Francis Joseph
PERSONALITY OF FRANCIS JOSEPH
There is nothing majestic or imposing about
this monarch but there is something that Is
wonderfully attractive and sympathetic in MS
kind but unutterabIy sad eyes, in his gentle
and courtly address and in his entire absence
OF all affectation. Although his hair has turned
snowy white and his interesting face has De
come furrowed by many wrinkles, his figure
retains all the matchess elegance for which IL
was distinguished in old days and he sun
remains both outwardy and inwardly the
personihcation Of everything that is knightly
and chivalrous. He attracts rather than I'M
poses and the feelings Of his household OF MS
famiars and of his people at large are those
of love and deep attachment rather than OF
veneration and awe, he is so entirely unahect-
ed so simple so considerate and so anxious to
say and do kind things. To every one with whom
ne comes in contact he displays the same kindly
and courteous consideration and the same win
ming graciousness. Under the circumstances ii Is
only natural that he should be the most popular
and sincerely beloved monarch in ChristendOm
this too by both rich and poor by the high
born and by the humber classes. To the latter

PRESENT CRISES IN THE DUAL EMPIRE.
And now the fiftieth year Of his reign finds the
spirit Of revolution and Of popular discomfort
against his government and house to such an
extent rampant in his domniOns that, after Wit
Messing in Vienna and Prague scenes which must
have recalled to his mind those that signaized
his accession to the throne he has been forced to
suspend the constitution in Austria temporarily
dispensing with the legislative forms of govern
ment, while at Budapest he has been since the
beginning OF the year face to face with the i'm
minent danger OF Hungary's cutting itself en-
tirely adrift from the other portion Of the Dual
Empire As far his foreign relations are
concerned the Emperor is entangled in the bonds
of an alliance which, whatever its political
features can only be uncongenial to him per-
sonally For one OF the allies is no other than
the King Of Italy, whose father drove all the
Austrian and Bourbon dynasties so closely re-

THE DECAY OF ENGLISH HUMoR.

THE DECAY OF ENGLISH HUMOR.
 We wonder if the habit of humorous
 thought, which was so marked in SIT
 Frank Lockwood, who was not exactly
 witty man, is decreasing among us
 Ii certainly comes much less to the
 front perhaps from the fears of which
 we have been speaking. The almost en-
 tire disappearance of true humorists
 from the house of commons-Mr. Wal
 lace is nearly the last if not the last,
 of the race--is proof sufficient of that
 fact. and there is also the noteworthy
 decline in humorous poetry, and even
 of many kinds of humorous prose. Of
 epigram there is plenty, of satire little,
 and the supply of bitterness-sometimes
 healthy, sometimes morbid-seems endless: but humor in its wider sense is
 confined to tEe house of lords. Lord Salisbury dare jest, and Lord Rosebery
 smile.
 As the population increases, and has
 not changed in it's character, it which humor has always been a permanent element, there cannot be less of itYthan there was, and we are forced to SUD- poses that causes are at work which in- duce those who possess it to keep it | back They fancy it will tell against them in some way and, as Oliver Wen dell Holmes said in jest, hardly dare to be as funny as they could.

A RABBIT STORY.

It is not often worth the trouble to write the biography of a common rab- bit, but our Jack" is an exception to the rule. We bought him from a poul- terer at the door one day for 6d, so we know nothing about his antecedents
 He grew into huge brown creature
 and might easily have been taken for a hare One of his ears was lopped, which gave him a qllizzical look which made us often think he was laughing at us. As time went on he developed a sense of humor seldom met with among animals. Our fierce little Scotch terrier tried many a time to spoil his temper, and at last Jack" resolved to have it out with him and assert himself One day, instead of running away as he was expected to do, he turned savagely on his enemy, and it was the terrier that retreated with one ear bleeding. After that they were on excellent terms of equality. They had many a scamper round the garden together, and then
 would rest side by side like the good friends they were. They both had a great dislike of cats, and chased them away the moment they ventured over our garden wall. On retiring too leis- urely Jack bit it's tail to expedite it's retreat, which met with the terriers
 boisterous approval. They were very fond of coming into the house when they got the chance, and then they pro- ceeded to the very top of two long
 stairs. There the odd couple would sit gazing down on the world below for an | hour at a time. When we looked up | and saw the two heads peeping through the banisters, we often wondered what they were thinking about
