An Easter Song.

Sing a song OF Easter,
A song OF happy hours,
or dashing spray, and shadow play,
And lovely springing flowers,
OF birds come home again 10 build
Beside the cottage caves.
OF waking buds, ana rushing foods,
And dance OF rustling leaves.
Sing a song OF Easter,
A song that means prayer,
or want and love 70 One above
Who keeps His world in care;
A song for all on this green earth.
For dear ones passed away.
Sing clear and strong the joyful song,
The song of Easter day.
Sing a song OF Easter.
A song of pure delight
A song that starts in merry hearts,
And swells from morn till night;
An Easter song that children lift
without Earring chord,
That thrills afar from star TO star,
To praise the children's Lord.

DECEIVED A KING.
Ar American Magician Who Once Per
formed Before Burmahs Ruler.

Az American Magician Who Once Per
formed Before Burmah's Ruler.
Kellar, the magician, had a peculiar
experience in the east once, which
came near ending his career, or at
least combining it TO the limits of Bur
nah. While performing in India,
where he is always assured of great
patronage, the Hindoos being much in
terested in magic and no mean experts
themselves, he had an invitation to APP
pear before the young king of Burmah
Accordingly he made the trip up the
Rangoon river to Mandelay, the then
capital of the country. There great
palaver took place, the ministers of the
king demanding that Kellar and his
assistants should appear before his
majesty barefooted and kneeling, as
was the native custom. This he OBJ
jected to on the ground that he could
not perform his tricks in that posture,
so an exception was made in his case.
ION the day of the exhibition" re-
lates the magician, 1--WE entered
large room where all the court was
kneeling. The king and his harem, SO
we were informed. were concealed be-
hind a screen, where they could see
but not be seen. Accordingly we went
through such tricks as we could do
under aese conditions, not being per-
mitte0 - take things from the specta-
tors pockets, as is the present custom.
Throughout he performance there
was not sound so we could not tell
whether we had pleased or failed But
at its conclusion a grave minister in
formed us that the king was SO highly
pleased that as special favor he would
permit us to look upon his face. So the
screen was withdrawn and there sat
the king, little, dried-up looking fell
low, surrounded by his wives, the lat
ter reclining. Then he offered me the
position of court entertainer, and posi-
lively would not hear of our leaving
until we had given another perform
ance.
They entertained Us in most lavish
style, loading us down with presents,
besides paying about 81, 500 in our
money for each performance. As an
other additional favor we were permit
ted to look upon the sacred white ele
plant, a dirty little beast, which was
kept in such luxury that no wonder he
became conceited and vicious. In fact,
they did everything possible to keep us.
but / wanted to get away and began
to fear that would have to spend the
rest of my life in Burmah. Chicago

Pasquier in the recently published first
volume of his Memoirs" the eldest

title of grand duchess. She made her.
self beloved there and this fortunate
province owed to her gentle treat
ment denied all other countries then
united with France. She has left
pleasant memory behind her, in spite
of the irregularities of her private life,
VIII ch she did not take sufficient care
to conceal.
The Princess Pauline, wife of Prince
Borghese, was perhaps the most beau
tiful woman of her time and she
rardly dreamed of giving promi-
nence TO any other advantage than
this one. She had been to Santo Do
mingo with her first husband, Gen. Lee
clerc. The sun of the tropics had, thev
do say, been astonished at the ardor of
her dissipation. The fatigue conse-
quent upon such an existence shattered
her health, and for long time she was
carried about in litter. In spite of
her poor health, she was none the less
beautiful.
1t remains for me to speak of Caro-
line, the wife of Murat and queen of
Naples. who bore a great emblance
to the emperor. Less beautiful than
Pauline, although endowed with more
seductive charms, she possessed the
art, without being any more scrupulous
than her sisters, of showing greater
respect for the proprieties; besides,
all her tastes vanished in the
presence of her ambition. She had
found the Naples crown somewhat
too small for her head and greatly
coveted the Spanish one, but in the
end she became resigned to her fate
and wore with good grace the one
which had fallen to her lot; it may
even be said that she did so with no lit
tie of dignity.
She was insane enough to believe
that her fortune could Withstand the
catastrophe which swept away that of
Napoleon. In that extraordinary race
the most sacred engageme nts, the deep
est affections. went for nothing as soon
as political combinations seemed to adj
wise ii. Nevertheless each one of it's
members possessed TO the highest de-
gree the family spirit. Caroline took
hand in bringing about the downfall of
her brother, to whom she owned all
her grandeur 1t is perhaps she who
dealt him the final blow.-Chicago

all OF the entertaining in q social
way, aud 1t now forcibly strikes us
that it would be in order for the
young gentlemen to return these
pleasing attentions by giving the
ladies hrstsclass oyster supper

similar suggestion about a year
ago, our young friend, Jim Smith.
took the matter in hand and, Of
course, success crowned his efforts.
Who will be the Moses for the sug-
gested occasion :
We have received from the al.

pages entitled, "a Novel Propo-
sition," showing how the rate of
wages lin manufacturing centers)
and the demand for skilled labor is
influenced by the cost of transport

phlet is Of interest alike to agricul.
ture, manufacture, commerce and
labor, as it advocates a plan for the
more equitable distribution of
wealth. This little work may be
