IT rs NOT FAVORABLE to the long
duration of Emperor Frederick's reign
that he starts out upon the principle
that he Cannot take time" to care
for himself. Although in the natural
course of his inalady he cannot expect
TO be spared many months, 1t is not
incumbent upon him to hasten the
inevitable by an exhaustive devotion
to the affairs Of state. His people are
more interested in the prolongation of
his life than in any heroic but over
strained self-sacrifce to a sense of
duty. Martyrdom is a glorious thing,
but not always to be coveted by an eX-
cess of public zeal, unless the fate of
the Government he hanging in the
balance.

II THE BENEDICT Investigating Com
mittee wants to do its business prop
erly, il should conduct its work in a
lon-political manner. The refusal of
Foreman Drake to inform DR.. CALM
ger as to his politics was eminently
correct, and if the Dr.'s success in the
practice of his profession is no better
than his practice in conducting an in
vestigation, the country will not re-
main in doubt as TO whether medicine
or legislation would be most benefited
by his retiring to nunnery, so to
speak.

 Really" said Pansie. "So that at any rate it will be faint consolation to you to know that 1 shall have a decent-looking man for a husband"
 "Nay, now you're chaffing, and the matter is far to serious to be laughed about. Tell me, Pansie, what shall you do?"
 q leave it in your hands, Lancy,' replied the girl. "Of one thing you may be sure, I love you and you alone, and whatever happens, no other man shall be my husband"
 "Thank you for that speech, my darling" said the young man, seizing the girls hand and kissing it, a pro- ceeding which, being observed by Miss Julia, brought about an immed- fate dispersal of the party to their several bedrooms.

TEMPEST TOSSED.
BY LIDA LEWIS WATSON.

Oh, Mem'ryi lay thy fnger-tips Upon our world sight weary eyes, Let fall, in music from thy lips, The sweetest of thy lullabiesi We stood together, you and I, On that night that Is long since dead, That night with the dew.damp grass at our
 feet,
 The roses overheadl Tho rose trees that dropped With their sensuous blooms, nquenched by the fall of the dew, And they flied my veins with their scarlet
 fire, As stood there alone with you That night is dead, in passionate June, Twas three lonRyesrs agol Tbe birds W ere perfect in their tune, The waters Tn their flow; No birds but June birds sing as those, In dusky shadows winging. Their liquid notes adown the dark The nightlngales were finging l heard them there but 1t seemed like dream For your face in its passionate splendor, AS dark as the shadows that sheltered the
 rose,
 Was over me sweet and tenderi Your breath on my cheek, your touch on my Your clasp and your mouths soft signing, felt it all, as you swore your VOW, AS a soul must feel heaven when dyingl Once more I stand where the roses burn Their blood-red flames to ashes. The dewdrops on their petaied hearts, The teardrOps on my iashes, And feel Tn my vens the olden fires, As my heart throbs out your name, And know that forever the old desires Will be the samel
 H. And SO, like dream, it comes back to me, Your face and your sweet mouths signing, And once more In my dreams I seem to be, Tonight, in your strong arms lylngl o roses of flannel o heart of fire; O nightingale in the copse O hearti that throbbed with your mad desire O storm tossed hopesi -BoSton Globe.

 The colonel turned the letters over until he came to one bearing British stamp.
 "Why, sir" he said, eff there ain't 6 letter from the old country. Perhaps l can give you some news" Lancelot eagerly scanned the col- onel's face as the latter read the letter, and saw the successive expressions upon 1t, of surprise and indignation. "I hope there's nothing wrong, sir,n Lancelot ventured to remark.
 "Read that, sir" said the colonel in reply, turning away to vent his wrath in torrent of the fiercest calculations and imprecations.
 Lancelot red the letter, which was from Miss Julia, announcing the dis appearaoce of Panaie from Athena house, and, of course, affected the greatest surprise.
 "Whst do you think of that, sir?o said the colonel, returning from the exercise of his mathematical faculties.

 "But you won't say anything yet will you, Lancy?" urged the trembling girl. "You won't let him know who you are, or that am here?"
 "No fearI" replied her husband "Keep youselfquite easy. Your father and will be the best friends in the world in short time"
 So saying, he went of after the col onel, followed him into the station which was . scene of hustle and con. fusion, as large quantities of metal had arrived from the smelting works ai Ouray, South Fork. Antelope Spring Barnum, and other mining districts to be transported to San Francisco Tsic1; watched him sumter about ir leisurely and dignified way for come time, and finally turn into the depot aloon.
 Here he joined the colonel, and over . drink got into conversation with him.
 "A Britisher; tir?" said the colonel at length, after survey of Lancelot'l person from head to foot Lancelot admitted the soft impeachment.
