LOVE'S FORM IS STILL.
Love’s form is still, for dear love is a-dying,
Upon his bed of roses quivering,
For love, who wounded others, heartless flying,
Himself was struck by Jove while on the
And fell to earth, in mortal anguish lying.
Why should love die? What is the use of sigh
ing
While you such doleful tender ditties sinpf?
Haste vou, my Phyllis, with quick footsteps
hieing.
No mournful requiem bring.
With drooping lips and dewy eyes half crying,
fcla-sto \ on your heart to offer for his buying.
Jove will repent him that he did this thing,
For your sweetheart, I’m sure there’s no de
nying,
Fit ransom is for love, the heart’s own king.
Ah, now I see your teardrops quickly drying 1
Love is again on wing!

Light on the Bluebeard Story.
Tho fascinating story of Bluebeard
ha3 a mythical rather than a mytho
logical origin. No ono has found his
prototype in the Vedas or in tho old
Greek or Roman authors. The story
is supposed to bo of French origin,
and it has even been suggested that
Bluebeard was no other than our
own much married Henry VIII.
There is, however, better reason for
believing that the original was Giles
do Laval, lord of Riaz, who was mar
shal of France early in the fifteenth
century. He was a brave soldier
whoso exploits in tho wars between
England and France are recorded in
history. According to Mizeray, ho
murdered his wives as soon as he
tired of them, and was himself even
tually strangled in 1410.
Tho story of Laval has, however,
not many points of resemblance, for
thoro is no mention of a key, and
Giles do Laval, moreover, used to
entice persons of both sexes to his
castle for the sako of their blood,
which he wanted for certain incan
tations he indulged in. Nor, indeed,
does the story fit in with our own
Henry VIII, and we are loft to be
hove that, .whatever the origin, tho
key and Bister Ann were added for
tho sake of effect. A variant of tho
story do Laval is told by
"T'dinslHkn whose, version tho
name is Rofez, marquis do
Laval, who lived in Brit.umy, and
was strangled and' burned for the
murder of his seven wives. Dr. C.
Taylor, it may he added, regarded
the story simply as fiction, a satire
on, or type of, the castle lords of the
days of knight errantry.—London

IVriisa, the Egotist.
In her entire mode of life, which
was, like that of most cats, distinctly
methodical, M’liss. produced tho ef
fect of a little egotist, and she was
cue. She was her own cat, not ours,
and her impulses and purposes be
gan and ended with herself. She was
also a tease, the first specimen of
that class, excluding, of course,
monkeys, I have seen among ani
mals, except a black and tan terrier,
the friend and torment of the one
that willed his feet. MTiss would
wait until one of tho other cats was

Doing Good by Stealth.
Tho church of St. Mary, in Kil
buru, n suburb in the northeast of
Lund :n, has had an unknown bene
factor for 10 years. On a certain De
cern k-r day, every year, an envelope
i found in tho collection box, con
taining £IOO. No effort is made to
discover the benefactor, for fear the
discovery might result.in the 10.-.s of
the annual gift.
A curious typographical error re
cently appeared in a daily paper. In
giving an account of an inquest, it
was stated, “The deceased bore an
accidental character, and the jury
returned a verdict of excallout
death. ”
The Medical society of Eern, Swit

prohibiting tho publication of ac
counts ot suicides, on tho ground
that tho reading of such accounts
suggests suicide to certain people.

QU.ydT SALEM.
A Totth Which the Individual*
ism of Early New England.
The very name “Salem” is an in
dex of its character, as well in sound
as in signification. Flow differently
does its measured cadence strike tho
car, with how much more of digni
; ty, comfort, tranquillity than that
of its brisk neighbor, Lynn, whose
sharp monosyllable causes ono an
inadvertent shock as tho brakoman
announces these two contrasted sis
ter cities to-tho traveler upon the
Eastern railroad. Tho story is told
of Phillips Brooks (with more au
thenticity than belongs to most of
the stories attached to him) that
coming into Salem from Boston ono
evening he remarked to a friend:
“What do you suppose I met coming
up your quiet street? A little dog
going over to Lynn to bark.”
Tho adjective which is oftonost
used of Salem is “conservative.” It
is well applied. Her very appear
ance is expressive, not of decay, hut
of Conservatism. Her old buildings
and dwellings are not left to disuse
and ruin. Far from it. They are ter/
anted with as much complacency
and pride (and at as high rentals) as
if there were no finer upon the con
tinent—and indeed there are not, if
: you accept tho criterion of those
who say that tho best house is the
! ono that has been longest lived in.
In truth many of the old houses
i aro possessed of great charm and
. beauty. Old ;md exquisite carvings,
' generous fireplaces (too often wall
ied in), wide hallways, handsome
j staircases, old fasbipned plate* and
; china, antique furniture and inter
! osting bric-a-brac,/ brought home
from distant lands, combine to lend
many of these old residences a rare
attractiveness. In others are to bo
found signs o)£ age of a different
kind, such as low ceilings, narrow
sti lirways, up.even floors, diminutive
window pahes and other tokens of
the inefflcjcncy of bygone days. Ono
virtue tivey all possess, the beauti
ful and the ugly alike, and that is
individuality. Nowhere certainly
; can thero ho found clearer' expres
; sion of the individualism of early
! New England than in the diversities
1 in appoar/nce and construction of
the dwellings of this old Puritan
city, fronts of 1,000 different de
! tii/us; ells and lean tos of tho most
peculiar-'" patterns; roofs of all de
scriptions—hip roofs, curb roofs,
gable roofs, shed reel- —windows of
| all sizes and shapes; doorways of
i diverse types, many of them quite
artistic.; chimneys that often look
; as if they wore the original strnc
-1 turns and the houses built round
j them, and interiors of equal divorsi
j ty, amuse as well as interest thoso
j who have not boon accustomed to
these old dwellings from their youth
up.
Tnoro is a deal of picturesqueness
I about them as well as a deal of dis
tortion and homeliness—much as it
j was, doubtless, with the humanity
which built them. —Boston Tran

Subduing a Murderer.
Dr. Cyrus Falconer, who recently
died at tho ago of 85, was a distin
• guisbed physician of Hamilton, O.
He was a trenchant fighter against
; every sort of wrong, and his pres
; ence and character commanded dof
! erence, even from desperate men.
! The Interior gives an example of this
power:
Tho doctor had been active in the
J prosecution of the assassin and des
| perado Tom McGeohan, who, though
, he murdered not less than six men,
could not bo convicted, and finally
was shot to death by a vigilance
committee. The fin swore ven
, gear.ee against the (lector, and soon
r.iT -r. fully armed, mot him cn tlio
; highway.
“Dr. Falconer.” said the as.-nssin,
“do you know that I am going to
kill you?”
Tho doctor noticed that his assail
: nnt was deadly pale. “Tom,” said
the doctor, “you know mo well
; enough to know that I am not afraid
i of you, rind you cannot f righten me.
Now what do you mean?”
The two stood in silence, the as
sassin’s hn.r.d in his side coat pocket.
I:i a moment fife doctor noticed with
groat r, lief the color coming into
Tern's face, which quickly deepened
into Cl ints- n.
“Te rn l knew I was safe,” said
tho <1 . -tor, “and I proceeded to give
