My brother pillowed his black head
My head was as the buttercup.
And then I slept ! slept and dreamed
That We did round the rainbow bend,
And oh. the gold there without end
A very sea Of gold it seemedI
clutched both hands tight full. / cried:
sNow care shall leave my fathers face,
Now want shall never leave its trace
On baby brother at my side"
I wakened with exultaut head,
wakened with . boyiah shout,
wakened with both hands stretched ont
But empty a. mans that's dead.
! still recall my Quivering chin,
For oh, such grief! could not SPEAK
My brother brushed from of my cheek
Some drops Of rain ~ we passed in.
And yet the memory of that day
That dappled rainbow day in June.
That one all-glorious afternoon
When had gold to give awayl
Yes. have gold. Yet am sad.
No father now with anxious brow,
No barefoot baby brother now
To take my gold AID make me glad.
Give back that one brief time of old.
Take all for that one afternoon,
When my warm heart was full of June.
And my wee hands were full Of gold.

It IL intimated that the cordial reception
that the Comte de Paris IL receiving In this
country is exciting indignation among the
Republicans Of France. This IL not strange
in view Of his recent excuse for having
conspired with Boulanger that he always
stood ready to use any means for the ad-
vancement OF the royalist cause. This re-
mark justiies doubt whether his accept
ance Of position on McCiellan's staff was
not prompted by love Of adventure and
. taste for military life rather than any
sympathy for our cause or institutions.
And It is more than doubtful whether there
is not moro Of tuft-hunting toadyism than
gratitude for his war services in the re-
ception generally accorded to him. OF
course this does not apply 70 the military
