politicians, professional politicians, really meant
what they said. Their talk about consistency
honesty and principles we then believed Wa.
sincere, but experience has since taught US that
we were mistaken. Falstaf during his last
moments, "babbled of green fields" The

happiness, to the ''green fields" which he low

politicians who feel that the hour of their DO
iittcal death has arrived. They forget all
'helr inconsistencies and abberrations from
the path which they knew to be rieht-the
zeal with which they joined in the wild
hunt after office, laughing at principles as
'rall barriers and intent only on securing the
spoils They return to the days when thew

perused the following Poem by Thomas Hood
entitled the 'Death Bed,' but if they are sincere
admirers of the truly beautiful and pathetic thew
they will read it with pleasure again;
We watched her breathing through the NIGHT
Her breathing soft and low.
AS in her breast the wave of life
Kept heaving to and fro.
So silently we seemed to speak,
So slowly moved about.
AS we had lent her half our powers
10 exc her living out.
Our very hopes beIied our fears.
Our fears our hopes belied-- DO
Wethought her dying when she slept.
And sleeping when she died.
For whan the morn came dim and sad.
And chill with early showers.
her quiet eyelids closed-she had
brighter morn than ours.

result of the Zurich conference is known.
Mr.. Whiteside said that the Government
had been mede a cats-paw of, and by trans

Mr.. Gladstone eulogized on the conduct of

On the 18th, the proceedings of the House
OF Lords. were interesting, In the House of
Commons, sundry questions were put to the
government, on the subject of naval arma-
ments and National dcfences. Lord Pal
merston said that he did not think it possible
for England to enter into any agreements
with the other powers, for the arthmetical
reductions for her military and naval estab-
ilshments, her position totally different Mr.
Horsman moved resolution that the ex-
penses OF completing tee works of defense
be met by fund specially provided for the
purpose, indepe 1dent of parliamentary votes.
He urged continued armaments and sugges-

Sidney Herbet and Lord Palmerston objected
to the proposition. but both said that the
government was fully alive as to the impor- |
tance of completing the defenses of the coun-

matter. Mr. Golden deprecated his unnat-
ural alarm as an actual incentive to war. and I
