oLuThlNcs AND DEAR.
From the German ]

tFrom the German
There is no song like an old song
That we have not heard for years;
Each simple note appears to thr0ng
With SHAPES that swim IN teas.
II may have been cheerful strain
But twas so long ago.
That glee. grown old, mas turned to pain,
And mirth has turned TO woe.
There Is no friend like an old friend,
Whose life-path mates our own,
Whose dawn and noon, whose eve and end
Have known what we have Known
IL may be when we read his face
We note a trace Of care;
IT'S well that friends Ia lies last grace
share signs rs smiles they snare.
There is no love like an old love;
A lost. maybe, or dead
Whose place, since she mas gone ABOVE,
No other fills instead.
IL is MOI that we'll ne'er love anew,
For life were drear II so,
Btlt that first love has roots that grew
Where others cannot grow.
There are no DAYS like old days,
When we, not they, were young;
When all life's rays were golden rays
Aud wrong had never stung.
Dear hearti II now our steps could pass
Through paths OF childhOOd's morn,
And the dew Of youth lie on the grass
Where Times fell scy the has shornl
Old song. old friend, old love, old days;
Old things. yet never old;
A stream hats dark till sunshine plays
And changes II To gold;
Through all winds memory's river on,
mid banks of sore regret,
Bue gledm's on the peaks OF long agone
That softeus sadness yet.

THE KINGS DAUGHTER.
GBy Mary L. Henderson,

GBy Mary L. Henderson,
whin you was out lady called,
A lady foine and fair,
Wild swate blue eyes, and purity mouth,
And lovely banged up hair.
And whln she asked eff you was in,
Says /, "No, mum, she's not;
But eff you'll lave your card wild me-
III see it's not forgot"
~oh, niver moind," says she; II came
A little news to bring
About sousc poor we're doing for
I'm dau' Sher av the king"
Thin, howly saints lost me wits,
And curtesied down so low;
That whin the princess left the door,
I niver saw her go.
But gettin' quick me senses back.
Hurried down the strate,
And, bowin' low, says to her,
'Pray won't your hoighness waltz"
She looked at me and smiled most swate,
Wild all her white teeth shown;
~,No, not today; I'll come again.
IT'S tonne must be goin'."
Now, though am a dimmycrat,
All kings and queenses hatin',
And bein' an American,
All white folks equal ratin',
I'd loike to know the princess name,
And who moight be her father,
And what sha,1 doini ovor hare
So far across the wather.
And eff her royal hoighness wants
A maid to wait upon her.
I'll do It on these blissed knaes,
Sure's me names O'Connor.

The weight and bulk of the gold and
silver coins now held in the United
States treasury form the subject of much
inquiry among people of mathematical
turn of mind, one of whom has ascer-
tanned that the gold alone weighs COL
tons of 1900 pounds, and that the silver
weighs 5000 tons. Corded along the high
way, as wood is corded, the gold would
make wall feet high and A feet thick
for distance of 1856 feet. The silver, if
similarly packed in solid wall, would
extend 4, 24s feet, or about five-sixths Of
a mile. If packed in carts, ton to each
cart, the procession would be nearly 38
miles long, of which distance the carts
containing gold would cover two and
one-half miles, and the silver ladened
carts a fraction over 304 miles, ~

mad? recognized the face of the por-
trait. That face was Madeleine's!
While she approached the pool the
wind must have shifted, for the reeds,
which just now had leaned from the side
of my window, bent down now to meet
the young girl, and toward her reached
the long arms of the Shadow Graded on
the reed tips. Madeleine seemed to hest
tate, prey to violent emotion. Now she
started toward the phantom of the pool;
now she stood motionless and seemed
about to retrace her steps; but soon she
took up her interrupted course, and
reached the spot among the interlacing
trees, the obscure and indefinite line
where land and water met. At the edge
of the pool, almost within reach of the
fantastic arms which strained toward her
as If to enfold her, she stopped.
In the heavens there was but single
star; there was single star, too, in the
pool. l was not dreaming, for noted
that.
Long, long she stood undecided, and
sometimes she seemed to wish to fly to
the house; but oftener, lost, shivering in
the breeze, in the garb of death or Of q
bride, she held out her arms to the shadow
which silently called her.
AT last she threw herself into the ter
rible pool. The water must be up to her
waist, for saw only the whiteness Of her
breast. She advanced ever toward the
Shadow, and the Shadow came to meet
her. Then saw only her head, appear
ing from time to time between the reeds
then saw nothing.
But the rushes ratified more dolorously,
twisted, bent, pushed aside; the phantom
which followed the movement Of their
tips writhed SO that his chest shrank
away from one side, while his legs grew
long on the other, and his arms, as If
they enlaced in the depths some prey
caught at last, disappeared all at once in
mighty parting of the reeds.
Madeleine had drowned herself in this
black, awful pool. had not seen her.

woman. Haughton was very fond OF
visiting, and always put on good clothes
when so doing. A week ago Hanghton was
missing. la, is was asked in regard to his
Whereabouts, and said Hsughton had gone
to a neighbor's to play the violin. A pill
low from the bed was also missing. A
fragment of it was found in the fire place,
the rest having been burned. Davis said
Hsughton had been reading with lamp
beside the bed and that the pillow had
caught fire, wh=reupon he had thrown il
in the fireplace. The absence of Haugh-
ton was still unaccountabie. FOrtv-eight
hour, passed and he did not appear. 1t
was found that his best clothes, which, as
stated, he always wore when visiting, were
in the room. The river near by was
dragged, and systematic search begun.
A keen-eyed man fond the marks of
buggy wheels, half obiterated by the
rain, and q wheelbarrow with blood
upon it. II was found that The wheel
barrow had been rolled from q window. of
the room which Davis and Haughton &C.
cupied. The wheel tracks were traced
from the rear of the house to a tobacco
barn some distance away. This lead to
careful search of the barn, in which were
5000 pounds of tobacco piled up on planks.
Under these plapks was found freshly dis
turbed earth. At q depth of feet dig
ging revealed Hsughton's body laid on its
face and attired in everyday clothing. An
showed that death bad been
caused by a terrible blow upon the head
with some heavy instrument. A few hours
before the finding Of the body
some blood was found under the bed, aud
Davis was questioned and was told that il
Haughton was not found il would be be-
lieved that be had murdered him. At the |
discovery of the body it was found that
Davis had fed. 1t was discovered that on |
the night the murder was committed |
Haughton and DAVIS slept together in their |
room on the second floor of the house, and |
that the old woman had locked toe front |
door. She knew nothing more. The |
conjecture is that Davis, after having |
killed Haughtop, rolled tbs body to
The window and threw the body |
out, then went down, placed in the wheel
barrow, rolled il to the buggy and carried |
it to the buggy to the barn. 1t had been
