Fairfax %shuddered at the bare idea and,
taking the irrepressible Dick by the coat

convinced him Of the necessity Of secrecy,
this time, at least.
When they gained the bush, Fairfax's
breath came faster and harder. He half
hesitated, but only for q moment, and again
steeled himself to this ~sneakdng way Of spy

U AND
A Conversation Which Fairly Represent
the Two Statesmen.

A Conversation Which Fairly Represents
the Two Statesmen.
It was in 1913, while Saxon envoy at Ber-
lin, that Beust first met his future friend
and enemy Prince Bismarck, then a plain
squire, known merely as a rough champion
of ~anti-popular views in the Landtag. Bis
marck was at the time staying with
Savigny, the eminent jurist, and one morn
ing when Beust called on Savigny. Bismarck
came into the room in his dressing gown,
smoking a long pipe. Their conversation
turned on the news just received of the
execution of r. Blum by the Austrian au-
thorities for treason. and Beust having
maintained hat the execution was a mis-
take politically, Bismarck Immediately
struck in with the words: "You are entirely
wrong if I have an enemy in my power ]
must destroy him." Beust adds: II have
remembered the saying more than once"
In that story we AVE the two men well
represented before US, the constitutional
statesman on the one hand, who would win
opinion over, and the authoritative states
man who would drive it by force. They
were different by nature and their duties
led them into antagonism, but nothing
seems to be further from the truth than the
common description of Beust as being ami
mated by envy and hatred toward his more
successful rival. On the contrary, he al
ways speaks of him in terms of personal
liking, n while acknowledge that his
opposition to Gortschakoh was personal as
wen as political, he say that his relations
with Prince Bismarck were always sympa-
thetic. They were never more so than at
Gastetn just before Beust's downfall in
1871. He says he found Bismarck n Of
the most charming companions he eve met,
and that his ideas are not more original
than his expression of them. One Of the
stories he tells of their meeting is very
amusing. Bismarck asked him one day:
"What do you do when you are angryfn
adding, 81 suppose o do not get angry so
often as I do.'' "tI get angry was my

THE WONDERFUL COUNTRY.

There was once q time when, as old songs
prove il,
The earth IVES rot round, but an endless
plain;
The sea was as wide as the heavens above it.
Just millions of miles and begin again.
And that was tie time-ay, and more's the
It ever should endI-when the world could
play,
when singers told of a crystal city
In a wonderful country far away.
But the schools must come, with their scales
and measures,
To limit the visions and weigh the spells;
They scoHed ct the dreamers with rainbow
treasures,
And circled the world in the parallels;
They charted the yales and the sunny mead
Where Ministries might ride for 4 year and q
day;
They sounded the depths and pierced the shsd'
owS
OF that wonderful country far away.
! ,aFor fancies they gave US their microscopes;
For knowledge, arubble of fact and Doubt;
Fing-broken and Gagged, Like o bird from the
tropica,
Romance ct the wandering stars looked ont
Cold reason, they said, is the earthly Eden;
Go, study its springs, and its ores assay;
But fairer the flowers and fields forbidden
OF that wonderful country Tar away.
They questioned the slumbering baby's laugh
ter,
And cautioned its elders to dream by rule;
All mysteries past and to come hereafter,
Were settled uand solved in the common
school.
But sweeter the streams and the wild birds
singing,
The friendships and loves that were true al
way;
The giadness unseen, like q fair bell ringing.
In that wonderful country far away.
Nay, not their reason, or dear illusion,
But truer than truths that are measured and
weighed
Oh land OF the spirit! where no intrusion
From the bookmsn or doubters shall aye DO
madei
There still breaks the murmuring sea to greet
On the shadowy valley and peaceful bay,
and souls that were truest still wait to meet
Us
