WILT THOU LOVE ME THUS FOR

Thou gazcst deep and earnest
Deop and earnest aro thine eyes;
know that in our being
There arc answering sympathics;
know there dwells upon me
An affection rich and pure,
A nd ask, with anxious yearning,
"Will it ever thus endured
Quick changes como upon US
Changes not in our control;
Thore arc shadows and eclipses,
And dark tides upon tho soul.
With trcmulous emotion,
InccePt thy bounteous store,
But ask, with anxious yearntng,
"Wilt thou love me evcrmore7"
Thou knowest all my weakness;
Thou knowest all my power;
Thou'st read my life and knowcst
Every word and every flower;
And if within my nature
Any gracious gift there be,
would its brightest radiance
Should trust itsclfto thee.
God knows nc selfish impulse
Draws my heart thus close to :hino;
Iwould that all my toiling
Should partake of the divine;
would be wise and perfect,
Living truly, heartily,
That life's most glorious halos
Should surround and hallow thee,
And ifupon thy pathway,
have cast ono tiny ray
Mado one moment brighter, happier,
By my life, or by my lay
Then thou cans't not lovo a nature
That is meaner than thine own;
Thou can'st never have enjoyment
In soul of lower tono.
So rest my heart coutented,
For in this clearer view,
see thoul't not Withhold me
Such love as is my due;
And if some nature
With the gifts that once was mine,
must bow my head submissive
To law Of the DivineI
But with earnest, strong endeavor,
would labcr by thy side,
Earn the right to be companion,
Fellow-Worker and thy guide;
Through all earth's weary turmoil,
Keep loving soul, and pure,
And thy bounties of affection
Will forever thus endure.

The Judge was much moved in Civ

The Judge concluded his sentence

for an explanation of the designs Of
Spain.
The special meeting of the Cabinet
to-day lasted to a late hour this eve
ming. The President is very much
depressed by the alarming state Of
our foreign affairs. He thinks we are
on the eve ofgreat events, involving
war with Spain, a Protec'orate over
Mexico, the seizure ofCuba, and dan
ger of n war with France and Eng.
land. To encounter these grave exc.
gencies, we have no adequate naval
force in the Gulf, or that a be sent
thither. Our ships are in the Mcdi-
te%rranean. in the Carribian Sea, or on
n wasteful and hazardous expedition
to Paraguay. The Sonora affair is a
mere private speculation of no impor-
lance. The present emergency is a
question not of a province but Of an
empire. 1t involves the whole Of
Mexico not Sonora alone.
