THE VAMPIRE.

A fool there was and he made his prayer
Gwen you and y,
10 a rag and bone and hank of hair
eve called her the woman who did not care):
But the fool he called her his lady fair
Gwen as you and y.
Oh, the tears we waste and the years we waste,
And the work of our head and hand
Belong to the woman who did not know
(And now we know that she never could know
And did not understand.
A fool there and his goods he spent
Gwen you and y,
Honor and faith and sure intent
(Aand it wasn't the least what the lady meant):
But fool must follow his natural bent
Gwen you and y.
Oh, the toll we lost and the spoil we lost,
And the excellent things we planned
Belonged to the woman who did not know Why
And did not understand
The fool was stripped to his foolish hide
Gwen as you and D.
Which he might have seen when she threw him
aside
Out it isn't on record the lady tried),
So some of him lived, but the most of him died
Gwen as you and y.
And it isn't tn shame but it isn't the blame
That stings like whitehot brand;
It's coming to know that she never knew why
(Seeing at last she could never know Why
And never could understand

and human bones. About the museum you will
meet a band of people whose object is to sell you
relics of the famous fight. They offer you old
metal buttons, bullets and such like, and tell you
with very persuasive eloquence that these objects
were dug up out of the field. These objects are
not genuine, but manufactured for the occa-

eventful day. La Belle Alliance, is now an inn 1t
is about mile south of La Haye Sainte and to the
eastward of La Belle Alliance is Plancenoit where
a fierce struggle between the French and Prussians
took place At Plancenoit there is a monument
erected to the memory of the gallant old Butcher
and his troops As we gazed upon that historic bat
tleed and think upon the strife the valor and the
carnage, the lines of Byron rush to our mind:
"Last noon beheld them full of Iusty life
Last eve in Beauty's circle proudly gay
The midnight brought the signal sound of strife
The morn the marshalling in arms-the day
Battles magnifcently stern array
The thunder clouds close Ger it which when rent
The earth covered thick with other clay
Which her own clay shall cover, heaped and pent,
Rider and horse, friend, foe-in one red burial

A little to the south Of Waterloo on the Genappe
road is Quatre Bras the scene of the desperate en-
counter between tn French troops under Ney and
the English on the eye Of Waterloo The English
troops, after the light, retreated towards Brussels
taking up a secure position on Mont st. Jean. A.
little south of Quatre Bras and to the west is
Ligny, where the Prussians on the same day as the
battle of Quatre Bras suffered defeat at the hands
of Napoleon The Prussans, after the battle, re-
treated towards Wave, and Napoleon dispatched
Marshal Grouchy with $4,000 men to pursue the
Prussians and keep them back, while be himself di
rected his strength against The British Grouchy
failed, as | have already stated, in the Emperors
project. Whether it was by design or accident
Grouchy allowed Butcher to outmaneuvre him. /

Sad Song.

Weary, weary are we,
Weary of the day;
Longing for white wings
To flee away, away.
Be it to the eastward,
Or the twilight gray,
What matter to us weeping,
If we flee away
Weary, very weary,
Working day ana night;
Nor ever looking sunward
Though the sun be bright.
No leisure to look upward
At the even-song,
Or music of the morning,
AS it floats along.
Come, o Death, and touch us
With a welcome hand;
Let US die off gently
To the after-land.
Will the new time bring US
All delight or bliss?
we know not! we know not!
But let us 'scape from this.
This is a weary time
Its sunny days are dreary,
It's very sweetest rest
Is weary, very weary.
We that linger in it,
Bitter fast are keeping;
Weeping in the working.
Working in the weeping.
Singing with sad song.
Weary of the day
Longing for the. death-wings
To flee away, away.

Have great regard for holy things
Never ridicule the religion of any one
Be cheerful look on the bright side
A polite man has no time to talk of himself
Behave ourselves in such way that the world
may be satisfied with US, and that we may be a

Roman Prosecutions

For a century or more after
the advent of the Christmas in
Rome the imperial government
took little notice of them, merely
regarding them as sect of the
Jews. AS such they were ac-
corded the rights of the Jews
and left to themselves. Their
national worship was respected
for the Pantheism of the Ro-
Romans found a place for all
the Gods. Yet there was a spirit
of self assertion that was taken
for opposition to the Roman law
and when there arose the ques-
ton of Caesar or Christ, the
aggressive Christians refused to
own the Emperor as supreme,
and such refusal was the begin
ming Of trouble.

Nero paint in vivid colors the

the church. But one may ask
why a religion that was founded
on love could incite such fury
and hatred in the hearts of
those who opposed it? 1t was
partly due to their Jewish orig
in, and the incapacity of the
heather races to appreciate
their industry and the nobler
aspects of their character.
Again the Christians reid Them
selves aloof from much of the
pagan practices of the time and
were cordially hated for what
seemed to a race much given to
pagan festivity, and they turned
away from a world that had en-
listed all the arts of further SEN
suous sin. Thus by separating
from the sin of the time, it APP
peared that they had separated
from their country, and were
looked upon as aliens, who had
cut themselves adr1ft from all
ties of country and race. Fur

thermore, they were branded
with impiety because they took
no part in any established form
of worship. No Lares was found
in any niche by their fireside;
no alteration of a Caesar ever
crooked their knees. Wild sto-
ries were told and credited,
their simple Love feasts were
contorted into pagan sacrifice
and blood of infants. They were
classed as magicians, and found
some of the bitterest enemies
among the takers who feared
to be unmasked Allevils of flood
and famine were attributed to
them. 1t became a proverb in

THOROUGH INVESTIGATION TO
BE MADE OF ACCUSATION
!. AGAINST WEALTHY JAPAN
ESE MERCHANT.

SEATTLE, June 19.-The Jap
anese association of this city has
appointed a committee to make a
thorough investigation of the
charges of white slave traffieking
made against X. Hirade. wealthy
merchant of Seattle, on account of
which he is held at Vancouver,
B. c., for deportation to Japan.
Incidentally, the Japanese col
ony of Seattle has taken into
It's own hands the matter of

Takahashi, president of the jap

legged by the United States immi-
grafton officials, will be searching,
and there Is to be no whitewash.

it so adjusts itself that 1t is pos
sible to prosecute wrong-doing
without stampeding the business
community into a terror-struck de-
Tense of the wrong-doers and an
angry assault upon those who have
exposed them. On the other hand,
we must beware, above all things,

is essential that we should
wrest the control of the govern
ment out of the hands of rich
men who use it for unhealthy pur-
poses, and should keep 1t out of
their hands; and to this end the
first requisite is to provide means
adequately to deal with corpora
tions, which are essential to mod
ern business, but which, under the
decisions of the courts, and be-
cause of the short-sightedness of
the public, have become the chief
factors in political and business
debasement. But it would be just
as bad to put the control of the
government into the hands of
demagogues and Missionaries who
seek to pander to ignorance and
prejudice by penalfzing thrift and
business enterprise, and running
all men of means, with, as. an at
tendant result, the ruin of the en-
tire community. The tyranny of
politicians with a bureaucracy be-
