A Possibility Of the Future.

On more than one occasion during the
last three thousand years the barbaric
hordes of the east have overlooked their
boundaries and have swept westward,
overwhelming the young civilization OF
Europe and obliteratipg nearly all the
landmarks OF western art and progress;
and at the present time. if we may credit
the Pekin correspondent OF one OF the
Calcutta papers, there is in China pow
erful aud rapidly growing party that I'D.
vocates the making of yet another gigan-
tic excursion toward the land of the set
ting sun. The Celestial Empire is. no
doubt, immensely overpopulated, and
will probably ere long seek some new
outlet for her surplus citizens; but it is
difficult to believe that she will attempt,
save by peaceful means, to obtain the
desired result. The great unknown
country has been quiercent for so long
that it is almost impossible for q Euro.
pean to contemplate that the sleeping
myriads should ever again put forth
their herculean strength. Yet, if China
we're to awake; if she were to look west
ward with covetous glance, and were
once more to burst her bounds. in re-
Spouse to that mysterious impulse which
in the east occasionally seizes upon
whole people, how could she be resisted?
According to the last edition of the
Bevolkerung der Erde, she has popu-
lation of 434, 600, 900; and, supposing
that estimate-for it is only an estimate
to be even approximately correct,
China could put into the field more sol
diers than there are souls in Germany;
and if she so willed, could, with host
OF eighty millions, trample all the civil
zation Of Europe beneath her feet.-St.
James Gazette.

Whv could guess that that slumbering brow ever

A fiown that Ia crafty and deep7
Yet 't's here in the blast of the hurricanes breath
That the sou-laden ships find doom;
To the musical moan of this circle of death
Do they PASS TO their fathomless tomb.

Age in its gloom,
Mother and father the maid and her mate.
Master and slave
Finding grave
In this mad, magic circle, the whirlpool OF fate
In the heart o the city, in turmoil and din,
The whirlpool doth fearletsly ride;
In the mercitess torrent are virtue and sin,
The parson and thief side by side:
Here the hand of tae peasant Is gripped by the
glove
OF the gallant who lives but to lie.
And the maiden to-day who Is learning to love.
On the morrow has learnt how to die!
Vice with its paint,
Crime with It's faint:
Cradle and coffin, the lowly and great:
Dillows of blood

SAObelOH's Sister.

The belle of the ball after the Empress
was certainly the Countess De Beauhar-

not an absolute beauty, but one Of those
big-eyed, dark-haired, attractive faces,
With marvellous figure, for whom men
commit follies and women invent scan
dial. This lady was dressed in u Russian
dress, the cut of which dates from early
in the sixteenth century. 1t was low off
the shoulders, with long, hanging
sleeves, plated to to the elbow, with a
pointed stomacher, and skirt opening be
meath over the under petticoat. The
fabric, heavily brocaded and embroi-
dered, looked like chased metal, AS its
long tram fell around her feet in singu-
lar folds. Her kakoschnik was festooned
with pearls, diamonds and huge round
emeralds; while round the entire corsage
pearls and emerald medalions set off her
pretty shoulders to perfection. A sim
pie veil of tulle was fastened with gold
plaques behind the tiara. Other cos
tunes were equally attractive without
being so perfect in ensemble. White

cade over cloth of silver, embroidered in
