IT WAS WINTER.

II was winter and the wood was bleak and gray;
There was portent in the vastreSs of the night:

A dreaming river woke drowsy bird.

1t was night upon my thOrny upward way;

Then blind tears yelled mine unbelievng sight

And at thy touch my soul awoke 10 sing

badly St NichOlaS-ave. does but until there

ALL GERMANY
LOOKS TO CRONBERC

Berlin, Aug. 11.-All eyes in Ger
many are turned on Cronberg. Pub
lie interest in the deceased dowageT
empress during her widowhood was
slight. She did everything possible to
retire from the public view and avoid
ed every semblance of political actig-
ity. The latter fact has softened the
judgment of even the unbending or
gans which once prosecuted her maj
esty, assailing her most sharply when
at the very acme Of her power. The
dowager empress death reveals the
fact that the autocratic extremists
had largely modified their judgment or
at least had ignored their points of
difference. They praise her for her
humanity, her tender nursing of the
sick in war. her interest in industrial
art and the practical advance she
made along these lines. They also
praise her activity in promoting fe-
male education in the advancement of

couple fed after he was released.
Continuing to conspire at Malta he
was obliged to leave the island and
go to London. Here he made the ac-
