For 7 is hallowed ground We are on.
Not a breath, the calm repose shall break,
That reigns in death-like stiffness here;-

And feel her spirit lowering near.
And here as pause, I'll wend my way,
Thro' Times dark, winding pathway back,
And muse the wel-remembered day,
When gill-hoods' light, played round her track
When the household board began to own,
The n agic power that bound them,
Was from her, the brightest gem that shone,
To cast It's radiance round them
When her heart, unstaned by early sin,
Earth with its wiles, could never bind-
BIZ, was offered mcekly up to ilIw,
Whom those who early seek, shall find.
] remember well that mellow light
The smile that DER her features played,
That eye now gladdenng with delight,
Now melting to a grarer shade
That voice, whose sofened tones bespoke,
A quiet, unobirusiye worth,
But whose welcome notes were first awoke,
In her own ireside gee and mfth
But sclool-olays, bridal, burial, all,

Unlarmed, the dangers that beset,-
She knew, He'd teach thy little feet,
How to avoid temptations net
Go then-eary seek. and tlou shalt find,
What gave her strength in dying hour,
To leave her child, in a world behind,
Where sin hath a monarch's power.
Then, then, shalt thou meet tiny mother there,
in the realms Of the pure and best
Where the wicked cease from earthly care.
And where the weary at rest. W

A WAR PREVENTED. The following
statement, which we copy from the N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser, would seem to
show that the Peace Societies are not alto
gethcr such purely visionary things as some
have represented them.
In February, 1887, General Jackson,
having recalled the minister of the United
States from Mexico, made special conn.,
muncation to Congress on the subject, and
recommended the passage of an act authoti-
sing reprisals against the Mexican republic.
Congress, however, very wisely resolved
to keep out of a war and the question re-
manned in the hands ofthe Executive. In
July, 1887, courier was despatched to
Mexico to make final demand Of redress,
in compliance with the letter ofthe treaty
of amty between the two countries ;fand in
December the subject was again presented
to Congress by Mr. Van Buren,, with the
intimation that the Executive had Exhaust
ed its powers, and that it remained for
Congress to decide what farther should be
done; and in this state things the affair
began to assume IA belligerent aspect. But
such a result was averted through the agen-
CIV of the New York Peace Society; and
the circumstances are somewhat curious.
The Mexican Congress had authorised
or rather invited, the executive to propose
to the United States to submit the differ
ences of the two countries to friendly En-
ropean power; and this fact became known
to the United States through the newspa-
pers. The Peace Society. and its friends
sent in petitions to our House of Repre-
sentatives, praying that this proposal NIGH
be accepted. These petitions led to dis
cussion in the House. when it turned ou
that the proposal of an arbtrament had new
er been communicated to cur Government
but Immediately after those discussions, ant
undoubtedly in consequence Of them, thu
decree of the Mexican Congress was com
municated to our Government, and cor
respondence followed, which has ended If
the informal understanding that Prussi;
shall be requested to arbitrate between the
two Governments; and it only remains now
for Mr. Martinez to receive the proper
power from the Mexican executive to sign
a convention to that effect.

From the correspondence OF the Boston
Atlas.
The Corporation of Reading, Pa, re-
Gently made application to the United
States Bank for a loan of sec, 900 for the
purpose of redeeming "shinplasters. But
the Loco Focos of the place thought there
was death in the pot" therefore sent Nick
remonstrance against such proceeding.
His answer to the application for the loan
is very amusing, and as you may not have
before seen it, it is herewith subjoined:
Bank of the United States,
June %, 1898.
Gentlcmen:-I have had the honor of re-
ceivng your letter Of the 3lst ul:imo, re-
questing from this Bank loan for three
years of 1soenty thousand Dollars, in silver.
for the purpose of redeeming the notes is
sued by the Borough of Reading, for sums
less than one Dollar The Board ofDirec-
tors approve entirely of the object of the
loan, and were disposed togrant 1t with great
pleasure, when they received published re-
monstrance against it by the "Committee
of Safety Of the Borough of Reading" who
declare that it has been ascertained that the
loan could have been intended for no other
purpose than to sell the town to the said
Bank. and to put our citizens and their pos
teri,y into the POWER ofthc Philadelphia
Money King" / am sure that the worthy
members o(the Committee of Safety will
on reflection perceive that they have been
misled by their zeal in ascrbing to the
town council design to sell their con'titu-
ents, or to the Bank the least desire to make
such an acquisition; and am quite sure
that the respectable Inhabitants Of Reading
are wholly incapable of heinginfuenced by
the sordid motives ascribed to them. Ney-
ertheless, as there seems to be so much OPP
position to the measure, and as its adoption
may give alarm to a portion Of your COM
muni,y. II is deemed most proper to decline
the proposed loan.
Very respectfully, yours,
