The AuRel,s Gift,

An angel determined gift to bestow That would gladden. the hearts of us mor-
 tals below. Then large precious jewel she took from
 her crown And commissioned a oherub to carry 1t
 down. Remembering the genius to whom 1t was
 sent, He straightwsy to w. P. Emerson went. That musical wizard, as soon as 1t came, Made of it piano and gave 1t its name. For beauty and strength, for touch and for
 tone, These pianos, unrivaled, are equaled by
 none. One day, when the angel was reclining st
 ease In the garden celestial, mid flowers and
 trees, Soft melodies Hoated way up from the
 earth And mingled with music of heavenly birth "Ah, these are the tunes," said she in sur.
 prise, "The morning stars sang and thrilled Par
 adise '"

An Unlucky King.

Paris Correspondence London Truth
 The king of the Belgians said to friend of mine who asked him to stand godfather to an infant son: "I should feel delighted did not feel in vein of i'll luck, and un- lucky people should be avoided" He said to another person ''The world has no idea what an evil influence tracks me-" His sis ter Charlotte is 6 lunstic; he lost his son; he adopted his nephew, and he died also. The Princesse Clemantine, his daughter, has never got over the horror of seeing her governess perish in tNe fire at Laeken Pal ace, which destroyed the building and end less family relics, papers and treasures of all kinds. The tragedy of Meyerling wss, perhaps, the greatest blow of all. One son. in-law perished in it, and the other came out of it black sheep at the court of Aus tris. The Congo state is not what the king had hoped 1t was going to turn out, and has impoverished him. The burning of his papers in the Lssken fire has thrown his affairs into disorder. It would nov seem as though his crown were to go down in the hurly burly of Socialist revolution and Belgium to be again the cock pit ot France and Germany.

Nearing Perfection.

In the growth and perfection of appli- ances which make railway travelling luxu- rious and comfortable the people of the United States have noted with much pride the progress that has been made in recent years. We have been for many years much better off in this regard than have the peo- pie of Europe. In the old countries the tracks have been so much more solidly and substantially built that until recently we have been behind Europe in the speed at which trains could be moved over the rails. This state of affairs has, however, been remedied. The great four-track New York Central and Hudson River railroad has been patiently spending enormous sums of money upon the improve ment of its roadbed, till to-day, with steel rails of massive size and weight, bridges and cu1verts of steel and solid masonry, block signals, and tracks bal lasted with broken stone, 1t can challenge any country in the world to compete with 1t. In point of fact, the traveller In Amer ica today, going west from New York via the New York Central, has his choice of five great limited trains. on each of which he may enjoy the 1uxuries of . palatial home, or completely equipped husineas office and be whirled over the country at . rate of speed uniformly higher than is known anywhere else in the world, while at the same time he can keep thoroughly informed as to the state of the market and on all essential matters pertaining to his business. Truly, we are luxurious peo- Dle zs7.
