knowledge. It is matter of hi story that during
the last few years, the intercous with the Sand

VICE PRECEDENT KING.
"Be still !" The hour of the souls departure is
at hand earth is fading from its vision time is
gliding from its presence! Hopes that cluster
around young life. swelling in the heart of
hood, have fallen from around it like the forest
leaves, when the rosts of autumn have chilled them
unto death. Ambition with its hollow promises,
and pride with its lofty look have vanished away.
The world, with its deceitfuness pleasure with its
temptations are gone, and alone, in utter destitu
ton of all that time promised it must start its
solitary journey across the valley of the shadow of
death
MAKE no noise! !" Let the tumult of life cease
Let no sound break the souls communion with itself
ere it starts its returnless flight. Trouble not
with the accents Of sorrow. Let the tear stand still
on the cheek of affection let not the wailing Of
grief break the solemn silence of the dead
Let it gather the accents that from within the
dark shadows of eternity saying TO it-Come home.
The whispering of angels are in it's ear; obsruct
not their silvery voice by grosser sounds. farof
music comes floating to it by the air. IT'S the

Speak not of fading memories of affections whose

from the spectral darkness, and the glory Of the

The Spanish journalists, having read accounts of
the serenade to Mr. Soule by the Cuban Junta pre-.
vious TO his departure for Spain, and his speech on
that occasion, have set themselves to work in order 10
secure him frgid reception if not to cause him 10
be rejected and TO that end have tortured their ina

The Clrcassian War.

Much ignorance prevails with regard to the Circas-
sian, rather Daghestan war. Even its reality is
commonly disregarded, and Circassa, bordering on
the Black Sea, is represented the theatre of
In truth few outbreaks, rather inroads occur
in that district But the mountainous and inaccessi.
BILE portions remain unsubdued, and Russia for some
years past has virtually contented herself with
fnng their inhabitants within strict Gordon. The
line of coast is in Russian possession, also a belt
of territory separating it from Turkey, while on the
east it is separated from the actual seat of war, Dag
hestan, by $50 miles of difficult country in absolute
occupation BY the Russians, and moreover. absolute
ly subjected to that power. Daghestan is similarly
encirced by Russian territory, and even separated
in a similar manner from the Caspn Sea. Neverlhe-
less it has hitherto striven earnestly. but vany, to
emancipate itself from this state Of isolated bondage.
its efforts have been chiefly directed to the surprise of
outlying posts and forts, varied by sudden orays and
nroads upon the adjacent Russian territory. These
forays are often successful far as booty is
ned, but can never affect disturb the virtual pos
session of their present position by the Russians al
though, the other hand, they necessitae an i'm

tier to repress them. With portion of this force
the Russians annually attack Schamyl and the other
Beys in their strongholds, and invariably with the
same apparent i'll success.
Protected by the impenetrable nature of the
country the mountaineers permit the Russian troops
to penetrate into defles where discipline and order
| are unavailing, and whence they are compelled to
retreat with loss and discontinue. Incapable the
Daghessans are of resisting the Russian troops on
ordinary field of battle, once in their own defes
they assert evident superiority. Hence Russia
gains apparently nothing by these attacks, though
perhaps her end is served by the efficiency acquired
in actual warfare by her troops. These troops, and
those in the adjoining country under the same com
mand were stated by Prince Woronzow, in CONVEX
