the Consul Generalship in Egypt.
For some time past he has been as
piring for the Belgium mission OF
some other position in the diplomatic

was not given the Belgium mission Is

tant consulate. The compensation is
$4,000 and fees. G.. P. Pomeroy, OF
New Jersey, is the present imcum
bent. Cairo is the modern capital of
Egypt. Her population isabout $780,
900 inhabitants. consisting of natives,
Nubians, Franks, Jews and several
other nationalities, including about
1000 Europeans. The city, as every
one knows, Is on the banks of the
Nile and about the center of the State.
1t is noted for its mosques and pict-
uresque architecture and varied and
wonderful scenery. Among the many
curiosities are the tombs of the Ca
liphs. The climate is mild and the
fruits of the tropics grow in abun-
dance. Its commerce is extensive and
growing. From health standpoint
it is rated lower than any European
city owing chiefly to the concentra-
ton of filth among the innumerable
abodes of the pauper classes which
are legion. Historically this city has
few equals for the literateur and seek

For THE HERALD.
THE OLD WILLOW GROVE.

4
How dear to this heart are the scenes Of
my childhood,
Brought back to memory by visions Of
loye;
The old trussle bridge and the mill that
stood by it,
But none more loved than the old
Willow Grove.
How oft when child from ten to eleven,
wandered at will in this beautiful
place,
Played in the sand and plucked the wild
flowers,
Then gathered pebbles from Swartz g
old race.
My brothers-God bless them-are far
from me now,
From the home of their childhood and
scenes that they love,
In the far distant West they oft talk
with pleasure,
OF their boyhood games in the old Will
low Grove.
How oft with my sisters sat in the
Grove,
And watched the great wheel in the
old mill 60 round,
And plucked from the trees that shaded
the water,
Some green willow branches to weave
them crown.
Many times have rambled round Show
er's factory
And sat on the rock by the old Boiling
Spring,
Took the iron ladle and drank from the
fountain,
A beverage SO pure twas fit for king.
There is an old legend attached to this
water
They say it's possessed of a magical
charm,
Go drink of the fountain then rove the
world over
But to old Martinsburg you're sure to
return.
Yes, Isee from the porch one old tree still
standing,
Just down the hill by Showers barn,
o! please let it stand, ask as favor
Protect that old willow and shield it
from harm.
1t reminds me of the days long passed
away,
OF my girlhood IS joys, hopes and loves !;
OF dear friends that have gone and left
me forever,
Yes, gone like the willows in the old
Willow Grove.
