FRIDAY MAY 11, 1877.
A WOMA.VH Ql'ESTIOJi.
BV ELIZABETH BARRETT BBOWSISO.
Do you know you have asked for the costliest
tmng
Ever made by the hand above
A woman's heart and a woman's life,
And a woman's wonderful love ?
Do you know you have asked for this priceless
mine
As a child might ask for a toy '
Demanding what others have died to win,
With the reckless dash of a boy.
You have written my lesson of duty out.
Man-like you have questioned me
Now stand at the bar of my woman's soul,
Until I shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always be hot,
x our socks ana your smn& snail oewnoie;
I require your heart to be true as God's stars,
And pure as heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton and beef;
I require a far better thing.
A seamstress you're wanting for stockings and
sains
I look for a man and a king.
A king for a beautilul realm called home,
And a man that the maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did the first,
And say, "It Is very good."
I am fair and young, but the rose will lade
From my soft vounc cheek one dav
Will you love me then, 'mid the Jailing leaves,
a.s you am 'mia me Dioom oi jiayr
Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep
I may launch my all on Its tide ?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she Is made a bride.
I require all things that are grand and true,
All things that a man should be;
If you give this all I would stake my life
To be all you demand of me.
If you cannot do this a laundress or cook
You can hire with a little to pay;
But a woman's heart and a woman's life
Are not to bo won that way.
The Ambassador's Eye-Glass.
I think I have already explained to
my readers that the late King of Siain
was very much given to using the long'
est and hardest words to he found in the
English dictionary. It was his special
delight not only to show his scholarship
in nglish, but to amaze and confound
his hearers, which, I assure you, he very
often did.
I well remember, one bright, sunny
afternoon, full of the golden light pecu
liar to the autumns In Siatn, 1 was in
my parlor, and enjoying my book, wheu
X received a neremntorv summons to at
T . 1 1 ,1
tend the IvinerlU Ins Palace.
1 sliut my book with an impatient
emphasis, and soon found myself stand-
lng in an audience chamber of the inner
court, used only by the ladies of the
iviug's nousenoiu.
The King took no notice of me at hrst;
he was looking anxiously at some pretty
young women wuo were oenuing low
Uetore Ulm. i.acn oi tuese ladies were
very handsomely dressed, with jewels
and gauzy dresses displaying their slen-

"Mam," said he. at length, iu his
.iAini?ni.t:nii iini.rtii ti. u .
quaint English, "shall it be proper for

quest to see some oi our most Deautirui

it is very natural that the i-nglisb Am-

cunning and desire to make a grand Ira-

A high female officer placed at mv

really dazzliug to behold.
Then came my part which was to drill
them into the etiquette of European
courts. This was oue of the hardest
tasks I undertook; for each of these
girls had a small looking-glass, and thev
were so delighted with themselves that
even when 1 mad them walk in and
out of the temple, ami bow to me in the
Western fashion, they would peer at
their faces in the glasses held in their
hands.
What with bowing, and scrming, and
Bcreaming, and grimacing, au!i jabber

my lessons in European etiquette aud
deportment did not make a very lasting
Impression on their girlish minds, for
not one of the girls was scarcely mort
tban fifteen years of age.
At two o'clock in the afternoon of the
same day iu which I had been drilling
them, these six girls, dressed as English
ladies, were escorted to my temple
school-room. There they were seated
on a row of gilt chairs, behind magnifi
cent crimson aud gold-wrought curtains,
"which, by the express command of the
-King, bad been hung across Xhe middle
of the temple for the occasion.
The order of presentation was simply
this: As these ladies could not speak a
.single English word, they were required
only to rise when the Ambassador from
tujilauu was presented, to bow to lilm
and retire backwards, but tbey were
not to turn their backs.
Somebody had told the Kinc that no
one ever turned their backs when pre
sented to Uueen victoria, but retired
face forwards. His Majesty was, there
fore, imperative iu requiring the little
form ot not turning their backs upon
the great Englishman. The heedless

for the hour of presentation, seated on
the grand iMironeau chairs, iu iingllsh

nounced the reception of the grand visi
tor by the King. This caused the girls
great agitation ; from fits of violent
laughter they were at ouce thrown into
a tremor of excitement.
They began to ask all manner of ques
lions. One poor eirl. trembling from
head to foot, asked me. "What kind of
