The Immortal Soul.
VICTOR HUGos MEMORABLE IMPROMPTU
REPLY TO THE ATHEISTS,

VICTOR HUGo's MEMORABLE IMPRoMPTU
REPLY TO THE ATHEISTS.
At dinner given to Victor Hugo in
Paris, some years ago, says L'Uniuers, he
he gave expression to his faith in the in
finite and to the souls immortality. His
friend, Houssaye, who was present says:
Hugo at that time was a man of steel,
with all the agility the suppleness, the
ease and grace of his best years" He was
contradicting the atheists, and his friend
says 'his face was bright with the heaven
ly halo and his eyes shOne like burning
Goals"

Think Of Me.


VIII YOU think OF me when the present day
Shall be numbered with the days of yore;
OF the bright neeting hours we passed away
In the DAYS that will come no more,
When life was new aud the world was fair,
Ere our hopes were blasted by sorrow and
care.
VIII you think of me when the gay social band
Together for pleasure shall meet.
And ardently tender affections warm hand
Or please you with compliments sweet,
When you find yourself fatiered by the gallant
and free,
Say. then will your mind ever wander to mei
VIII you think OF me when In thoughtful mood
You mediate all alone,
Or stray midst the bows OF the green shady
wood
Where friends who may greet there are none!
When In pensive seclusion. say, then shall
there be
One glance Of remembrance devoted 10 me.
Oh, the cruel ords we could never recall!
We were both too proud to give In;
But il turns all sweets OF my life to gall
When think " hat might have been.
our lives should have mingled ike flowers on
tree
or streams that unite on their way to the Sea.
DO you think Of me, can you ever forget
The locket YOU gave me iuclosing your face:
II has often been bathed in tears OF regret.
But the steps we have taken We cannot re-
trace;
There are wounds OF the spirit that never will
heal.
For word, that sre cruel wound deeper than
steel.
Oh We who are dear TO each other. beware.
For love. like n flower that is nipped BY the
frost,
May wither snd perish II lacking your care
II will blossom no more II its fragrance is lost.
1t can brave All the trials that life can supply.
But scorned or neglected. may wither and die.

this about $100,00O,00O is in the

whose fnanciers do not know at
what hour the Car may make a
call for it. While some persons
think that Russia is boarding this
gold in preparation for an aggressive

is that the Car and his Ministers
know better than to risk a cam

Car would be likely to lose not
only his gold and his armies, but
possibly his crown.

laws, rules and regulations, in so far as
they restrict or interfere with the free ex-
ercise by the President of heads of depart
ments, of the power to remove or appoint
officers or employees of the government.
The preamble to the bill says that no ad-
ministration can fully aud satisfactorily
carry the policy into execution, if a large
portion of the subordinate officers are hos
tile to such policy
The demand for the regular order was
made by Kigorc of Texas, and prevented
