THE EMPRESS CARLOTTA.

Every now and then the world loses
sight of those who once played part IN
history, but who are consigned to obllv-
ion when once that part has been iul-
filled. So has it been with the EN-
press Carlotta of Mexico, whose name at
this moment comes again to the surface
among the news from Brussels, which
once more brings hope of her gradual
return to reason. From various sources
we learn that the Empress had made I'M
mense progress toward this desired end
during the past year. She had gataed
the calm and peace of mind her medical
attendants had been sc long waiting Tor
with great desire, but faint hope. The
threatened embonpoint they 50 much
dreaded has suddenly stopped in It's de
velopment, and her Majesty still reTalhS
her activity. The once raven bar has,
however, turned white, and the tresh
color in her cheeks disappeared. She
has taken a violent passion for music,
and will play for many hours each cay
upon the piano on which she took her
lessons when girl-the same pieces Gy

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Perfection is attained nv slow de.
grees; she requires the hand Of time.
Man is so constituted that even q
smile or word of frienily recognition
enables him to Dear up under the most
grievous burdens.
There is that which seems to exhalt o
man when it is debasing him, and there
is that which seems to debase him when
it ia exhalting him.
Our progress as q race is like that oil
a man who had lived through all gener-
aticns p:ofiting by his own experience
and that of his fellows.
The secret of cheerful life is not
planning to escape sorrow, which can
not be; Int nerviug the heart to meet
sorrow, and smite victory out of its un-
willing hands.
A slender acquaintance with the world
must Convince every man that actions,
not words, are the true criterion of the
attachment of friends; and that the
most liberal professions of good will are
very far from being the surest marks of
it.
Infinite toll would not enable you to
sweep away mist. but by ascending
little you may often overlook it alto.

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con.
suit the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fest trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to Insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change of cars to Iowa,
F.,usss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
s.c. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Iis
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to tie saving of much of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
eesiag better from one of the B. L O.
