Jenny Lind could not have been more
than years old when she woke up tho old

In passing her home. This was the first

A CITY OF SPIES.


Tho Espionage Practiced by the German
Government In Berlin.
There Is something specially degrading
about espionage, especially when practiced
by national government as IL Is In Ger
many. This was brought very wildly be-
fore mo by the following incident: Ono
day there dined with me In q public res
taurant In Berlin an aged Clergyman and
his wife. Tho former had occupied the
same pulpit for over 40 years, had proved
father to his parish, had been leader
In many liberal movements and In all
ways had served his country nobly, while
the latter had for the same length OF time
been very great blessing to her neighbor-
hood for many leagues around.
In tho course of conversation asked
him how he felt about the emperor s policy.
Before replying TO mo he turned and looked
anxiously about him In all directions, and
then said, IF Fritz had lived ton years
longer, things would have been different"
When l asked, "Were you looking about
for anythingY" he said, mo, but one never
knows who may BIO listening, and 1t would
yo hard with me II IL were known that I
Expressed such opinions.
10 my surprise then learned that Ber-
lin was full of spies of all sorts, ready to
catch ana report to the authorities the
slightest word rejecting unfavorably upon
tho emperor, his family or his actions, and
that on such reports many persons, espc-
clally young mon, had been seized by tho
police and Kept In prison for months--one
because In the heat of discussion he had
said tho emperor was n schafskopf. When
] asked my guests what they thought Of
such system, they looked mysterious and
declined TO reply.
I aftorward spoke of the matter to SOW
| eral persons, who. whether from fear or
conviction cannot tell, informed me that
they thought It quito right that tho en-
peror, his family and actions should be
above criticism, and that he should enforce
this rule, | learned also afterward that
| tho president of the Berlin Ethical society,
n man of eminent scientific nttainments,
hnd been imprisoned for three months for
venturing In n public address to express
Views on socialism different from those of
the emperor, although no did 10 without
naming him. could not help feeling
that the Germans were paying dearly for
their empire. Professor Thomas David

IN LIBBY PRISON.


How the Ncwa OF Ntcksburg and CSettya-
burg Was Received There.
In July, 1868, ended the memorable
siege of Vickshurg and marked also the
battle of Gettysburg. In Libby prison,
where it seemed us though the despor-
atoly dark gloom could take no deeper
tinge, n group of some 800 huddled to-
gether on the morning Of July discuss
ing the situation. Two of their number
had just boen taken ont to be shot in re-
taliation for the killing of some robels
somewhere. They know that the Confod-
crate forces We're marching north and
that II terrible battle had been fought
They knew also that Grant was reaching
for Vickshurg, the key To tho Missis-
sippi. They could hear nothing more,
but feared the worst, About noon of tho
9th Richmond piper smuggled inside
by II faithful negro friend confirmed
their worst fears. In startling headlines
they road, "Meado Defeated ut Gottys-
burg, " The Northern Array Fleeing TO
the Mountains, Grant Ropulsed at
Vicksburg, " Tho Campaign Closed In
Disaster. "
The depression caused by this was
awful The poor, emaciated fellows
broke down and cried like babies. They
lost all hope, and one of them has said
since, "Thoro was not left in us strength
enough to curse God and die. While in
this condition II later edition of the Same
paper was brought in by the Same negro.
Chaplain MoCabe got tho paper, and,
having IA stronger voice than the others,
was delegated to rcnd them tho later re-
turns. He began ut the headlines:
Grant Has Captured Vicksburg and
Taken 30, 600 Prisoners. -
Meade Defeated Leo mt Gettysburg,
Taking II, 600 Prisoners "
Tho same shadow ON the dial marked
the time of tho defeat of the rebels ut
Gettysburg and the surrender of Vicks-
burg
Tho rovulsion of feeling was almost
too great to endure. The boys went
crazy with joy. They saw the beginning
of the end. Chaplain MeCabe sprang up
on box and struck up:
Mino Dyes have seen tho glory of tho coming
of the Lord
He Is trampling out tho vintage whore the
grapes Of wrath arc stored.
Ho hath loosod the fntoful lightning of his tor
riho swift sword.

THE PURITAN LOVERS.

"You read my soul, you know my wish.
Oh. grant me its fuliiling!'
She answered low, IF heaven smiles
And If my fathers willing"
Her sober answer pleased the youth,
Frank, clear and gravely cheerful.
He left her at her fathers door,
Too happy to be fearful.
She looked on high with earnest plea,
And heaven seemed bright above her.
And when she shyiy spoke his name
Her father praised her lover
And when that night she sought her
couch,
With headboerd high and olden,
Her prayer was praise, her pillow down.
And all her dreams were golden.
