The author does not leave England
without seeking to find how that coun-
try has attained, in architecture and
the decorative arts, to the solidity and
homOgenity of taste that all connois-
seurs are pleased to recognize. With
out doubt it is due to- am electicism
broader than that of France, which,
back of its original appearance and ma
tiona1 name (Tudor, Queen Anne, etc.,
has bearing upon it the Flemish and
Italian Renaissance, the point of de-
parture in the new education has been
the study of ancient models. The Eng
hsh appear more independent because
they have less anxiety about pureness
than the French; their assimilation of
ancient types is sometimes more crude
because they are not constrained by any
sentiment of shades. The very fact
that French art is lighter and more
finished makes it less striking. less at
tractive than the more solid forms
and copious coloring of that across the
channel. 1t is doubtless assiduous
study of ancient models that gives to
their creations. if not actual elegance,
at least harmony.

Does She Love Me?

Does she love me? That is Greek,
Far too deep for me to know.
Do the sweet lips always speak
From the hearts deep overflow?
Can / tell each gentle sigh
Is the breath of answering love2
Are the glances of her eye
Forged by Cupid of by Jove?
Only this to ne is known,
That / love her her alone;
Only this I clearly see,
She is more than earth can be,
And full half of heaven to me.
Does she love me? Do I know
Christ has risen from the tomb?
Or where roses, when they blow.
Get their color and perfume?
Faith would have no mission here,
Hope would still in heaven be,
If / did not trust the dear
Pledges of her love for me.
Though / cannot prove it mine,
BY an algebraic sign,
Yet, as love divinely grows,
It believes and feels and knows,
Thus, through soul and every sense,
Her true love gives evidence:
And I clear and clearer see
She is more than earth can be,
And full half of heaven to me.

The message of the retiring governor,

Senators and Representatives.: The
financial condition Of the state is not
all that could be wished. The funds in
the state treasury are practically ex-
hausted and about $4,000 has been adj

This will necessitate the borrowing Of
a considerable sum of money to pay the
expenses of the legislature and other
expenses of the state government until
the tax levy Of 1896 can be collected.
There is. however. some consolation
even in this statement. The state is in
a better condition financially than at
the close Of the year for the last three
years. Dec. 81, 1898, the state had bor-
rowed money and obtained advances
