THE MASDOLIN4TA.
The nfsht is still, the windows are open,
The sir with odors i« sweet ;
Hark ! some one is humming the Mondoli
nata
Along the open street.
The Msnolinats! Ah. me! ns I hear it,
Before me yon seem to rise
From the other world, with your gentle
presenee.
Your tender and smiling eyes.
JTow we jested together, and hummed to
gether
That old and threadbare song,
With forced intonations and quaint affecta
tions.
That ended in laughter long !
How oft in the morning, beneath your win
dow,
I framed to it hnntoring words, \
And heard from within your sweet voice an
swer
With a flute-tone like a bird* 1 * 1
And yon opened your shutters and sang,
“flood morning,
O, Troubadour, gallant and gav !"
And I chanted, “0, lovely and lazy (ady,
I die or this long de'av 1
O, hasten, hasten 1” “I’m coming, I'm com

Thy lady is coming to thee
And tk.en yon drew back in you* chamber,
laughing—
0, who were so foo!i«h as we ?
Ah, me! that vis ; on comes up before mp ;
' How vivid and yonng and gav !
Ere Death like a snddpn blast blew on you,
And swept life’s blossoms away.
Buoyant of spirit, and glad and happy,
Aed'gentle of thought and heart ;
Ah! who wnnld believe you were mortally
wonnded,
So bravely you played your part ?
We veiled our fears and onr apprehensions
Withliopeg that were all in vain ;
It was only a siidden cough and spasm
Betrayed the j»w»rd,pnin.
In the midst of oup jesting and merry laugh

Through the easement the wind is moaning,
On the pane the Ivy crawls,

Where once there was music nnd laughter
Stands Death in the empty hail.

Tlie Emperor of Germany in
Old Age.
The Puke ol Wellington in Imp most pop
ular dnvs was not more familiarly known
ami beloved than the Emperor William.
Hid laureled bust, flanked by the famous
Paladins of his Conrt, is in every honse ; his
photographs in every album ; the proprietor
of the meanest village ale-house in the
conntry thinks it as necessary to preeuro
and hang up a painting of the Kaiser ns to
purchase a license for the sale of liquor.
Without the one he wouh! not he permitted
to receive customers, and without the other
his customers would desert him. The corn
flower, now the rational emblem of Prussia,
has supplanted nil the (air inhabitants of the
garden in the efT-ctions of the people. The
ladies wear it in their bonnets, and em
broider it on their dresses. Publishers nre
sure a hook of poems will sell if hut the
cornflower is last* fully worked into the bind
ing. It is placed in the centre of these
gigantic bouquets of the rarest flowers which
are being forever pressed on the acceptance
of the Emperor. But bouquets form a verv
small part of the gifts wh’ch struggle and
jostle for admission into the Palace, and the
Emperor has occasionally to issue an edict
commanding the cessation of this flood of
popular generosity, lest it m i g |,t appear he
had come to live on the bounty of his sub
jects.
Of nil Engbsh sovereigns King Henry V.
