THE CROWNED EMPEROR,

The lights are out, the music Is hushed,
the tinsel has lost its brightness, the glitter
Of swords and the tread Of armed men have
ceased in Moscow; amid pomp and re DelGas,
amid the prowiiog OF spies and tae vigil aDce
% police, the Emperor Of all the Russiss b as
been crowned. To the calls OF mis- people be
has paid no heed, the weight of despo,ic
power is not lesssred, the coarse harshness Of
despotism has in no degree slackened its
baleful grasp. The newly crowned monarch
followed in the footsteps OF the young king
who declared TO his people: "My father
loaded you with heavy yoke, will add to
your yoke. My father chsstised you with
whips, but L will chastise you with scor-
pions." The brave people answered with the
ry:"To your tents, o Israel" What will the
Russians do? Will they b.ar the yoke and
submit to the chastisiDg? Will the men
that have devoted their life to the deliver
ance Of their country, and the women who
have exposed Themselves to the knout, the
dungeon, and 10 exile for Russia, have no
answer for him who denies justice, re-trains
freedom, and perpetuAtes tyranny No,
they will not keep silent. Opportunity law
fully and openly 10 state their wishes and
plead their cause is denied them, complaint
is treason, and tire 1son brings the prisoners
chain and the executioner's az. Driven to
secrecy and darkness, these devoted but sadly
mistaken patriots will again hurl in secret
and from darkness the bolt whose stroke is
death. The Nihilists state tina when, at the
coronation, all the spies and forces OF the
nation were on guard, was rot the time for
them TO strike, but that some day, when all
appears safe, when suspicion has subsid ID,
when caution is relaxed, then will be their op.
then they will do deed that sh all
arouse all Russia and thrill the whole civil
ized world. And the Emperor knows this;
he knows that emissaries Of death are In his
own palace; he knows that he is doomed by
men unconscious of fear and who have sworn
his destruction. Might, and grandeur, and
all the paraphernslia of regal state, are
around him; but nowhere is he safe. The
choice viands are tssteless, the wine-cup is
filled with bitterness, sleep is haunted with
portentous dreams; Emperor he il, but all
his power and all his greatness will not bring
him safely. Ever-hsunting danger kills all
Joy; everywhere there ia threat; every day
turks violence and death.

The announcement, says the Cincinnati

probably realize 100000 on his forthcoming

his friends, is nightly deceived rs to the
profits OF authorship. Thomas II. Benton

there was in store for unemployed statesmen
whose over-full brains must find vent, and IL

SEE APART.

A woman's heart, rich, rare place,
Each nook and corner filled with grace.
Rooms and galleries and pictured walls,
With radiant light in its pillar'd halls;
Music, Laughter and changing grace
Made IL echo with joy in every place.
The voice OF its owner, proud and clear,
Came full and strong on the istning ear.
One room one only, was set apart,
Like q haunted place in this busy heart
Silent, not haunted, no eager eye
Had ever been able within TO pry.
No light cleaned evernor crevice showed
That fire or lAmplight ever glowed,
In the silence profound of that lonely room,
Shut from laughter and sealed in gloom.
Sometimes in the darkness, the woman cTept
Silently in, while all jewellers slept
Looked imidly round the sacred place,
With wistful smile on her patient face.
Ihen softly murmured, Dumb, still dumb,
Will the guest TO my chamber never conner
Oh, never on earth has place so sweet

That can open this sacred retreat OF mine,
But know dweller will come at last,
Ere my life be done, and my hope be past;
But never can tell If my guest will wear
His golden brown, or his silver hair;
Or, If its dweller shall bravely come
With plaudits loud and echoing drum,

With a broken sword, and dented shield

The angels have set on his soul and mine,

Before they laid il IN its resting place,
Aud deem that death had left 1t almost fair;
And laying snow-white flowers against my hair,

Ana fold my hands with lingering caress,
Poor hands, so empty and so cold tonight

Some kindly deed The icy hand had wrought,

And SO should he loved and mourhed tonight

Recalling other days remOrsefully,

Would look upon me as Of yore pcrchance,

For who could war with dumb, unconscious clay :
