The miyt rose from the river,
II sifted through the trees,
Aud wound about the wooded hills
gray and ghostly frieze.
And the wind amid the pine trees nisse'
Its lofty scora of the valley mist
The mist spread over the valley

Der sedge and marsh and meadow
Ger rocks and fairy rings
And the night wind told the trees IL A''''N
Its hate for the low-born valley mist
But when the day was dawning'
The pallid mist grew gold, N
And to the azure DER the hills
In clouds of glory rolled,
While amid the pines, and in its pride,
The soornful night wind sank and died.

Coa Liver OlI.

Cod liver oil is, as its name indicates,
obtained from the liver OF codfi h. It
is an agent which could scarcely be
dispensed with, being nourishing
tonic of exceeding value. Many peo-
pie have an idea that consumption is
one disease for which it is peculiarly
adapted, and they fail to recogn izs the
fact that it is equally efficient in many
other affections. Hence, when physi-
clans prescribe it, patients at once
assume that they have trouble with
their lungs. The accepted list Of dis
eases in which cod liver oil is ofspecial
efficacy is much larger than It was
score of years ago. Undoubtedly ply
sicians in old times, in attempting to
combat disease, often used drugs which
depressed and reduced the vital powers.
doing thereby more harm than good.
All that is changed now; physicians Of
the present may be said to ignore, to q
certain extent, the disease, but nourish

cally food. and as such only does it
act. 1t nourishes and fattens wasted
and wasting bodies. and in that way It
often checks the progress even of pull
monary consumption. Among the

SISTER LEO DEAD.

Exposure Following Her Attempted Escape
From The Convent Tuesday Causes Death.
WEST CHESTER, Pa. March 26.-Sis-
ter Leo, who escaped from the Villa Ma
ria convent and was recsptured a short
distance from the convent, died to-day
from paralysis Of the heart. The sisters
talked more freely to-day about the at
tempted escape. It appears that Sister
Leo came to the convent six months ago
from parish of a Philadelphia church
and took the white veil. Since then she
has been one of the most devoted Of the
order. A week ago she was stricken with
Ia grippe and q day or so later her
brain, it is said, became affected. It
was while laboring under a hallucina-
ton that she leaped from window yes
terday and attempted to escape. DR..
John r. McClurg OF this place, attend
ing physician, substantials the story
told by the sisters at the convent. At
1 O'Clock to-day, Sister Leo died Of
paralysis Of the heart. Her death was
entirely unexpected, and was caused by
exposure yesterday.

ual head or the Russian church, is
sovereign of the country in which
the established church is Evangelical
Lutheran. In this respect the car and
queen of England hold similar position,
but the religious situation in England
and Russia is, of course, radically differ
ent. All the circumstances tend TO give
color to the belief now prevalent in Fin
land that the pledge of Alexander 1. is
soon to be broken, and that
the liberties of the country are
to be ground under the common
despotism, which prevails throughout
the remainder of the empire. So strong
is the belief that emigration from the
country has received a tremendous i'm
pulse. and already within the past year
exceeds that from Sweden by many
thousand.
Another motive for Russian Jealousy Is
the close relation between the ruling
classes of Finland and Sweden. Swedish
is the official language of Finland. The
language spoken by nearly all better
GLASSES of people. Even to-day Swedes
regard the loss of Finland in much the
same spirit as the French do the sever
ance of Alsace and Lorraine.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The Oxford Cambridge Boat Race is
Witnessed by a Large Crowd.
Parnell Accepts the Apology of the Exeter
Gazstte-The Emperor and Bismarck
Have Farewell Conference
Thames Boat Race

Special TO the Gazette.
LONDON, March 26.-The summertime
weather to-day brought an immense
crowd to witness the Oxford Cam bridge
boat race. The bridges crossing the
Thames, as well as the banks on
both sides from Putney to Mort
lake, were crowded with inter-
ested spectators and pleasure-seek-
ers, and boats full of excursionists
dotted the stream all along the course.
Most of the boats showed business-lIke
impartiality by flying the colors of both
contestants, but here and there partlsans
of one or the other side appeared in
which dark or light blue, as the case
might be, was exclusively displayed by
the passengers. The town was also
"painted blue,' and the azure color met
the eye at every glance, on omnibuses,
in cabs anG over houses. Doubtless the
crowd OF spectators would have been
larger had the event occurred on Satur-
day, the usual day for it, but the throng
was dense enough to indicate that the
interest taken by cockneydom IN these
tests of skill, strength and endurance
shows no sign of abatement. The time
slower than the best record, and.
neither crew did as good work
in the race as it had been
doing in practice. The fact that the
water was somewhat rough told in Ok
ford IS favor. The dark blues easily took
the lead, and, though some changes in
position occurred in the first stretches,
the visitors were never headed on the
last half of the course.
A NEWSPAPER APOLOGIES.
The Exeter Gazette has rendered Par
nell an apology for its action in re-
publishing from day to day, as
they came out, the charges made
by the Times that the Irish leader con-
nIved at crime. Parnell, who had begun
suit against the Gazette for libel has ac-
cepted the apology as satisfactory and
will cause the legal proceedings to be
dropped.

A Pledge Abou. to Be Broken.

LONDON, March 26-Fro1a Finland
comes the news that the car is preparing
to abolish the liberties of that country
where for eight years the spectacle has
been presented as free state, the
subject of the most despotio power in the
civilized world. 1t was in 1880 that the
first Alexander-he who Vanqui shed
Napoleon and dictated the peace of
Vienna-gaVe solemn pledge that he
would respect the constitution of FIN
land, then newly a subject of Russia.
So far the pledge has been kept by Alex
ander and his successors. although
a similar promise made to Poland
by the same Alexander was
promptly violated. The czar is grand
duke of Finland and the head Of the state.
He appoints for life members of the SEN
ste or upper house, whose duties are
those of high court Of justice and ad-
ministrative council, legislative authority
being vested in the diet, an elective
body in which all classes of people are
represented, and which is called together
every five years. It is the existence Of
this landtag or parliament that
excites the jealousy and animosity Of the
ruling powers Of Russia. Russian people
who, notwithstanding all distractions
and restrictions, are every day growing
more intelligent, and have before them
remarkable example of the subject and
conquered province enjoying a constitu-
tional government, while they them
selves are absolutely denied any voice in
their own affairs. They have also before
them the fact that the czar, spirit