was probably most popular, htenuso he hud
subdui*d France and flattered the military
instincts ol his countrymen, and for the voty
same reasons the Emperor William is the
idol of bis people. Before all things he is a
soldier. His army never goes ont to tight
but he places himself at its head ; ai d the
spectacle of so old a man enduring all the
toils and hardships of the tented field prob
ably does more than anything else to inspire
bis helmeted legions with that courage and
endurance which enable them to conquer
wherever they go—which nerved them in the
teeth of a deadly iron hail to pour triumph
antly into the redoubts of Duppel, to strew
the ground with the flower of Austrian mnn
hood at Sadowa. and to scatter to the winds
the fairest chivalry of France on the ensan
guined plain of Gravelotte. The Emperor is
a sovereign of the type of Saul—a very
leader of bis flock. His cherry Guten
morgen, mehie Kinder, as he rides along the
line of his guards calls to mind the enthusi
asm created by Royal Harry among the
English archers at Agincourl as he walked
from tent to tent and “bade them good
morrow, with a modest smile calling them
brothers, friends and countrymen." Even in
the palace his Majesty's babes smack o( the
camp, being both regular and simple. He
sleeps on-a bed which for hardne-s of bot
tom and lightness of covering would have
even satisfied the Duke of Wellington. He
smokes oot. neither does he snufl but he is
fond of flowers and fresh air. ‘Alehr Lu/t,
mehr Lufi’’ is a delicacy be is ever inquest
of. tits Majesty jg most temperate in the
use of wipe, one glass of Burgundy or so
oemg all the stimulant a day desires : but
on the piker baod. he iss’ill gifted with an
has always been an early riser, nnd a enp of
enff'e with a hispoit, placed on his writing
desk in his favorite corner-room looking out
on the Linden, is sufficient to sustain him
through the working part of the dav. His
Majesty’s midday meal is taken as if he had
suddenly dismounted at a wayside inn and
desirpd to snatch a morsel of nourishment
before pressing on to pngage the enemy On
the ledge of a honk-ease hearing the inscrip
tion “Kriegsgeschiehle" the Emperor’s frugal
lunch is placed, which he always takes alone,
not even sitting down ti e while, bnt won
dering about the room opening a volnmp or
examining the various ohjepfs of art nnd
beantv stored in perplexing profndon around.
Anil this soverp •dnpiioitv of life is the
secret, doubtless, of his unimpaired pnnsti.
tntion At an age when physical frailties
make cruel burden to most men,
his Majesty is JtitJ in the enjoyment of lusty
IteaMh and vigorous power of work, nor does
the weight of over 82 years perceptibly bend
his tall and stalwart frame. He scorns to
be thought on the wane, nnd the considera
tion which would occasionally offer him an
assisting arm or sympathize with a passing
adment is not always entirely welcome. His
Majesty is never happier than when receiv
ing repnrls of his Ministers nnd Generals,
never more eoplenled than when reviewing
his guards. Every day almost of the last
few weeks has seen him for spypral hoars in
the saddle, and upright in it, too, sometimes
beneath n scorching sun, cantering across
the parade-ground with a firmness of seat

Texan Manifestation of Friend
ship.
A friend gives us the following little anec
dote ns illustrative of the neighborly love of
the people of Texas :
He and n Texan, who wns contemplating
the purchase of a rancho somewhere in
Tmekee Meadows, were out on horseback
looking at the farms nnd cattle ranges along
the river. As they leisurely followed the
meanderings of the stream they presently
saw two horsemen on the opposite bank. As
the two parties approached each other the
Texan with our friend recogn zed in one of
the men on the opposite bank of the river
an old friend and a man who was one of his
nearest neighbors at home. The two mpn
hailed each other from the opposite banks
of the stiearn and, exchanging greetings,
many friendly questions were put nnd an
pwered. The men were evidently delighted
to meet each other, and their only regret
appeared to he that they encountered one
another in a place where it wus impossible
for them to clasp nnd shake hands, the river
not beirg fordable on account of its swiftness
a> d the rocky and treacherous nature of its
channel, while the nearest bridge was five
miles above. Both men lamented these un
tortunate circumstances very much, but at
length u way of getting over the difficulty
suggested it pelf to the drover, whose pt t
name was “Broncho Bill.”
“I sny, S im !” crie.l Broncho, “it’s a littto
rough tor old friends and n< ighhors to meet
away out here thousands of miles Irom home,
and then have to part in this way. Got yt-r
pistol with ye? - ’
“1 hev !” cried Snm, “I allers carry her !”
‘•Good ! That’s soiu" comfort ; el wo cun’t
I get across this stream to shake hands, why
tliArlfi nothin’ to pievent us ftotn tnkin’a
I shot at each oil er. Jist ride np to yer l< ft
• thar a rod or two. Now. then, jist one good
| old neighborly home shot.”
The men rode aside, and bang ! bang !
went their pistols.
