Within a castle of Bretague

And hard the fight between deaths gloom
And LIES iLcOnstant ray.
And 'IsoLTr' still his heart would call,
Though silent were his lips;
lie saw the shores of distant AL,
And fleets OF white-winged ships.
He saw the fields of waving last,
phat crowned the smiling land;
And fair Queen Isolt standing there,
With peoples in her hand.
He saw her in her garden bower,
Within seconds shade;
Where on IKE harp, AT evening hour,
He, in the moonlight, played.
o fora touch of Isolts hand
Upon his burning brow,
o but 10 see fair IsOlt stand
a moment near him nowl
At his command a barque had sped,
Across the Summer Sea,
To bear Queen lsolt from her lord,
To distant Brittany.
Even as he felt the awful strife
Within him flag and fail,
The sighted lady, TriStrem's wife,
Arose, and cried, "A sail!'
a sail-a saili-Our lady's grace
Dame, Is IL fair and whiteF
"'Tis blaeker than the ravens wing,
Or sable pail OF night!
No word, he spOke:-an instant gazed
Back sank his golden head;
The braveSt champion of the world,
Was lying still and dead,
Close drew the barque to land, its sails,
White as the drifted snow:
The setting sun upon their shroudS,
Had shed a golden glow.
And when she reached her loyal knight,
Down kneeling at his side.
Upon his breast the lady bright.
Bowed her fair head and died.
Within their graves they laid the pair,
And in the Summer sun,
Two rose trees springing, sweet and fair,
Went twining into one.

They appointed to meet in the parlOr,
When all OF the guests were asleep;
And they parted with sweet prOtestations
That each the appointment would keep.
They were punctual, just to a second;
Their greeting was soft as a breath;
And they sat on a lounge in that parlor,
Where all was as silent as DEATH
And they spooned in that fashion peculiar
To verdancy under loves charm:
She resting her head on his shoulder,
He circling her waist with his arm.
Soon their eyes TO the dark grew accustomed,
And then they in terror took wing;
For they saw in that parlor four others
Engaged in the very same thing.

A story of IngratItude.

Neto York Letter In the SuRdav Oregonfan.
The building itself is on the site Of the old
Washington Hotel. This hotel. by the way.
was built on the ground once occupied bv the
mansion OF Nathaniel Prime, the jay Gould
Of nifty years ago. 10 may nc added. Daren-
thetically, this same banker, Prime, once.
when q poor young man, went to a Southern
planter on n visit at The time to New York.
and asked for a loan OF $4,000.
"What security can you giye'" asked the
"The word of an honest man." answered
Prime.
The planter eyed him for an instant, and
then replied: You shall have IT,"
This sum gave Nathaniel Prime his start in
life and he soon paid the debt. Years rolled
on and he became the leading banker OF the
city. One day the planter, who had befriended
him Mt the outset ~ his career, came to him
In poverty and asked him for the loan OF the
same sum that he had lent Prime 20 oppor-
timely. The banker remembered him well,
but asked:
"what security can You giveg"

planter, eehoiug Primes own words of years
before.
THAT won't do in Wall street," was the
bankers reply.
The planter seemed dazed by such an an q.
swer and left without word. The man who
was capable Of such ingratitudc had become o
miaer, monomaniac on the subject OF money,
and In his old age, becoming insane in the
midst OF wealth over the thought that he
might by some possibility die poor, committed
suicide By cutting his throat la his mansion

Our Onnrnntine Station.

