Your story and Your poetry.

There is always certain awkward
ness when poet, even a poet covered
with transparent veil Of fiction, intro
duces his own compositions and recites
them aloud. We are irresistibly remind
ed of a scene in "Nicholas Nickleby,''
where the hero is trying his prentice
hand on q sentimental drama, and is
told by his brother actors that he must
introduce a dance for the phenomenon.
Upon my word don't sec how it's to
be done" says Nicholas; but the TRACE
dian says it is obviously easy the dis
tressed lady, having been urged to rouse
herself by the faithful servant, announces
that she will learn to suffer with forth

Itwould be irreverent to say that Mr..
Alfred Austins method Of introducing
his poetry into its setting Of prose at all
resembles the method adopted by the
members of Mr.. Vincent Crummles'
company, bat there is certain ingen-
iousness in his manner of SO doing that
almost allows Of comparison. For in

Twas the only white man during 1876
In equatorial Africa, bnt in 1877, when
only short distance from the Atlantic,
the first missionaries landed on the east
coast in response to an appeal that had
written in 1875 from Uganda. During
the years from 1879 to 1854 missionaries
followed closely my tracks up the Kon-
60. and as hundred influences were in
tho course Of few years enlisted in the
cause Of Africa, Nyassa Land and the
eastern and southern part of central
Africa began TO be studded with Chris
tian missions, and missionaries have con-
tinued to enter Africa ever since, until
now there must be about 800 of them,
and the number is still increasing. They
are not all repnted to be FIRST class men,
but ii is wonderful what earnestness and
perseverance viii do We have only to
think OF Uganda, with its 200 churches
and cathedral and its $4,000 native
Christians, read the latest official reports
from Nyassa Land, and glance at the
latest map Of Africa. to be convinced OF
the zeal, devotion and industry Of the
missionaries
Mission houses do not grow of them
selves. Gospels are not translated into
African tongues nor are converts spon-
taneous products of human nature. / am
somewhat familiar with African facts,
and to me these things represent inn
mense labor, patience and self sacrifice,
but others expect Africans to faIlin love
with the missionary's eyes.
1t is true, though strange, that for the
first six years or so very little visible
effect is produced by missionary teach
ing and influence. The mind of pagan
descendant of innumerable centuries of
pagans appears to be for some time i'm
penetrable TO the Christian doctrine. and
no matter how zealously a missionary
may strive with him, be continues to
present wooden dullness, until by and
by there is CLEAN of interest. He

terest becomes infectious aud spreads
from family to family, and converts

examples furnished by the Waganda.
Wanyassa and Bakongo At the town of
Banza Manteka, for instance, one day
900 natives came to Mr. Richards, the
missionary, and requested to be bap-
tized by him. He had labored among
them many years. but hitherto converts
had been few. The missionary imposed
conditions ON them. He said that they
must first assemble their fetiches, idols
and stores of gin. and destroy all in the
market place And they went forthwith

of the next room, said the general was
busy just then, and asked the secretary
OF war to take seat and wait. Mr..
Cameron sat down and We fell into con-
versation. In a few minutes Mr.. Lin
coin came in and inquired for General
Mcclellan. The officer repeated what
be had said to us, and that the general
was very busy, and Mr.. Lincoln would
have to wait. The president sat down
with US and said, An right, I'll wait"
1.-The secretary of war remarked
that the president ought in some way
to have access TO one of his generals.
Lincoln threw one leg over the other,
as if prepared for long siege, aud
said 'Oh, no. It's all right. My time
is of no special value, and the general

SOLDIERS BUDGET,
A Soldier Of Napoleon.

Most of us nowadays, when thinking
of the Napoeonic wars, consider them
as part of the remote past, and it is diff
fcult to realize that there may be peo-
pie still living who took part in the bat
ties of Marengo, Jena and Waterloo.
But all Of Napoleon's soldiers are not
yet dead, and one man who fought I'M
der the great French general is said to
be living now near Cleveland, o., says
writer in Harper'S Round Table
Whether that is true or not, it is fact
that only recently one of Napoleon's
old warriors died at the Soldiers Home,
Kearney, N. j.
His name was Henry Mueller, and he
was born in Germany in 1894, and
when the French armies invaded Prus-
STA Mueller was fifteen years old. With
many of his compatriots he was drafted
into the grand army, and marched off
to Russia to fight the Cossacks and The
cold. He was at Moscow, and tramped
all the way back in the disastrous re-
treat, suffering untold tortures, and
seeing his fellow-soldiers falling in the
snow almost at every step. But Muel-
Ter kept up, and lived to get back into
Germany, and to fight at the battles of
Bautzen, Leipsic and finally in the
great battle at Waterloo.
After Napoleon had been captured
by the British and sent to the lonely
island at St. Helena, and the great
armies of Europe had been disbanded,
Mueller took ship and came to the
United States. Not long after his ar
rival in this country the Seminole and
Mexican wars broke out, and the old
spirit of the soldier was reawakened in
Mueller, and he went again to the front,
this time wearing the American uni
form and fighting for the American
flag. So much warfare had now made
confirmed soldier of the German, and
80 when the War of the Rebellion broke
out in 1861 he again took out his mus
ket and fought through the entire war.
One of the most wonderful things of
all these experiences is that Mueller
was never seriously wounded, and man.
aged to keep himself in such good
health that be lived to be over 100
years old, and spent his last days in
peace and comfort in the Soldiers
Home, smoking his long German pipe
on the lawn under the trees, and telling
of his own personal experiences, which,
to most of us, are part of very remote
history
