The Mother Of an Empress Dead.

Both the emperor and empress of Aus
tria were too unwell to go to the funeral
Of the empress mother, who died last
week at the age of eighty-six, having sur
vived her husband nearly four years.
The empress Is now at Istria, and her
medical attendants are very anxious as
to the possible effect of her mothers
death on her mind and health. The Prin-
cess Louise Wilhelmina was a woman
Of strong character and great energy.
She inherited none Of the peculiarities of
the Bavarian royal family, and always
exercised salutary influence on her
daughter, whose eccentricities she often
checked at an opportune moment. She
spent nearly the whole of her life at
Munich, where she was born during the
troubles occasioned by the invasion Of
Napoleon I.-London World.

hours,
When naueht seems set aside for you by fate
To do, while others have far richer dowers.

Oh. then they need not mind the nameless
