The recent death of Col. Vandevelde is a
great misfortune for the poor distraught En-
press CArlotta of Mexico, who has been I'M
der his care for many years at the Chateau de
Bouchout. The Empress was greatly attach
ed Col. Vandevelde, and his death has not
been announced to her. She has been told
that he has taken q long journey on business
for her brother, the KING of the Bslgians.
She passes much of her time at the piano and
at her easel but since she has begun to no.
tlce the COlonels absence the Empress has
neither played a note nor touched her pencils.
One of the characteristics of her malady, how
ever, il lack of memory, and it is therefore
hoped that 10 short time she will have for
gotten her guardian, even as she seems to
have forgotten the whole Of her past eKis-
tence. She never speaks of MAxmilian or of
Mexico nor even Of her father, Leopold l.,
whose favorite child she was. or late years
she has become absolutely Indifferent to dress,
although in the earlier years of her insanity
she was constantly occupied with her toilet,
and even while she was living at toe Chateau
de Tervueren showed a marked tendency
toward coquetry. Sometimes she would ar
range her smartest dresses upon the chairs,
seemingly imagining that she was still the
centre of a court, and would address the
gowns alternately in three or four different
languages. When little time ago MaXimil-
iAn's valet-who was with him to the last
himself became insane and was taken to Muir
smar, she fretted about the poor fellow for a
few days and then completely forgot him.

ssry of the birth of the brothers Grimm, Mr..
NJ ID. Conway tells the following story told
by Wilhelm Grimm to friend One day a
little girl, bearing a book in her hand, rang
the bell at tue door of the brothers, aud asked
to see Mr.. Grimm. Wilhelm having seen her,
the following colloquy occurred; "Are you
the Mr.. Grimm who writes the pretty tales 2"

clever little tailor who married the princess ?"
"Yes, certainly" WELL" continued the
child, producing the book and opening at a
certain page, st says here that every one
who doesn't believe it must pay him thaler.
Now, don't believe a princess ever married
a tailor. l haven't so much as a thaler yet,
but have brought groschen, and please tell

she laid the silver gro chen on the table. Ja-
cob came up just then, and the brothers had
an interesting interview with the little dame,

General Garibaldi When he was in Sicily a
dwarf presented himself as a volunteer but
he was refused both by the council and the
general himself. But after the first battle
the little fellow came up to Garibaldi and
joyfully exclaimed

you could not prevent my coming. have

The general recognized the little fellow, and
replied, "Ah, bravo! aud where are you

After some hesitation, the other showed a
wound between the shoulders.
"Oh, fe ! said Garibadi, "wounded in the
back knew you would never be any good"
The little soldier went away greatly confus

Long weary days Of absence, when, oh, when
VIII ye be passed, and your glad exit bring
Once more to our embrace our much-loved son 2
What shades Of sadness DER our spirits steal
At the unwelcome thought that, when again
We meet, our boy will be a boy more; for
LOi to-day he's passed TO manhood's realm.
Yet why 40 sad 10 think upon the changer
What change will manhood bring7 win bOyhood's

Aud home grow less7 o mol this may not be.
Yet stronger now, and self.reliant grown,
Pressed with life's grave responsibilities
The boy will no more greet us, but the man.
To thee, dear son, this change will doubtless be
welcome one. The dawn Of manhOod's day
Is bright with hope and fraught with prospects,
Fair Of sure success attending all thy way.
May angels guard thy path at every step, and
May the Joys aud sorrows thou shalt meet
Oonspire TO strengthen thee 10 lofty aims,
And aspirations toward the good and true;
Aud mayat thou live 80 nUbly and 30 well,
Thy life may be blessing 10 the world.
Most gladly would we welcome thee once more,
on this returning Of thy natal day, within
The home which once thy presence cheered.
o, be assured our hearts are with thee still,
Rejoicing in thy Joy, sharing thy pain,
But chide not should thy parents, losing sight
OF the ubwecome truth thou art man,
Still think Of and receive thee M their boy.

The next man in turn, Amos James, put
his horse to a capter, and came in a cloud OF
yellow dust toward the objective point under
the tree. In another moment there WAS al
most a collision, for Kelsey had wheeled and
ridden back so swiftly that he reined up un-

James, rising in bis stirrups, dashed toward
it. His horse shied aud carried him past, out

He recovered bis presence of mind and the

a stingiDg lash upon the parsons horse, ~

up to release it. The next instant Gid Fletch-

silence for a moment, the broad brimmed hat
shading bis face with its melancholy express
sion, its immobile features, and it's flashing

"Drap that lash, " Kelsey said.
Gid Fletcher's grasp relaxed; then the
parson with his left hand reached up and
contrived to unloose the futtering gander.
He handed the bird down to the little girl,
who had been fairly under the horses heels
at the tree since the first suggestions Of its
deliverance. She clutched it in great haste,
wrapped her apron about it, and carrying it,
babywise, ran heetly of, casting appreciative
glances over her shoulder.
So the gander was saved but in its fright,
woe, and the frantic pressge in whatever Or
gan may serve it for mind, the fowl had q
pretty fair case against the Settlement for ex-
emplary damages.

The Kind ofa Tenant to Have

"Oh, yes, have all kinds of tenants, said
kind faced old gentleman, "but the one
like best is boy not over ten years old. A
few years ago l had chance to buy a piece
of land over on the west side, and did so. l
noticed that there was an old coop OF house
on it, but paid no attention to it. After a
while man came to me and wanted to know
II would rent it TO him.
"Whst do you want it for 2" says 1.
ITO live in" he replied.
"Well," said, you can have it. Pay me
what you think it is worth to YOU"
The first month be brought 50, and the
second month little boy, who said he was
the mans son, came with So. After that
saw the man once in a while, but in the course
of time the boy paid the rent regularly, some
times 81 and sometimes So. One day asked
the boy what had become of his father.
"He's dead sir" was the reply.
"Is that so ?" said l. "How long since 2"
"More'n year" he answered.
II took his money, but l made up my mind
that would go over and investigate, and the
next day drove over there. The old shed
looked quite decent. l knocked at the door
and little girl let me in. 1 asked for her
mother. She "a she had none.
"'Where is she P said l.

came in, and learned that these three chill
dren had been keeping house together for q
year and half, the boy supporting his two
little sisters by blacking boots and selling
newspapers, and the elder girl managing the
house and taking care of the baby. Well,
just had my daughter call on them, aud ",
keep an eye on them now. l thought l
wouldn't disturb them while they we're getting

said

tered up all the money he had paid me for

Golden years are passing by-yOuth is passing too.

All that you can call your own lies in this to-day.

Three Lessons.

There are three lessons would write,
Three words as with golden pep,
In traclngs Of eternal light
Upon the hearts Of men.
Have Hopei Though clouds environ round,
Aud gladness hides her face 10 ecorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow,
No night but hath its morn.
Have FAITH whereer thy bark is driven,
The calm's disport, the tempests mirth,
Know this: God rules The hosts Of heaven,
Tue inhabitants Of earth.
Have Lovei Not love alone for one,
But man az man thy brother call;
And scatter, like the ciroling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these words upon thy soul
Hope, Faith and Love; and thou shalt ind
Strength when life's Burges maddsst roll,
Light when thou else vert blind.
