VIA SOLlTARlA.

Alone walk the peopled city,
Where each seems happy with his OWL
Oh, friends, ask not for your pity
walk alone.
No more for me yon lake rejoicea
Though moved by loving airs Of June.
Oh, birds, your sweet and piping voices
Are out of tune.
In vain for me the elm tree arches
Its plumes in many feathery spray.
In vain the evenings starry marches
And s,lnlit day.
In vain your beauty, summer noWerh
Ye cannot greet those cordial eyes.
They gaze on other fields than ours
On other skies.
The gold is rified from the Golfer;
The blade is stolen from the sheath.
Life has but one more boon to offer,
And that is-death.
Yet well know the voice Of duty,
And, therefore, life and health must crave,
Though she who gave the world its beauty
Is In her grave.
Hive, o lost onei for the living
Who drew their earlier life from thee,
And wait until, with glad Thanksgiving,
shall be free.
For life to me Is as station
Wherein apart traveller stands
One, absent long from home and nation.
In other lands.
And am he who stands and listens
Amid the twilight's chill and gloom,
To hear approaching In the distance
The train for home.
For death shall bring another mating
Beyond the shadows Of the tomb.
On yonder shore bride is waiting
Until come.
In youder fields are children playing,
And thereof. vision Of delight
] sec the child and mother straying
In robes Of white.
Thou, then. the longing heart that breakfast
Stealing the treasures one by one,
III call thee blessed when thou makest
The parted-one.

Origin Of Italics.

Italio letters were first used about
the year 1900 by Aldus Manutius, a
Venetian printer. He observed the
many inconvenience resulting from
the vast number of authorizations
which were then SO frequent among
the printers that a book was difficult
to understand. A treatise was actual
~ written on the art of reading a
printed book and thus addressed to
the learned. By introducing the
italic letter he oontrived an expedi-
emit by which these authorizations
might be entirely got rid Of, and yet
books suffer little increase in bulk,
He dedicated his invention to the
Italian states; hence the name. 1t
has also been distinguished by the
name of the inventor and called the
Aldine. The first book printed in
italics was an edition of Virgil"
printed at Venice by Aldus in 1901.

adventure, which shows that the

spectacle gentleman, with a most
peculiar and unfortunate likeness to
the wanted man. l was much disap-
pointed. Not only had l missed the
party wanted, but had bungled
the job. l was yet in my detective
novitiate, and I got pretty severely
snubbed by my chief.
The very next day while walking
down street, in 1slington this time,
stopped and rubbed my eyes. Here
was my man coming, dressed totally
unlike the stranger of yesterday

round and exclaimed, "You, is it?'
