A German Legend.

seven sisters fair - tS
With the violet eyes of Deutschland and the
lustrous yellow hair.
Who were wooed by German suffers h,- tho
dozen and the score. ~
But tho loved the seven Princes from the
far-of English shore.
I'LL one night when stars of silver studded ala
the blue oerhead.
With the seven English brothers these Tett-
tome maidens fed
Swiftly fed across the Rhineland climbed ths,
summit of the Hartz,
Little dreaming they were followed by the
subtlest fairy arts.
FOR the Tilted German suitorS, yowing ven1e-
ance fast and free.
SWore to claim the recreant fair ones ere they
reached the English sea
so, when all the stars of silver kissed adieu the
golden day.
At the feet of seven maidens seven ghastly
On the ground their fair locks streaming. and
their lips were " hite and cold.
While pursuing DER the mountains came the
German lovers bold.
Seized each fond lamenting sister crying
nercely Thou art minel"
and with loud. triumphant laughter fastened
backward TO the Rhine;
Bore them to the ancient stronghold. 10 the
castle firm and gray.
Of the cruel King. their father guarded well
by night aud day.
But no bolts nor bars eould hold them. for
they soon were free again
An. the wilfullnesS of woman puzzles Oft the
wiSeSf men
And with wings which love had lent them. TO
the far-oh mountain sped.
There TO seek their English lovers; there to
mourn their English dead
But. Oh cruel art OF magic, art that heeds not
womap's tears.
In the cold mists of the morning what is this
that mocks their fearss
here they left their sweethearts lying, seven
mountain peaks arise.
Each with stony heads of granite deaf 10 al
their prayers and sghs.
Should you ever in your wand rings climb that
far-on German mountain.
You may see the Seven Brothers and by
each tiny fountain:
And the legends tell the story that has drifted
down the years.
How the seven loving sisters came each morn
with bitter tears
To bewail their fair lost lovers till they wept
themselves away.
Each became a ripping fountain-moaning
sighing there to-day.

WHILE WE MAY.

The hands are such dear hands;
They are so fall; they turn at eur demands
So often they reach out,
With trihes scarcely thought about,
So many times, they do
80 many things for me, for yOu-
II their fond wills mistake,
We may well bend, not break.
They are such fond, frail lips
That speak to u. Pray if love strips
Them OF discretion many times.
Or if they speak too slow or quick such
crimes
We NAV pass by for we may see
Days not far off when those words may be
Held not as slow, or quick, or out OF place,
bat dear.
Because the lips are no more here.
They are such dear: familiar feet that go
Along thepath with rs-feet fast or slow,
And trying to keep pace-if they mistake
Or tread upon some flower that We would
take
Upon cur breast, or bruise some reed,
Or crush poor Hope until it bleed,
We may be mute:
Not turning quickly to impute
Grave fault; for they and We
Have such little way 10 go-ean be
Together such little while along the way,
We will be patient while We may.
So many little faults we fnd.
We see them for not blind
Is Love. We see them; but if you and
Perhaps remem Der them some BY and by
They will not be
Faults then-grave faults-to you and me-
But just odd wavs-mistakes or even less
Remembrance to bless.
DAYS chansge so many things-yes, hours
We see so differently in suns and showers,
Mistaken words 10 night
May be so cherished by to-morrow's light.
We may be patient Tor We know
There's such little way to 60.

How Proof Reading Sounds.

Some writer has produced poem
called Sounds from the Sanctum." 1t
reads just too pretty, and gives rise to
the thought that the author never visit
ed the sanetum when business was in
full blast. If he had called about mid
night, for instance, he would have seen
two saints, one poring over a proof slip,
the other holding the copy, and the
words would have been something like
this:
Proof Reader-"As flowers without
sunshine fair comma-without you
comma-do full stop-breathe dark
and dismal mair-."
Copy Holder-"Thunderl not mair-
air"
Proof Reader-sI breathe dark and
dismal air-comma-of fiowers-comma.
Copy Holder-Shoot the comma"
Proof Reader-'"Tis done. As bowers
without the sunshine fair-semicolon-
coufound slug seven, he never justifies
his lines-No joy in life-comma-no
worms"
Copy Holder-"Warmth."
Proof Reader-''No warmth / share
comma-and health and vigorous flies
Copy Holder Blazesl Health and
vigor fly"
Proof Reader Health and vigor fly
full stop"
That's about the sound of it wher
poetry is on deck.

