TO WILD _CLEMATIS.
Clematis! Sweet Gematis!
Ope to me from thy bow‘r of bliss;
Breathe to me from blooms so white;
Fan me with thy feathers light;
Fill my sense with sweet perfume-—
Hum of bees like fair'ms’ tune.
Clematis, dear Clematis!
Has earth many a joy like this?
Clematis, thy tendrils furl
Like the tress of gypsy girl;
Like her willful, wand‘ring ways
All thy branches intermaze;
Calling birds and bees to sing
Sweet, enticing each wild thing.
Clematis, lov‘d Clematis!
Swoons my soul beneath thy kiss.
Clematis, were I a. bird
0ft from thee would I be heard.
Were I but :1 wand’ring bee,
Sweet, I‘d sing for none but thee;
In thy breast I’d take my case,
Envied there by birds and bees.
Clematis, dear Clematis,
Fill my soul with thy sweet bliss.

AIDEIENNE.
The old Marquis de St. Roche had sur-
vived royalty 111 France without being dis-
turbed in the possession of his estates.
His peasants spircd him, not merely be-
cause he had always beenakind master,
but because they considered him so un-
fortunate that they would do nothing to
increase his 111isery. The marquise, whom
he had passionately loved, had long been
dead; a beautiful daughtei who had ac-
companied the maiquis to the court in
Paris 111:3 e1 1eturned home, having died
suddenly in the capital The marquis’
only son, the v ery ideal of youthful chival—
ry, wedded a young lady of noble birth,
to whom the 1na1quis soon t1ansferred
all the 3va1m love Of his bereaved heart.
The young couple spent a part of the year
in Paris, and the Older peasants well re-
membered the joy in the chateau when the
daughter-in-law brought home to its lord
a rosy little grandchild. After that time
the young marquise never left St. Roche,
but devoted herself to her child and the
poor—there was not a villager to whom
she had not 1endcred some kindness. Hap-
py herself, she desired to see others happy.
Adrienne was 4 years old when a boy, an
heir to the estate, was born; but a few days
after the young mother. with her son in
her arms, was laid to rest in the marble
vault of the castle chapel. Soon her statue
gleamed the1e in its white beauty. Tea

long after Adrienne had hurried out into
the sunny park to show the ancient lindens

SO brief and so full of meaning. ,.

glanced at the glittering uniform—“has

was buried by the side of his beloved wife.
An accident :
The old marquis was sorely stricken by ;
these blows—he forgot to smile—but he re-
mained erect and strong. He loved little
Adrienne with passionate devotion, and
the child clungtrustingly to her grand-
father. He taught the little one, read fa-
bles with her, and as she grew to maiden-
hood instructed her in the history of
France, the songs n."- ihe troubadours, and
recited the Cid and PI: 1 11 e.
Adrienne lived in a beautiful, sunny
dream world. She listened with glowing
cheeks when her grandfather related the
heroic deeds of the nobles of his day, and
heard with quickened breathing the war-
like songs sung by the youths hurrying to
Napdleon’s standard, the rumors Of vic- ,
torious'battles, and spite of her aristocratic
from the first consul, who was making
beautiful France so great, so famous.
Even Paul, the son of the dead Count de
la Va le, followed the man’s victorious ban-
ner—Paul, the owner of La Chesne, the
finest chateau in the neighborhood, and
when a youth of 18, he had set out to join
the army he. had Whispered to the child of
10, “Don’t forget me, Adrienne. I Will re-
turn.”
He had returned two years since—Adri-
enne was ICE—and he had told her that he
must go back to his great commander, but
would soon come home to his Adrienne——
presumptuous Paul, to use that word—
to call you grandfather. For the rest, I
am a nobleman by )ll‘th, a soldier by choice,
and serve France from love for my native
land. I love Adrienne, not her name, and
my wife need be nothing save my wife, the
Countess .5 de la Valle. I should like to re-

words to me were: ‘Father—Adriennc—

words. My {one would tell me nothing
more. ‘Blanche is an angel; love Adrienne,’
was all I learned from him.
“Cesini! Did you know Cesini?” asked
the major.
“Once I did. He was a musician, and in-
structed Rene in violin playing. When I
spent a year with my children in Paris
Cesini left us. I have heard nothing from
him, and all my inquiries were futile.”
“But I closed his eyes in death, Monsieur
le Marquis. Cesini fell in the front ranks
of the army at the battle of Marengo as an
officer of the republic. ‘Comrade,’ he
groaned,‘ ‘I have attained nothing—this
portfoliO—Helene—Blanche’——and died.”
“Helene—he said ‘Helene?’ Where is the
portfolio?” gasped the marquis.

