NEARrR BONE
Heaven e my Father land,
Heaven Is my home.

Ger the hill the san is setting,
Ana The eve Is drawing on,
Slowly drocps the gentle twilight,
For another tay IS gone:
Gone for aye-sts race : over.
soon the darker shades will come;
SILL Us sweet 10 know at even,
We are ore day nearer home.
Oae day nearer, sings the sailor
As he giltes the waters Ger,
While the light Is softly diving
Or his distant native shore
thus the Christian on life's ocean.
As his light boat cuts the foam,
IT, the evening cries with rapture
q am one day nearer home
Worn and weary Oft the pilgrim
Halls the sitting of the sun;
For the goal IL one day nearer,
And his journey nearly done.
Thus We feel. when Ger iife's desert,
Heart and fapGa! wore We roam.
A the twilight gathers o'er us,
We are one day nearer home.
Nearer home! Yes one day nearer
To our Father house on high
To the green fields and the fountains
OF the land beyond the sky:
For the heavens grow brighter DER az, /,
And the lamps hang in the dome.
And our tents are pitched still closer,
For were one day nearer home.

The Mystery of the French Ministers
Visit To Richmond

WASHINGTON, May 2l,-PermissiOn has been
given TO state the facts in regard To the French
Minister'S visit to Richmond, which has excited
so much attention both in this couniry and in
Europe.
Mr.. MeTcier had no instructions from his Go
yernment, nor had il the least knowledge Of his
intention to go to Richmond. MIR. Mercer, in
converting with MIR. Seward, expressed his re-
gret that he could not see Richmond, anu judge
for himself about the views aud expectations of
the insurgents. Mr. Seward said that he could
20 without any objection from this Government ;
that he wished every foreign minister would 60
and see for himself how hopeless the insurrec-
ton was. Mr.. MeTcer went unoficially.
He heard aud saw for himself, of course 10 no
way acting or speaking for his Government, or
compromising his relations towards the UAited
States. The President was previously consulted
and approved OF his going, When he returned
he called Immediately Oh the Secretary and af-
terwards upon the President, and communicated
to them frankly The impressions that he received.
lie allowed no one in Richmond 10 say anything
to him thnt he should not be at liberty to com
mnnicale to the Secretary OF STATE aud he
neither communicated to the Rebel leaders any
thing from this Government, nor anything from
them to the Government. lie held no otilca
communication with any one, nor did be permit
himself to receive official attentions. Mr. Mer.
cier's whole conduct IN the transaction was dis
| Greet, loyal and friendly,

the British government knew, NJ Mer-
cier's visit to Richmond was without in-
structions from France, and was attended
with no political result whatever.
The Paris correspondent of the new
