THE MYSTERY OF N SA! “TURE

BY THEODORE TILTON,

The works of God are fair for nought,
Unless our eyes in sceing,

See hidden in the thing the thought
That animates its being.

The outward form isnot the whole,
But every part is moulded

To image forth an inward soul
That dimly is unfolded.

The shadow, pictured in the lake
By every tree that trembles,

Is-cast fur more than just the sake
Of that which it resembles.

The dew falls nightly, not alone
Because the meadows need it,
But on an errand of its own
To human souls that heed it.

The stars are Jighted in the skies
Not merely for their shining,
But, like the looks of loving eyes,

Have meanings worth divining.

The waves that moan along the shore,
The winds that sigh in blowing,

Are sent to teach a mystic lore
Which men are wise in knowing.

The clouds around the mountain-peak,
The rivers in their winding,

Have secrets which, to all who seck,
Are precious in the finding,

Thus Natuee dwells within our reach,
But though we stand so near her,

We still interpret half her speech
With cars tvo dull to hear her,

Whoever, at the coarsest sound,
Still listens for the finest,

Shall hear the noisy world go round
To music the divinest,

Whoever yearns to sce aright
Because his heart is tender,

Shall catch a glimpse of heavenly light
Tn every earthly splendor.

So, since the universe Legan,
And till it shall be ended,
The sonl of Nature, soul of Man,
And soul of God are blended!
—Allantic Monthly.

a man he was deeply touched by the sor-
of this tender but brave young crea-
fighting against fearlul odds for her
husband's dignit and possibly for his

said to her, unmoyed by nything but the
remembrance of Maximilian straggling

forces of a erucl and relentless destiny.

the woes of an inuocent woman—as an
old man he could not but address words of
paternal love and pity to the comparative | ?
child that bent sorrowfully, and yet not

priest he could not but administer to her
those consolations of religion which the
humblest village pastor would have af-
forded, but which, coming from the lips]!
of the head of the Church, would have
had more than usual influence and auth-
ovity in loading her thoughts to that other
world, the least of whose joys are more
than worth the whole dominion and lord-
ship of this. But, alas! the strain upon
heart andintelleet had been too hea
too prolonged — the sovereign 2
shook on_ its unsteady throne, the sweet
bells of has wlod and were out of

of hor mind, and the Empress Charlotte
lost, it is to be hoped, some sense of her
agony and grief in the al toss of hey
reason. News of this erat calamity came
to Maximilian over the sea, and many
who were unaware of the heroism of his
character imagined that he would loaye

Tt was a gay time in Paris, and in the
Court of the Emperor of the uch, when
the first whispers of this ghastly tr: igedy
were trans uitted under the waves of the
ocean, and found audible voice in the
chambers of the ‘Tuileries, Bel-
held high revel when the blood-
ing was seen upon the wall. The
great kings and potentates of the earth,
Christian and ‘lurk, with glittering retin-
ues, and all the pomp and state of. kingly
and imperial pride, crowded to the beau-
tilul capital, which in his reign, and chiefly
by his taste and enterprise, had been trans-
formed into the wonder of the world. The
magnificent Exhibition of Arts and In-
dustry, which he had imagined, and which
his will had er a triumphant
success. Pari lly overflowed with

Emperor received his gues many of
them the heirs of ancient monarchies, who
in days not far distant, had looked with

adiniration, if not in awe, of his power
He was at the very height and summit of
his glory, and might without vanity have
said of himself that he dwarfed by com-
parison every king that stood alongside.
It was in the midst of all this glare and
blaze of revelry and rejoicing, and of the
sweetness of gratified hopes and-expecta-
tions more than realised, that news came
to him of the murder of Maximilian, A
