BY THE LINDEN TREE.

Where the nipples fret on the rivers brink,
The cows come down from the hill to drink,
And the rambling, uumuscal, garruIoas clink
or their bell stopped short. What is this they
AT the bowlder brown by the linden tree
Two lovers laughing light heartediy.
They are and their bell-note is distant sweet
The woodpecSer startles the still retreat
Where heart keeps time with the rippe's beat
In cadence deep, for he sees, with pride,
His loved one leap 10 her paddles and ride
Into the sweep of the blue midtIde.
Her fingers release the languid oar
For last little kiss to be tossed ashore
With gay good night" and the oaks encore.
And never. he thought, had echoes found.
Nor the woodpeckers touch, nor the oaks resound,
Nor the cowbeIrs tinkle, sweet sound.
But the lord of that stream, the boreal breeze,
Summering, sguntering down by its trees,
EnvlouSy the sweet girl sees
Pushing alone into his domain
And while he signs and earesses in vain,
Flinging her kiss TO mortal swain.
As many desperate lover hath.
He lets his longing rise to wrath,
And lifting the maiden from his path,
Embraces her, signs complaining "adieu,"
And full in the eyes of her lover true
he stills her cries in the midStream blue.
All yet new note has the old cows bell
As she alnbles hOlne-a quaint funeral knell-
Ana sad is the story the villagers tell
OF one coming to tryst in her dainty boat,
OF the ribbons OF moss that encircled her throat,
when reached her too late, by the willows afoat
The cows at the brink by loud bells led.
The woodpecker pounding his drum overhead,
And the manlac's walls waken echoes dread,
But haggard aud thin and broken. prone
Under the linn by the lichened stone,
AS dea to the din, he is dreaming alone.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30-Everything of
this week has been forgotten with the start
ling news of Secretary WINDOWS death last
night in New York. 1t was as dramatic as
anything in war times for the President to
appear with blanched and serious face at
Postmaster General Wanamaker's house,
and with few low words transfix the host
with horror. In the rooms filed with
laughing and beautifully dressed women,
the two men looked and saw Mrs. Window
and her daughters chatting merrily with
their neigbbors. First Mrs. WINDOWS
guest Miss Colgate, was drawn aside and
told the terrible news, and asked to assist
in getting Mrs. Window and her daughters
quickly TO their home. 1t needed 10 effort
for Miss Colgate to feisn Illness, aud
blanched, gssplng and trembling she
was assisted to the carriage by the
three Window ladies, who were all
the way distressed and concerned at
Miss Colgate's pitiable condition. The
President and Mr.. Wanamaker followed
after their carriage, but when they entered
Mrs. Windows house few seconds behind
her, the news had been told by a near

time aerostation had become the rage of the
world, and In every country experiments
were being made, but all looking to the sue

principle, and that was to remain in suspen-
sion In the air, drifting AT the will of the
currents OF air. Scarcely philosophical or
scientific society In tho world could be found
that was not dabbling in the mysteries of
aerostation. Nobility and commoners met
on equal grounds. The fire and the air
were called, each had their advocates, and
thousands of pounds sterling were spent in
building balloons. On February %, 1884,

duet of crowd at a garden at chelsea,
which destroyed the fire-balloon OF French
man named De Moret, who had announced
an assent on August 18th, but was unable TO
keep his word, led to the withdrawal OF the
leave that had been granted. Ultimately,
after some difficulties had been arranged,
he was permitted to ascend from the Ar
tillery Ground, ard on September 10, 1874,
the initiation with hydrogen gas took place.
1t was intended that Mr.. Biggn, an English
gentleman, should accompany Lunardi, put
the crowd becoming impatient the latter
judged it prudent to ascend with the
balloon only partially full rather than
risk longer delay, and accordingly
Mr.. Biggin was obliged to leave the car.
Lunardi therefore assembled alone, In the
presence of the Prince Of Wales and an
enormous crowd of spectators. He took up
with him pigeon, dog and cat, and the
balloon was provided with oars, by means
of which he hoped. to raise or lower 1t at
