Aear., A strange and wild dream. . Iiis

heart A strange and wild dream, Rfs that she had tried to scorn, passing away for her sake into the darkness. Dick seemed to wake from a heavy sleep with the sound of the sea in his ears, as it thundered against far distant rocks Stay, was it the sea or the tHmul' of the great cisyl The city was growing silent now, wrapped in an eveF-deepening tranquility. Then memory came back to him he knew what had come to pass; knew that he was dying. With a pAng oi regret at first. but when he raised his eyes and saw Iris Enderby's face bending over him he was well content It was as col oEless as his own; hu, there was new expression mingled with its intentnesS, a look that he had dreamed oi seeing ihsrs but had never thought to see in waking life, that touched him with a vague fear,
 This is good ot you" he said fAintly, !" l think it will not be for long"
 Can you forgive mep" said the girl in low voice. "You have laid down your hfo for me-"
 Dick looked at her with amazed eyes, The surgeon had turned away the two constables were speaking to each other in husky undertones.
 What have to forgive 2" he asked wondetingiy. But l will never forget you. An, wish my life had been worth your taking A poor, poor failurel If had known you sooner, might have had the heart to begin again but lost hope early-God knows why. You will nevei let it trouble you, this happy fate oi mine ?"
 "lt will trouble me-" she said slowly, all my life"
 "Ah, no r he said eagerly and in thA instant a strange look cf nobility irradia,ed his face, look it had not known for many a year.
 Forget it. am not worthy of one Te. gre,ful thought from you. Indeed, indeed am not worthy, And how could 1t eud more happilyp For fl l had lived should have sunk yet lower, and now am no, wholly base"
 He paused His words were growing incoherent.
 And you will give me the heliotrope you arc wearing, to take into darkness and never shall be lonely"
 have no heliotrope," said the girl clearly. though she shivered in the Au. gust night but will give you a rose.
 The rose she had worn was dropping now. She laid It in his hand then stooping suddenly, she kissed hIs fore head with long, soft kiss.
 A light flashed into his face, and an expression so brief, so transient, she never knew vherher it had been of joy oI pain. Then all grew dim. For years after there was one street tha, never echoed to Iris Enderby's foot. steps but now of all dreary haunts iu London, she loves Garick street the best and the children have learned to wait for her coming there. with outstIe,ched hands and the scent of heliouope, as she passes floats ca the heavy air.--Loneman' MagaSia<.

~ THE SUGAR CAMP
BY Rosr. M'INTYRE.

ToykiuR of treat, delicious to eat, donf
 thunder the mealy bees, Gin out and 20, thro' a skift of snow, to ar orchard of sugar trees p.,gs down the hill when all is still. and the soft blue smoke is curled, In ,he frosty haze, and ice gems blaze, as sun down takes the world No honey of flowers on this earth of ours, nc sap of southern cane, u,l,s on the lip like sweets that drip, from a wounded maple grain. And if you pick up gourd or cup, and go tc snarled old bole. youp drink of juice that will uuloose the sorrows of your soul. There giants here are not blooms of year no harvest man has grown, They suckle the breast of mother earth un sardenered and alone. God is the tiller of all these growths, they work His will out thus, Lifting their arms in sacrifice. they poor oui their blood for us. O. to take once more from tree to tree the sled and team drove, Meandering slow through the crispy snow tc every one in the grove Don't talk to me of the barley bree, tha steeps in the still house drmp, There never was wine trodden out of the vine like sap of sugar camp. What are blooming citrons and matted palms or thickets of tamarinds dim To one who goes where mail clad rows o naples make way for him. The castinets of the crystal grass tinkle low at every tread, With the stainless white beneath him, ana the fleckless blue o'erhead. He boldly drains the generous veins of a stal wart woodland king, As he hears up wind-swept avenues his hench mems bridles ring; Or lifts from the odorous cauldron deep where the amber sweetness swirls, A cup of nectar like Ganymede's, to the lip! of the country girls. Or he drives his sleigh down the moonlit way along quiet lane, To hitch where light of a farmhouse bright streams from the window pane. When cuddled snug in the ample rug thro snowy drifts they whir, While his sweetheart eats the spicy sweets he made that day for her. Past wreath-hid stiles the gleaming miles un der the runners unroll, And his lips taste plain the naples again, as he takes his lover's toll. For the sleigh is narrow, and one swift arrow from Cupid, the rosy scamp. Strikes man and maid from his ambuscade as they pass the sugar camp. He smiles next day, and works away, stirring the bubbling trough, For she makes him wait to know his fate til the night of sugaring- off. Cupid makes his low of the boughs tha' grow in the sugar thicket's shade And dips each shaft clear down 10 the haft in the syrup when it's made. 1 could forget all my sorrow yet all I've suf- fered, siRned and teiled, If my heart were braced eith the homely taste of a dipper of sap half-boiled. When get to Heaven I'll kiss lem all round and start on happy tramp Up towards the headwaters of Paradise to work in the sugar camp.

