In Lady Burton's life of her husband she
tells of a friend of his, known popularity as
Bob Campbell, who, having taken it into
his head that it was very silly to have to 90
to the expense of coffin and not to utilize
it during his life, had himself measured for
one, a nice oak and brass affair, the plate
having name and everything usual on il
except the date, for which blank was left
He had it fitted up with shelves across the
or bottles or any other thing. On its ar
rival at his house in heaTse, with mutes
and all, there was something of "A scene. but
as Bob had arranged all this beforehand
for the sake of effect he took it quite coolly,
and when the coffin was fetched in he
propped il up on end against the wall like q
little cupboard.

GEL MS IN VERSE.


White ROBBED the poutifI meditative sought
with glance inquisitive to know
How passed the sage TO death below.
"Did lac repent by word OF sign or thought"
Answered the grave faced messenger with
grief:
"Nor word nor sign repentance proved.
He passed as If to pass he loved,
Nor weighed the worth Of doubt or belief
"Tbrough the dark portals, without faith OF
fear,
Peaceful, sincere and calm, he passed.
As once from cloister, doubt o'ercast
In youth he wandered, holding truth so dear"
"'Tis better" said the white faced pontiff,
mild;
External bliss no words decide;
All hearts sincere with God abide;
Thus are divine and human reconciled."

order only would be obSyed, AS he had fix
ed the nature and duration of the punish
ment. The culprit was suffering cruelty,
and the princess severed the cords which
pound him. fed him from the colonel's
mess and sent him to his quarters. .Salm-
Salm never learned Of the affair until the
war was over, for the adiutant was afraid
TO reveal it, and the poor fellow was so
grateful to the princess that he promptly
obeyed the obnoxious order, and the colonel
supposed that the punishment had brought
him to terms.
Before coming 10 America the prince
had been n soldier in his native country,
Prussia, and also in the army of Austria.
The enterprise of the Austrian Prince Max
imilian in MeXico was in its height when
the war ended in the United States, and

perial cause His services We're accepted,
and he was appointed on the staff of the
emperor. The princess joined him in the
City of Mexico, ready To share the trials
and adventures of her husband and the
hapless emperor to the end.
Soon after the princess reached camp

to the commandant of the detachment, o

agreed TO take her along, making the pro
riso that she should keep cool, carry

troops came TO close quarters, To this
severe trial C GOODNESS she proved equal
and rode at the front with the leaders rs
ready and self possessed in the fire of bat
tie as she had been in the counsels of di-

abandoned the City of Mexico and re
tired 20 the interior town of Queretaro,
the princess was left behind with the
German garrison. This separation from
Maximilian's suite led 10 several startling

In that sweet interlude that falls between
Waking and sleeping when all being is seen

Among the thoughts, and the thoughts go astray

Dead almost half my life, appeared to lean
Above me, a boy in a house far away

A Rude disappointment.

Country lawyers are often forced by the
scarcity of business to look very sharp for
opportunities to draw up wills and per-
form other 'Iegal' services. A stranger
of mature years-a carpenter-who had
come to certain town to work at his
trade, was asked several times by local
lawyer if no did not think he had better
make his will. At last the carpenter took
the delighted lawyer aside and said to him
with an important air:
II amt quite ready to make my will,
but when am I'll let you do It,"
"Goodl But now's the time to draw 1t
up" I.+e ..

"None whatever. But I ain't-I'll tell
it to you particular-I amt going to leave
either one of them a cent neither"
"Now, why is that, pray?"
"Because haven't got cent to leave
to anybody"
Whereupon the lawyer hastily took his
departure and troubled the carpenter no
more about his will.-Youth's Compan-

A HUNGRY MAN FROM THE GRAVE.
Jules Garlic Kicked Out of His Coffin and
Sat Down to Breakfast, 81


Sat Down to Breakfast. @
While Jules Garlic sat in a restaurant
awaiting his ordered breakfast at Vest
minister, B. c., he suddenly died-at least
there was every physical evidence of death.
A competent physician examined him and
pronounced him dead, victim of heart
disease. He was laid out for burial, and
his friends kept the usual vigil over his
body. ~ *.-. @
All the time he was keenly conscious Of
what went on about him and could realize
the fate in store for him and yet was as
helpless as If he had been really dead. In
the afternoon of the next day his friends
bore him in sadness to the graveyard. He
suffered untold agonies lying in the coffin,
with the lid fastened down. He tried in
vain to move or make noise to indicate
that he was alive. The trance held him q
deathlike prisoner. Finally he could feel:
himself being lowered into the grave. As:
the first clod of earth struck the lid of his
coffin he began feeling warm blood pulsat-
ing from his heart. All at once he could
move his hands. He struck the coffin lid
and called out for help. The alarmed pail
bearers stopped shoveling dirt into the
grave. He called again. The majority OF
those present beat hasty retreat, alarmed
over the fact that the dead had come to
life. H. v%s %
One courageous friend unscrewed the
lid Of the coffin and helped him out. He
never felt better in his life and ran about,
exercising his benumbed limbs. The peo-
pie believed they had witnessed miracle.
He returned to town and entered the res
