Sweet Love li dead;
Where dull we bury bfm?
In the green bed,
With no stone at bla bead,
Nor tears nor prayers to worry him.
Do yon think be will sleep,
Dreamless and quiet?
Tea, if we keep
Silence, nor weep
O'er the grave where the ground-worms riot.
By bis tomb let us part,
Bat hush 1 be is waking !
He bath winged his dart,
And bis mock cold heart
With the woe of want is aching.
Feign we no more
Sweet Love lies breathless
All we foreswore
Be as before !
Death may die, but Love is deathless.

' riblethan the execution we witnessed
to day ?" said a beautiful woman, dress
ed in the costume of the chatelaines of
the .fifteenth century, on the 10th of
June, 1415, in the front room of a small
building on the principal street of the
ancient city of Constance, in Baden,
where, at that time, the (Ecumenical
Council, which exerted so great an in
fluence upon the destinies of the Church
of Rome, was in session.
"The Emperor Sigismund," replied a
fine looking young man, who was hold
ing one of her hands in his own, "has
violated the solemn pledge he gave to
John Husb to protect him from prose
cution for heresy."
"So he has," rejoined the beautiful
creature. "What a miserable coward he
is, after promising John Hubs a safe
guard back to Prague, to yield to the
importunities of the Italian fanatics
who insisted that the bold Bohemian
preacher should be burnt at the stake!
And what a scene it was ! To strip the
clothes off the body of that venerable
scholar and have him slowly roasted
to death! I witnessed the horrible
spectacle because, to the very last mo
ment, I hoped that the Emperor would
pardon Huss. But when I saw trie ex
ecutioners setting fire to the faggots
round the stake, when the flames burst
forth, and the helpless victim cried out
in a heartrending tone, 'Lord God, have
mercy upon meP and when he then,
under the atrocious pain, began to
scream, and the dreadful odor of his
burning flesh reached my nostrils, I
fainted away; and when I reawoketo
consciousness, I cursed the day when I
became acquainted with Slgismund of
Hapsburg."
tered these words, and she paced the
small room, evidently a prey to intense
excitement
MAnd yet, Anna Van Staaden," said
the young man bitterly, "you are his
Imperial Majesty's mistress r
"Whose fault is it?" she cried.
"Mine?" he asked, ironically.
"Yes, yours, Antonio Von Bleichen.
Two years ago, at the masquerade at
Kuremburg, a cavalier came to me and
asked me to dance with him. I thought
it was you."
"And it was the Emperor Sigismund !"
he laughed.
"Yes, she said, excitedly, "it was he,
and believing it was you with whom I
had been in love for the three years
when I knew you, I gave up everything
to. him. If you put on the Imperial
ermine and the Order of the Golden
Fleece, you would bear the most strik
ing resemblance to him."
The young man burst into a peal of
laughter.
No wonder! no wonder !" he said.
"No wonder?" asked the young wo
man. "Are you a relative of his Imperial
Majesty?"
His face became very grave.
Putting his finger on his mouth, he
said to her:
"Anna, not another word on this sub
ject" "But I want to find it out, Antonio,"
she cried, wringing her hands almost
in despair.
"Keep still!" he said imperiously.
"Your father once asked me who I was,
and he had good cause to regret it!"
"Oh, yes, Antonio," she rejoined bit

