ROBIN AND
OOOD WOEDS.
Once upon a winter day,
Aa I sat, forlorn and sad,
Thinking, in a Iretful way, -Of
the timo when I was glad
Hopping lightly o'er the snow,
Came a robin that I know.
On the window ledge he stood,
With a bright, inquiring eye;
Twas a compact that he should
Always call in passing by,
J ust to show we might pretend
Each to entertain a friend.
When I saw niy tiny guest
, Waiting for his daily crumb,
! Dainty, trim and self-possessed.
Never doubting it would come,
I could almost hear him say;
"Mistress, food is scarce to-day."
And my heart made sad reply
As the little dole I threw.
"Strange that one so poor as I
Should hare store enough for two!
Robin, if such a thing could be,
Would you throw a crumb to me?"
Not a sound disturbed the hush
Save my own impatient sigh
Robin to a neighboring bush
Darted off without good-bye.
How ! you leave me, faithless bird,
An J waited for a word.
Ah I I wronged that heart of Same.
Through he silence, sweet and clear,
forth ft is cheery carol came,
And I held my breath to hear,
For that dear familiar strain
Woke my better eelf again.
T was a benediction sweet.
Chanted in a foreign tongue
Like those graces after meat,
By the warbling scholars sung,
Where the reverend customs hold,
Handed down by men of old.
Did I dream that, as he sang,
Some one entered at the door,
That some childish laughter rang.
And small footsteps crossed the floor?
Who hath touched my lija with wine,
Mellow juice of Auld Lang Syne?
Suddenly the music ceased,
. Yet the silence breathed of balm,
Art thou flown then, small hedge priest,
Somewhere else to raise the psalm?

the Aubusson carpet. He understood
the letter he had that morning received
from his friend, the banker, well. It
was dated Paris, and commissioned the
abbe to break the news of his consent to
the pretensions for Marie's hand of

. No shell thrown into the beautiful
cijy when beleagured by her victorious
foes could have produced a sharper
effect. Mile. Archaimbault gasped,
paled, choked; took up her fan, then
dropped it, and burst into tears.
"That is all right," thought the abbe,
cheerfully. "When once they begin to
cry, they give in." Then he gave her

had dreamed of this!
4'Do yon not think it would be better
to think how we shall break the news to
Marie, instead of erring about it?" asked
the abbe, gently. Then as mademoiselle
incoherently murmured something about
"the shock," and "being totally un
uerved,"he rang a small silver hand bell.

of those "accursed Prussians." And
while the market-place was gay, the
restaurants full of bright uniforms, the
military bands clashing out the latest
German waltzes and quick marches, not
one citizen of Strasburg could be seen
there. They were abasing themselves
before the altars, and the little chapsi of
Our Lady of Sorrows in the cathedral
was full of sad kneeling figures from
early morning till late night. Here
Marie came.here she fled in her anguish,
when the doctor told them Alphonse's
life was now an affair of hours. It vras
evening; while the flickering of the
many votive tapers played upon the sad
beautiful face of the Mater Dolorosa in
the great picture above her altar, casting
strange new expressions across the
pained features, the kneeling crowd were
in shadow. Marie could faintly dis
tinguish the outline of the Pieta in the
corner of the chapel the great image of
Mary with the dead Christ in her lap.
She wept and prayed; and was rising to
return to her watch beside the death
bed, when she saw a face gazing in upon
her through an aperture in the screen
that divided the chapel from the cathe
dral nave. A man's face soft and tender;
the eyes fixed upon her with such pity,
such deep, yearning love, that instinct
ively she moved a step forward. Then
she remembered, recoiled, and the face
vanished. Was it a comforting vision?
Some strange influence had passed into
her soul; a promise of consolation.
Calmed, wondering, she went through
the darkness and out into the moonlight,
unaware of a quick step that followed,
till, the door shut behind her, a voice
said, ploadingly, "Mademoiselle!"
She started turned. Heavens! she
was face to face with a tall officer; the
moonlight glyimed on the silver facings
of his light blue uniform.
"Monsieur!
she cried, with passion-
ate
anger.' Then, drawiner herself rm
she flashed one glance of hatred upon
him and fled.
That night Alphonse opened his eyes;
he was conscious, he smiled upon them.
Bending (over him, she heard him say
those two words, "Karl Eichmann,"
then he sighed, and his spirit went.
All these things came back to her as
she stood irresolute, looking at the card
inscribed with that name. At last she
nerved herself and rang the bell.
"Tierr .Karl Eichmann." Quick foot
steps crossed the floor, spurs clanked,
a tall figure was there. She stood, her
eyes nxea on the floor.
"Madmoiselle!"
"Ah!" A stiver, a shuddering sigh;
all color left Marie's cheeks; her lips
trembled. This was the man in the pale

resting her head wearily against the
back. "Can you not wait come again?"
"No, mademoiselle." The an3wer was
sudden, fierce, like a shot. "I will
either leave yoa at once, or remain."
There was silence. Marie, in miser
able perplexity bound to her preju

thought o'f Alphonse. Once more she
heard the feeble utterance "Karl Eich

Before the second peal was fairly over

and two scared, anxious faces looked in,
the abbe's quaint, ugly face above that
of MHa Archaimbault, who walked into
the room, pale, stern, determined to up
hold her niece's brave refusal of this
hated Prussian, if need be, to the death.
"Monsieur !" Karl Eichmann started
as Marie Bpoke, gently, tenderly; then a
soft hand stealing into his, he turned in
astonishment, to find Marie smiling, al
most beaming.
"Ma tante," she said, "and mon bon
pere, allow me to introduce to you Mon

"Diablo!" cried the abbe, startled
into profanity.
"God protect us!" said Mile. Archaim

shield against Prussian witchcraft.
"You are both right," exclaimed the
young man, first passionately kissing the

Jewesses and Wigs.
There is a remarkable mystery sur
rounding the ongm of the custom of
the Jewish women cutting off their hair
and donning a wig on their marriage.
lhe stubborn adherence to this custom
suggested the plot of the gloomy story
which concludes the "Jews of Barnow.
Al A 1 Al
Xiveu m me present aay tue custom is
still observed by the ultra-orthodox.
The effects of the custom were supposed
to give a ciue to its origin.
There wa3 undoubtedly too madi
reason m tho Middle Agea for the Jew
esses to be eager to make themselves as
unattractive as possible. The custom
of cutting off the hair of the bride on
the wedding day is not mentioned in
the Talmud. According to Mishnah
Ketuboth, vii: G, it is contrary to Jew
ish custom for married women to appear
in rue street with head uncovered.
Out of modesty the custom was also ob
served in the house, and in order to
remove tho possibility of temptation,
tne nair serving no longer as an orna
ment, but being a superfluous weight
on tne head was entirely cnt on.
According to Mishnah Nazir. iv:
the cutting off of thethair is considered
a disfigurement, whieh the husband
could veto m case of hia wife being a
LSazarite. Some few believe that the
custom dates from the very earliest
times, and they found their opinion upon
the allusion thereto in Deuteronomy,'
chapter xxi: 12. Referring to the mode
prescribed for taking a captive woman
for wife, the text says: ' Then thou shalt
bring her home to thine house, and Bhe
