= DREAM or SUMMER.



Bland n the morning breath Of June
The southwest breezes play;
And. through its haze, the Winter moo
Seems warm as Summer DAY.
The snow-plumed Angel Of the North
Has dropped his icy spear;
Again the mossy earth looks forth,
Again the streams gush clear.
The fox his hillside cell forsakcs,
The musk-ai leaves his nook,
The blue bird in the meadow brakes
Il singing with the brook
"Bcar up, Oh mother nature r. cry
Bird. breeze, and streamlet free,
Our Winter voices prophecy
0fSummer days to thee -
So, in those winters Of the soul,
By bitter blasts and drear.
o'erswept from memoirs frozen pole,
Win sunny days appear.
Reyiving Hope and Faith, they show
he soul ITS living powers,
And how beneath the Winters snow
Lie gems Of Summer flowers
The Night is Mosher ofthe Day,
The Winter of the Spring,
Aud ever upon Old Decay
The grecnest mosses cling.
Behind the cloud the starlight turks.
Through showers the sunbcams fall
For God, who loyeth all His works,
Hath left hts Hope with all.

A Romance Of the LipdelI Fire.

The element of romance permeaies
every incident and event in life. Even
amid scenes of wild excitement and
deadly danger this curious sentiment is
present, gliding tie darkness with a
| fringe of golden light, aud sowing amid
the turmoil the seeds which bloom in
beautiful blossoms in the future. Who
would have thought when the great Lin
dell sank in storm of fire, and the roar
of the conAagration was heard like the
sound of rushing sea when the sway
ing thousands that jsmmed the streets
shouted in wild confusion, and the scream
of the engines tore the midnight air, that
even there amid the wild din this gentle
spirit of romance was at work, weaving
out Of the incidents Of the great FIRE, a
silver cord to bind two hearts in one.
SO il was, however, aud thusly: In the
general excitement caused by the FIRE
many were drawn from distant streets 10

dens, accompanied by their fathers and
brothers, we're tempted from their homes
to approach the vicinity and gain a near
view Of the awful catastrophe in progress.
About 10 O'elock, two exceedingly pref
ty girls, accompanied BY their father,
approached the corner Of Washington
avenue and Seventh street By some
means they got further involved in the
crowd than they had intended. aud, in
the ebbings and howings Of the multi.
tude, the youngest girl, fair damsel Of
some nineteen, got separated from Ter
sister and father. 1t all occurred in a
moment. and she found herself surround
ed by rude men, many Of them half wild
with excitement and drink. She called
for her father, but her voice was lostamid
the compound Of noises which flled the
air. A paFty OF roughs observed her,
and one Of ihon approached with words
Of insult oa bis tongue. and even At

not possibly be true That Mr.. Lincoln

We say this much, not for the purpose
of preventing personal contributions "
from being made to Mrs. Lincoln, il she
desires them, much less to deter Con-
gress from making a further appropria-
tion for her support, which we should be
glad to have it do; but simply in order
that the people of the nation may not
suppose that Mrs. Lincoln is in anything
like destitute circumstances. Her in
come may not be sufficient to meet all
her wants and necessities, but it is Ger.
tainly large enough to maintain her at
least as comfortably as she lived before
going to Washington.

He then quickly caught the young lady
by the hand, and, plunging into the
crowd, succeeded in bringing her IN
safety to-he clear street beyond. He
then accompanied her home, where, after
little time, her father returned, almost
distracted, for the purpose Of leaving his
other daughter, preparatory to renewing
his search.

The sequel OF this little incident is
highly romantic. The young couple
thus accidentally thrown together on the
night Of the fire never forgot the meeting.
The young man in due time called ut the
house He was to repeat his visit, and
the upshot of the matter was he soon be-
came intimate. Friendship is akin TO
love, and so it proved. The young man
and the maiden he rescued became low
ers, and ere the SHOWS Of Christmas fall
will be man and wife, and it is probable
they will never forget "the night Of the
burning of the Lindell," or hear the
sound of the fire bells without emotion.

