The Hungarian Governments labor

The Hungarian Governments laboring
zcalously to mlta stop to the emigration
OF its subjects to the United States. Par
ticularly is the effort made to deter the
common laboring classes from leaving
their native land. AS one Austrian parcr
puts it: "Emig9tions Of this kind ARE TO
be put stop to with IN iron hand"
Even wives and children are refused per-
mission to leave the country to join the
husband and father in America, where he
has prospcrcd so as to pay the passage of
his family Men, women and children
who have thus been sent for and have
reached the frontier have been turned
back by the officers and forced to return
to their native villages. Great suffering
has been caused by these inhuman regu-
lations, and one cannot but sympathizc
with the desire to flee from such a
country.

usually their fate. 1t is n recognized fact
in the country that there is nothing bet

usually supposed to end. Few city bred
people know they are useful for even these
purposes. They are excellent to dust
furniture with, unless it is highly pol

THE STORY TOLD ANEW.

In the dusk and down lane
Two walked, hand in hand, together;
Blew the wind and fell the rain;
Little needed they the weather.
Cold March winds might storm about;
Warmth within Knocked cold without
Had the road been paved with gold,
They had never seen a simmer;
Had the stars left heavens high fold,
Night to them had grown no DINNER;
Earth, unto its widest hem,
Consisted Of four feet for them!
What said he to make her start,
Flush and glow wiz sudden pleasurel
What could cause the woman's heart
Then to beat a faster measurey
Why did eyelids, prone to rise,
Eide the light Of glowing eyes?
Twas the story told anew,
Old, yet never antiquated;
Just the same words-just as few
Just the case so often stated
just the same In every wise
AS once was told in Paradise.