The marquis’ emotion had affected Paul
also. The spirited steeds quickly conveyed

A writer in Chambers’ Journal gives
some interesting particulars regarding an
extensive and comparatively wealthy asso-
ciation known by the high sounding title
Of the Paris Syndicate of Professional
Mendicants. Every observer in Paris
knows that there is an incalculable num-
ber who daily implore charity in the streets.
Out of the 2,700,000 residents it is calculated
that one in eighteen, or 150,000, live on
charity with a tendency toward crime. In‘
London the proportion is one in thirty.

“How far can a diver see in a horizontal
direction when he is standing on the bot-
tom of the ocean a hundred Or more feet
from the surface?” was asked of a group of
practical divers standing in State street one
day last week. No two of them agreed.
Several said that all conditions beingfa—
vorable and a bright sun shining they could
see from 90 to 100 feet and could distin-
guish objects at that distance. Others
laughed and said that it was impossible to

was startled, but like a true nobleman he
was mindful of the obligations of courtesy,
even in intercourse with his nearest rela-
tives, and said, “Mlle. Adrienne is in the
room opening from this terrace.”
The boy ran up the steps. The marquis
continued his walk, wondering What the
contents of the note could be.
Adrienne was sitting alone in the mag-
nificently furnished room dreaming and
waiting for her grandfather. On the table
lay the books they were to read together
that day. Hark! That was not the mar-
quis’ step.
“Mlle. Adrienne. a note—a note from
the young Count de la Valle. He is at La-
Chesne!”
The boy darted off, and Adrienne stood
trembling, holding the little note in her
hand; her 'heart was throbbing so violent-
ly that she could not open the envelope.
There, her grandfatherwas coming. Adri-
anne involuntarily put her hand behind
er.
The old man looked so grave, and sat
down by the table without removing his
hat or coat. What troubled the marquis?
Adrienne had started up. N ow she was
standing before him: her fair locks floated
over her shoulders; her 'soft white dress re-
vealed the outlines of her slender figure;
two white roses from the chapel, which
she daily visited, were fastened on her
breast. The note fairly scorched her hand.
NO, her grandfather must know every-‘
thing; she would have no secrets from him.
“Grandfather,” she began timidly, “I:
have a note; I must tell you about it—
please don’t say anything, grandfather-—
only listen to me. , I will conceal nothing
from you, and then .we’ll read the note t6-

HOW THE MONEY IS CARED FOR.
In general the sums collected are divided -
in a very equal proportion, a few receiving
an extra percentage pro rata. on their draw-
in gs. A certain percentage is retained for
general expenses of the syndicate and
for the reserve fund. There is no sick or
burial fund-the sick being best able to
beg and having the free hospitals at their
service, and funerals Of the poor being a.
state arrangement. The reserve fund has
in part been applied to the purchase of a
house where any of the members who
choose may lodge at the rate Of one franc
a. week, and the remainder—amounting,
we were led to believe, to a considerable
sum—is invested in the purchase Of shares
and bonds. It- is safe in the hands of a
small committee, but a difficulty of the
syndicate has all along been the inability
to secure able financiers.
The more reputable members, who had
gone home immediately after the distribu‘
. tion, had many of them very considerable
1 savings.

“Now, M. le Marquis, you know all, and
now let us go to Adrienne. What must
the dear girl think of our absence? Thus
Paul interrupted his reverie.
“Would you wed Cesini’s child?”
“Marquis de St. Roche, I_ have but one
plighted troth, one love: both are Adri-
enne’ 3. Besides, Cesini fell an Officer on
the battlefield; he is your equal and my
superior, for I still have a life to lose for
France,” cried Paul.
“A Cesini c innot be my granddaughter.”
“But she will be my wife. To St. Roche,
Adrienne shall come .with me to
my chateau this very day. I will force my
betrothed bride on no one.”
The marquis and Paul silently entered
the carriage andAdrove to St. Roche with-
out exchanging a word. As the equipage
turned into the broad avenue leading to.
the chateau they saw Adrienne sitting on
the terrace, her sweet face wearing a most
wistful expression as she gazed into the
distance.
“Paul,” the marquis began, his breath-
ing heavy and belabored, “say nothing to
Adrienne about Cesini and Helene. I will
keep silence, too.”

