IN THE NEST.
Gather them close to your loving heart—
Cradle them on your breast;
They will soon enough leave your brooding care,
Soon enough mount youth’s topmost stair—
Little ones in the nest.
Fret not that the children’s hearts are gay,
That their restless feet will run;
There may come a time, in the by-and-by,
When you'll sit in your lonely room and sigh
For a sound of childish fun;
When you’ll long for a repetition sweet,
That sounded.through each room,
Of ‘Mother,’ ‘Mother,’ the dear love-calls
That will echo long in the silent halls
And add to their stately gloom.
There may come a time when you’ll longto hear
1 he eager boyish tread,
The tuneless whistle, the clear, shrill shout,
The busy bustle in and out,
And pattering overhead.
When the boys and girls are all grown up
And scattered far and wide,
Or gone to the undiscovered shore,
Where youth and age come nevermore,
You will miss them from your side.
Then gather them close to your loving heart,
Cradle them on your breast,
They will soon enough leave your brooding care*
Soon enough mount youth’s topmost stair—
Little ones in the nest.

The speaker was about
to leave the room when a
middle-aged man who had
watched him closely, tap
ped him on the shoulder.
‘Oh, is it you ?’ Clyde
Wylde said,turning slight
ly pale. ‘I thought you
had left the city.’
‘Not yet,’ was the reply,
‘I cannot go without mon
ey. If you will redeem
your promise to-night, I
will sail to-morrow.’
•You will, eh ? How
much do you want?’
‘One thousand dollars!’
•Why don’t you ask for a
million ?’
‘I wouldn’t be bothered
with so much money.’
‘Oh!' sneered Clyde
Wylde, ‘I have not got any
money.’
‘You put on a great many
airs for a bankrupt.’
The young man flushed.
■I intend to keep my
promise. You shall have
the sum desired as soon
as—’
‘As you have led Dot
Whyrl to the altar,and got
your fingers on her purse
strings.’
‘I cannot give you any
money before that event.’
•Pshaw ! If the old gen
tleman entertains any re
spect for his future son-in-
law, he will not refuse to
advance him one thou
sand.’
‘I don’t ruin my pros
pects by asking loans from
him Clyde Wylde said firmly,Meet me here to
morrow morning at eight, and after that you
may sail whenever you wish. And the sooner
the better, 1 assure you.’
The interview was ended. Clyde Wylde step
ped into the elegantly carpeted apartment of
an elevator while the middle aged man saunter
ed idly from the hotel.
The young gentleman ascended to his room
and made his toilette for an evening call.

Spanish marriage had been a genuine love matoh,
and because in those five short months she had
won golden opinions from all sorts of people.
It is startling however, to see it openly stated
in print that suspicions of foul play are rife,
and that even the name of the person who ad
ministered the drug has been mentioned. There
were, it is true, other reasons why she should
have been out of health; but lately the symptoms
were, li is true, oiner reasons wuy sue tmuum
have been out of health; but lately the symptoms
have been clearly those of arsenical poisoning.
The poor girl, who passed her eighteenth birth
day on her sick bed, had it is said, a terror of
the near approach of death, and earnestly
implored the physicians around her to save her
life. The last struggle was long and violent,
Happily, her mother, who for some time past
had been exceedingly uncomfortable about
Mercedes, and was but too well aware of the
inimical influences surrounding Alfonso’s wife
yet was herself debarred from her residence in
Spain, was with the little Queen ere the end.
It is thought the Duke of Montpensier op
posed the embalming of his daughter’s body, be
cause should a post-mortem examination of the
remains be at any time determined on, the
‘Crannal’ process, whose chief ingredient is arse
nic, would render impossible the detection of
poison. Not long betore this fatal illness a dis
graceful squabble over the Royal jewels, valued
at 8,000,000 frances, had broken out between
the young King and his mother. Alfonso, who
really wanted them for Mercedes, claimed the
oems as irown nroDertv. but Isabella, like the