The execution of John Huss, through
the violation of the Emperor Sigte-

.h InrtlfTrf throughout Southern Ger-

Suddenly he appeared in Heidelberg,
accompanied by a large retinae of ser
vants. With him was a beautiful woman.
When the elector of the Palatinate,
whose capital Heidelberg then was, re
ceived him, he said to the elector:
"Behold your Empress, the fairest
daughter of Hungary !"
The chivalrous elector of the Palati
nate knelt down, and kissed the fair
lady's hands.
Then followed great rejoicings. .
The huge wine tub in the Heidelberg
cellar was opened a tournament was
held and all possible attentions to
please his Imperial Majesty were paid.
When the Emperor Sigismund left the
beautiful university city on the banks
of that most enchanting of rivers, the
Nectar, the Elector of the Palatinate
made him a costly present of a four
diamond ring, and to the Empress he
gave two bracelets set with rubies and
sapphires.
Moreover, he sent with the Emperor,
who said he was going to Frankfort-on-the-Main,
an escort of fifty Palatine
cavaliers.
Two days later the cavalcade arrived
in Frankfort The Emperor did not
meet with a very favorable reception.
The sturdy and liberty-loving burghers
of that ancient free city refused to turn
out to do honor to his Majesty.
On the ZeiL the main street of Frank
fort, the Emperor and his Empress
were not only verbally insulted, but
pelted with rotten eggs.
Vainly did his Majesty rise again and
again in his gilded carriage to address
the unruly crowd. Their jeers and
scornful objurgations silenced him until
he gave it up in despair.
When he sat down the last time in
the carriage, by the side of his beauti
ful wife, a drunken fellow threw at
him a stone which hit him on the fore
head. He sank back with a groan, and
was believed to be dead. His wife
flung herseif upon him.
The escort charged the crowd, killing
a number of them. The wounded Em
peror was taken to the house of the
Burgomaster of Frankfort, where he
was tenderly nursed, and five days later,
arose from his sick-bed.
Then a deputation of the burghers of
Frankfort waited upon him. In the
address which they presented to him
they stated that his treatment of John
Huss had deeply offended them, but
that they hoped his Majesty would be
able to explain to them why he had vi
olated the parole given to the Professor
of Prague.
He arose slowly from his chair and
said:
"My good friends, in due time the
motives that actuated me in ordering
Huss' execution will become patent to
you. Until then I hope you will not
fail to bear true allegiance to the head
of the empire; and in order to show
you how solicitous I am to protect the
interests of your noble free city, I will
on this very occasion grant to you five
years' immunity from paying Imperial
taxes, provided you pay into my hands
nnw tfco sum of KOOOO Auoote."
The burghers consulted for a mo
ment and then respectfully informed
the Emperor that they accepted his
offer with many thanks. They also
told him that the money should be in
his hands the following hour.
Then the ladies of the Frankfort
aristocracy were ushered unto the par
lor where these deliberations had taken
place.
The Empress took her place by the
the side of her husband. She held her
hands out and many fair lips kissed
them.
Suddenly the wife of the syndic
stepped up, looking sharply at her.
The Empress extended her hand to
her.
The syndic's wife refused to kiss it
"How dare you refuse to do homage
to my consort?" cried the Emperor.
"Because she is no Empress at all,"
replied the syndic's wife, scornfully. "I
know her very well Her name is Anna
VonStaaden. Her own father has dis
owned her on account of her bad con
duct" The Empress had turned very pale.
The Emperor said to his escort:
"Take that foul-mouthed woman into
custody."
"iBdeed," exclaimed the syndic's wife,
"I know the privileges of the wife of a
Frankfort Senator. Even the Emperor
of Germany cannot order my arrest?"
So saying, she sallied out of the room.
Her bold declaration had produced a
profound impression upon the burghers
in the room.
Shaking their heads, they slowly went
out
Next day, 500 Austrian cuirassiers
galloped into Frankfort At their head
was the younger brother of the Em
peror Sigismund. He proclaimed the as
tounding news that Emperor Sigismund
had not left the city of Constance at all,
and that he who had personated him at
Heidelberg and Frankfort was a base
impostor.
An hour later the self-styled Emperor
and Empress were in jaiL But no crim
inal proceedings were instituted against
them.
The two pretenders disappeared from
Frankfort and nothing was heard of
them until the year 1434, when the Em
peror Sigismund died, and, in his will,
left the cruel order that a woman, con
fined in the spinning-house of Donau
woerth, should be strangled.
That woman was his former mistress.
The execution took place in the prison-yard.
She died courageously, and
only expressed the wish to find out
prior to death, what had become of her
paramour, Antonio, whom she had
never seen since they were arrested in
Frankfort.
None of the officials attending her
last moments were able to give her any
information upon the subject
Sebastian Seylor, the Gerawan histo
rian, says in his work o the Emperor
Sigismund:
"Since the false WoMemar of Bran-denbtrgcomattedWsiiifaMyarl6ar
impostor attempted to seise the crown
of the Annointed of the Lord than

