Breath of red roses and gleam of the moon
Air from Hesperides
Blown thro' the cherry trees,
Hum of the merry bees,
Drunken with June,
Sky blue and white with you,
Meadows bedight with you,
Hilltops alight with you,
Crickets acroon.

Steadfast as sun today or moon tonight,
Or as the stars which shed revealing light
O'er dusky meadow and mysterious sea.
Many wise lessons have | learnt OF thee:
The winds have been my teaohers aud the

The SHOWS Of winter. and the vernai showers,
And white clouds sailing TRANQUILITY
Above my head. cross heavens radiant face.
O jov to know thy ministcring servants move
In my behoof on treless steps OF love.

Far far away the region OF his choice is

WANTED ROYAL VISITORS.
Paris disappointed That More of
Them Did Not Attend the
Exposition.

Disguise 1t as you may, republican
France has been bitterly disappointed
at the absence of the principal crowned
heads Of Europe from the exposition
but most of all at that of the Russian
sovereign. France considered-and not
unjustly-that so much was due to her
from the son of father whose mem
ory is perpetuated in Paris by one of
the most striking and beautiful monu-
ments ever devised by an art-loving ma
tion. France will not admit that the
absence Of crowned visitors of the first
rank and their heirs was due to her
cwn folly. She who is always preach
ing the solidarity of republicans all
over the world will not admit that
there may be such a solidarity among
monarchs. And. even if she did admit
1t, she would fail to see the reason why
Nicholas II. should not have made an
exception in her favor. She thinks.
though she does not say it, that her
quondam ally owed her this, says the
London Illustrated News.
There was no proof that Oscar Of
Sweden and Norway, Leopold of Bel
gium, and Gesrge of Greece are not
as solicious Of the prestige of their
fellow sovereigns as the rest. but all
three felt that they owed something
to France and they were determined
to acknowledge the obligation in that
way. Oscar is of purely French de-
scent; Leopold's f9ther indirectly
owed his crown 10 France, who fought
