Princess Beatrice and the Late Prince Imperial.

[Grorce R, Sims tHe Loxbox Worco.]

is it true, this dainty story? [s it trae—ah, who shall say ° In the brightermoonday glory Vorning shadows melt away. Poets’ fancies, woven gaily, Cruel fingers tear apart; And in judgment Brain sits daily On the children of the Heart.

Years ago, in times called olden— lis a legend, mind, I tell— rom his throne, high-reared and golden Cast to earth, a ruler fell. Fought by fe reign foes and worsted, Mad with grief and mad with shame, For his blood the people thirsted, ind heaped curses on his name.

Far away, an exile broken, shorn off all his pomp and pride, Cesar passed his race’s token ‘o his only son ; and died. Dicd afar, by all unheeded Who of yore had bent the knee ; And he sleeps the sleep he needed ‘u his tomb across the sea.

To that son the right descended “till to count himself a king ; Courtiers still his steps attended, boubting not what time would bring ; And he kept the grand tradition Of his proud Imperial race; ‘*Pide your time,” was Cresar’s mission ; ‘You shall fill your father’s place.”

Yet the waves of Time they bore him Little nearer to the throne ;

Blood, he said, should not restore him, Lut his people's love alone.

Not for him the pathway glory, ‘That his hero-fathers trod ;

He would keep his whole life-story Fit for eyes of man and God.

So he grew among the strangers Vill he came to man’s estate,

Then he sought afar the dangers That beset a soldier’s fate.

Why? Ah, whisper, gentle breezes, \e that come across the sea;

With the tender tale it pleases Cruel fate to send by thee!

He had loved a high-born maiden, Youngest daughter of a Queen ; Yet his heart with grief was laden— Shadows crept their loves between, Fancy cast a ream-spell o’er him ; ‘Then the ghosts of history came— Spread his race’s past before him, When in blood they wrote his name.

One short word had he but spoken, His had been the maiden’s hand ; In her eyes he read the token, He could see the promised land. + Love that’s checked is love the stronger ; Should he bid her be his mate? God forbid that he should wrong her ! She should know some happier fate.

He was heir to pomp and splendor ; [ope might dawn for him at least ;

Fiercast foes might yet surrender ; But the fatal die was cast.

Comes his derge across the billows ; Sets his gentle star for aye

Death his crownless head now pillows— He has flung his life away.

Came a whisper o’er the ocean, He had sought a soldier’s death ; And to seal a life’s devotion, Give her land his latest breath, Reckless there he courted danger— And the tale is far and wide, How the youth, to fear a stranger, Death had woed and wen for bride.

* * * * *

It is true, this legend olden, Or some poet’s idle dream, Who has sought, in garments golden, Thus to dress a dainty theme?- If aright they tel! his story, A}! his race he soars above ; They are men who die for glory. *! was a God who died for love.

The Shortest Deed on Record.

—_—S

Indianna has had in use for twenty years by statue the shortes form of of conveyance that I know of. It is as follows :

‘A B conveys and warrants to C D (des- cribe the property) for the sum of” (con- sideration).

Being only eight words, beside the dates, names, description and sum paid. By the statue the word “warrant” implies all that is covered by what is known as full war- ranty. If the word ‘‘warrant is omitted it operates as a quit claim. No seal is re- quired, and a married woman acknowledges in the same manner as her husband, Mortgages and leases are made in a similar manner.-—Correspondence of the Albany Law Journal.

le ee All A A The first requisite towards a really geod talker isto think clearly. Form definite and accurate ideas on subjects. Be sure that your information is correct and com- plete; then there is but little difficulty in talking. There isa kind of hesitation or embarrassment which results from nervous- ness, but that is soon overcome, and a clear- headed person seldom experiences any per- manent impediment in conversation. Of course, there is in this, as in everythin else, a reat deal in habit. Conversatiena pewers are suceptible of great improvement by assiduous cultivation. X., 2 gentleman on whom fertune had not smiléd, married a rich heiress, Miss D,, against the will of her brother, a gentleman in high position, Since his sister's mar- riage, . will not recognize either the wite er the liusband. One day he met X.; who came up and offered his hand. ‘‘Nevyer!” replied the implacable brother - in - law. ‘‘How / You refuse your hand tome !*said the late bridegroom. ‘‘f understand why you should not like to speak to your sister, who has made a bad match; but what rea- son have you for bearing a grudge i me, since I have made an excellent one.”

~~ Liver is King.

The liver is the imperial organ of the whole human system, as it controls the life, health and happiness of man. When it is disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of ailments are the natural result. The di- gestion of food, the movements of the heart and blood, the action of the brain and ner- vous system, are all immediately connected with the workings of the liver. It has been successfully proved that Green’s August Flower is unequalled in curing all persons afflicted with dyspepsia or liver complaint, and all the numerous symptoms that result from an unhealthy condition of the liver and stomach. Sample bottles to try, 10 cents. Positively sold in all towns on the Western Continent. Three doses will prove that it is just what you want.

Dear Sir—It is now two years since your “‘Censtitutional Catarrk Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. I have waited this ‘to see if the eure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘too good to true.” ;

I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. ‘The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. . Before I had. used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. 1 quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head. A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.
