A Short and Long Poem.
My wife is small,
And I am tall;
And whenever she looks at me, you soe—
For I am tall,
And she is small-—
he must always “turn up her nose’’ at me.
When down 1 gaze
On ber, she says:
“I must always look up to you, for wee
Of form am 1.”
“That's true,'” I sigh,
And youalwaysturn up your nose at mel"
Her face is fair,
And bright her hair,
A nd her eves areas brown as brown can be;
Iled as the rose
Her lips; her nose—
©ut she always turns up that nose at me.
Last year I met
This pert young pet,
And a falry forsooth, she reemed to be
I cried : “How fair!”
And 1 declare
That she turned up herda
inty nose at me,
Her hips 1 kissed—
Who could resist?
“Little kitten, my puss and wee wife be
Her eyes 80 brown
Looked shyly down
And she didn’t turn up her nose at me!

tendered on every side, As she was

Stung to the quick by this brutal re-

the four points of the compass from the

right hand corner, facing the sea, stands
the Cafe de la Perle, where the better

look about the place, he walked straight
to a round table where three Arabs
were silently sipping an iced beverage.
“Pardon me, lieutenant,” said he,
addressing himself to one of the three,
‘“‘was it not you who said at the races a

and chilled by the mist, the poor souls
are assisted up the side of a steamer,
which awaits their arrival to convey
them to the hospital at Constantinople,
They are hoisted up the ladders as
well as possible by the sailors, now and
then bruised against the netting or
drenched by the surf. For two days
they steam across the Black sea, be-
neath a wild sky, and, amid the roar of
the tempests, many a suffering soldier
breathes his last, and is consigned to a
watery grave in the briny deep, The
reverse side of a medal gained in times
of war is not always pleasant to con-
template,
At last they glide into the calmer
waters of the Bosphorus, regaining their
wonted spirits as nature seems to pre
sent a more smiling face. At dusk, in
rough wagons drawn by oxen, they are
jolted up the abrupt slopes of Pera,
Military nurses await them at the doors
of the hospital, and the weak, fainting
soldiers are carried to beds where, too
often, nightmare and insomnia are ren-
dered more frightful by the groans and
death rattle of the dying.
Quiet seems to prevail in this long,
whitewashed hall, dimly lighted by the
¥
flickering flames of the night lamps,
only when, like guardian angels, hover-
ing over the sufferer’s couch, the Sisters
of Charity with their great white, wing-
like bonnets, move noiselessly from one
bed to another, on their mission of
mercy,
To the dying come tender memories
of their native land, an inexpressible
consolation in their last moments; to
the living a future prospect of a return
to thelr distant homes is opened as they
gaze upon the placid features of these
holy daughters of mercy.
How many owe their moral as well
as their physical resurrection to the ten-
der care of Sister Theresa. An inde-
fatigable nurse, she glides quietly from
bed to bed, her calm, sweet fuce re-
sembling some hieratic figure,
Of a chaste and severe style of beauty,
purified by worldly sorrow, she seems
one of those Druidesses of ancient Gaul,
80 great is the respect she inspires, as
she moves about the hospital with her
rosary dangling from her waist, No
trouble is too great for her, and when
| the hot south wind makes the wounded
{ and sick pant like thirsty beasts, she is

A Room lined with Amber,
Most smokers are proud to own a real
amber mouthpiece, What would they
say to a room 75 or 100 feet square,
lined on all sides with amber clear to
the lofty ceiling? That is what we saw
at Tsarskoe Selo, an {imperial summer
palace near St, Petersburg. The preci-
ous fossil-gum was cut and dove-tailed
80 a8 to make beautiful figures of cupids,
fruits and flowers. The whole is in the
highest state of polish. It reflects the
light not only from its surface, but
from its depths, and is lovely to look
upon, even if one did not think of the
treasure expended in procuring all that
rare product of nature. We made a
weary round of a hundred rooms all
gilded and upholstered magnificently,
and full of art objects from every part
of the globe, but saw nothing that spoke
so eloquently of boundless wealth and
luxury as that amber-lined ceiling.”
Do not pasture a meadow in the

PHARAOH'S HOUSE.
Ruins of a Palace Referred to by the
Prophet Jeremiah,
Another very curious and interesting
discovery has been made in the loneliest
and dreariest corner of the delta plain
of lower Egypt. In the land where
previous explorers have found only the
monuments of an extinct faith and the
graves of a dead nation. Mr. Flinders
Petrie has lighted upon the ruins of a
royal palace, The fortunate finder of
vast amount called Tell
which historians have long
with the Pelusiac Daphnm of the
Greeks and the Tahpanhes of the Bible.
Here he has discovered the ruins of
that very palace to which, as recorded

Egyp-
tian inscriptions say that Nebuchad-
nezzar did come to Tahpanbes, and
spread out his pavilion on that very
ey, but they say that he was defeated,
conquered, and the truth is hard to de-
termine,
The philosopher spends in becoming
a man the time which the ambitious
man spends in becoming a personage.
80 vital a necessity to all living men
is truth, that the vilest traitor feels
amazed and wronged--feels the pillars
of the world shaken-—when treason
recolls on himself,
If those who are the enemies of In-
nocent amusement had the direction of
the world they would take away the
spring and youth; the former from the
year and the latter from life,
The warm sunshine and the gentle
zephyr may meet the glacier which has
bid defiance to the howling ; 80

heart which Bo severity could subdue.
Humanity is never so beautiful as