became of him, I bare been unable to
find out notwithstanding my diligent
inquiries."

In view of the present complicated
situation of affairs in Europe, when
everybody is looking up as much and as
interesting information as possible con
cerning the nations involved, or likely
to be involved in the eastern difficulty,
there is hardly anything more accept
able to the general public than proph
ecy, and especially the prophecies of
such as bare made their predictions fit
into the facts of history.
Robert Nixon, an old English prophet
known also as the Cheshire Idiot, was a
cotemporary of the famous Mother Ship
ton, also of prophetic proclivities. Nix
on was born of poor parents, in the
vicinity of Vale Royal, on the edge of
the forest of Delamere. He was brought
up to the plow, but exhibited such re
markable ignorance and stupidity that
nothing could be made of hi m. He was
given to uttering strange and uncom
mon sayings, most of which have been
lost as the people believed him irre
trievably insane, and so paid no atten
tion to them. The time came, however,
when they did listen to him attentively
and treasured up all of his utterances,
and it came about in this way: Nixon
was one day engaged in plowing in the
field, when he stopped suddenly in his
work, and with wild look and strange
gestures, cried out : "Now, Dick ! No w,
Harry! O, ill done Dick! O, well done
narry! Harry has gained the day!"
His fellow-laborers did not know what
to make of this curious rhapsody, but
on the following day the meaning of it
was cleared up. Then the news was
brought in by a messenger that at the
very moment when Nixon was heard
to cry out Richard III had been slain
in the battle of Bosworth field, and
Henry the Eighth had been proclaimed
King of England.
The fame of the new prophet soon
spread and at last reached the ears of
the King, who expressed a desire to see
Nixon. A royal messenger was accord
ingly dispatched for him, but long before
he reached Cheshire Nixon knew and
dreaded the honors that were about to
be thrust on him. It is even said that
the fact was known to him as soon as
the desire to see him had passed the
King's lips, for on the same day he ran
about the town of Over in great dis
tress of mind, telling everybody he met
that he had to go to court, and would
be starved to death there (which was
angher remarkable prediction of his
that afterwards came to pass). On the
third day after this the King's messen
ger arrived and carried him off to court
On his arrival at court, the King, in
order to test his powers, pretended to
have lost a valuable diamond, and ask
ed Nixon to discover it for him. Nix
on's reply astonished the King, and
msufe him from that time forth place
implicit confidence in the prophet
The King at one time going out hunt
ing, Nixon followed him to the gate,
saying that he would surely starve dur
ing his absence. Henry asswred him
that such would not be the case, and
told one of his officers to take special
care of him and to feed him well during
the King's absence. This injunction
was carefully carried out and the
prophet fared well ; but as the servants
were wont to abuse him, the officer, to
quiet him, had to lock him in the
King's own closet whither he brought
him four meals a day. The officer, how
ever, was called by royal summons to
Winchester, on a matter of life and
death, and in the hurry of his depart
ure forgot all about poor Nixon, who
was locked in the closet He returned,
after three days, and found Nixon ly
ing on the floor, according to his own
prediction, starved to death.
Nixon faithfully prophesied a num
ber of events, and many of his biogra
phers have been led to believe that all
of his predictions will be sooner or later
fulfilled. This belief is, of course,
founded upon the fact that there have
been several coincidents in his sayings
and some of the leading events of Eng
lish history.
Among the prophecies believed to
have been fulfilled are the following,
which relate to the times of the Pre
tender: " treat man shall come late England.
Bat the sob of a King
Shall take frost him the TJctory."
"Grows shall drink the blood of many nobles.
And the North snail rise against the Soath."
"The Oeck or the north shall be nude to flee.
Aad his feathers be plucked for his pride.
That hi shall almost curse the day that he was
born."
The first was taken as a prophecy of
the battle of Culloden, and the defeat
of Prince Charles Edward by the Duke
of Cumberland ; the second, of the exe
cution of Lords Derwentwater, Balme
rino and Lovat; and the third, of the
retreat of the Pretender from the shores
of Britain.
Among the prophecies still remain
ing to be accomplished are the follow
ing: "Between teres, eight aad mine.
In Xaglaad wonders shall be seen ;
Between mine and thirteen
Ail sorrow ahaU be done."
"Thoagh enr own aeaey aad our sea
ShaU a dreadfal war begin.
Between the sickle aad the snek
AU Baglaad ahaU hare a alack."
'Terelga nations shall larade JSaglaad with
snow en their helmets, aad shall bring plagae.
famine aad marder la the skirts of their gar-
SMBtS."
The towa of Xantwlca ahaU. be sweat away
by a Seed.'
McKay, in his Memoirs el Extraordi
nary Popular Delusions, published in
1850, says concerning these unfulfilled
prophecies: "Of the first two no expla
nation has yet been attempted; but
some event or other will doubtless be
twisted into shape to fit them. The
third, relative to the invasion of Eng
land by a nation with snow on their
helmets, is supposed by the old wossen
to fortallmost dearly tocosug war
witmRessis. As to tk last, there are
not a few in tint town Smttosnad who
devoutly believe that such will be Its
fate."
The numbers in tke first verse might
at first be taken to refer to the particu
lar years of any decade of years, and the
thirteen might indicate the Uj-over
into the fourth year of the succeeding
decade.
All that remains is for some ingeni
ous chap to put this, that and the other
together, and show that these prophe
sies apply to Englad's peculiar position