Their credit being of the highest, they might continue their i'm. mense banking business indefinitely with little or DO capital. lt is hardly more than 100 yezxs since the founder of the family and its fortunes, Mayer Ansiem of very humble Jewish parentage, was an humble clerk h 8 Hanover counting house, He afterward established himself al banker h Frankfort. The discreet investment of $ GOO 900 of silver, depes. ited with him in iSob by the Hector William on the invasion of his territory by the French, vas the source of the enormous wealth of the firm. It was de- posited without interest, but Roshschild paid interest regularly and returned the capital to the electors son seventeen years later. The Rothschilds have never been 90 rich as now, but they have noth- ing like the power they once had, prob ably because the capital oi the world has % rapidly increased. ft used to be said that kings could not go to war without heir consent.

Despo,ism Pure and Simple.
IExchRnYe.l


 suppose there is not in the whole world monarch so despotic as the Bur mese emperor. He is considered by him. self and others absolute lord of the lives, properties and personal services of his sub ects he exalts and depresses, confers and takes away honor and rank, and, without any process of law, can put to death not only criminals guilty of capital offences, but any individual who happens to incur his displeasureo lt Is here a per ilous thing for person to become dis tinguished for wealth and possessions, for the day may easily come when he will be charged with some supposed crime, and so put to death in order that his property may be conhscated. Every sub ject Is the emperoPs born slave, and when he calls anyone his slave he thinks thereby to do him honor. To express their sense of this subjection all who ap- proach him arc obliged to prostrate them selves before him, holding their hands joined above their heads. Hence, also, he considers himself entitled to employ his subjects in any work or service, with out salary or pay. and if he makes them any recompense it is done not from any sense of justice, but as an act Of bounty. The goods likewise, and even their per sons are reputed his property, and on this ground 1t is that he selects for his concubine any female that may chance to please his eye. The possessions of all who die without heirs belong to the king, as do those of foreigners who have not married in the country, for they are not allowed to dispose of them, not even in favor of their illegitimate children. Although despotism in its worst form constitutes, as it were, the very es- sence of the Burmese monarchy, SO that to be called its king is equivalent to be- ing called tyrant, still has Badonsachen Casually referred as to Bodaw Payah) the despot who for the last tweniy.seven years has governed this kingdom, 90 far outstripped his predecessors in barbaYity and pride that whoso but hears of 1t must shudder with horror. His very counte- nance is the index of a miad fesocious and inhuman in the highes, degree. In- mense is the number of those whom he has sacrificed to his ambition upon the most trivial ofenses. and it would not be an exaggeration to assert that during his reign more victims have fallen by the hand Of the executioner than by the sword of the common enemy. To this .s.cc;cns cruelty he has united pride at once intolerable and impious.-Erom q dsseritffSS c/ H< BHrm<ss Emtfys.

