A MADRIGAL.

Dear, II you knew what tears they shed,
Who live apart from home and friend,
To pass my house, by pity led,
Your steps would tend.
And il you knew what icbilees
Begets, in sad souls, q friends glance.
You'd look UP where my window IL,
As If by chancei
Aud ii you dreamed how Q friends smile
And nearness soothe heart that's sore.
You might be moved to stay awhile
Before my door.
Then, ii you guessed loved you, sweet.
And how my love il deep and wide,
Something might tempt your pausing feet
To come inside.

That Third Party.
Mrs. P. 7. Barnum.

The constant presence of third person
at the fireside and table is especially disa,-
trous in the earlier years of wedlock. The
presence of one who is not '.of ourselves,
may often restrain what is worst in us !.
but alas! it always restraints what is best
There must always be in the most perfect
unions and the best ordered lives some
little friction which will once in a while
find expression. The gentle protest with
which, If alone with your husband. Won
would disarm his righteousness, dies i'm
your throat because of the third person.
The loving caress with which you would
close his lips and make him ashamed
OF himself is as impossible to Won as
you were paralyzed. II misunderstood.

RUBINsTEIN TO LEAVE RUSSIA.
He IL Going Into Exile Along With the
Other Hebrews.
Galignani's Messenger.

OCne1 n0OfSW8s
Galignanis Messenger.
Anton Rubinstein. the famous composer
and king of pianists, is about to quit st.
Petersburg for good. For some time past
rumor has spread that Rubinstein had
resolved to resign his appointment as the
head of the Conservatorium, and the
rumor, discredited for q time, is now con-
firmed by the report of his contemplated
departure from the Russian capital,
which has been for so long time the
scene of his many brilliant triumphs, and
where he has filed the highest post in the
Russian musical world. 1t was only
few months ago that Rubinstein celebrated
the jubilee of fifty years of his musical
career, on which suspicious occasion the
car loaded him with hOnors, whilst from
all parts of the empire sterling proofs
were forthcoming of the nations gratitude
for the signal services he had rendered
toward the development and elevation
Of bitterness that he bids farewell
to his native country at an age when
the scenes of his triumph, one would
imagine, would he most dearly
cherished. To the uninitiated it must
seem strange that Rubinstein, the lion of
a nation, should go into voluntary exile,
fully resolved never again to set foot on
Russian soil, and yet the reason why is
easily explained Rubins,ein, though by
conversion Christian, and professedly an
orthodox one, is of the Hebrew race.
Russian society just now is more than ever
convulsed.by the tenets of the Anti-Semitic
creed, and, such being the case, the fact of
his being born Jew is in itself sufficient
to undermine the popularity he has SO long
enjoyed. The great composer is conscious
that his origin, under existing circum-
stances, affects his social position in st.
made to feel that, in the opinion Of his as
sociates, and in that of the donineering
aristocracy, he is an Israelite, and that,
were all the water of the Jordan used in
his baptism. he would remain one to the
end Of the chapter, the fact, notwithstand-
ing that he is allied by ties of matrimony
being a member Of the Russian aristocracy

A correspondent, whose long letter
contains some things that would not be
profitable reading at this time, calls the
INTELLIGENcER's attention to Washing
ton letter in the Presbyterian Bannrr
touching statement made in the
recent Indian schools discussion.
Bishop Kahn, in one OF his commune
cations to the INTELnGENcER, said Of
Commissioner Morgan that from his
very induction into office Morgan has
shown his anti. Catholic bigotry. Whom
did he appoint as an inspector OF Indian
schools but Protestant minister, Rev.
DR.. Dorchester?" Seeing that DR.. Dor
chester Mas appointed two months
before Commissioner Morgan was, the
correspondentthinks that Commissioner
Morgan's "anti-Catholic bigotry" will
have to be sought in some other direc-
ton. The point is not material.
All men, including bishops, are liable
to err, especially in the hea: OF a contro-
versy. Bishop Kahn would not know
ingly misstate fact. lie presumed

The Pittsburgh Dispatch has found a
welshman, Watkin James, living in
Homestead, who says he is the step
iathor of Henry NJ. Stanley. James
says that Stanley's father was a good
ior-nothing and tho pair separated, the
father taking the boy who was destined
to become famous. In time the lad was
sold to sea captain and drifted to New
Orleans. James married SANKEY'S
mother, his third wife, while her former
husband was living. Before Stanley
went to Africa he visited his father and
mother in Wales, in token q the meet
ing making his mother present Of
$3.50. James never saw Stanley, but has
no doubt that he Is his stepfather.
Mr.. James does not throw any new
and important light Oh SANKEY'S early
life. In view Of all that has been in tho
newspapers about Stanley, including
his recent visit to Pittsburgh, it seems
strange that James has been sOlong dis
covering Stanley. It may be that Mr..

that is good and a great deal that is un-

that the good things are not the things

Ware then followed in an excellent talk
