Aworld in DisordeT.

The world is in disorder. Nations are
c"nvuised thrones are trembling; govern
ments are agitated people are excited and
the whole social organism OF civilization
appears to be sensitiyely Influenced by some
strange influence piemonitory, of a great
change. Let us take glance at the facts
Despite all rumors to the contrary, Pope
Plus TX. is really dying. A sleep is over
coming him from which nothing will prob.
able awaken him except the trumpbet of
eternity. Count Cavour, bis arch-antaeo-
mist, has just gone before him. The Sultan
of Turkey has also passed away. The
Chinese Emperor is admitted to be on his
death he'd, and the rebel army at the gates
OF Pekin. Louis Napoleon has been at
tackled by disease. The Queen of Austria
has been given up as beyond the reach of
medicine. The Empress of France is in.
The Queen Of Great Britain, it is positively
asserted in private circles. is exbibitin9

The Power Of Silence.

A good woman in Jersey was sadly en-

visited her and provoked quarrel. She
at last sought the counsel of her pastor,

herself quietly in the chime, corner when
next visited, take the tGngs in her hand,
and whenever hard word came from her
neighbur's lips, gently snap the tungs,
aoithont utering leord. A day OF two

pastor with bright aud laughing face. to

The sound sweeps wildly Ger the land,
Sweeps Ger the bounding sea;
Iteehoes from each mountain top
The anthem of the free;
1t snaps tn chain which sin has forged,

Marshal the legions for the SIGHT,

Dread not the tempest's crash;
Dread not the pillows though the cliffs
Along the shore they lash;
Dread not the awful thunder's roar,

Shines in immortal blue;
And light like Heavens approaching smile
Streams, in its glory, through;
Be patient, till the strife is DER;
Lave faith - dare and do.
With willing hand Heavens high behest

The foe has planted for our hand,
And nursed the conquerer's palm;
And He that babe the sea " Be stiIl,''
The stormy waves will calm.
Then fling the banner to the Wind;
The emblem of the free;
Strike the sweet harp tones that proclaim
The regin ofliberty;
And bid the melody rebound
From every trembling key.
And count each star that studs the blue,
Whatever the past has been,
A Maynard wAndeIer welcomed back,
To fill its place again
A loving band of sister lights,

Strike not one jewel from the crest.

Rest the gems upon her breast,
Each where it stood befole.
