WILD FLOWERS.

Oh, beautiful blossoms, pure and sweet,
Agleam with dew from the country wayA
TO me, at work in city street,
You bring fair visions of bygone days
Glad days, when hid in mist Of green
To watch springs delicate buds unfold.
And all the riches cared to CLEAN
We're daisy silver and buttercup gold.
'Tis true you come of a lowly race,
Nursed by TIE sunshine, fed by the showers,
And yet you are heirs to nameless grace
Which fail to find in my hothouse flowers,
And you breGthe on me with your hcneyed
lips,
Till In thought stand on tho wind swept
fells,
There the brown bees hum DER the ferny dips,
Or ring faint peals on the heather bells
fclose my eyes on the crowded street.
shut my ears to the city's roar,
And am out in the open with flying feet
Off, off to your emerald haunts once more.
Eut the harsh wheels CRATE on the stones bS.
low,
And sparruw chirps at the murky pane,
And my bright dreams fade in an overflow
OF passionate longing and tender pain.

STAMBULOFF'S SPIRIT.


Called the Bismarck of the Balkans BE-
cause of His Courage.
The late N. Stambulof, ex-premier
Of Bulgaria, used to be called "the
Bismarck of the Balkans One of his
most dramatic passages with Russia
occurred during the war with Servia.
Prince Alexander had gone out to lead
the Bulgarian army in person, leaving
NJ. Stambuloff i'll charge at homo. It
was clear day, with not breath Of
air stirring, and the roar Of the cannon
was plainly heard in the city. M.
Stambuloff thought the Servians were
winning the day In their anxiety the
Bulgarian ministers applied to the Rus
sian diplomatic agent for advice. That
gentleman shrugged his shoulders and
said it was no affair Of his.
+, "But, urged the Bulgarian minis
ters, "the Servians are almost at our
gates. You could stop them with sin
gle word, if you would" +" "Yes, but
that word will not be spoken. On one
condition only will I stop them, and
that is that your beggar of a prince
shall abdicate at once" "And that, I"
thundered nj. Stambuloff, she will
not do. No, not for 20 Russiasr'
With that NJ Stambuloff sprang into
che saddle and dashed away to the bat
tlefeld, while the Russian agent sent
to his friends to come to his house to
celebrate the defeat Of the Bulgarian
armies. A few hours passed, and then
the Bulgarian foreign minister got a
telegram from M. Stambuloff, dated
On the field of battle, telling of Prince
Alexander's magnificent victory and Of
the utter rout of the Servians. He hur-
ried with it to the house of the Russian
agent, arriving there in the midst of
the festivities. And when he told the
news the representative of the czar, it
is said, ground his teeth in rage. West

Evading the Press Gang.

It was not an easy matter to get
married in press gang times Robert
Miller, Kirkwall man, found this to
be the case. He returned from the
whalefishing one autumn, fully resolved
that he should take unto himself wife.
But the press gang got on his track, and
he soon saw that If he. was to get his
hearts desire he would require to exert
both pluck and perseverance. At length
the fateful night arrived. The company
had gathered, and the minister was in
the house Of the bride, prepared to pro-
ceed with the. ceremony, when the
dreaded press gang made its appearance.
Ladies are not unusually Of a belliger-
ent disposition, but when they saw, as
in this instance, the likelihood Of a
marriage being spoiled by interlopers
they rose up in wrath against them.
They assailed the members Of the press
gang both with tongue and missiles, SO
that these gentlemen. were glad to beat
u hasty retreat. After this little episode
q back window Ct the house was lifted.
and the bridegroom, dressed in woman s
clothes, bounded into the room. The
doors having been barricaded to prevent
a surprise, the clergyman proceeded TO
perform the ceremony, and surely no
bridegroom was over married in such q
strange garh! Miller was never cap
