paratioh iof tie station ic now holds. In tie ber
ality Of his feelings, with which then thought, and
still think, was well acquainted, believed safe
guarantee existed against the effect of all narrow
prejudices and sectional feelings believed he
would SO faithfully and mparally administer The
government that every section Of The union would
find, SO far as his constitutional powers would ena
BILE him to afford it, Just protection Of their rights
and interests, and that the honor of the nation at
large would be properly guarded by him. In his
private character, believed saw examples OF mo-
ray industry, and republican simplicity, worthy
to be held up 10 the nation for imitation. Circum-
stances had also placed me in situation closely to
view him, even in foreign land. During por-
tion of the year 1917, when was bui young, and
the citizen of feeble territory, met him in Eng
land, whilsi he was Minister resident there Whilst
there as we'll as during long voyage home, was
in situation to see him in his domestic walks-in
the undsguised character Of his own nature. In
that character saw benevolent heart, and capa-
city to feel himself and awaken in others dsinteresi
ed friendship. In word when the people had pla
ced me in situation that felt myself compelled to
choose for Them, thought saw combined In him
such qualities as 10 justify me in preferring him to
those who stood opposed TO him for that station.'

The spring return, but where arc thc>
Who Wccom'd me the last bright season
Where are the happy, where the gay,
The light Of heart and light Of reason
The SKY is just as bright, the air as free,
The blossoms hang as fresh on bush and tree,
And nature is as lovely as was wont to be.
The spring returns; but where are they
Whose l.earts beat high with Joy and gladness,
Whose smiles beg,il'd each coming day
And kept atar each thought Of sadness
Where arc the young, the beautiful, the gay,
Those on whom fairy hope had she'd its ray,
And those BY love made happy, where are they
Feelings have changed as time has fed
Hearts have been cru,h'd, and smiles been ban
ish'd,
And JOY, BY times destructive tread,
Has, like dream, forever VANISHED
Hopes have been blighted, and the grave
Has scizd its victims. Wherefore rave
Nor prayers, nor signs, tears, availed to save
The spring returns; but some are far,
Wand ring upon trackess sea
And some not but some there are
Have changed their friendship-such there be
The spring will pass, but memry's eye

Till hope, and thought, and feeling die.

The ocean yawned and rudely blow'd

Deep horror then my vitals tioze;
Death-struck, ceased the tide to stem !;
When suddenly a star arose,
1t was the star of Bethlehem
1t was my guide, my light, my all;
1t babe my dark forebodngs cease,
And through the storms and dangers thral,
1t led me to the Port OF Peace.

Forever and forever sing,
