BISAIARCK'S DIPLOMACY.

Many Of the principal journals of
Paris are attacking Prince Bismarck on
account of his treachery as shown by
the revelations published in the Mach
rlchten. OF Hamburg. relative to the re-
lations of Russia ana Germany. and the
feeling in Vienna is equally as bitter
against the eN-Chancellor for his dupli-
city towards that nation. 1t APP
pears that Bismarck secretly dis
graced the terms of the Tri-
pie Alliance up to 1890 to secure
Russia's neutrality i'm case of war be-
tween Germany and France, and u sim
liar arrangement was made pledging
Germany's neutrality i'm case of war be-
tween Austria and Russia in favor of
the latter power, so that while France
was living under the belief that Rus
sia would be her friend and helper in
case of war with her old enemy, Germa-

while Austria was counting on Germany
in the event of trouble with Russia, Ger

Just to lie here on the grass,
Caring not for anything.
Nor how swift the moments pass.
Nor how sad the toll-hcllS ring
just TO all the world forget.
All its wrangles. all its cares,
All the grirfs the days beget.
All the seeds that come mp tareS.
Just to lie upon my back
Where the grass is thick and sweet
Watch the white clouds fetcy track.
And the sunlit pillows meet.
Hearing strange, sweet message oft
That the grass blades whisper low
Telling to each other. soft.
What the scented breezes know.
Just to watch the bluebird swing
Through the air in ecstasy,
Or the robin prcen her wing
In the fruitcd cherry tree.
Just to hear the instect tell
To its comrades listening.
How the Quiv'ring buds did swell
At the kisses of the Spring.
Just to lie here on the grass
Happy as boy can be-
Tasting joys that far surpass
All that later came to me-
Lie outstretched in careless ease,
In sweeter, newer birth,
Famed by every passing breeze.
Comrade to the happy earth.
