'Tis o’er ; he leaves the lonely road Whereon he fared so long: The gentlest, brightest knight of God ; The Galahad of song. Tho only one of all ourlmights Who were the snmv-whife mail, . And turned from strife and lewd delights To seek the holy grail. His path was not were factions cry, 0r where the fretful moan ; Where life runs stillest he passed by, In maiden thought alone. I Calm were the ways his white steed trod, Calm were the heavens and air ; Wherc‘er he rode signing of God The world grow very fair. He drew aside from friends and foes To hush his soul apart; Clear on the air his song arose Out of a. faithful heart. ’Twas something, nay ’twas much, when life Seemed dreariest to our gaze, To hear above the waves of strife That gentle note of praise. Far off it seemed too pure, too sweet, For doubts as dread as ours; Yet when we listened, round our feet, We felt the grass and flowers. And if we sighed to think he sought A dream of no avail, Into our souls his music brought Strange glimniers of the grail. When godlikesingers, too, had fled, And left the race forlorn ; When all the white immortal throng Had left the sunless land, How sweet it was to hear that song Of God and fairyland. The voice is dumb, the song is o'er, The long, glad quest is done; The lonely ways will know no more Our stainless, shining ones. And we, the remnant which remain Of the great table round ; Less, yet his brethren, ne’er a ’ Shall see him laurel crown . Into the glooms of God he goes, Our Galahad of song ; Perchance e’en now those glooms disclose The grail he sought so long. Nay, for, despite his life-long quest, He gained his soul’s desire ; The grail was burning in his breast, His own pure heart of fire. He who like him is stainless learns That faith can never fail, Since not without, but in us, burns God's heart, the heavenly grail. Peace to the knight who kept his vow While others slept like sand; But who shall sing to mortals now Of that lost fairyland? â€"Robert Buchanan. â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"-i-â€"â€"-zâ€"s-â€"1-â€"â€"fl A CORSICAN EPIC. When all the beauteous gods were dead Who left the world at mom, 1.... was to be judged by his own kindred, if not by the courts. There was not the slightest indecision. His son spoke in the name of all ; he simply said to him : “Do you wish to pay a. visit to the tomb of your mother?” “But it is not the anniversary of her I death.” There was a. moment of solemn silence. i “Then go up to our room and finish I what you have to 0, While we pray for your soul.” The Preceptor understood; he was con- i demned to death; he must kill himself. “You have an hour before you," they added. I The unfortunate man turned beseechingly toward his wife; she turned away her head. It was all over 1 He must meet his fate, resign himself to the sentence pronounced a. ainst him. He could not hope for pardon. e bowed his head, cast a despairing look upon those Whom he loved, with whom he ! had lived, and slowly mounted to his chamber. The family remained kneeling in silence. At the theatre such a scene would assuredly be profoundly dramatic; judge then of what it must be in real life. A half-hour passed in anxious waiting; no sound was heard save the steps of the con- demned man on the floor above, as he paced feverishly to and fro. Suddenly he called. He wished to embrace his little daughter, a. child of six or seven years old. Her brother, the itiless judge, sent the child to him. The recep- tor kept her with him about twenty min- utes ; then a voice cried to him that the time granted him was about to expire, and commanded the little girl to come down. The young man, impassive in appearance, kept his eyes fixed on the clock. The wo- men wept, but the idea never occurred to any of them to protest against the author- ity of him whom they now regarded as the head of the family. Finally the hour began to strike. At this moment a. shot was heard ; the con- demned man had executed himself ; he had put a. bullet through his head. The boy then threw down his own gun, which he had been holding in his handsâ€" for if his father had hesitated, he would not have failed to kill him himself ; honor de- manded it i From this moment; the attitude of this sixteen-year-old judge changed; now that honor was saved, his sensibilities reasserted , themselves, and he could weep for the l father whom he had doomed to death in I l FAR AND WIDE.

Both the Austrian and German Emperors are giving a. very handsome prize to the winner of the long-distance race. The Em- peror of Austria’s prize to the German vic- tor is an exquisite statue in solid silver on an ebony stand, representing an Austrian Hussars officer on a thoroughbred at full gaIIOp; on each side of the stand is a has- relief in silver, representing the Branden- burg Gate and Stephen’s Tower, and in rant 8. silver shield with the Hapsburg arms, and bearing the dedication. The German Emperor’s prize is characteristic, being a solid silver bust of himself. It is not generally known that Lord Ten- nyson was twice offered a. Baronetcy and twice declined the honor. His elevation to the peerage was the first instance of literary merit alone having been rewarded with a patent of nobility. Don Carlos attracts much attention and gives opportunities to the caricaturists of the comic papers of Venice by reason of his fancy for pets. On the Plum San Marco he is accompanied by four dogs, which are led by as many strings by one of his equat- ries ; one or two of these dogs are perfect examples of the English greyhound. The King has also a favorite parrot which is a. first-class conversationalist and has a human knack of making its wants instantly under- stood.

