dumas, Address to the ELECTORS,

The elder Dumas stood in 1S4S for the
chamber of deputies, and this was his adj
dress to the electors: 81 am candidate
for the office of deputy. | ask your votes.
These are my reasons why you should give
them to me: Not counting six year de-
voted to the requirement of an education,
four years passed in performing the duties
of notary and seven years as an employee
of the government, l have worked ten
hours day for 90 years. That makes 49,,
900 hours. During those 90 years l wrote
400 volumes and 80 plays. OF each of the
400 volumes an average Of 1000 copies
have been printed and sold at francs
each The 80 plays have each been per-
for ned, on an average, 100 times. My
books have produced II 853, 600 francs; my
plays have produced 6, $50, 600 francs TAX
ing francs day as the average pay of a
workingman, and as there are 300 work
ing days in the year my books have paid
for 90 years the wages of 692 people and
my plays the wages for ten years of S47
people, But the last figure must be null
tiplied by to include the provinces, max
ing ,04l, and adding 40 for the ushorS,
chiefs of the claque and cab drivers makes
total of 1,I5S. Plays and books, then
have paid the wages Of 2, 100 people for AL
these years, not counting Belgian pirates
and foreign translators." Yet he was not
elected. Public Opinion.

LIFE AND SONG.

If life were caught by clarinet,
And u wild heart, throbbing in the reed,
Should thrill its joy and trill its fret
And utter it's love in loves own deed;
Then would this breathing clarinet,
Tyr. what l would that might be,
For Zone Of the poets ever yet
Has wholly lived his minstrelsy,
Or wholly sung his truo true thought
Or utterly bodied forth his life,
Or made what God made when he wrought
One perfect self of man and wife;
Or lived and sung, that life and song
Might each express the others all,
Careless if life or art were long,
Since both were one, to stand or fall.
So that the wonder stuck the crowd,
Who shouted it about the land.
His song was only aliving aloud;
His work was u singing with his handl
Sidney Lanier.

s6rting that the old lady had only fallen a
victim to her beaux yeuX.
LA Scala was opened for the carnival
that evening and as royalty was present
the house WAS a particularly brilliant one.
The Ellistons occupied the box next tho
royal party, and it seemed to me that as
many eyes did homage to Claire's fresh
loneliness as to tho charms of the gracious
Queen Margherita herself From my scat
in the parquet L soon deserted old Mrs
Harding in a box opposite the Ellistons,
moro extravagantly dressed than ever. She
wore an evening gown Of rich, creamy old
satin, trimmed with priceless yellow lace,
deCollete, absolutely decollete, and around
her withered old neck flashed magnifl-
cent necklace of diamonds.
We'll, when we met once more at din
ner, Mrs. Harding leaned forward and
said to Claire in n low tone, L shall give
you my diamond necklace for bridal
present. She seemed to expect no reply,
for she drew back and mOtioned the waiter
to fill her wine glass The young girl said
not word but blushed vivid rosy red,
while thought detected certain mis-
ohievous but quickly suppressed light in
the counts dark eyes.
'They left next morning, and l knew
nothing of them till two months later L
met the brother and sister at Innsbruck, in
the Tyrol, and after we had become quite
friendly Claire showed mo the necklace
and little twisted note from the old lady
containing these words, without introduce
ton of any kind:
" 1 have made hypnotism a study an,
have long desired to experiment upoi
some one. You came in my way, and
willed a match between you and the count