■•Yer smashed the pommel of my saddle,"
cried Broncho; “yer fire the cussed horse
shied o little jut as yer turned loose, or yer
nvght r plumped me good ”
“You done better. Bill ; you got into the
i flesh of my left arm ’bout half an inch. Good
mornin’ to you ; a safe journey to yei, and
tell the folks at home we met and Imd a good
sociable tints together.”
• Thank yer, an’ the same to you—bet I'll
give. ’em a good account of yon.”
Sam then turned to our friend and, with
tears in his eyes, said : “God bless him !
It iH a great comfort to meet an old friend
and neighbor like him away out here in this
wilderness place. A kinder, more accom
modative and agreeable gentleman never
I ved. I would not a missed seeing him for
s">oo.” —Virginia [Ncv.) Chronicle.
Oue of flie Lovers of Catherine
of Russia.
Of the numerous lovers or favorites of
Catherine 11., the most celebrated and dis
tinguished, was Prince Potemkin. Tie is
said to have been Ihe only man whoh'd ever
dared to make love to her before sht had
given him the signal to do so, and that he
was truly and romanthnMv captivated hv
her. But this is very difficult to believe ;
for she was 45 when be first rose to favor.
She bud grown very stout ; the graces of
youth had long taken flight ; her life had
been one of personal pn fl gacy, unparalleled,
except perhaps by that of the Empress
Elizabeth. She was’horoughlv cold-hearted,
cruel, hypocritical, and selfish. Her vanity
was inordinate, and the grossest flattery
acceptable to her. She may therefore have
believed that Potemkin, who was 17 years
her junior, was enamored of her rather than
of the wealth and honors she so lavishly
showered on the ineo who obtained her favor.
Potemkin wn» poor, and of an humble fain
ily of Smolensk But he was six feet four,
extremely handsome, ambitious of wealth
and fame, and as audacious, unscrupulous,
and unprincipled os his Imperial mistress
herself. He was accustomed to present ihe
Empress with a plate of cherries every New
Year’s day. obtained at an enormous cost.
He sent couriers into all countries for nose
gays or 100 miles for a melon, or to the
Urimea for grapes. The Prince de Linge
said “there is something barbarously romnn
tic iu his character.” His victoii-s increased
the celebrity of the Empress, "I'admi ration
fut pour elk." says Segnr, “rf la haine pour
son Ministre. ” His death was as extraordi
nary as his life. He had spent a whole year
in the most degrading dissipation, Irom
which his health suffered. Hoping to regain
it by retiring to Nicolaieii, he set out with
his niece, the Countess Branicka, for an es
tate he had there. On the journey he be
came worse, and desired to be lilted from his
carriage and placed under a tree on the road
sde. Scarcely bad bis servauts laid him
there than, heaving a deep sigh, but without
uttering a word, he expired. He was in his
tony- seventh year ; his death took place on
favorites, Gregoire Orloff, became insane
frorne the effect >, it is reported, of powerful
drugs administered by Potemkin, who was
jealous oi his continued credit with the Em
press.— Temple Bar.
Ancient Memphis.
