In your article in to-days issue you say you do not
think the government will have to refund the duties on
goods imported and bonded warehouse before the pas
sage Of the act alluded to- which raised tho duties aud
which higher duties have been forced out Of the
merchants An old principle Of law is, "No law can be
made retroacve ard this would be essentially So and
will undoubtedly cause us trouble with foreign Powers
and Justly for ourselves objected 10 Spain doing IN
principle the thing though the there was not
as aggravated this one, viz--When she made new
tariff for Cuba we demanded and she refunded duties on
goods shipped but not arrived when the tariff went

their calculations and perhaps sales to arrvc tho old
basis. Can she not claim the same immunity now for
Spanish houses holding sugars9 and s "wha sauce

The Story OF Life.
nv JOHN n oAYR

Say, what is life? IT'S to be born;
A helpless Babe, to greet the light
With sharp vail, as ifthe morn 70
% Foretold cloudy noon and night;
To weep, to sleep and weep again, r-
With sunny smiles between; and then?
And then space the infant grows To-
To be q laughing pulling boy,
Happy, despite his little woes,
Were he but conscious of his joy;
To be in short from two to ten,
A merry, moody Child; and then?
And then in coat and trousers clad,
%, To learn to say the Decalogue, "
And break it; an unthinking Lad,
With mirth and mischief all agcg;
A truant oft by field and fen
To capture butterflies and then?
And then, increased in strength and size,
To be anon, Youth fullgrown; ...
A hero in his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own;
To initiate the ways Of men
In fashionable sins and then? --.
And then, at last to be Man;
To fall in love; to WOO and we'd; I'D
Win seeming DrSln 10 scheue auu pau
To gather gold, or toll for bread; ....
To cue for fame with tongue or pen,
And gain or lose the prize; and then?
And then in gray and wrinkled Ed
To mourn the speed of life's decline;
To praise the scenes his youth beheld,
And dwell in memory of Lang syne;
To dream awhile with darkened ken,
Then drop into his grave; and then?
