THE HAUNTED CITY.

Some hearts remembrance and regret
Fill every street with lie protoChu'
This corner where of old we met
To me has since been hallowed grouhd'
I never pass in sun or rain
Now but meet you here again.
We cannot go from where we dwell
And leave behind no lingering trace;
Where in the past our shadow fell
a shadow OF US haunts the place;
Returning now. ourselves may there
Disturb some ghost Of what we were
The stones are thrilled by many tread
That leaves no footprint where IL strays;
Shades Of the living and the dead
In silence through the noisy ways
Here where | meet in shower or SHINE
Your ghost, you happy meet with nine
The air has sounds we cannot hear,
Is dim with space that none can see;
Tho dear the living voice, and dear
The sight of living faces he.
with kindlier warnings yet we greet
The friends we see not when we meet.

an INTERPOLATION OF M. de LaryNinais In the
Chamber TO remind the French MOBILES tha'
they should be the last to join In the anu

Socialistic papers the descendants OF the Cru

What of the Future9

British statesmen who dread the
awful struggle which would be involved
in bringing on war with Russia
rather than yield a little here and
there must wonder what the chances
can be for thwarting Russian designs
80 years hence, when the Russian en-
pire, even within its present limits, is
likely to have fully $50, 900, 900 inhab-
itants, much better off, as rule, than
the Russians of today. The most por-
tentous fact in the international politics
of Europe and Asia, if not of the whole
world, is the enormous and overshadow-
ing growth Of the Slavic power which
stretches across two continents. -Cleve-

"The Heather Chinee."


Says tho London Daily News: "1n
the course of conversation which a
correspondent of The Daily News had
not SO long ago with the departing
American ambassador, Mr.. Hay told
him an interesting anecdote of the origin
of The Heather Chinee.' He and Bret
Harte especially delighted in the fol-
lowing lines from chorus in 'Atalanta
In Calydon:'
"Who shall seek, who shall bring,
And restore thee the day
When the dove dipped her wing
And the oars won their way
Where the narrowing Symplegades whiten
the straits Of Propontis with spray2
The melody Of that poem, said
Mr.. Hay to the correspondent, rang in
Bret Harte's ears and mind till he
wrote, "The Heathen Chinee" in that
measure. >"
