I-"Romance' for May appears in
new cover which emphasizes its charac-
ter as "a Monthly Magazine of Complete
Stories," and by its skillful use of two
colors not only challenges attention but
commands admiration. 1t now presents
as beautiful and attractive an appearance
as any periodical in the land. The con-
tents of this number are upon the usual
high level of interest and entertainment.
There are seventeen stories, represent
ing writers of this country, Canada,
England, Ireland, France and Germany.
Among the famous authors on the list
are Edgar A. Poe. Alexander Dumas,
Charles Reade, William Carleton, TheO-
dor Korner and Guy de Maupassant.
Recent issues of this magazine have
shown rare ability for compromising
and meeting the wide variety of tastes
among story-readers. The explanation
is found in the announcement that Mrs.
Kate Epson Clark lately became its ed
itor. Mrs. Clark has been for several
years faYorite contributor te the peri
Odical press, and is recognized as dis
eliminating literary critic. Her editor
ship is an assurance that Romance"
will more than maintain its high charac-
for both absorbing interest and purity of
tone. The magazine is issued by RO-
nance Publishing Company, Clinton
Hall, Astor place, Now York. The price
is 25 cents a copy; subscriptions, $3.50
year.

A RAILWAY Mans Opinion.

1t really is something of an experience
to make a trip on the Empire State Ex-
press of the New York Central railroad,
the Easiest regular train in the world"
on americas greatest" etc. The ex-
perience of course does not lie in any
definite sensation of speed, for any one
who has travelled at all has probably
travelled as fast in "spurts." And no
one who has travelled as fast has done it
feeling the speed less; for the track is so
straight for most of the way and the
roadbed so excellent that it is not easy
to realize the speed. The experience
lies chiefly in the mere consciousness
that you are assisting at the breaking of
records-iust as there is delight in see
ing a trotting record broken, though no
man can tell by his eye whether horse
is moving two seconds to the mile faster
or slower. And the fact that no stop is
made from New York to Albany-that
there is no interruption in the steady,
rapid rush for all those 143 miles-is in
itself pleasure. Decidedly he who has
not travelled by the Empire State Express
misses one of the extreme experiences of
this day. 1t may not be supreme next
year, or next month. 1t may be eclipsed
and "fallen from its high estate;" but at
present it holds the field and a man
alights from the cars very self-satisfed
and says 81 have travelled. THE Rail-

OUR HOME.
BY JULIA II. NAY.

Beloved when we Pass away
From this familiar spot,
wonder who will come and stay
In the deserted cot.
Beneath these elm trees who will stand
And think that home is sweet.
When we have gone into that land
Where parted households meet
Oh, who will walk beside tho stream,
&, Or sit beneath the pine,
To Dir, am again life's little dream,
When tits not yours, nor mine
Win some one fell my favorite tree,
Pull down tho messy wall
The things 50 dear to you and me,
Will they destroy them all
Whose name will be on that doori
Whose pictures deck the walls'
Whose feet press roughly on tho floor
Where your dear footstcp falls
And when the years to centuries swing,
Till all we love are dead,
Will any echo backward bring
The words that we have said
! hope the brook down there will miss
An old familiar tune,
When in a happier home than this
We talk with all our own.
For oh, this little home Is sweet,
Each corner is so dear;
Can Heaven without it be complete
would that Heaven were here.
! almost think that from the skies,
II l this home can see,
l shall watch those with envious eyes
Who live here after me-.
"IIusb! hush we shall not care,' you
say,
Dear heart it may be true;
We shall not then. but oh, to day
My life is here, with you.
