have no partisan prejudices, wish to await
facts, which alone can reveal their value
to US. If they succeed, SO much the
better, the country will have acquired
some political men whom it was W
of possessing !; if not, the injury will be
theirs, for their inaptitude for the man
agement Of public affairs will not be long
before making itself evident amongst so
much urgent business 10 which the min
istry of the Parliament must turn their
attention. What is above all is that
they should show themselves political
men, without preconcelVed and narrow
ideas, without mean spiteS, without Sus-
picious and fears, without! the prcteos!on
of beng retormers and overtoraioE their
office.
If they followed this advice, N djf,

1t was impossible that the Chamber
should any longer be subjected to the
abnormal fact which for several days oc-
cupied the astoniShed attention of the
country.

disappears and leaves the Government in
a crisis, and the Chamber in vain looks
for a responsible power before it.
In the meanwhile, we learn that outside
Parliament a Knot of political men are
squabbling about forming a new Cabinet,
which is to unite in the common embrace
of Signor Digny the most opposite groups
of the Chamber.
We have witnessed an imitation, or
rather IA plagiarism, Of the comedy of
Sografi, Gle Convenience Teatrali." For
several days the country and the Parlia-
ment have been obliged to be spectators
of the strange story TO watch the
spites of the prime donne, the jealousieS
of the second parts, and so forth.
The public look on stupeied, shake
their thousand heads, and ask: Are these
parliamentary institutions?
No, they are not. What is happening
is only the unworthy parody Of the par
liamentary system. Woe, if the country
were obliged to think that these tricks
were the utmost the constitutional system
can do 1t is the duty of every sincere
man of convictions to protest with his
own words AGAINST Such alterations.

shall dednitvely retire into private life.

But she answered, Father no, not yet.
For look ut them and forget,
That the children went away.
The boys come ba.k, aud our Mary, too
With her apron on OF checkered blue
And sit here every day. faan
Johnny still whites ships tall masts,
And Willie his leaden bullets casts,
While Mary her PATCHWORK sews;
At evening time three childish prayers
Go up TO God from those little chairs,
So softly that no one knows.
Johnny comes back from the lbliow deep,
Wilne wakes lfrom his battle field sleep,
To say goodnight to me; lEe
Mary's a wife and mother no more,
But tired child whose play-tlme Is Ger,
And comes to rest-on my knee.

At the Fathers throne to pray
