THE YOUNGEST SOVEREIGN.

China, the Oldest Of nations, is ruled.
If the expression may be allowed, by
the youngest Of sovereigns, a boy Of
3. He is a nephew of the late EN-.
peror, and until his accession bore the
name Of Pu-yi, although the royal as
trologers have selected as his official
title Hsuan-tung, which means Gen
eral Proclamation" The boy, says a
writer in the Overland Monthly, is In
delicate health, and the Chinese are
inclined to attribute this to his birth
on the unlucky thirteenth day of the
first moon. In order to escape the
evil influence as far as possible, 1t has
been decreed that his birthday shall be
celebrated on the 14th of the month.
Further, he is to be brought up more
hygtenically than his predecessor was.
He Will have plenty of fresh air, and

pearance in public-at his enthrone-

loudly; and henceforth his father, the
prince regent, will attend all official
functions alone, and will receive digni-
taries Of state, and offer up the re-
quired prayers for snow or rain.

CHAPTER VIII.

When l awoke in the morning l was
more than half Of the mind that I had
dreamed Of the lightning's singular pic
lures, or at least that. being suddenly
startled from sound sleep and dazzled BY
successive flashes and stunned by the
roar Of thunder, my Imagination had
played some trick on me. Anything else
seemed too remarkable to be believed. Yet
l could not quite convince myself that 1
had not seen the tormented schooner, the
landing on the beach Of the long boat, the
march into the pines, and the final pic
ture Of that tall, gaunt figure gazing sea-
ward. l could not believe that my imagi-
nation or my dreams could be so vivid as
my remembrance Of those scenes.
I questioned Charles closely at break
fast as to how he had passed the night.
1t seemed that he had slept stolidly
through all the uproar. Even had he not,
he would probably have seen nothing, for
his room was at the back Of the house.
The storm continued, though with les
sened violence. After breakfast l ven
tured out, dressed for a wetting and
membered, the long boat had been beach
ed. The waves had done away with all
traces Of the keel. Then followed an

strangers had taken to the pines; but

when a sudden sky-cracking crash of
thunder brought me wide awake An In

looks out upon the sea. The blackness
of the pit, and only the roar Of the

and again came the flash, and now, out
near the Shoal, saw a long, black
schooner, bare of canvas, pitching like
mad in the moil of an angry sea. She
was not on the Shoal-she might be some
distance off it--but she was tasting a
very nasty squall. Darkness, another
peal, more lightning, and now l saw that
the long boat, shooting furiously land
ward, was heading towards me, was max

waves and the oarsmen could drive her.

CHERRY, H., Nov. 22.-Great
excitement prevailed this afternoon
when it was rumored that a live
man had been found in a heap of
dead who had been brought to the
surface. The body was hurried to
physicians, who pronounced it dead,
and said the man had probably not
been dead over twelve hours. The
body was still warm, which led to
the belief that there was still life,
Wild scenes followed the carrying
of the body to the hospital. They
are alive!" came the cry from every
side, and the rush of people almost
carried the bearers of the stretcher
off their feet. The guards held the
crowds back while the work of car
rying out the dead continued. Be-

hoisted, the body of the man who
at first was supposed to be alive
was sadly placed beside his COM