Since the time of Merimee, has there been a tourist in that singular island who has not brought back some dramatic story having a characteristic “color ‘3" They are not merely adventures of bandits and “vendette” ; the sentiment of honor easily leads down there to strange excesses. M. Emile Berger-at, who, during his travels in that interesting country, has be- come greatly interested in it, has just published one of these peculiar dramas, in which a family constitutes itself a tribunal, and an implacable one, against one of its guilty members. It is the adventure, with a tragic de- nouement, of a I’rcceptorâ€"the result of an indiscretion committed by him. It is well known that the dream of every Corsican is to become an office-holder ; this unfortunate man had succeeded in getting himself appointed Preceptor of a small can- ton. He was married and had two children, and for along time his life had been parti- cularly regular. \Vhat change took place in him? To what evil inspiration did he yield? \Ve know not, but the fact remains that this Preceptor, who had, up to that time, been perfectly honest, one day yielded to a. fatal tempta- tion. Having pressing need of money, be borrowed some hundreds of francs from the funds entrusted to him. The embezzlements, which were lll?lf"lllfi- cant,were only suspected. One day :tnIuspec- tor of Finances, who was not looked for until later, presented himself to verify the ac- counts. The poor man tremblingly brought out his books. The discovery of what was wrong was not long in coming ; moreover, the man did not seek to defend himself. He broke down, feeling himself lost, and made a complete confession; then, losing his head, he fled from home and disappearâ€" ed in the mountains. The eldest son of the Preceptor, a youth of sixteen, but singularly resolute and de- cided for his age-~returned home just at this time. He was made acquainted with the situation by his mother, whom he found in tears. He turned very pale, but said no- thing exceptâ€"- “How much is missing from the cash-box ‘3” The Inspecto" informed him of the amount of the deficit ; the young man thanked him, and made an appointment with him for the following morning. “To-morrow morning," said he, “the box will be in its proper condition.” He took his gun-«that gun, without which one cannot imagine a Corsican of the interioru-and went out, bidding his mother take courage, and assuring her that dis- honor should not enter that abode where honesty had always dwelt. At the appointed hour the Inspector of Financesâ€"â€"a functionary originally from Paris, who was much interested in the manners of the country where he was a new-comerâ€"found himself at the rendez- vous. He had not long to wait. Very soon, in fact, the young man and the Preceptor himself appeared, the latter pale, weak, his countenance haggard, and with the air of a prisoner. His son had hunted him out In the moun- tains and brought him back by force, after having passed the night in getting together among his relatives and friends the sum that was missing: they had all contributed without hesitation to make it upual- though they were poorâ€"in order to escape The son threw the money upon the table, begged the Inspector to count it, then demanded of him what ac- a scandal. tion he would take next. The sum having been promptly reimburs- ed, the Inspector declared that all was as it should be, that he held the culprit ac- quitted, and that he would not prosecute him. Then he withdrew, troubled in spite of himself at the sombre attitude of this boy of sixteen years. If he had known what was to take place after his departure ! Up to this point it is a commonplace story enough; but here is where it begins to be terrible. The Preceptor thanked his son for hav ing saved him, but his joy was of shor duration. One of his people enjoined him to descend ,to the hall of his dwelling; he found there all his family assembled. He I ed his duty, however cruel it might be. What a strange country where such diverse sentiments are possible ! “Corsica. | is still in the pericd of Columbus,” said M. Ber erat, in recounting this tragic sto . hat is only too plain. BITTEN BY A SEVERED HEAD. Does This Throw Light on Consciousness After Decapitation 1‘ On Tuesday George White, manager at Heublein’s cafe, purchased a green turtle weighing forty-nine pounds which had been captured in Kelsey’s Pond, 03 Short Beach. The animal was taken to the cafe, and yesterday preparations were made for cooking it. The head of the turtle was cut off in the customary way by the head cook, assisted by Ameda Cledes the second cook. After the head had been severed it was left for a time beside the body of I the animal. , About an hour afterward Cledes began I looking at the head, the jaws being open. He inserted the thumb of his right hand and the forefinger of his left hand, running ' the digits about an inch into the mouth of the animal. Almost instantly the jaws I closed together, imprisoning the finger and . thumb between the teeth. Cledes cried out I present. The digits between the jaw pre- vented them from closing tightly together, and gave opportunity for the insertion of from packages, and with this the jaws were pried apart far enough to allow other iron instruments to be inserted, through the aid of which the jaws were finally pried apart and Cledes’ thumb and finger released. The grip of the jaws was such that the teeth nearly severed the thumb and badly lacerated the forefinger. The injury will prevent Cledes from using his right hand for some time. The head of the animal had been severed currenec, but competent authorities on the actions of turtles allege that such animals will show signs of life from six to twelve hours after the head was severed, and it is not an infrequent occurrence for the jaws “St. Louis Republican. l’t “lorr- llini Feurfully. the baby was indisposed and was in nowise willing io suffer in silence.
