picture of the alternatives of life, or death, to
the reigning monarch of Russia. The lot of
that general of police who was kicked by the

that of the autocrat. Kicking is injurious to
the dignity; but most people will prefer it to
either bombs or poison.

A moments suspense
And the ballet comes on,
The premiere danseuse
And the coryphees fair;
Then the bald-headed man
In the orchestra chair
Upraises at once
With q smile and a sigh
The long double barreled
Lorgnette to his eye.

With keenest enjoyment;

Idly plunged among the roses in her apron, All

Seem intent upon the dyes Of her soft italian

Where the sun goes painting daily,
And the south wind whispers gaily
Something maidens love to hear
If certain one be near.
Has the roaring reeling city with its dearth of
love and pity
Given place to the grace
OF a, a,cornfield's popped face,
With the f1eecy clouds above it and the feet OF

Seeking, mid the bearded grain,

few seconds, and then, breaking off short in
the prayer she was saying, she exclaimed: "Ex-

wreaked adequate vengeance she returned and
