-wINpow-PANE PICTURES.
From v till dawn, the long night through
Cold winters elfn band

From eve till dawn, the long night through,
Cold winters elfn band
Such pictures drew
As never grew
Beneath the touch of human hand.
In dawn's dim light they family cleaned
On frozen panes, and glimpses seemed
To give Of fairy land.
The boughs of great old trees were bent
With silver sheen; and forth was sent
Afrosty light from distant height.
Where glitt'ring spires appeared to sight,
And far-off castle wall.
Now here at hand, like a silver strand,
Hanging in mid-air fairly,
A drawbridge spanned the chasm grand,
Cleaning before us airily.
A stream flowed down the mountains side,
And cast a silyery spray,
Then dashing on with leap and slide,
With graceful bound and easy glide
It reached the boulders gray,
AND IN deep goTges swept away.
Now Ger the cold, gray landscape came
A wavering light, a pale rose tinge
T~hattouched the leaves and moses fringe
Then slowly grew to ruby flame
Setting the distant peaks aglow.
Melting from frozen heights their snow.
So fairy-land now fades away,
And we may watch in vain.
Our frostmade pictures melt from sign
The drops roll down the pane.

A half ~ssaspoonful of cooking soda,

There's a good deal OF

won't want your money back,

So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works-not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
YOU know, must have some

TALLEYRAND IN BROOKLYN.
His Escape From Violent Death at
the Hands Of Maniac.
From the BROOKLYN EAGLE.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
In the extracts from tho "Talleyrand
Memoirs" published in the January Cen
fury, no mention is made of the escape the
distinguished author of those Memoirs
had from meeting q violent death on
Brooklyn Nights. The incident is related
in the volume Of FrdSer's Mugasipe for
1850, and its accuracy is vouched for by no
less an authority than NJ. Colmache, Talley.
rand's private secretary.
When Talleyrand fed from France at the
beginning Of the Reign of Terror, he sought
O refuge in England. There he remained
unmolested until January OF 1894, when, on
the supposition that he was more intimately
connected with the events that led to the
execution Of Louis XVI. than be cared to
admit, he received an order to quit Eag
land. and, after vainly appealing to the
foreign secretary, he sailed for the United
States, bearing with him letters of intro
duotion to a number of prominent Ameri-
cans, among them one from the Marquis of
Lansdowne to Washington.
He was accompanied In his flight by a
III. de BeaumetZ, with whom, some time
after their arrival in America, he formed
partnership for the purpose Of fitting out
a trading vessel A small ship was
freighted with goods for Calcutta, whittier
the two exiles had resolved to proceed in
search Of fortune, and all that was needed to
enable them to put their scheme into opera
ton was fair wind. which. however, the
elements refused. In the interval caused
by this detention Talleyrand had one Of
what he called his presentiments, and to its
occult warnings, he afterward declared, he
owed the immediate preservation of his
life, salvation from shipwreck, and
that change in his destiny which led to all
the future incidents of his eventtul career.
Disappointment and vexation, preying
upon an irritable temper, drove his partner
mad. Talleyrand saw insanity in his looks
and gesture, out, suffering himself to be led
TO the Heights Of Brooklyn, which overlook
the harbor, he turned upon the maniac, and,
fixing his eyes sterniy upon him, exclaimed
"Beaumetz, you mean to murder me.
You intend TO throw me from the Nights
into the sea below. Deny it, monster, If
you can"
Thus apostrophlzed, the unhappy and con-
scious-stricken maniac quailed beneath the
intensity and sternness of his gaze; cons
fessed that such was mis- design; that the
thought, like a fash from the lurid fire Of
hell, had haunted him day and night; and
finging himself upon the neck of his medi-
tated victim, no burst into tears and i'm
plored forgiveness. The paroxysm had
passed of and tottering reason had resumed
her sway. Beanmetz was conveyed home
aud placed under medical treatment, aud,
speedily recovering. proceeded on his yoy-
age alone, never more b be heard Of.
"My fate" said Tallsyrand, when speak
ing Of this incident Ia after life, "Yas at
