MERLIN, September 2tThe testamentary
notes Of late kaisor William, abstracts of
which have just been made public by the
present emperor, although of merely historic
value, have been scanned with the deepest
interest, as revealing the light in which he de-
sired To be viewed by posterity Each was
written at critical point in his career and all
are pormeated with tho deep piety which
characterized his public dispatches In the
first, written shortly before he was made re-
gent, after quoting passage from scriptures
he says
"When this writing falls into hands of my friends
shall have departed this life. May itbe vouchsafcd
to me in my last moments 10 commend my spirit to
God. should sudden death overtake me. My whole
life has been preparation for the world to come"
a vein of sadness runs through the docu-
mont, as the writer clancos back at alternat
joys and sorrows Of his life. He expresses
great lovc1or the fatherland.
The second note written after the war with
Austria, commences:
''Snco IN 1857. Iwrote 10 my surviving friends my
last farewell, fate has deeply affected my life"
II contains touching illusions to the death
of his brother and expresses heartfelt thanks
to the people of Prussia for the sentiments
displayed towards him. In it he prays that
God will allow his successor TO preserve Pru-
STA the position he plainly assigned her by
Providence. The note concludes
"Mnl God, in hi, grace, win it SO" midnight

The third note commences in lS70-lS7i with
the words:
God was with AS. To Him be praise, honor and
glory"
a memorable passage runs:

This and the fourth document conjure up
the brief visions OF events which marked each
year.
Loving references to the kindness and mag
nauimity of his people both end with the
prayer.
"lord, thy viii be dono on earth as il is in
Heaven Amen.'
Last, referring to Nobilmg's attempt to
asSassinate him, says:

The adjournment of the Legisla-
ture brought joy to the hearts of the
people. This is sad truth. and we
regret that it is so. We wish that
our Legislators had gone to their
homes honored and respected by
those who commissioned them as
representatives, but on the other
hand, with few honorable excep-
tions, they have gone to their habi-
tations bearing with them the male
dictions and contempt of all who
were in any wise familiar with their
methods. We have been informed
that a more contemplate body have
never assembled in our legislative
halls. How true this may be we
know not. but we do know the State
and the people would have been bet
ter OF il the Legislature had never
been born.
Not a single measure calculated to
advance the interest of the State has
been passed, but many good and
wholesome things haye been killed
or allowed to die.
The working classes were snubbed
on every hand, not single measure
in its interest receiving any atten-
ton. They were treated with silent
contempt.
1t is to be regretted that our State
is so cursed with politics that it is
impossible to get anything done ior
the people, Nothing will save us
from ruin but slaughter of the po-
litical leaders that are sucking the
iife-blood of our grand old State.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom our Regular Correspondent
April IL, 1888

(From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 10th, 1885,
Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, who is
the senior member of the United
States Senate, celebrated his 18th
birthday last Saturday evening by a
reception at his residence in this
city. The distinguished gentleman
is a veteran in legislation. having
served nearly thirty-two consecutive
years in Congrass, and that he has
lost none of the ability for Which he
has been famous for many years was
fully proven by the able speech
which he delivered last Wednesday
on the tariff. Mr.. Merrill has been
a member of the Senate continuously
for q years, one month and ten days,
and no member of that distinguished
body enjoys the confidence of the
people and of his colleagues to a
greater extent than he.
The House committee on INVALID
pensions have amended the Deepen
dent Pension bill entirely out of its
original shape. But it matters little
what they do with it in committee,
as the Democrats of the House have
fully decided that it shall not pass
that body until next session, and
then they depend on Cleveland to
veto it. AS the election will be over
by that time he will probably not
disappoint them.

Watching the fish hawks is a constant
source of delight to the people at the New
Jersey coast resorts. From Sandy Hook
to Barnegat these birds are as familiar as
robins are to inland folk. They are of
the eagle family, and though slightly
smaller than the national bald head, are
very much like him. Though birds of
prey, they are far more tame than crows
in some respects, notably in the fact that
they build their nests in the most con-
~spicuous trees, often those which stand
alone in pasture land. Whatever tree
they build In is certain to die. The phos-
phorous or some other property in the
bits and bones of fish they drop kills the
roots of whatever tree they inhabit. The
birds are fond Of the Shrewsbury, at Red
Bank, and there is seldom a moment
during daylight when they are not to be
seen lowering Oven the river. They are
able to see a fish in the water from a
considerable height, and, seeing it, they
close their wings and drop like a bullet.
They strike the water with a great splash
and disappear under it, hut only TO rise
in a second or two grasping a fish in
their talons. Just now travellers along
the roads of Monmouth county "a see
the heads Of the ospey's babies over the
tops of the biz nests in the dead trees.
The ~Jeiseyrlen are superstitious about
killing them; indeed, ~ n ever hurts

This furctionary is a tall and gaunt
old Mussulman, with a fierce mustache,
an embroidered scarlet jacket and a huge
''f~ustanelle." He carries a ladder, a box
of lucifer matches and a huge green cot
ton umbrella. He plants his ladder
against the wooden post, on the top Of
which a oinmon tin lamp is insecurity
fastened, and taking off the glass Chin
ney opens his umbrella to keep off the
wind. The handle Of the umbrella is
tucked under his arm, and then balanc-
ing himself on the rickety ladder he pro-
ceeds to strike a light with his lucifers,
carefully protecting the suffering flame
with both his hands. Naturally this is a
slow process and by the time the dozen

Reserve Force of Middle Age.

We-at least persons who have passed
middle age-have only a certain amount Of
reserve force, and all that we draw upon in
hurries is distracted from that which should
be distributed through the remainder of life.
The secret of longevity is probably skill in
so economizing the reserve of vital energy as
to make il last out al unusual period. Per
sons who begin unusual exercise IN youth
may adapt their constitutions TO the habit,
and may thereby hold on to their full term
of life; but this cannot be done safely If one
waits till mature age before beginning

What pretty looks, what eyes there be.
What gamesome ways, what dimpled smiles;
What lissome limbs, what frolic wiles;
What easy laughter, fresh and clear;
What pranks to play, what jests to hear;
Old Time forgets to shake his sand,
The days go tripping, band In hand,
In Folly land, in Folly land.
In Folly land, one idle hour,
The moonlight had a wizard power;
Its fairy glamour turned my brain;

A bird was chirping drowsily:
He smiled, he sighed, he held my hand.

Tot heart is in your moldy books.