Carlotta was transferred, a long time
ago, from the royal chateaa at La
Ellken, where she was a source of con
siderable annoyance to the royal fam

was specially fitted up for her. and
where she was treated with the utmost
tenderness. But she soon perceived
that she was a prisoner, and, in her
folly, she was so unusually sharp that
she succeeded in escaping one morning
early at dawn, and dying away, began
to plan for recommencing her cor
respondence with the Pope, with nu
merous emperors, and even with her
husband, the announcement of whose
death she had never been allowed to
hear until recently. When her escape
was discovered the captain of the guard
at the palace went nearly mad with des

found again. She had mounted a horse
in the chateau yard and wandered 'off
into the woods. This happened before

colony of the insane at Gheel, took

now in many respects perfectly sane.
She writes a great deal, paints,
studies music earnestly, and it is now
said that the doctor had the eourage to
tell her the truth concerning Maximil
ian's sad fate. She received the news
calmly, but it is Impossible to say
whether or not she appreciates its sig

of delirium, and one phase of her in
sanity has never quitted her. She is
still afraid that her food is poisoned,
and refuses to partake of it until some
one else has tasted it Her rase still
has many discouraging features, but it
was confidently hoped that the noted
doctor might be able to restore her com
pletely to reason. Death has taken him
away, however, and the success of les

