A notable act of Imperial clemency is reported from Vienna. The Emperor Francis Joseph, in an autograph letter addressed to General Kuhn, Minister of War, has directed that the retired officers of the Imperial army, who in consequence of the events of 1848-9 lost their right to pension, shall now be placed on the pension list under the same regulations as all other officers. This measure applies chiefly to the Hungarian officers who took part in the revolution of 1848, and may be thus regarded as effacing the last trace of the old divisions between Hungary and Austria. It is not what we eat, but what we digest that makes us strong. It is not what we earn, but ■what we save that makes us rich. It is not what we read, but remember that makes us learned. It is not what we profess, but what we practice that makes us righteous. .. .There is no time spent with less thought than a great part of that which is spent in reading.
