He was temporarily abast when I called, and I was received by a young lady in deep moorn-premum. ing, whose thin, pale, half-transparent face hore the nnmistakable mark of a threatening early death. I had aalled for some special informs tion on the subject of the relief of the pour in Elberfeld, und Barmen. As the young lady was unable to give me tha pr.pers referring to the malber, I was shown into a room, Lo await the return of the master of the house. There my eyes fell on a large family Bible which lay on a elda table. I could not resist the tempta. tion to read. I'd that the gentlemen whose urvival I was waiting there bad had a family of eight obildren, four sons and tour daughters, His wife had died some 20 years ago, and all the daughters bad died in their childhood. Of the one, the eldest, had fallen at Druppel, in tha Danish war of 1854. Following the entry of bis donth, the father's band had traced these warda: Won is unto me! the pride of my house is laid low, and the prop of my age hith been taken away. In 1868 two sous, the one an officer, the other a soldier in the Prussian army, bad wat their death for King and Fatherlande itey hare it here-the one at Gitshin, the other at Koniginhof. Here again, the joint record of the father's bereavement ivas followed by a few words of intensest grief, but also pious resignation: Lord, Thy hand beary upon me. My misery is more than I can hear yet Thy will be done, Thou knowest best. Then came the entry of the marriage of the youngest and last surviving son, on Sunday, July 17th, 1970, with the broken
whom I had seen-ther young conld be no doubt about it, as she told me her father would soon be back; and then came the Hual entry: "My Oscar, the youngest, the last, the best beloved of my sons, died on the 21st of August, of wounds received in the accursed attle of Mars-la-Tour. The Lord hath given, to Lord bath taken away. Praised. be the name of the Lord. But the entry was blurred and scarcely legible, bearing witness that, how. over willing and stont the spirit had been to bear, the Resh bad given way. I closed the book with a feeling of deep sadness and rapidly regained my chair, trembling leat the beroused ld man should suddenly come in, and read in my troubled fade some tell-talo indication of the indiscretion which I had cota mitted in roading his family rocords. I had, however, fortunate ly, ample time recover ny composure before thu gentleman medu liia appearance at last. Ha was a tall old man, but woefully bowed down, clearly less with ago than by sorrow and enffer. ing. He received me with great Arbanity, and indly placed at my disposal all the information akialiit was in his power to give on the subject of my visit to him. When I left him I pondered deeply on the islancholy results of the mad ambition of prinses, and the westched lore of glory of nations. Here was a whole once happy family laid low in the brief space of a few years Well might these lines recur to my mind
The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power,
And all that boyuty, all that wealth e'er gavo-- Alike await the inevitablo hour;
The past glory lead but to the grave.
