease the cause must be removed and in
no other way can cure ever be effected. WAR
NER's SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is es-
tablished on just this principle. It realizes that
95 PER CENT.
of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys and
liver and it strikes at once at the root Of the diff
iculty The elements of which it is composed act
directly upon these great organs, both as food
and restorer and, by placing them in healthy
condition, drive disease and pain from the system
For the innumerable troubles caused by IN
healty Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; fol-
the distressing Disorders of Women for Malaria
and for physical arrangements generally, this
great remedy, has no equal. Beware of imposters
limitations and connections said to be just good

De Lesse p5' Love S DRY.
[ Lnnaion Echo }

The Pesibef Lloyd says that Ferdinand
de Lesseps has been an Otbello, though
without the miserable ill-luck of Shakes
Dere's swartby hero. Like Othetlo he won
bis present beauti rul wife by the nara
tion Of bis adventures and dangers. III.
de Lesseps is now On the verge of eighty,
but in spite OF his great age be retains the
hopef u1lnesa and freshness of youth.
He has been compared, in this respect, to
Phythagoras, Titan and Alexander Won
Humboldt, and even to these heroes of In
dian legend who enjoy their lives twice
over.
At the age of sixty eight, NJ. de Lesseps
was left widower, and troop of grown
up sons and daughters. Some few years
after it was reported TO the amazemen9
of Tie world that the lively septuagenar-
ian had married a young Creole maiden OF
astonishing beauty, who has since brought
him sig child.en.
In a certain Partisan family, where NJ,
de Lesseos often visited, there was bevy
OF five sisters The old man delighted to
gather them around him, and relate stir
i ing episodes from his travels. One day
while speaking OF lis experience in Pales-
tine, he said that ne had undergone great
Dangers and difficulties amongst the
Arabs. because they could not conceive
bow man could live without wife.
the p,eaiest of the sisters inDocently
asked, why, then, 10 you not marry aga n p
because / am 100 old. replied NJ de :
I.esseps Besides, he added IF were
10 fallin love with young girl, it would
be absurd to think that she would fall in
love with me-"
'sWho kuowsi7 observed his quest;oner.
I.esseps told his Young listeners, about
the Rose OF Jericho, which, after being
dried, and placed in water, again bursts
out into bloom.
Soon a;rerw ard he oh; aimed one of these
loses and presented it to the young girl
In few days she appeared with the re-
blossomed rose in her hand. which she
gave to the honored guest, saying at the
same time
See what miracle the water has upon
the rose; it is the poisoning of love in
old age"
Their eyes met, and M. de Iesseps be
lieying that his Desdemona had meaning
in what she did, quietly said eff you
really think that You dare venture to share
the remaining years OF an old man, here
is my hand
But for his marriage it is very uncer-
tain whether the bold protector would
have undertaken his labolious task OF Pan
anna. She is always at his side. and has
been his chief help and support through
ont bis arduous conflicts with politicians.
