have found her racy lips,
And her graceful finger tips,
But haw or berry,
Glimmers of her there and here,
Just, forsooth, enough to cheer
And to make me merry.
Often on the ferry rocks
Dazzling dimples of loose locks
At me she hath shaken,
And I've followed-all in vainl
They had trickled into rain,
Sunlit, on the braken.
Once her full limbs flashed on me,
Naked, where some royal tree
Powdered all the spaces
With wan sunlight and quaint shade
Such haunt romance hath made
For haunched satyr races.
There, know. hid amorous Pan;
For sudden pleading ran
Through the maze of myrtle,
And rapid violence tossed
All its flowerage-'twa the lost
Cooings of turtle.

Prime Minister Of Cape Colony, is
well known to be one Of the ableSt
and most successful OF those who are
seeking to extend the dominions of
the Queen, and much weight must
be attached to his utteranceS on i'm
perial affairs. He has just been max
ing a speech on British policy in
Africa, in which he explicitly declares
his intention to make the Zambesi in
stead OF the Orange River the north
ern boundary Of Cape Colony. This
means the absorption OF the Orange
Free State and the Transvaal repub-
lie, which are now independent, be-
sides MaShonaland and Matabeleland,
which are already under British pro-
lection, and threatens Gazaland.

Africa. No doubt Mr.. Rhodes means
what he says and will presently set
out to do it, The Orange State aud
the Transyaal will have to be secured
by treaty. and that should not be

about all the progress and enterprise
they have to- England. MatabeIeland

which occurred in 1866, when, Mime.

the Southern Confederacy to the EN-

the sacrifices and privations the
South was called upon to bear. The
Princess asked the Emperor if he felt
so much for the South, why he had
not helped the Confederacy. His re-
ply was: "Cousin Kate, you all had
my warmest sympathy and hopes for
your success; but on account of slav-
cry | did not dare to send an army to
your assistance. Had l done so, 1
should have had a mob in Paris"
Nine Murat spoke of the Empress as
a person OF lovely character, being
constantly employed in deeds of be-
nevolence. even visiting the hospi-
tails The Prince Imperial she spoke
of with much affection, he being then
most interesting youth.
