A LEGAL LOVER.
KFOHE tho waits was over

Tlioy sought a moment'
brief respite
Out of tho whirl and whero

Was go ft and mellow.
And there lu hnpplncss nlono
They sat mull tho Unto had blown
A tt 111 to drown tho final tono
That nllcd tho 'cello.
OutsUlo tho window they could boo
Tho snow upon tho winter tree,
Whoso twigs otico trembled with tho glee
Of Eiimmer's swallows.
And wlillo upon this scono Intent ,
They gazed, a my of sentiment
Appeared, and conversation went .
Bomowhat an follows:
. r
"Clarissa" hero ho paused n while
To contcmplato Clarissa's smllo . s
And polish uphls verbal stylo; "
She, lightly drumming
Her fingers ou tho window, lest,
KmbatTosscd, ho forget tho rest,
Oavo him n chance and meanwhile guessed
Just wliat was coming,
"Clarissa" hero ho took her band ,
To help his rhetoric to land;
Bho let him hold tho fingers, and, r
Ily squcczo Judicious,
And gcntlo turning of her head, .
Bho punctuated what ho said fr
An action which, Interpreted,
Meant "How delicious I" S
'Clftrivn, darling" after thcio
Ho suffered an cmphntlo squcczo
"I love you" hero upon his knees,
lu truo dovotlon,
Ho knelt before Clarissa, who
Was all uncertain what to do;
Her heart seemed practicing a now
Eccentric motion.
k
Tlicn, llko a fervent worshiper,
Ho told bis In'ods of lovo to her;
Said bo: "Clarissa, 1 prefer
To mako llfo's journey
Along tho paths of Paradise"
Ho said that scutenco over twice,
And thought it Hounded rather nlco
For on. attorney.
"I'm poor," ho said (Lovo'o truest art
Makes this a sotto voce part),
"nut if you'll promlso mo your heart
In sweet surrender,
Wo shall not want for sordid gold;
Clarissa, you are wealth untold
You nro" tho metaphor was bold
"My legal tender."

Hussla's most brilliant explorer, Gen. Pro
Jwrilsky, starts In n few day in quest of now
discoveries hi Central Asia. Ho takes with
him n, lino equipment nud n force of forty
men, expects to Ik) gono two years and hopes
to do for tho geography of western Thibet
xthnt ho hns already accomplished during his
four previous Journey in eastern Thibet
mid lu a great region north nnd northeast of
that country. Ha will try once moro to reach
Llasa, but itwill not bo surprising If ho falls.
Ho hns already been twlco repelled on his
way to tho holy city of tho Ituddhista, whoso
approaches nro now moro Jealously guarded
than over.
Gen. Projovnkky has dono far moro than
ny other explorer to open tho sealed liook
of central Asia. The man who has given to
tho mnps tho great mountain rnngo of tho
Altiau-tagh, which buttresses on the north
tho lofty Thibetan plateau, nnd who wns tho
first to trace tho source of tho lloang-ho
nnd tho Ynusto-klang ns they spring from
tho Kucn Ltiu mountains, deserves to rank
among tho first explorers of his time. Ho
wo:) tho first traveler In modern times to
visit Lako Lob, described by undent writers,
and ho mado tho surprising discovery that
at tho west end of this salt lako its waters
aro sweet nud potablo whore It receives thu
Tnrlm afljuont. Ho was tho first traveler
MiiccMiif-co Polo, six centuries ago, to boo
tho wild camel of tho Lob desert, and ho has
enriched tho museums of his own country
with thousands of specimens of tho Imper
fectly known Horn and fauna of tho lofty
plateau and Immense desert of central Asia.
Iltit tho greatest of Prejovolsky'sdlscovciics,
and ono that deserves to rank with tho most
uotnblo achievements of 8cko and Stan
ley, Is tho fact ho mado known
that an uninterrupted, gignntio mountain
wall stretches from tho HoangOio to tho
Pamir, dividing tho loftiest plain of thocaith
into two jiarts the Mongolian desert on tho
north and the Thibetan plateau ou tho south,
regions that aro as perfectly distinct in their
geology, flora, fauna, and inhabitants as
though many hundreds of miles stretched be

Tho atcut is an appliance, shaped liko a ,
