The Versatile German Emperor.

William II. is undoubtedly the most
remarkable sovereign of the present
time. He is a modern man, notwith-
standing certain proclivities which still
adhere to him, like pieces of the shell
of an egg from which the bird has
issued. With restless activity he seizes
upon all questions which agtate our
time, be they large or small. To-day
he speaks on great European affairs,
opens new issues to German commerce,
and proclaims social reform; tomorrow
he opens an art exhibition and takes
personal part in the performance of
Wildenbruch's patriotic drama, The
New Lord" He presides over his
council and shows himself a ready de-
batter, opens a scholastic conference,
laying down his educational plans, and
indefaigably travels over his country
in order to see everything with his own
eyes. Much in all this may be at
tributed TO his active temper, but
the moving principle is undoubtedly
the high conception of his duty as
" the first servant of the state" This
conception is bound up with strong
consciousness of his eminent position;

auces, caused by high consciousness
of his power, abselutist tendencies on
the part of the emperor! He is a con-
stitutional prince and has rigidly re.
spected parliamentary rights. But in a
time when the principle of authority
and order is undermined in many ways.
the youthful sovereign feels that he is
the center of monarchical discipline,
without which the state can neither
exist nor progress, and he is resolved
to maintain his authority against social
democrats as well as against interested
coalitions of privileged classes and per-
sons.-Priry Councillor Gttcken, IN

Old ViOlins.

The great makers, all of whom
lived within the compass of a hundred
and fifty years, were, in the first place,
particular about the wood they used.
That was rare which exactly suited
them. They chose it from the few
great timbers feled in the South Tyrol,
and floated down in rafts-pne and
maple, sycamore and pear and ash.
They examined these to find streaks
and veins and freckles, valuable super
ficially when brought out by vanishing.
They learned to tell the density of the
pieces of wood by touching them; they
weighed them, they struck them, and
listened to judge how fast or how slow
or how resonantly they would vibrate
in answer to strings. Some portions of
the wood must be porous and Soft some
of close fibre. Just the right beam was
hard to find; when it was found, it can
be traced all through the vioins of some
great master, and after his death in
those Of his pupils. The piece of wood
when to their mind was taken home
and seasoned, dried in the hot Brescia
and Cremona sun. The house of S radi-
varius, the great master of all, is de,
scribed as having been as hot as an
oven, one being soaked through and
through with sunshine there In this
great heat the oils thinned and sim
mered slowly and penetrated far into
the wood, and the varnishes became a
part of the wood itself. They used to
save every particle of the wood, when
they had found at last what they liked,
to mend and patch and inlay with it.
So vibrant and so IT sonant is the wood
of good old violins usually, that they
murmur and echo and sing in answer
to any sound where a number of them
hang together on the wall, as if rehears-
ing the old music that once they knew.
1t was, doubtless, owing to this fact that
when the people could not account for
Paganini's wonderful playing, they de-
clared that he had human soul impris-
oned in his violin, for his violin sang
and whispered even when all the strings
were off. There have been expert
ments made with all sorts of woods by
the various makers. An earl of Penn
broke had one made of the wood of the
cedars Of Lebanon, but it was so dense
as to deaden vibration, and it proved a
observation-disclosures Young PEG.

The End of Sitting Bull.

Doubtless one of Sitting Bulls own
race would call him an unbending
patriot. 1.-The Great Spirit made me an

eral Miles under flag of truce, in the
fall of 1876, when backed up by a
thousand braves. There are, however,
but two goals for the Indians-civili-
cation or humiliation. Sitting Bull
has the latter, as doubtless he would
have preferred. He was killed De-

Unreached by the light OF the suns piercing ray.
There are rocks on the hillside all brown and un
slightly,
Whose hearts are aglow with beauty concealed,
In whose chambers are hung, while the doors are
shut tightly,
A wealth of delight that is yet unrevealed.
There are diamonds and rubies and pearls in their
casket;
In houses unseemly they quietly lie
Still awaiting the hand that shall search natures

And bring out its treasures to gladden. the eye.
But methinks there are gems in the lanes of the
city
All covered with wretchedness, hidden from sight
For these buds that so blighted awaken our pity
Are jewels most precious deprived of the light
In the huts Of the valley, in homes the mountain
In cottages scattered far over the plain,
often find we brightness that rivals the fountain
And hearts are refreshed as is earth with the rain
oft is hidden the wealth of the lives that sur
round us,
While we in our ignorance say they are poor,
And fastening to flee from the thorns that
would wound u.s.
Forgetting the beauty that lies in the flower,
We have read of the sapphire in Heavens founda-
ton,
OF pearls that adorn the fair City of Gold
OF the Jasper and amethyst, gems of the nation
That dwells in the mansions whose wealth is un
told.
But our Father is polishing gems in his creatures
Who sit at his footstool awaiting the hour
of completion; then shining with beautiful feature
They're set with surroundings of glory and power

There is only one way of succeeding
in anything. Have a clearly defined
object or purpose, and keep pegging
away toward its accomplishment. Know
not only what you want to do, but what
you are able to do, and work for it.
Keep your eyes on the future" Bend
all your energies toward the accom-
plishment of the object you have in
mind, and don't allow outside enter
prises to distract your attention from
the goal you have made up your mind tc
reach. -ET- Postmaster General James

Their First Day in Court.

1t is always amusing to watch young
lawyers when they appear in court for
the first two or three times. Either
they are very much frightened and
forget all they wanted to say, or they
are very bold and seem to think that
they can give the Judge more points in
five minutes than he could otherwise
get in half an hour. Some have COM
mitted to memory what they want to
say, and, while they go on glibly with
no obstacle ahead, let the Judge ask a
question and they are swamped, and
founder about hopelessly, unable to
give a coherent answer, until the Judge
gives it up and let's them set back
again to the set speech. And the effect
these young lawyers have on the old
and toughened judges is astonishing.
Some Of the judges are thrown into
their crossest moods by the appearance
of one of the youngsters. They will
make suggestions and ask what the law
is on that point, and what authority
there is for that proposition, until the
ablest lawyer might well wish he was
somewhere else. Other judges are
caused to remember the first time they
themselves appeared with fear and
trembling before some stern judicial
light, and they at once set about max
ing the young fellow feel as much at
ease as possible. They nod approval
and speak encouragingly and refrain
from making any suggestions that
might throw the novice into a furry,
so that he goes away feeling that he
has done pretty we'll after all, and is
rather surprised and panied when he
reads the courts opinion showing
the utter fallacy of his whole argu-
ment.-NeU York Times.

A light from our household gone
A voice we loved is still
A place is vacant at onr hearth,
Which never can be filed.
A gentle heart that throbbcd to. day,
With tenderness and love,
Has hushed its weary ~throbbIngs here
To throb IN Heaven above.
Yes-to the home, where angels are,
Her trusting soul has fled,
Aud yet We bend above the tomb,
With tears, and call her dead.
We call her dead, but all ! we know
She sleeps where living waters flow.
