rRor HAPPINESS.


Beset with ills on every aide
Lifs's rugged path we tread"
And scarce in this unfseling wo-ld
Find shelter for our head.
Yet there are Joys and pleasures too
Which, sought, we're sure to find,
And there are peaceful, happy hours
For every virtuous mind.
God gave us reason TO enjoy
What he in wisdom sends;
He 'twines ivy round the oak,
An emblem Of His ends.
Though all in tho same mould were cast,
And all bear his impressi
How much We differ in one point,
Our search for happiness.
Zone seek their happiness In wealth;
Some knowledge most esteem;
Eome thirst for power and some for fame,
Mere coinage Of q dream.
Fieeting and short are all the joys
That spring from ear thly things;
From mines Of gold, from learning's store,
Or diadems Of kings.
But thei e's q treasure, rich aud pure,
And all may IL obtain,
Who yield their hearts unto the Lord
And seek IL in his name.
Religion dries our falling tears,
And bids all sorrows cease;
Her ways are ways Of plsasantness
And all her paths are peace"
Her flowing streams will ne'er run dry
While there's n soul - save;
Let all who seek true happiness
In her clear waters lave.
May every blessing from on high
Or you and yours descend;
And la your heart forever wear
That sure and constant FREUD.

published ON the frontier OF Prussia the despatch
dressed by lord John Russell 70 Mr. Paget who repre-
sents England at Copenhagen-
FpRnGy OFFICE, Dec. 8, 1890
SR--Enoosed send you the copy Of despatch from
Baron scbeinz TO Count Bernsdorn and the
which have sent thereto TO Mr.. I0wther
You VIII observe that in this despat IN, have ndi-
Gated the obligations which according views Of her
Majesty government, the King of Denmark Is bound in
honor to fulfill have said He Is bound not incor-
porate Schleswig Denmark TO maintain represen-
tatve States OF scheswg, as well as TO protect the
German and Danish nationality in the Duchy Of Sches
wign
Whatever the legal value Of the obligations towards
Austria and Prussia may be- the OF her Ma
esty has no doubt that the King Of Denmark bound in
honor fulfil these relations He has publicly proclaim
ects but to the representatives of foreign Powers that
their fulflment is not only his duty, but his interest
His German subjects should perceive that under his
rule they stand In the same legal right other Danish
fellow citizens They will then possess the feeling Of
loyal dependence on the Danish government and the up
opposition thereto the education Of their children In the
public schools and their religious worship denied to
them by vexatious regulatons-f the government ap-
pears possessed Of the wish Cypress the nationality
their subjects OF German birththere only evil
sequences arise Should the German Diet endeavor to
carry out with force their resolutions Of last March,
surely the neighboripg duchy Of Schleswig will become
the scene Of agitation perhaps Of disturbance and
rection. Then the King OF Denmark would himself make
known the value OF such conditions the Scheswg poo
ple and he might in their eyes be suspected Of breach
Of faith and might be open TO the charge Of having led
intelligent and industrious portion Of bis subjects
an odious and insubordinate position.
Read this despatch in with the one addressed
TO Mr. L0wther to H. Hall, and leave copy with him.
