THE DAILY NEWS.
A Years Work.

Sitting beside the easement,
In the chill October day,
while Twilight. wrapped in her misty veil,
Was sobbing her life away;
Hearing the tinkle OF the beck
And the chirp of the lingering bird,
And the whistle Of the homebouDd hind,
And the low of the distant herd;
Watching the red leaves floating down
From the branches, one by one;
Thipk'ng of all that o year could do,
Of all that a year had done.
Sweet as an April morn 1t rose,
The love that had failed go soon,
Strewing her path with bright May flowers,
Brilliant and warm as June.
It dropped in August's fervid smile,
It fell like the years last rose;
She will scarcely trace its resting place,
Meath December's coming SHOWS.
The blossoms will bloom into life again
At the call Of the su unmer sun,
But nor tie nor tide can undo for her
What single year has DONE
Sitting beside the easement
Till the stars CLEAN through the fits.
The large tears dropping, slow and cold
On those folded hands OF hers.
They Rlitte as bright in the red freight
As the diamond that she wore,
Ere sho drew it of, the mocktng pledge
OF q troth whose truth was DER.
The hellow dark ness around her creeps;
Tho days long watch is run,
And all that they swore but Dea,h could do
little year has done.

SUEZ.
Trade and Traffic of the New Route

From GalignanFS Messenger Of Paris, Dee 0.
The traffic from the opening to Nov. 2S-that
is eleven days-was as follows:-Fifty-two YES
sells arrived from Port Said at Lake Timsah
between the 18th and 10Th of November, and
seven between the Goth and 2Sth; fifty-one
vessels left Lake Timsah for Suez from the 10th
to the 2lst, and tve from the 2Sd to the 18TH.
The arrivals at Port Said from Suez in the inter-
val between the 18th and 2Sth were, altogether,
forty-fve. OF these vessels seven were from
eastern seas on their way to Europe; nine were
from the Mediterranean, on their way to the
Indies.
The total number of vessels that passed
through the canal during the period referred to
was 130, the aggregate tonnage of which was
1000 tons.
Commercial Difficulties Between Turkey and
From, the Independence Beige, Dec 9.
A new difficulty seems about to arise between
the Porte and Egypt Several Governments of
Europe and America, which have no Consulates
in the latter country, desire to establish them
there, now that the Suez Canal has been opened.
Steps have been taken at Constantinople to OBJ
tain the recognition of such officials, but up to
the present time the exequatur has been refused
by the Divan, on the ground that the Executives
demanding 1t are without diplomatic agents ac-
credited to the Turkish sovereign, and that only
States which are represented to the Suzerain
can be allowed to send consular delegates to the
Egyptian capital.
A correspondent from Alexandria states that
the countries interested are about to make al
appeal to the great powers with view to OBJ
