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. Dot’s Devotion; -OE,— OUTWITTED Bf I COMPLEIE IN ONE NUMBER. 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. oaveTay peStcBiiaflie is out of my Sight for go to the seaside this sum mer; but now she is quite eager to go,and alone.

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.