A Shocking Sacrifice.
We hear a great deal about the River
Prifth in these days. My attention has
been called to a romance connected
with it just published in a Bucharest
journal, in the month of January last
a peasant living upon thePruth started
for the market town with his sledge,
having with him his wife and four
children. In the afternoon the party
was pursued by a pack of wolves. The
horse was put into a gallop at once, but
was too heavily weighted to do much
running, and the beasts were soon lap
ping their jaws within a few paces of
the party. Seeing that escape by flight
was out of the question, the father
seized one of his children and threw it
out to the pack. The poor victim was
soon devoured, and before the sledge
had gone above half a mile the wolves
were again upon it Another child was
sacriGced, and then another, and the
fourth and last had just been thrown
out when relief came in sight In her
despair the mother went to the authori
ties and denounced her husband as an
assassin. He was arrested, kept two
months in prison, and brought up for
trial last week. There was great ex
citement in the court when he related
the story of this shocking sacrifice. The
Judges said at the end if he had not
resigned himself to it he would have
lost his children all the same, and with
them his wife and his own life. He
was acquitted. Paris Cor. New York
Times.
Precaatioas of a Book Leader.
A correspondent of the Boston Tran
script writes:
"I have a considerable library, quite
miscellaneous in make-up, and I have
for years lent books under certain re
strictions. In the first place I seldom
lend a volume out of a set or if for
good cause I make an exception, I stip
ulate the time for its return, as I am a
firm believer in what is worth borrow
ing is worth returning. In the second
place, I keep an account of the books I
loan, to whom and when. In the third
place, when I need to use a book loaned,
or when I think it has been out long
enough to be read, I send for it, whether
the borrower be friend, neighbor or
acquaintance. In the fourth place, I
always intend to cover with paper a
book I lend, though I believe a careful
borrower should do this if the book is
taken uncovered. As to fine bindings,
I am more chary about loaning, my
decision depending upon the borrower
and my opinion of him or her.
"I seldom have lost a bosk by lend
ing. If the borrower dislikes being re
minded of his delinquency in keeping
the book an unnecessarily long time, or
of my (the owner) needing the same,
perhaps he will not soon again borrow,
which decision on his part suits me
exactly, if my experianoe with him
shows bis principles."
Lessons of wisdom have never such
power as when they are wrought into
the heart through the groundwork of a
story which engages the passions; is it
that we are like iron and must first be
heated before we can be wrought upon ?
or is the heart so in love with deceit
that where a true report will not reach
it we nmt chest it with a fable, fat

A Healthy Way to Cook Eno,
Butter a tin or plate and break in your
eggs, set in a steamer, place over a
kettle of boiling water and steam until
the whites are thoroughly cooked.
They are very ornamental broken into
(ratty tins, as they keep their form bet
ter. The whites when cooked this way
are tender and light and not tough, as
by any other process, and can be eaten
by invalids with impunity, and are cer
tainly very much richer.
Maryland Biscuit. One quart of
flour, one tablespoonful of lard, one tea
spoonful of salt water enough to make
rather a stiff dough about a toacup
ful. The dough may te beaten with a
pounding machine which comes for the
purpose, or with a rolling pin, potato
masher, or anything of the kind. If
strength and patience are available
knead with the hands till the dough is
perfectly smooth and while; it can not
be kneaded too much not leas than
half an hour. They can be cut with a
cutter, but are better if a piece of the
dough the size of a black walnut is
made into a ball and flattened with the
hand.
Guaiiam Bread. This is an easy
and a good way to provide loaves of
graham bread. When making common
white bread, set enough sponge at night
to spare a little for a graham loaf next
morning. Eor one common tin-loaf
take a little more than a pint of tho
sponge, add a tablespoonful of sugar,
and stir it thick with graham flour.
Stir well with a spoon, but do not knead
it r it may be too hard and dry. Turn
it into the butter pan, let it rise m a
warm place, and bake it slowly for an
hour or longer. Of course several loaves
may be made in this way, setting a fine
flour sponge at night and stirring gra
ham flour into the whole. Most jeople
will prefer this to loaves of undiluted
graham bread. Unless you put in sugar
or molasses, your graham bread made
with yeast is not half so sweet as gra
ham gems, especially if these are mixed
with sweet milk, either new or
skimmed. Many prefer to steam gra
ham loaves for an hour, and finish by
baking about 20 minutes to prevent a
hard crust
Charlotte Rubsk. This is usually
made in a scolloped oval tin mold three
inches in depth, but a quarter tin pan
can do the duty for it Dissolve one
large tablespoonful of gelatine in two
thirds of a tumbler of new milk, boiling
it slowly, having first wetted the gela
tine with two tablespoonfuls of cold
water, and soax it ten minutes, as this
makes it dissolve more readily in the
boiling milk, which can be heated as
the gelatine soaks. Add to it two large
tablespoonfuls of white sugar. Beat
three eggs well, and when the gelatine
is melted and the milk cooled enough
not to curdle it stir it carefully. Add
one teaspoonful of extract of vanilla,
or lemon ; then strain through a sieve.
Cut sponge cake into slices half an inch
thick, and fit them neatly and closely