A traveler in the East gives the following
interesting Recount of his visit to the re
mains of ancient Memphis, founded by the
first known Egyptian King—Me nos : “But
wlnit d'd we see of this wonderful city? Only
a succession of mounds.” says the writer ;“a
few pieces of ancient statues ; and far down
below the present level, with its face in the
centre, a magnificent figure of a woman in
Egyptian dress, with noble feature and finely
modeled form, almost perfect,although prob
ably 4,000 years o!d. As a matter ot course,
we lingered nnd looked as long as we
thought sentiment r< quired, then pushed on
to the remarkable ruiqs of the cemetery,
which w«9 connected with this city, or I
should say, magpifieent city of the dead to
the very confines of which Memphis extend
ed. It is now bnt a little more than a vast
mountain of sand, being just on 4he precincts
of the African desert. There are so many
tombs everywhere peeping out, and so large
a number p! pyramids— 81 in »iik— scattered
about, ihAt the interest is keenlv>X“lted at
once ; and at every step some new develop
ments take place. When we remembered
that old Memphis was 17 miles in circuit,
and was occupied with -villas, gardens and
sacred groves, we'can realiz'* more than in
any other way ihe wondrou-ness nf the scene
which remains to us to-day, After passing
the largest pyramid, considered the oldest
monument of antiquity in the world, we de
scended rapidly to the one little house of
refuge standing in the midst of the sand, dis
mounted and lunched—thus securing a good
resting season, and after about an hour
started out with our guides to the two spec
ial points of interest here, the mausoleum of
the Bacrr-d Bull, and the tomb ol the priest
Till, the latter built about ,‘IOSO I! G. These
were uncovered in 186(1 by the Egyptian
authorities, who first noticing mounds in the
sand bearing Ihe appearance of heads, ap
pointed a commission, and after a labor of
16 months, an avenue of sphynxes, 600 feet
long, was laid open, the pedestals or statues
being perfect in all eases. This was paved
and It’d to the mausoleum of the Sacred Bull,
where these objects of worship, had been en
tombed for several dynastic*. There were
found three separate chambers of temples,
the latest where dates were found—<sfro B
C —being the only one open One cannot
hdp feeling an interest in every detail of
such u place. There are the, long avenues,
broad and high, hewn in the solid rock, while
all along the sides are deep recesses where
ate now standing the sarcophagi of the bulls.
'Twenty-five perfect ones stand in one ar
chive, each weighing forty lons, uDd many
of them fully engraved with figures, repre
senting life, death and immortality. Rut it
is no more wonderful to see them where they
are than to understand how they were put
there. One which was presented to the
French had been abandoned «Ua moved
some little distance, as too heavy to be taken
away. They are 13 feet long, 11 feet high,
and 7 feet deep, and, although many of the
covers have been removed, nothing wus found
in any ol them. Above ihe Sarcophagi are
inscriptions relating to their burial, and in
whose reign they died. Muny tubiets were
found upon the walls, which were placed
there as offerings to the god; these, how
ever, were ail allowed to be taken to Paris.

A certain gentleman purchased a pair of
pants a few days ago, which, upon being
tried on at home, he found to be ton long,
'that night he remarked to his wife that he
wished her to take ofl about an inch from
each leg. which would make 1111111 the de
sired length. Being fond of teasing her
husband, she told him that she shouldn’t do
anything of the kind, and he retired without
having obtained a promise from her that she
would attend to the mutter.
Soon after he had left the room, however,
she. as a matter ot course, clipped off the
superfluous inch, as she had been asked to
do. The family is composed cf six lemale
members, and each one of the five, who were
in adjoining rooms, heard the dispute be
tween man and wile, and after the latter had
taken off the required inch and retired, the
old lady, desiring to “keep p<ace in the fam
ily." and not knowing what her daughter
in-law had done, cautiously slipped into the
room and cut off another inch.
In this way did each of the five Indies,
unknown to the other, and all with the
praisworthy object ot preventing any mis
understanding between the couple, clip an
inch from the legs of the gentleman's tiou
sers.
The following morning, all unconscious of
what had taken place during the night, he
rolled up his pants itt a piece of paper, and
took them to the tailor to be shortened to
the desired length. Upon a hasty glance
the latter ventured ihe opinion that they
were already short; but the oyt er insisted
that they were Tolly an Inch touching. The
tailor had no more to ray. at $ mar ftiend
retired.
Ou the following Saturday he calkd for
the pants and took them home, and was
supremely disgusted at finding that the legs
reached only a trifle below the kuce. lie
straightway accused the tailor, but his wife
heard him, and came to the rescue, explain
ing that she had taken au iueh from each of
the legs, and her acknowledgement was fol
lowed by that of each of the other five
ladies, when i, was d'seoveieu ih-t alto
gether the legs bad been shortemd to the
extent of e> ven inches. —Allentown Chronicle.
