The Portrait.

In a lumbering attic room,

YearVhad died within the gloom,
Irving dead dust everywhere ;
Everywhere
" Hung the portrait ofa, lady
V.'ith a face so fair.
Time had long tinco duli'd the paint-
Time, which all our arts disguise
Ami theieatures now were faint,
All except the wonderous eyes
Wonderous eyes 1 ;
Ever looking, looking, looking, .
With such a sad s-urprisc I
As wan loveth, as man had loved
Ilcr whose features faded there ;
As man moruiieth, man had mourned,
Weeping in his daik despair
liitter tears,
When she left hhn. broken-hearted,
To his deatli of years. .
Then for months the picture bent
All its eyes upon his face,
Following him where'er they went,
Till another tilled tho place
In its f tend -Till
tho features of the living
Did out face the dead.
Then for years it hung above,
In that attic dan anu guasi,
Fading with the fading love,
Sad remainder of the past ;
Save the eyes.
Ever looking, ever looking,
Witli suen saa surprise i
: Oft the distant laughter's sound
Knte r"d through the eobweb'd door,
And the ery of children found .
Dusty echoes from the floor
To those eyes,
Ever looking; ever looking,
With buch sad fcurprioe 1
Once there moved upon the stair
Olden .love etepa mounting sloWj
Unt the face-that met him there
Drove hini from the depths below,
For those eyes
Through his eoul seemed looking, looking,
All their sad surprise.
From tliat day the door was nrikd
Of that memory-haunted rom,
And the portrait hung and paled
On the dead dust and tho gloom,
Save tne eves,
Ever looking, ever looking,

I saw the Mikafo yesterday. Ah!
il.e bliss of kuo'riog I have gazed ou
living royalty. None of your little
one 'cent kings whom any one can
speak to, but one who amoun.ts to
something; He had come down from
YepJo to h'C'preent at the launching
of a uovalf vessel at Yokoska, an.el
returned from there this morning via
Yokohama. I heard ho was to paKS

line of ancestors reaches back to a
year or so after the flood, is apt to
have a bad effect, and I ra not quite
sure what I saw. But my impression
is that be was a man, or rather a king,
about twenty-three years old, of very
brunette complexion, tall for a Jap,
and a lip on him like a shovel-nosed
