BERLIN'S BEAUTIFUL STREETS.
་
The streets of Berlin are nearly all paved with asphalt, and they are such marvels of cleanliness and smoothness that one feels the same respect for them as for a nice drawing room, and scrupler to litter them even with a scrap of paper. They are literally washed and scrubbed every night; after being wet down a few men or boys proceed along the rand, pushing before them pieces of board set diagonally on a pole, with a strip of rubber on the lower side. The mud is thus transferred from the course, of one to another, and finally left in the gutter, whence it is removed. The consequent free- dom of the city from dust is very marked, The smoothness of the pavement affords im- mense relief in diminishing the confusing noise and jar of the streets. Waking early in the morning at a hotel in the center of the business section, one perceives no rattling of wagons, only the clatter of the horses hoofs, so that it seems

She is wealthy, and in growing old she has grown penurious, so that her heirs, the children of her sister, the Duchess of Alba, will probably inherit one day an immense
fortune.
Like a ghost of the vanished empire that gave her grandeur, and to which she Imparted grace and charm, she flits from one health-giving place of public resort to another, alone on earth with her memories and her sorrows. She has survived all those whom she loved-husband, son, mother and sister. Dead, too, are her hopes and her ambitions; they have vanished like her world. renowned beauty, like her queenship, like her long-hoped-for and joyously hailed maternity. Often in the watches of the night a storm of grief will scatter the calmness of her resignation to the winds, and she will sit for hours weeping before the portrait of the late Prince. Imperial.