The Campo Santo, or Cemcrery, ol
Genoa.

Genoa.
The Campo Sauto IS about a mile and
a half from the city, and Is built IN the
form of vast square court, with the
tombs of the rich in raised galleries on
the four sides, and the graves Of the
poor in the fiat ground in the middle.
All the gall leries are built OF white mar
BILE, with roofs and long lines OF pillars;
and the tombs are generally placed
along the inner side of the galleries,
and the greater part of them are sur
| mounted by groups OF life-size statuary.
| 1t is these statues, all OF them the work
of famous modern Italian sculptors,
which give to the place its queer and
/ peculiar character Many of the
groups consist not only of statues of
the persons buried in the tOmbs, but
! life-like figures of the surviving rela-
tives dressed in modern clothes. In
one place you viii ee father on his
| death-bed. his wife, dressed in the
fashion Of the present day, sitting by
| his side, while his son, young man
/ in double-breasted sack coat and striped
| trousers, and a daughter, with a polo
naise' and pleated skirt, stand at the
| foot of the couch. These figures are
/ 50 well done that they almost seem
| to be alive; and as the members
| o the family come year after year to
| the cemetery they must be content
| to see the clothes they were sculptured
| in getting more and more old-fashioned.
| Some of the designs are fine and artist
/ ic. although to our ideas very strange.
In one part of the grounds we per-
/ eeive young lady richly attired in a
| dress with a long train trimmed with
| a double row of ruIfies and lace. and
wearing cape edged with scalloped
lace. kneeling at the foot of her father S
| to ], b. while grand and beautiful tig-
ure of Christ rises out OF some clouds
! Just in front of her. and with one hand
| over the recumbeut statue of her dead
/ father. and one over her head, offers
| her consolation. In another place
| there is a group Of two sisters, who are
kneeling BY the door of the tomb of a
third sister; the door Of the tomb is
partly open, and the buried sister, in
/ company with an angel who holds her
by the hand, has just come out of it,
! and is rising toward the sky: as these
! figures are iife-size, the effect is very
striking Close to this tomb is one
| which is planned upon an entirely
different idea; large old angel with a
long beard and very grim aud severe
| countenance is sitting solemnly upon a
closed tomb. His expression gives one
| the idea that he has looked around up
on the young lady who has been hber-
atsd by the angel. and that he has said
to himself: .'The person in the tomb
on which am sitting need not expect to
get out until the proper time comes.
| There is no doubt that these groups are
/ considered very appropriate monuments
4 to deceased friends and relatives by
those who have pl ced them there, but
some of them cannot fail to strike
Americans as strange and odd.-Frdnk

following testimonies were made; Mr..

years. During that time have been a
heavy drinker Ny home has been
broken up several times, and have been
wanderer in nearly every country of
the world. / was sent here by friends
from Canada, and when ! entered this
Home / gave myself up entirely and
freely, soul and body" Mr.-gaye a
very affecting testimony. He said that
he had drank and sold liquor and had got
as low as anyone could-so low that his
wife and child were obliged TO leave
him, and he was an outcast until he
came to this Home Last Monday he
prayed that his wife might come and
speak one word to him. A friend ac-
quainted her with his being here. "On
last Tuesday evening"" said ne, during
our services, | heard the cry of little

child and tell me If that was not an
answer TO prayer? He was happy and
at peace, and wished to live the Chris
tian life as long as he was spared. This
was most earnest testimony.
