Empress Frederica's Unpopularity &.

The Empress Frederick, it is said, will
not return TO Berlin with her daughters
until next April, and will possibly post
pone her visit even longer. It is little
wonder that she has no desire to seek an
asylum in the Prussian capital. l re
member her last drive along the Linden,
after the death of the En- peror, at time
when the papers and the court ring still
accused her of having plotted to obtain
the dictatorship with the cunning in
trigue of Pompadour. Hardly man
turned about, scarce a hat was DOTTED as
the carriage passed along the famous
street where, as Crown Princess, she had
received the homage of all. A half-year's
absencs has not changed matters al
though few Liberal papers have dared
to write paragraph in her favor.
The nobility speak of her still with bitter
ness. The passport to popularity in the
salons OF the upper ten is abuse of the
Empress Frederick, and stories deroga,
tory to her character are applauded with
the vigor attendant upon anecdotes pre-
judicial to the French. 1t is difficult TO
believe that party spirits, or personal
spirits, as it is in this case, can
reach such pitch. The people of Berlin
do not wish the Empress 30 make that
city her home. Where so much aversion
is manifested it could not be home to
her, and the remnants of her party are
DOW too powerless to reinstate her.
Many of her trusted friends have desert
ed the poor woman, knowing that there
was no preferment to be hoped for and
that the young Emperor looked upon her
intimates with disfavor. In the face of
all this, it would not be surprising if she
had already said farewell to the city
which has treated her so disgracefully.-

| Williams!'
Il can manage him. said, and We
parted
Williams wound was painful and his
pulse feverish, 80 he gladly swallowed a
sopori6c which would keep him quiet for
some hours.
At the proper time got into the boat
indicated, the only men who could pos
sibly see me were those at the wheel, who
were both old members of the crew, and
were prepared, when they knew that
Lloyd was quite overpovered by drink
to alter the course of the ship, and steer
for the headland where the frigate had
been seel. All went easier than had been
anticipated. When / had bee- slowed
away half an hour the boat was lowered,
and in a very little while three men stole
into 1t, cut she rope by which We were
towing, and when the ship had forged
far enough ahead to prevent the phos
phorescence of the oar-dips attracting
attention, began to row in the direction
of the headland.
In two hours time we turned it, an
saw the lights of the frigate, against the
sides of which, in another hour, the boat
grated.
"Who goes theref" challenged sentry.
Medical officer escaped from a coavict
ship which was mutinied."
l will not dwell upon the joy with
which l stood upon the deck, or on the
heartiness of my reception when L had
made my report.
The frigate weighed, and stood out to
sea at once; and in the early morning
came up with the convict ship, boarded,
and took her without resistance.
My evidence sufficed to clear the sea-
men and marines who had been forced in
to pretended compliance with the pro.
jects of the mutineers, as
also some months afterwards,
to secure the execution of all those
who had taken prominent part in the
murder of my poor friend McNab and
Phlpps, seventeen of whom suffered the
extreme penalty of the law at Sydney
Cassell's Magazine.

NAN.
ALGERNoN CHARLES sw1NBURNE.

Before the beginning of years,
There came to the making of man,
Time, with the gift of tears:
Grief, with a glass that ran;
Pleasure, with pain for leayen;
Summer, with flowers that fell;
Remembrance fallen from heaven,
And Madness, risen from hell;
Strength without hands to smile;
Love. that endures for breath;
Night, the shadow of light;
And Life, the shadow of Death.
And the high gods took in hand,
Fire, and the falling Of tears,
And a measure of the sliding sand
From under the feet of the years;
And froth and drift of the sea;
and duet of the laboring earth;
And bodies of things to be
In the houses Of death and birth;
And wrought with weeping and laughter,
And fashioned with loathing and love,
With life before and after,
And death beneath and above.
For day and night aud morrow,
That his strength might endure for a spar
With travail and heavy sorrow,
The holy spirit of man.
From the winds of the north and the soutl
They gathered as into strife;
They breathed upon his mouth,
They filed his body with life;
Eyesight and speech they wrought
For the walls of the soul therein.
a time for labor and thought,
A time TO serve and TO SIN;
They gave him light in his ways,
And love. and space for delight,
And beauty, and length of days,
And night, and sleep in the night.
His speech is a burning fire;
With his lips he travaileth;
In his hearth is blind desire,
In his eyes fore knowledge of death;
He weaves, and is clothed with derision
Sows and he shall not reap;
His life Is a watch or vision,
Between a sleep and a sleep.

LincOln'S Maiden Sneeeh.

Judge Bell, of Mount Carmel, ILL.,, fur
nishes the following maiden speech of
Abraham Lincoln, delivered in Papps
vile, near Springfield, ILL.,, nearly fifty
years ago. Mr.. Lincoln was not then a
lawyer, and had no intention of becom-
ing a lawyer. Ha had then made up his
mind to learn the blacksmith trade. His
first speech was as follows: Gentlemen
and Fellow Citizeps-I presume you all
know who | am. L am humble Abraham
Lincoln l have been solicited by many
friends to become q candidate for the

sweet. 1 am In favor of a national bank

pies. If elected, shall be thankful; if
NOT, it will be all the same"

Moths Attracted by a Lighthouse.

All visitors TO the Isle of Wight agree
that TO stand below the town on a clear
night and watch the brilliant beams from
the light house, reaching 10 the horiz On
in every direction, is one of The most
marvellous sights it is possible to imagine
and, in addition to this, on a warm eve
ming myriads of moths, looking lik
molten void and silver, float by, attracted
by its brilliancy. On some nights, the
keeper told me, they had actually TO sweep
them off the glass, the numbers being sc
great as to partially obscure the light
At times great numbers of birds are
attracted through the same cause.-Har

FARM AND HOME
THE OLD HOME.
CHAMBERS JOURNAL

In the quiet shadows of twilight
stand by the garden door,
And gaze on the old, old homestead,
So cherished and loved of yore.
But the ivy now is twining
Uustrained DER the window and wall:
And no more the voice of the children
Is echoing through the hall.
Through years of pain and sorrow,
Since first l had to part,
The thought of the dear old homestead
Has fingered around my heart.
The porch embowered with roses,
The gables dropping caves.
And the song of the birds at twilight
Amid the orchard leaves.
And the forms of those who loved me
In the happy childhood years
Appear at the dusky windows,
Through vision dimmed with tears.
l hear their voices calling
From the shadowy far away,
And ! stretch my arms toward them
In the gloom of the twilight gray.
But only the night winds answer,
As | cry through the dismal air;
And only the bat comes Swooping
From the darkness of its lair.
Yet still the voice of my childhood
Is ca ling from far away,
And The faces of those who loved me
Smile through the shadows gray.
