Rns.effis Grave.

The other day I visited the grave Of
Dante Gabriel Rossett who sleeps his
last sleep i'm the pretty old church-yard OF
Birchington-on-S and J was surprised
and sorry 10 find that. although the great
poet and painter has only been dead these
last eleven years, there is an unmistak-
able look of neglect about his tomb.
True. the handsome cruciform monument
of white sandstone and ornamcnted with
many interesting symbolical designs ana
figures is still in pretty good order
Though even here signs OF coming de-
cav are easily discernible); but the mound
which covers Bossetu's remains has al
most entirely disappeared. doubtless trod-
den away by the many visitors who from
time to time come and pay homage to the
illustrations artists resting-place. This
state Of things ought speedily 10 be RENE
died and / suggest that an iron railing be
placed around the grave, for that would
be the mos. effectual way Of preventing
future visitors from rutnleasly treading
down the glass and flowers Dante Ga
briel Rossetd was so great and famous
man that IT would surely be disgrace
that his tomb should ever be allowed to
fall into dilapidation.-Pal Mall Gazette.

If his rifle was all right he would take

What's this? His further progress is
suddenly barred by a chasm SO wide that
a deer would not attempt TO Jump IL, and
so deep and dark that a shudder passes

tree as they close I'm on him. Captivity
means insults blows. death at the stake.
The chasm before him means only death,
and that will come quickly. The bronze
of his face fades away and he catches
his breath like one in pain, but the weak
ness passes away In ten seconds and his
eyes fash and his fingers clinch. The In
dams are not 100 feet away when he hurts
a shout of defiance at them ana turns
and disappears. They rush forward with
shouts OF surprise and horror, but no
sound comes up from the yawning gulf
before them. They bend forward and try
10 pierce the darkness with their Keen
ewes. but the black shadows hide their
victim and no faintest sound comes up
out OF the awful depths. Here are the
victorious warriors, down there some

Queen Victoria has evidently pondered
well on the saying that man must eat to
live. At Bamoral, where she lives IN the
simplest possible way, she begins her
day at o'clock with tea, chocolate or
coffee. and dry toast. At $3.50 she has
breakfast small trout freshly caught
from the river Dee being an invariable
dish. Al 1890, after her morning outing,
she has little refreshment-an egg beat

fruit She lunches at p Later in the
afternoon tea, and between s and dinner
Is served. Thus on six meals a day does
her Majesty manage to sustain nature.
