our great buildings, and think nothing

Paris is apt to be the great size of the
buildings in the residence portions of the

Oh. long and long ago
For girls TO look1iko lilies white,
And sit at home and sew.
Forth strode their sturdy brothers,
On many gallant quest;
But the maids behind the lattice
Their weary souls possessed.
To-day the times have altered,
And pretty Kate and Nell
Are playing merry tennis
In sooth they do 1t we'll.
They ride across the country.
They climb the mountain side,
And with oars that feather lightly,
Along the rivers glide.
II they've not yet been to college,
They are going by and by,
To shake the tree Of knowledge,
Though its branches touch the sky,
For all their Greek and Latin,
And poring over books,
With faces smooth as satin,
They'll keep their dainty locks.
Do you want a happy comrade.

Aid the girls Of ninety-one.
She'll keep that bright head steady,
Unharmed in any whirl,
And not lad viii love her lees

NO REASON FOR THE ACTION.
The Times Democrat Democrat says that
there is no reason for this action Italy and
the United States are and should continue on
the best of terms. There has never
been the slightest unpleasantness be-
tween the two countries. The Ameri-
can people unanimously sympathized with
the movement which reunited Italy
under its present kingdom. and have ever
since entertained the warmest friendship for
il. To break this friendship over an affair
like that of the parish prison is discreditable.

sonal interest in political affairs so far AS they
DO not pertain directly to his department

country must soon understand that Mr..
Blaine AS a candidate for President in 1892 is
out Of the question. for should he live year
and a half more the excitement attending
such candidacy would be certain death.
Indeed Mr.. Blaine has said more than
once o. intimate friends during the past lew
weeks that his only hope is 20 live until his

with this hope realized he will be content 10
close his public career. For this reason 1t IS
