Rival of Rossuth.

Rival VI hUSSulA-
Politically Count Stephen Szechenyi
was a rival of Louis Kossuth. the IA
nous leader OF the Hungarian war OF
independence in 1883. Count Stephen
was in favor Of systematic, gradual
completion Of social and political re-
forms, such as the liberation of the
serfs and IT,. establishment OF a par
llamentary government after the Eng
fish pattern. whereas Eossuth strived
to accomplish everything by a bold,
sudden stroke. The passionate. enthu-
siastic nature OF the Hungarian pOpu-
Iation sympathized more with Kossuth's
plans than with Count SzeehenyPs sys-
tematic but slower procedure. Future
developments. however. justified the
counts politics, and. although the
, country emerged fairly prosperous after
the turmoil Of the war OF independ-
ence, much sorrow and humiliation
could have been spared had the nation
followed Count Szechenyi's advice.
In the latter days the Szechenyf fam
lly has been prominent In politics as
well as in social life Several members
oecupied positions in different cabinets.
Count Laszlo's father concluded a dis
tinguished diplomatic career as Austro-
Hungarian amba JsadOr to the imperial
court at Berlin, while Counts Bella
Emerich, and Victor Szechenyi made
their mark in the house Of masnates
One equivalent of the United States
Senate or the British house OF lords as
well as in the house OF representa-
tives.
Count LaszIo Szechenyi himself, after
serving his time il ore of the HusSar
regiments and 81 The diplomatic ser
vice. devoted al his time TO the sSlllful
management of his estates. He owns
two large estates which comprise about
10000 acres, and two castles. both Of
ancient architecture but modern equip
ment. He is an extensive wheat and
corn grower. and has large herds OF

Countess Szechenyi she can be sure OF

Laszlo Szechenyi every DOOR is open. As
the wife Of an imperial and royal cham
berlain she has the entree of the court
either at Vienna or Budapest.
Social life IN Budapest, where the
new countess is to make her debut
has not been particularly lively during
recent years. The aristocracy did not
entertain as lavishly as in former years.
when the gorgeous mansions and pala-
tiaI dwellings around the National Mu-
scum, on the Danube front md in the
neighborhood of the royal palace were
filed every night during the winter sea-
son with guests. The agricultural crisis
compelled the aristocracy to devote
most Of its time to the management OF
its large estates, the critical economic
conditions necessitating an uninter-
rupted attendance on the part Of the
land owners. Nor were the unsettled
political conditions Of the country dur
ing recent years favorable for social
gayeties on a large scale. There are,
however. signs that indicate the advent
Of a livelier era.

PLEASANT, EASY SPRING.

The ice is melting in the hills.
The snow no longer SHOWS,
The streams are fed by gentle rills.
March winds no longer blows.
Glad faces feel the pleasant wind,
The thing-um-bOb doth sing.
Old winters tagging far behind
'Tis spring-nice, easy spring.
And honey bee will honey sip,
The robin soon Will rob,
Nice, pleasant lambs will easy skip,
With joy the fly will throb.
The earth smells such an easy smell
Nice nature seems to sing,
Gould anything appear more swell
Than pleasant, easy spring."
The easy robin on the tree,
Doth hunt the pleasant worm,
The what-d' ye-call-it in the sun
With glee doth twist and squirm.
In land and shore the maidens walk.
Upon each hat a wing:
It's nice that fUssy winters gone

SPRING.,

The bright young Spring has lightly
spread
Her green above old Winters head.
The blue sky lifts her somber veil
And bids adieu to frosty gale.
The warm. clear raindrops find their rest
On every violets purple breast
The golden sunshine woos the earth,
And Nature gives fair Springtide birth.
Awakens from its sleep the bee
The earth. the sky and everything
Adorn themselves to welcome Spring.

SPRING

Spring ushered in on the wild winds of
March,
As they wall DER the mOOrland meadow
and marsh.
Finds herself at a loss at which end to
start
Her spring housekeeping, of which all
needs a part.
All through March she brings us fresh
air
And clears the atmosphere of the impuri-
ties there,
Then the soft pitter-patter of the April
rains
AS they water the trees and the farmers
grains.
And the tender nursing of the tiny
sprouts.
With the suns kind help, for they're
never al outs.
Till they blossom under skies so blue
No artist has eer picture fairer hue.