In Paris the applications for municipal
appointments are nearly a thousand for ,‘
each position, although the salaries- are
very small, ranging from 8250me per
annum.
All of these are lodged in the
syndicate’s funds. Any member could
withdraw his money and retire when he
had amassed sufficient for any likely Ob-
ject. The usual desire of the economical
mendicant, like that of all Parisians, is to
get together enough to enable him to buy
a small cottage in the country, and live
thereafter on an annuity; or. preferably,
rank as a rentier or independent person re-
tired on a competency.
A VETERAN REGGAE.
While we were talking an old man whom
we all knew by sight as a habitual seeker
of charity on the Boulevard des Italians in
the evenings and on the Place de la Bourse
in the forenoons, came in and stood at the
zinc counter counting out some money to
the proprietor there. He then came over
to where we were sitting and received two
louis and some silver amounting to over
another louis—about £2 108. in all—from
one of our companions. That was his
share for the week, and he grumbled at it.
He drank one or two glasses of wine and
left us. The man who had ,paid him told
us the old fellow was always-discontented,
though he was one of the richest members
of the association.
One old gentleman who was well known
for many years and bore the reputed distinc-
tion of an eflfete marquisate—one Of the old-
est in France—we were assured, cleared
about £10 a week. He had been a member of
the syndicate, which of course guarded him
against all competition, and out of his
drawings he received £2 plus 20 per cent.

A DIVER’S OPINION.
“On a good clear day, when the water is
clear on top, when there is no ripple, it is
possible to see objects distinctly 15 feet
away at a depth Of 7 5 feet or even 100 feet.
At that depth when you look up you can
notice that the water seems to be of a
slightly lighter color than it does if you
look horizontally. You can distinguish
nothing. You can’t see the bottom of the
boat from which you are working, but if
you look right straight in the direction of
the ship you may notice that the water is
the same color as it appears to be when you
'look horizontally.
“I never noticed particularly the differ-
ence in the color of the water or objects in
the water as I went down. I think they
always looked the same, a kind Of dull
color. The color of fishes cannot be dis-
tinguished. They simply look like dark
objecps moving about. My ability to see
under water didn’t increase with exper-
ience. I could see as well the first time as I
could the last time I went down. Constant
practice, of course, enables a man to stand
the pressure of great depths better.
“Usually a man begins to feel uncom-
fortable when he gets down 75 feet, and at
125 feet the average man would faint away
He would be overcome by the pressure. I
have been down that deep and have come
up all right, but Itell you I didn’t enjoy
the trip. I know one diver who went down
140 feet. That was in the lakes. He was
after a safe full of money belonging to the
Wells-Fargo Express company. He got it.”
Edward Hickmann has been a diver nine
years. He was one Of the six divers who
went down in the ocean and brought up a
part of the valuable cargo of the steamship
Oregon. The Oregon was sunk in 130 feet
of water. In some places there was 120 feet
of water above her decks. This is the
deepest water in which divers of New York
have ever been asked to work. No effort
has been made to raise ships sunk in deeper
water, or to save their cargo. Hickmann
is now working for the government in the
New York harbor. The other day, just
about the time he was preparing to begin
his day’s work on the bottom of the bay,
he stopped for a moment and said:
WORKING IN THE HARBOR.
“On a clear day and under favorable con-
ditions a diver can generally see from twen-
ty to thirty feet, sometimes more.
ceptional cases, the Oregon for instance,
when we didn’t go down except in the very
best weather, we could see further. We
could stand on the deck of the Oregon and
see fifty feet in every direction. We could
stand six feet away from the brass plates
over the doors on the steamer and could
read the inscriptions. We could distin-
guish the colors of the wood and of objects
undez water. I remember one day we
could look up and see the sun that shone
through the 120 feet of water. Its color
was a sort of bluish yellow. It was bright-
er than the moon, but was hazy. The bot-
tom of the ocean was fine white sand. We
could stand on the bottom and look down
at our feet and distinguish the grains of
sand.
“That was five feet. When we came to—
ward the surface after an hour’s work the
water looked lighter and lighter, and, look-
in:r up, things looked red. It resembled
the appearance of the sky at sunrise. We
worked on the Oregon under an air press-
ure of siXty pounds. We felt all right down
in the water, but when we came out we
felt the effect of the pressure. If we worked
too long at the great depth we became tem-
porarily paralyzed. Now,in harbor work
it is so muddy that divérs all labOr in the
dark. The water looks clay colOr after you
get down on foot or two.
“I don’t think that my ability to see un-
dei water increased with practice. My
power to stand pressure did. With con-
stant practice, going a little deeper every
day, I thinkIcould go down 150 feet. I.
might w'Ork 140 feet down, but "a fOOt lower
than 110 would be mighty risky even to go'
down and come right up again. We get

the same to us as working on land. The