Massachusetts, Politics.

John Quincy Adams, the nominee of
the Democratic Convention for Cover
nor, has accepted the nomination. In
his letter of acceptance, which will be
published tomorrow, he says that, after
having been reluctantly compelled to
differ with bis friends of the Republican
party last fall upon grave political ques-
tions, he had hoped to avoid any public
action for at least two years, hoping in
that period to correct or confirm his
opinions upon national policy But in
these momentous times no man of ordi-
nary respect can evade such call as has
been made upon him. NrAdams frankly
states his political opinions. The recent
course of the Republican party has
abated his confidence in it. They seem
lately, at Worcester, to have allowed their
hatred of a man to supply the lack of
any declaration Of principles on national
affairs, and their dread Of intestine strife
to gag their speech on State questions
Mr.. Adams adopts the principles promul-
gated at the Democratic Convention,
and approves Of the doctrine of State
Rights as officially announced. 1t is
difficult, he says, to reconcile the ineom-
potency shown upon questions of finance
and taxation, and says that the intoler-
able burden Of aa exploded and unsci-
entifc plan Of internal taxation, com
bined with tariff which is nothing but
legalized robbery, must have been saddled
upon the people by gross Ignorance or
fraud, and if not speedily removed it
will furnish the exhausted taxpayer with
a semblance of reason for reputation.
Mr.. Adams regards the action of the
Democratic Convention as standing in
honorable contrast to the timorous and
iime-serving tone Of the Republican
Convention, and believes that the wise
and conservative men of the Republican
party regard the sumpiusry laws as pre-
posterous invasions by statute Of the
lawful domain Of morols In eonclu-
sion, Mr. Adams says that after an
avoWal Of his opinions be should feel
that he arrOgaied aa absurd importance

Tho Proposed General Council at ROmO.

The importance of the Ecumenieal or
General Council, just summoned by the
Pope, will not perhaps be appreciated
by the mass OF Protestants, with whom
councils, conventions, conferences, and
general emblies, under various names,
are matters of common occurrence. In
all the history of the Roman Catholic
Church there have been but nineteen
general councils-the first claimed TO
have been held in A. d. 90, known as
the Apostles Council, and the last in
1915. This last, known as the Council
of Trent, was only obtained after a long
and desperate struggle; but its effect was
to revive the church, and give it the
means of increasing its temporal and
spiritual strength. The assembly Of
prelates at Rome in 1854, which pro-
claimed the dogma Of the immaculate
conception of the Virgin, was only
conference, and did not rise to the dig
nifty of a general council. These councils
claim for themselves infallibility in
matters of faith; and are regarded as
infalible by Catholics thr oughout the
world. There is no way of accepting a
part and rejecting part; the doctrines
laid down by the council must be agreed
to in every way, or rejected altogether.
The immediate causes that have led to
the Ecumenical Council now summoned
may not be apparent, but it seems GER
tain that recent events In Italy have
had considerable influence In the
States of the Church, in Italy, in France,
in Mexico, the Roman Church has lost
temporal power; but, as its temporal
power has declined, its spiritual power
has increased. 1t may then be possible
for the General Council at Rome to con-
eede enlarged freedom of action to the
members of their church, larger indeed
than has so far been esteemed practical
BILE Terms even might be arranged on
few points by which both the
G G FTeskk and the Anglican Churches
might be brought into a sort of
working harmony with that of Rome,
that would greatly extend the influence
and usefulness Of all. Compared with
such result, whether the Pope resides
in Rome or any other city is little mat
ter. Sspreme Pontiifs have been absent
from that city for seventy years at
time. The removal to Avignon did no
ultimate damage to the church. 1t in
jured the city more than the Popedom,
And SO now, were the Pope to establish
himself in New York, it would injure
Rome as a municipality more by far
than it would his ecclesiastical power,
a nd deputation from that city would
soon be following him with liberal terms
to win him back.