The important report of the Health
Officer of the port relative to the quaran-
tine station, which was sent to the City
Council Wednesday night, will receive
the attention doubtless to which it is en-
titled.
From this report ii is evident that the
present station will become useless by
the end of the present year. The work
for the improvement of the river that is
now being done is certain to cause such
a shoaling at the station that vessels will
be unable to land there.
The reason why the City Council ought
to act upon the Health Officers report at
once is that there ought not to be much
delay in selecting a site for new station.
The new station ought to be ready for use
by next summer. The site which may be
selected may require great deal of work
to be done upon it, and in that case ii
cannot be selected too soon.
There Is no use, of course, IN waiting
to see if Congress will reimburse the city
for the destruction Of its property. The
city Will get, probably, the value of the
property destroyed, but II will not get il
in time to apply it to the building OF a new
station. No appropriation to recompense
! the city for its loss will likely be made
| for year or more after the destruction OF
the present station. As the city must
| have a station, the Council might as we'll
undertake the work Of constructing one az

VII VIC 4|IFVFtIt
A young lady at party at lexington the
other night gave the following advice to a
young man in reference TO the use of big
words; In promulgating your esoteric cOgta-
uohs, or artlculating Your superficial senti-
mentalitles, and philosophical, psychological
observations, beware of platitudinOus ponder
osity. Let your conversational communica-
tons possess rarifed conciseness, a compact
comprehenslbleness, a coalescent consistency
ana concatenated cogencY. Eschew all
jejune babblements. Let your extemporane-
Gus descantings and unprecedented eXpatia-
lions have lntelligibifty, psittaceous bacnity,
Ventriloquial verbOsity, and vaniloquent
rapddity Shun double entendres, pestlferous
prof nifty, Obscursnt or apparent, In other
words, talk plainly, briefly, naturally, sensi-
bly, truthfully, purely. Say what you mean,
mean what You say, and DON'T use big words.

The Republican papers insist that the
administration has determined to change
its policy with respect TO the Offices, and
that the Republican officials will, very
generally, be removed or suspended after
June 80, the end of the present fiscal
year.
OF course this is mere speculation.
There is no reason why the Republican
papers should be better informed than the
Democratic papers respecting the pur-
poses of the administration. The only
thing that has occurred lately that indi-
Gates a change of policy is the Villas con-
fidential circular, and that had reference
only to the minor post offices. The cir
cular only suggests way Of doing what
had already been determined upon.
The fact is, good many more Republic
cans have been suspended, and the va
cancies, thus created, filled with Demo-
Gratis, than the public is aware Of 1t
must not be overlooked that the number
Of officials is very large, and that if the
President were to give his whole time to
the office seekers he could hardly make re-
movals and ill the vacancies fast enough
to give entire satisfaction.
1t is doubtful if the President has
changed his purpose in the least with re-
spect to the offices. He may not remove
those who do not come within the jurs-
dietion OF the civil service law as fast as
those who want the offices would like,
but he is removing them about as fast as
he thinks he can, and at the same time
do what he believes the best interests of
his party require.
The President isn't the sort Of a man to
be driven into doing anything, but the
best men of the party appear to be sat
isded that he will do what is best for the
party of his own accord. IT, therefore.
changes should be made more rapidly in
the offices in the next few months it will
not be because the President has been
forced to change his policy, but because
he is better able to carry out his original
policy.

From the CzeyeZaad Leader.

"PPople have little idea Of the tenderness OF
President Jackson's heart" continued Gen.
Brmkerhoff. "Even on his deathbed, when
his body was racked with the pains OF fact
approaching dissolution. his kindness of heart
was shown in nearly every act, one of his
daughters stories well illustrating this. Mrs.
Jackson, Jr., had some rare and tropical
plants which she priced very highly, and
tended with great deal of care. But few
days before he died. when he knew his end
was near, Gen. jackson called his adopted
son Andrew to his bedside. and pointing tC
the plants which were standing on the front
veranda, said: Andrew, l can't live but a
few days. and when my funeral tNkes place
there will doubtless be a great many people
here. Unless Won take some way to protect
those plants they will be broken off or de-
stroyed or taken away. Now Sarah is very
proud of them, and l think that when that
lime comes you should have those plants car
ried to the upper veranda, and lock the win

This conversation hints at an important
fact which all women in San Francisco well
know. The women and the men. too. of
course, who live on the billy side OF town have
calves shaped entirely unlike the calves of
those who live on the Aats. II results from 81
cause which every man who has paid much
attention 10 physical training understands.
Hill climbing develops the muscles on the
sides and upper portion Of the calves, which
level walking never exercises, and which
consequently never develop.
