GRANDMA ) PATCHWORK QUILT.

A motley and but meaningless,
To you thing of shreds
And patches-but queer and quaint
I'D curio-its threads
All make clew to lead me down
The labyrinth of time,
And set my grandma's wedding bells
Once more. for me, a-chime.
The air grows sweet, sas with the
breath
OF orange blossoms and 10.
/ seem to see the happy bride
And happy bridegroom go;
all but hear the hearts that beat,
Within each happy breast,
Beneath those bits of grandma's gown
And grandpa's wedding vest.
Nor is it only wedding bells
/ hear, nor orange bloom
That fills the air. The cypress hangs
All heavy, DER tomb;
And sad and far away / hear
Or seem to hear-the bell
1 hat tolls above a lovely head
Laid low the funeral knell.
Ny hand falls tenderly, as on
A grave, whene'er [ touch
That tear-stained bit of baby-blue;
Tho well we know "of such"
AS she, who wore it long ago,
The lIngdom" is, dry-eyed
We cannot see what once was hers,
The little girl that died.
And grandma tells with trembling lips
How old she'd be to-day,
Her rst-born-ifty- five-and thinks
OF childish heart grown gray
With grief. Yet, tho she gives to God
Thanks that her pet ne'er knew
A care, her tears still fall upon
That bit of ''baby-blue."
And SO she follows, one by one,
The friends of other days;
The loved and lost come back to her
Along the patchwork maze;
And ancestors | never knew
Seem ghosts to me no more,
As grandma points the pieces out
Of garments that they wore.
Like storied stones that go to make
Thenames of great men shine
Thro' mists of years, these little bits
OF faded silk combine
That humber lives be not forgot,
To many heart you've built
A monument o tiny blocks,
OF grandma's patchwork quilt.

THROUGH EUROPE.

IN the announcements of marriages
In Spain, the ages of the contracting
parties are always given.
BARRELS of wine, anchors, scythes-
in fact all kinds of merchandise-are
conveyed by the post office department.
IT is the custom for house builders in
Germany to leave small fiat place on
the roof of each house, for storks to
rest and build on.
FRANCE has offered s1oO.O0O,OOO to
King Leopold for the Congo Free State
in case Belgium will not take it, ac-
cording to Berlin reports.
SPAIN has just ordered that all
steamers flying the Spanish flag or sub

GOSSIP OF THE ARTISTS.

The Boston Museum of Art has re-
eeived legacy of fifty thousand dollars
FOR the purchase of modern American
paintings.
AUBREY BEARDsLEY, it is said, has
written play in which the characters
are to assume, as far as possible, the
forms and features of his drawings
BERLIN proposes to have an interna-

head, has the matter in charge.

A SINGLE purchaser in this country
has secured all the original Du Maurier

money as 1t cost Queen Isabella to fit
out Columbus on his voyage, with all
his incidentals and ct ceteras.
HENRI RooHEFoRT, who has just re-
turned to Paris after long exile, has
made fortune, it is said, in dealing in

or six thousand dollars year. His va
rious publications have also brought
him in large amounts of money.
JOHN LA FARCE, the well-known
painter, has by special invitation of the

JAPAN'S GREED.
Comment of a French journal on
the Peace Conditions.

Paris, April 22-The Debats says in
a leader on the situation in the Orient:
"The Japanese occupation of Liao-Tong
Is menace to both Pekin and Corea.
If Japan expects Russia to renounce her
policy toward Corea, she probably has
made great mistake. Moreover, France
will not leave Russia isolated In the
east, and Germany is not disposed to re-
gard indifferently Japan's encroach-
ments. Japan's conditions of peace are
immoderate. Her ambitions ought to
be brought down at once. England will
incur grave responsibility if she sepa-
rates herself from the test of Europe at
this decisive moment. Prior to the ex-
change of the ratifications Japan ought
to see that revision of the treaty is
necessary and effect it voluntarily"
