Poor Cupid took a walk one day. He felt in
clined TO roam.
And so he thought he'd fly to earth, for this
was once his home;
lie polished up his arrows trim and made
them look quite nice,
And spreading out his wings he dropt among
us in Il trice:
And first he sought a rustic maid as simple
as could be.
''Give me- she said, ''rich silk and gold; no
stupid love for me-"
Poor Cupid sighed. and next approached a
poet stout and old.
'Oh, love is boSh, the poet said. THE thing
we want is gold.'
Then Cupid turned and sought prince who
lay on n couch of gold,
And Cupid brought out his visiting card and
bowed, 50 | have been told.
''Ah! Mr.. Cupid the prince remarked in a
tone OF don't know you,
"And what sir, he said, indifferently, sis the
little amount that's due?''
Poor Cupid blushed TO be thought dun
You mistake sir: I'm Love-. said he
"'Great Scottv' said the prince. Whom did
you say? Pan! you cannot CANNON me.

"But- prince"-"No more; there is the door.

He opened the door and raised his foot and
saw poor Cupid through.

Special letter to the GIope.
New YORK, May Among the most
piquant and soul-Strring items which so
frequently crop up in the English
papers, and are cabled over to our
American journals. the rumors as to
the ultimate bestowal of the heart and
hand of the heir presumptive, Prince
Albert Victor, are, pehraps, the most
startling. For in all human probability
it is on this young mans head that
England's crown will rest at no distant
date, and the girl queen who will sit be-
side him then Will be an object of in
terest the world over-even more so
than his royal mother was when, as the
fair Danish princess, she journeyed
across the seas to wed the youthful
Prince of Wales, who, history tells us,
had just invested in his first razor,
and was called, on account of a
weakly sprout of hair beside each earl
by his irreverent younger brother,
SideboardS. For her chances of ascend
ing the throne have ever been but of
the SlimmeSt. and therefore beloved
though she undoubtedly be by the ma
ton at large, she cannot be so import
ant figure as her daughter-in-law
elect. Whom this is to be, is becoming
burning question, as first one con-
tlnental princess and then another is
announced as the favOrite. AT present
there are two candidates in the field,
and no doubt those who are bitten with
the English love of betting are laying
heavy odds as to which shall carry off
the prize first; there is Princess
Victoria of Teck generally pronounced
the beauty among the unwedded Euro
pean princeSseS, and, it is said is ia
vOred by the prince himself, though his
autocratic old grandmother cannot alto
gether disaSsociate her from the long
standing antipathy which rumor whis-
pers she entertains for the girls moth
er, the duchess of Teck. The other pre-
tendante is one of Victoria's beloved
grandchildren, Princess Margaret of
