A Surprised Soldier.

A Baden Baden letter tells this story
about the Empress of Austria: The EN-
press Elizabeth has been in tho habit OF
taking long walks every day some fifteen
or twenty miles, generally accompanied
by only her maid of honor. a short
time ago they were going to Rnstadt,
little town about twelve miles from here,
containing royal school and Larracks,
when they lost their way They were
in despair, but were relieved by meeting
two private soldiers, whom they took aa
guides, not telling whom they were.
The empress walked with one of the
soldiers, the maid Of honor with the
other for the whole altc'nson, convcrsing
very pleasantly. The Empress told her
companion that she was mn Austrian, and
would like to see him ngain, inviting him
to call upon her the next day and giving
him her address. The day arrivcd-so
did the soldicr--he was ushercd into
room, where he met tho Colonel Of his
regiment, who questioned him about his
behavior the day before. The poor sol.
dior was struck dumb with horror when
he found with whom he had chattcd in
such friendly manner, as her Majesty
dresses very simply when she goes on
these tramrs, and had simply told him
that her name was Elizabeth; he, of
course, had no idea OF her exalted rank.
She presented him with twenty marks.

Where the full throat Of tho WOO warblc,

Where the soft chime Of tho brook on the

Where the faint hum of the bee on the breeze
Of perfume is sw nging,

Far to tho shade of the oak that beckons
with bows that are nodding,
Where tho fat, rollickng bee with the weight

Where the woodpeckcr, so fierce WI the

Taps his brown home.

Sweet with tho fragrance of woods and tho

Cool with zcphyrs that played through the
ancient Acadian bowers
There are the minutes found that are only the
hearts Of tho hours,
Throbbing unseen.
Come, dainty one, at my need,
Fain would 1 show you the why where tho
fern-leaf in shadow reposes,
Where the bland buzz of tho bce is hushed in
the pause Of his dozes,
Where you can see tho half-shy, half-petu-
liant face of wild roses
There I would lead.
Thus would take you through life;
Giving you only, my love, the honey and
roses and singing,
Only the smoothest of paths where tho scent
of wild flower, is clingiug,
Nearer and nearer to peace, and ever your

An ingenious astronomical theory is
that Of Mr.. M mex of Dublin, who sug.
gcsts that as shooting stars are known to
be dirk bodies rendered luminous for

luminous bodies which acquire short

Capt. II. Toynbcc, OF tho London

There are thirty-two saloons in the

sixteen thousand three hundred and

defray municipal expenses, and it takes

say I'VE will compel the laborng men
to pay special tax of sixteen thousand
three hundred and twenty dol in
Order to lessen the taxes of the cap

ileges were taken away they would be
the gamers in paying even this special
tax, for now they have to pay in addi-
ton. for the support of thirty-two FAM
lies and the profits of the thirty-two
men engaged in tho saloon business.
Will Labor continue to take the bur-
den from Capital by paying its taxes3
This is question that should BIZ care

not obliged to pay this tax; they do it
voluntarily. In getting tbs benefit

they don't feel like relieving Capital of

Temperance Education.

We do not understand that the recent
Legislation by Congress, and nearly
score of States, was for the sake of
having physiology. as such, taught in
the schools, or Of wing it taught in
such way as put small emphasis
upon the danger of beginning to drink;
least of all of emitting altogether the
danger of the light drinks, as beer.
wine and cider.
Every body condemns drunkenness
to-day. There Is no need of spending
the pupils time on that. Neither are
the youth and children who will study
physiological Temperance ordinarily
lrunkards needing to be reformed, but
they do need to know, and the law
intends they shall be instructed in the
forms of alcohol they will be tempted
to drink. ANY omission of this phase
of the subject, or lack of emphatic
teaching on these subjects, must there
fore meet with our direct opposition.
The object of the special legislation
of the past two years in this matter 10
to promote Temperance by creating an
intelligent sentiment in the rising gen.
Grafton through the best knowledge Of
themselves. their enemies alcohol and
other narcotics-and all the evils tend
ing to destroy body, mind and soul
through the use of these.
We believe that the basis OF the pro-
posed education should be an intelli-
gent knowledge OF what alcohol is-its
presence and unchanged character in
the popular beverages in which it is
ordinarily found and followed by suf-
ticient physiological law as tangible
reason for total abstinence, all of which
is Incorporated in the true study Of
scientific Temperance in the public
schools! We have worked for the pas
sage of these laws, and have pledged
ourselves to labor for their enforce
ment, and shall endeavor by every
means in our power to give such aid to
teachers in their work, and the school
officers in their supervision, rs shall
secure the best teaching of this subject
