will become the dominant creed of the era.
On the issue Of the siege, its fate, for good or
evil for glory or disgrace, for empire, exile
or death, unmistakably depends
No one to-day understands these facts
more keeny than the strange and dangerous
man who instgated the expedition, and the
world knows enough of him to conclude that
he will strain every effort to justify his ideas,
and bring the siege TO Il glorious termination.
England may pray, threaten, expostulate,
reason-but he will continue inhexible, and
move onward to his purpose as unerringly as
a well-dlrec,ed bullet to the target. He will
turn neither to the right nor the left: he will
never remove that exprcssionless but unquail-
ing eye from Sevastopo until the French ea-
giles have perched on its ramparts. Indeed
the seorn of France for England s vacilla,ion
and weakness is scarcely concealed An in
stance Of the merciless sarcasm with which
the great French writers and statesmen are
accustomed to treat their beloved allies can
be found in the proposition lately submitted
by Emile de Girardin, the accomplished edi-
tor OF La Presse, to the effect that England
should Immediately destroy Gibraltar for the
purpose of giving Russia good example 20
be followed in the case of Sevastopol This
sneering suggestion too clearly proves that
the affection between France aud England
has not been intensified by their military al
lance.
In despite, therefore, of English views on
the subject, we are inclined to believe that
no peace can be ratified before the Scvasto-
pol question is settled one way or another.
The conduct Of the war is really in the hands
Of Louis Napoleon, and he will consent to no
terms which could bring discredit on his aims
or defeat his original plans. Glory is tho
breath of the noslri's of France, and she
would never submit, to the continued rule of
one who had furnished her military fame by
reckless and l-adviscd policy. Louis Ma
poleon knows this, and knows also that the
fall of Sevastopol will be his only justification.
The war, therefore, must go on

Of managers and the public. Yet lie made
some noble professional discoveries None

Be Kind when You Can,
ny ELIZA COOK,


Be kind when you can, though the kindness
be little,
IT'S small letters make up philosophers
scrolls;
The chrystal of happiness vivid and brittle,
Can seldom be cut into very large bowls.
'Tis atoms that dwell in the measureless
mountain,
'Tis moments that sum up the century's
night
IT'S but drops that unite in Nagara's foun-
tain,
'Tis rays, single rays, form the harvest
moon light.
Stone by stone build the temple that rises in
glory,
Inch by inch grows the child till maturity's
prime;
The Jewels so famous in bright Eastern
story,
Have been nursed, tint by tint, in the
bosom of Time.
IT'S grains make the desert-sheet track
less and spreading;
IT'S but petals that deck every blossom
twined spray;
There are leaves, only leaves, where the for
est is shedding
Its gloom till the density shuts out the
day.
A word or glance which we give without
thinking
May shadow or tighten some sensitive
breast;
And the draught from the well-spring is
wine in the drinking,
If quafied from the brim that affection has
blest.
Then be kind when you can in the smallest
of duties,
Don't wait for the larger expressions Of
love;
For the heart depends less for its joys and
its beauties
On the flight of the Eagle than coo Of the
Dove.
