rived here today with sealed mes
sage from King Victor Emmanuel to
the Duke of the Abruzzi. which, it is
believed. contains the Kings decision

sent for the official notary of his house

Queen. Margherita remains immovable
in her attitude of opposition to the

I find an old deserted nest,
Half hidden in the under.

A withered leaf, in phantom
jest,
Has nestled in it like a thrush
With weary, palpitating breast.
1 muse as one in sad surprise
Who seeks in childhood's
home once more,
And finds it in a strange dis
guise
Of vacant rooms and naked
floor,
With sudden teardrops in his
eyes.
An empty nest! 1t used to
bear
A happy burden, when the
breeze
Of summer rocked it, and a
pair
Of merry tattlers told the
trees
What treasures they had hidden
there.
But Fancy. fitting through the

OF youths sunshiny atmos-

seems
Like this pooc leaflet nestled

A phantom guest of empty