first Beat up a pint of thick cream
with the milk and eggs, already pre
pared, until it is well frothed. Do it
either with a whip churn or egg beater;
turn in the beaten mixture ; cover it
with very thin slices of cake. Place
another pan over it; set in a cool place
for three or four hours, or as much
longer as you desire, and you will have
a delicious dish at a cheap rate.
Vinegar. Boil slowly for one hour
three pounds of very coarse brown su
gar In three gallons of water, work it
with a little yeast the same as you
would beer; then put it into a cask,
and expose it to the sun, with a pisce
of brown paper pasted over the bung
hole; and it will soon become fine vine
gar, fit for pickling or any other pur
pose.
Graham Crackers. Mix the best
Graham flour with cold milk, adding a
little butter; mix as soft as can be
handled, knead very thoroughly (say
fifteen or twenty minutes), roll thin, cut
in three-inch square cakes; lay so they
will not touch each other on a hot
sheet-iroa pan, and bake quickly for
fifteen or twenty minutes, according to
thickness; handle carefully while hot,
and when cold put away in a cool, dry
place.
Noodles. Best one egg with a small
pinch of salt mix stiff with flour, knead
and roll very thin, sift a little flour
over the sheet Then with a sharp knife
cut it as you would a roll of jeDy-cake,
but the slices must not be more than
an eighth of an inch thick. Shake it
out and leave it on the floured board
while the soup is bested and seasoned.

All arts which have a tendency to
raise man in the scale of being, have a
certain common bond of union, and are
connected. If I may be allowed to say
so, by blood-relationship with one an
other. Cicero.
When we meet with letter faro than
wast expected, the disapiointment is

When we meet with worse than was
expected, philosophers alone know how
to make it better. Ztmiuermann.

It la true there Is nothing displays a

All our distinctions are accidental ;
beauty and deformity, though personal
qualities, are neither entitled to praise
nor censure . yet it so happens that they
color our opinion of those qualities to
which mankind have attached respon
sibility. Zimmermann.
The horses which make the most
show are, in general, those which ad

men; and we ought not confound that
perpetual agitation which exhausts
itself in vain efforts, with the activity
which goes right to the end. Baron de
Stassart.
Domestic happine is the end of
almost all our pursuits, and the com
mon reward of our pains. When men
llnd themselves forever barred from
this delightful fruition, they are lost to
all industry, and grow caraless of their
worldly affairs. Thus they become bad
subjects, bad relations, bad friends, and
bad men. Fielding.
Art is the microscope of the mind
which sharpens the wit as the other
does the sight, and converts every ob
ject into a little universe of itself. Art
may be said to draw aside the veil from
nature. To those who are perfectly
unskilled in the practice, unitnbued
with the principles of art, most objects
present on ly a confused maw. HazI I tt
There is no more potent antidote to
low sensuality than the adoration of
the beautiful. All the higher arts of
design are essentially chaste without
respect to the object They purify the
thoughts as tragedy purifies the pas

worth consideration there are souls to
whom not even a vestal is holy.
