The Fable of the First Cocoon.

Aneien; the ages and ancient the forest,
when at the katydid's call
beetles and butterflies. COLLEEN and gaudy.
Gathered TO dance a. . bali
WIG with the -altz and the giddy mazurka,
Blind with the froic and fun
Never butterfly noticed the fairies
hiding and watching-not one.
Out from the ambush Of bowlder and berry,
Rushed the fast fairies and ere
Any could vanish. the guests were Imprisoned.
Caught by the fairy folk there
HOW can we dance ii haven't the gauzes
Or follow the sweeps and the swings?
How can we do it?' insisted the fairies.
Lacking the gauze and the wingsr'
There in the berry BUSH there in the forest
Gathered the fairies about.
Plucking the wings OF the beetles and golden
Wings of the butterflies out.
Then, with the wings they had stolen. the rob
bers
Dancing around and around,
Floated and fluttered in magical measure,
Scarcely toe on the ground.
Down in the ivy and down in the grasses.
Wingess and ugly-in shame
Scattered the butterflies broken in spirit,
Changed in their nature and name:
Once the companions of linnet and robin.
Up in the regions of song;
Now but the wiggle-worn worms OF the wood
land,
Creeping and crawling along.
Blghted in beauty. and robbed OF the golden
Wings, and the notified and blue.
Wandered one worm in the dawn Of the autumn
Then Of the thistle and dew
Shelter it made for the shame and the winter,
Made in the light of the moon
Such is the song of the fairies-the simple
Song Of the first cocoon.
From the New York Sun.

A grey, slow moving dust bepowdered wave,
That on the edges breaks to scattering spray.
Round which my faithful collies wheel and bark
To scurry in the laggard feet that stray;
\ babel of complaining tongues that make
The still air weary with their ceaseless fret;
Brown hills akin to those of Galilee,
ON which the shepherds tend their charges yet.
The long, hot days, the stark windbeaten nights;
No human presence. human sight or sound;
Grim, silent land of wasted hopes where they
Who came for gold ofttimes have madness
found:
A blcating horror that foregathers speech,
Freezing the word that from the lip would pass
And sends the herdsrnan groveling with his sheep,
Face down and beast like on the trampled
grass.
The collies halt. the slow herd sways and reels,
Huddled in fright above the low ravine.
Where wild with thirst herd unshepherded
Beat up and down-with something dark be-
tween;
A narrow circle that they win not cross
thing that stops the maddest in their run.
A guarding dog too weak to lift his head,
Who ticks hand still shriveled in the sun.

An Anonymous Autobiography,

1.-THE Tribulations of Princess" is an
autobiography which possesses all the
fascination of novel. 1t is said to be
4 record OF the life OF lady of title, IA
miliar with the Austrian and Russian
Courts. but none OF the personages with
whom ii deals is mentioned by name, and
their identity car only be conjectured
However. as pure fiction it would be in
teresting because of the perfect piece of
character drawing in the portrait of the
heroine.
This heroine. the daughter of a Breton
father and Russian mother, possesses
the mingled traits of both races, with a
singulariy brave and buoyant nature, due
probably to inheritance from the fathers
side. The opening chapters describe most
charmingly the comradeship between IA
Their and daughter during the latters
strange childhood. In disappointment at
her being q daughter instead of a son.

There were pitiful sears on the little boys face
But she found beauty somewhere.
And the womans heart broke when she saw the

The Fairest Gift.

II might give the world one gift,
And choose it as I pleased; il through
Some miracle 'twere mine to lift
A hand and thereby set new
Condition over men, l would not strew
Before them riches that they seek today,
l would not be induced to sweep away
One task that God has given them to do.
/ would not make the dark days fair,
Nor curb the bitter winds that blow,
Nor deck the streams with lilies where
The angry, muddy waters flow;
l would not bring the lordly master low,
Nor raise the servant up who cringes now;
He that is blowing still should guide the pillow,
Tears still should wash away the widows woe
! would not heed his bitter cry
Who calls upon the poor to wrest
From them whose palace walls high
Gold for the starving and oppressed.
But he that has within his honest breast
The fear that wrong is spreading here below
l would with glad conviction give to know
That Gods world still is rising to its best.

The moon crept over the mountain edge
And made a path of light;
The clouds swept over my hoping heart

Twilight in the City.

The violent pillows of the tide of day,
Unintermittent in their thunder tone
Have fallen at last into a minor moan,
Like a retreating suri-sound far away;
The sunset shades into grey.
And faint breeze from off the ocean blown
Up the long avenues OF cruel stone
Brings soothing "reminiscences of spray.
The strenuous step relaNes; everywhere,
Fen il the eye the swarming purlieus scan.
Twilight bequeaths its purple peace for BOOM

Where nmble elves, of rags and dirt and tan,
Dance gleeiul to some hurdy -gurdy tune!

Courage unto the end:
A faith tried even as by FIRE;

All faculties OF mind complete:
The feelings warm and true;

THE Story of King Alfred" by Walter
Besant, is the latest addition to Library
of Useful Stories intended apparently
for the reading of young people. The au-
thor makes this a little too apparent to
suit the average American reader; his his
tory of King Alfred reminds one rather
of Robinson Crusoe In Words of One
Syllable" and like volumes printed for
children. But anyone who wants to get
at the facts of King Alfred's life without
much outlay of money or time will find
this book useful. The author has laid IS
pecial stress on the work of this great
leader in the molding Of English thought
and character, and upon the difficulties
with which he had to contend. There is
much quoting from old chronicles, and the
life of the time is reproduced as well as
it can be in so small a work and with
such scanty materials from which to Sc

Max Muller's library has been bought
by Baron Iwasaki and presented to the
University of Tokyo, which is building
a new han for the reception of the books,
to be called the Max Muller Library.
There are nearly 1890 volumes in the
collection. Eighty-one Sanscrit MSS are
also included in it. The Japanese wanted
the books so much that If Baron Iwasah
had not purchased them they would have
been acquired by the high priest of
great Janapese monastery. In presenting
the library the baron says: Il donate the
whole to the university, with the hope
that by the memory of Prof. Max Muller
we may create interest in the studies in
itiated by the professor. and benefit all
those engaged in researches in the same
fields of learning" The only conditions
imposed by the donor are as follows:
First-That the library be kept separate
Iy under special care. in order to COM
memorate the name OF the original owner.
Second-That the library be open to any
student engaged in studies similar to
those of Prof. Max Muller.
Third-That the university will carefully
avoid all danger of loss or injury.