 HaH dozen sailors, British and foreign but all drunk, and all very much excited, had just poured oc: .! cne cf the worst public-houses in the quarter, and were commencing free fight among them selves. A little throng gathered, cursing and cheering, and obstructing the path way, and Iris stopped good deal fright ened. Dick noted ore policeman on the extreme outskirts of the disturbance, leisurely whistlipg for help and then-it all happened in an instant-a drunken Lascar broke out of the throng and caught Iris by the arm. She uttered a low cry. The next moment that Lascar was lying on the pavement, to which Dick had flung him with perhaps unneces- sary force.
 Not for long. He was up again, with a demoniacai look of rage on his face, and he sprang at Dick like a wild beast. Aashed in the crimson tavern lights. Then, as in wild dream, the throng melted away, with fierce cries and ejaculations, and Iris vas kneeiing at Dick WaTington's side cha6ng his hands.

her voice annoyed LICK uuaccountaoly.
 "Unless you are too fastidious," he said, in a sudden tone of bitterness that astounded himself, to take help at the hands of poor blackguard like me-"
 The girl looked at him with strange blending of compassion and repugnance in her eyes.
 "You could have been a gentleman if you had wished" she said calmly. eff you are what you choose to be, why blame me for taking you at your own vai- nation ?"
 Thsre was something terribly true and relentless about her words, and Dick winced under them as the most violent reproaches had ceased to make him vince.
 Thank you" he said. "You show me what have to expect from people of a higher moral standard. And yet what right have you to assume that am worth less?'
 "lt is your own epithet," she returned tranquilly. But-forgive me-to eer- tain extent men write their characters in their faces"
 checked himself just in time, and spoke in tones of exceeding suavity.
 "What excellent discrimination you have! Then you have ascestained that my character is too far gone ts allow of my associating with you, to however small an extent, in work of mercy" A half smile broke over the girls face, faint and transient, and yet it lit up the whole countsnaDce, and softened its youthful austeEity.

THE ENCINEER's STORY.

"wel, stranger, twas somewhere in 'sixty-nine,
were runnin the Frisco fast express;
An from Murder Creek to Blasted Pine,
Were nigh onto eighteen mile, guess.
The road were a down-grade all the way,
An we pulled out of Murder little late,
So opened the throttle wide that day,
And mile a minute were bout our gait
my freman's name was Lariat Bill,
quiet man with an easy way,
Who &c aid rope steer with cow boys Skill
Which he'd learned in Texas, I've heard him
say;
The coil was strong as tempered steel,
An it went like a bolt from cross bow flung,
An arter Bill changed from saddle to wheel,
Just over his head in the cab it hung
"Well, as were sayin, we fairly few,
As we struck the curve at Buffalo Spring,
An gave her full steam an put her through,
An the engine rocked like hvin' thing;
When all of sudden got scare
For thar on the track was little child
An right in the path of the engine there,
She held out her little hands and smiled
al jerked the lever and whistled for brakes,
The wheels threw sparks like shower of
gold;
But knew the trouble down-grade makes,
An. set my teeth, an my flesh grew cold.
Then Lariat Bill yanked his long lassoo,
An out on the front Of the engine crept-
He balanced a moment before he threw,
Then out in the air his lariat swept"
He paused. There were tears in his honest eyes;
The stranger listened with bated breath
81 know the rest of the tale" he cries:
"He snatched the child from the jaws of
death
Twas the deed OF hero-from heroes bred
Whose praises the very angels sing !"
The engineer shook his grizzled head,
And growled: "He didn't do no such thing.
''He aimed for the stump Of big pinetree,
An the lariat caught with double hitch,
An in less'n a second the train an we,
Were yanked off the track an inter the ditch
'Twere an awful smash, an it laid me out,
amt forgot il en- never shall;
'were the passengers hurt2' Lemme see-about
Yes, it killed about forty-but saved the
gait" Puck

ANOTHER CLOUD.
President CleveIand's stand Likely TO
Make Trouble with Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. s.
1t is generally believed here that diplomat
ic questions of grave Importance will soon
arise between the United States and Mexico,
growing out of the position taken by fresi-
dent Cleveland against the right of Mexico
to try Americans committing crimes against
the Mexican law while on American soil.
Newspapers of all shades of opinion stand by
the government in this matter on the ground
that the principle is sound one, and ap-
proved by some of the most highly civilized
nations of the world.
Preliminary judicial proceedins have been
taken to bring criminal libel suits against the
authors of the recent reports regarding Min
lister Manning's conduct at private dinner.
The governor of Federal district is active in
trying to detect the sources of these reports
The physician who has been attending Man
nIng says he has been suffering from two dis
tinct complaints, distressing umbilical aztec
ton and insipient pneumonia.
