The Course of>Chinese True Love.

Love has its troubles among all clans, and
even the impossible Mongolian finds that its
course does not run smoothly. The anti
Chinese law is keeping fond hearts in China
away from fond hearts in New York, and
promises to make the Chinese colony per.
manent one and to provide it with American
wives. This is the way of it: Five years ago
boy of IA was betrothed to girl of IS, and
then the little pig tailed lad set sail for San
Francisco with his father to make his fortune
and return for his bride. In vain the Ian
gushing Lo Fee has written to him to return.
All Chung knows that if he goes back to
China he cannot come back here, and his
doodle" is yet too small to keep wife in
style.
Finally the bride got angry and wrote to
her uncle to make it hot for All Chung, which
he proceeded to do verbally. But the latter
young man is not easily scared, and coolly
told the uncle that his betrothed had better
suit herself with husband at home, as on the
whole be thought American girls prettier
than Mongolians, and intended to marry and
settle down in the United States
The fact is that Cinnamon who have visited
their old home and returned have brought
such terrible accounts of the dullness of
poverty stricken life in China that the wide
awake Celestials coloni1ed here have mainly
concluded that Tennyson was right about his
"Cycle of Cathay," and it will suffice to send
their bones home.-Exchanga

AMBITION.

Il Is not mine-though had dreamed It So
To trace with passionate tones peoples ear,
Or leaning ,gainst the great world heart, to
hear
Its throbbing pulses pause and beat more slow,
Until It catch my voices ebb and fiew,
And leap In glad response. Nor, ringing clear,
Shall this faint note / strike pierce through
earth's drear
And waiting noise, to charm awhile its woe
ask no more-if words Of mine, as signs
Low breathed from lips I love, shall find their
way,
And gather thence such tender melodies,
Such new born quiyering life. as haply may
Witch the tired look from out woman's eyes,
Or win the smile Of children at their play

the masculine nature is a mixture of mis-
chief, and sensitiveness, and spunk, and fun,

istry of the world fails TO analyze. A little
girl is definable. She laughs when she is
pleased, cries when she feels bad, pouts

go nutting than to eat, forgets at the fish
pond he has not had his dinner, often laughs
when he feels bad, and looks submissive
to an imposition practiced upon till he gets
the perpetrator alone in the middle of the
road and tumbies him into the dirt till eyes

city by the large streets, the size of the houses

of Canada, aS he was enabled TO recognize
some of them without questioning Robur.

There is tine Parliament House." said
Phil Evans, pointing to a sort of Nuremberg
toy, which was perched on the side of a hill.
This toy, with its diversified style of archi-
lecture, resembled the Houses of Parliament
of London, the Montreal Cathedral, and the
St. Peter of Rome.
About two hours later Robur reappeared,
accompanied by his foreman, George Kerns.
He passed by Uncle Prudent and Phil Evans,
looked at a gauge that was affixed to the Gen.
trial turret, and gave an order TO the twoa as
sistants in the turret At a sign the steersman
altered the course of the Albatross to the
southwest. Uncle Prudent and Phil Evans
observed that a highly increased speed had
been impaired to the propellers. The air

nowhere TO be seen. At the stern, the steers
man in his glass cage, his eyes fixed on the
compass, was impeiturbably following the

four miles an hour Compare these figures
with the following and you will see that the
fastest locomotive would follow like a snail in
the track of the Il" Albatross. The maximum
power produced by the propellers of the
4" Albatross" produced a speed of 1875 miles an
hour, or about 1888 feet a second. This is the
speed of the cyclone, which tears along at
about 176 feet a second. 1t is the rate at
which the carrier pigeon flies, and is only ex-
ceeded by the flight of the common swallow,
2O7 feet a second, and by that of the martin

In aword, the "Albatross, :" as Robur had
asserted at the stormy meeting Of the Weldon
Club, could, by e%xertine all the power of its
screws, make a tour of the world in two hum
dred hours, or about eight days.
1t was this speed that had enabled Roburto
mystify the inhabitants of the lower world by
appearing with the ''Albatross' over Asia and
America in the same week. The fiaring notes
of the famous trumpet were sounded by the
foreman. George Kerns. The ensign which
covered the "Albatross was the flag of

AS the pangs of hunger had commenced to
stir within both Uncle Prudent and Phil
Evans, they Immediately decided that it was
not a time for ceremony. A meal or two
made no pledges, and they resolved that
when Robur replaced them on the earth they
would not allow a paltry breakfast to hamper
their liberty of action in dealing with this
audacious wretch.
They were conducted to the rear turret into
O little dining room. There they found q
table, correctly set, from which they were to
