ers; commerce and industry are dead; civil
war is imminent, and the social edi6ce, de-
prived of proper support, is about to tall to
pieces. AS no one has appeared with genius
enough to save the country, the ex-Queen says
she feels it to be her duty to persist more than
ever in her firm determination to remain Its
sovereign. She calls upon the people to unite
with her in the work of regeneration, OF toler-
ance, and especially of liberty, of which she is
the symbol. In conclusion, she says: Il am
entirely devoted to you; and I como to you,
my son in my arms, to restore to you what has
been taken from you-your repose, your Tor
tune, your power, and the supremacy OF your
faith"

golden color Of The evening suni -.
Let not the sweet oay in rs swee ness ole'
While my days work is only just begun.
Counting the happy chances strown about

The rosy lights OF morning all went our,
And it was burning noon, and time 10 rest
Then lear ing low upon piece of shade,
Friueed round with viole;s and pansies sweet;
MY b. art and I, I said, will be delayed,
and plan our work while cools tho sultry heat
But when the idle pleasure ceased to please,
And awoke, and not plan was plann:d,
Just as drowning man, at WHIT he sees.
Catches tor life, caught the thing at hand.
AID so life's little work day hour has all
Been spent, and misspent dong what could;
And IN regrets and efforts to recall
The chance of having, being, what would.
And SO sometimes cannot choose bat cry.
Seeing my late sown flowers are hardly set
Odarkenng color of the evening sky,

RELIGIOUS ITEMS.

The Bible Society have finally de-
cided to hold the ordinary public meet
ings III May.
There are in Great Britain 2,411
Baptist churches, comprising III ,525
members, and 3,Ol4 Congregational
churches.
The Clerical Journal states that five
CONGREGATIONAL ministers have gone
over TO the Established Church during
the year.
Several synagogues have been
opened in Madrid. Expelled in 1892, tho
Jews have never since that time cele-
brRted their worship in Spain.
There is an unusually large at
tendance of representatives at the
Methodist Episcopal Church Confer
enCe, now in session Mt New Philadel-
phia. Ohio. The proceedings thus far
have been harmonious, orderly and
systematic.
One OF the subjects to be discussed
by the Romish Ecumenical Council is
a proposed change in the method OF
electing the Pope, according to which
the election shall be made before the
avoid the danger of advantage being
taken by Italy OF long intcrregnum
to take possession OF Rome.
The First German Baptist Church
in this country was established at
Philadelphia, in 1913. In &c years they
have increased TO So churches with
4,5IS members.
Tho Pittsburgh Christian Advocate
Indignantly denies the "wild rumor''
that the Methodist Episcopal Church
is given to wire-pulling to secure pOliti-
cal appointments tor its members.
The Friend publishes statistics to
show that the Friends in Pennsylvania
are decreasing in numbers. Since 1880
but new meetings have been estab-
lishcd, while 81 have been abandoned.
During the past ten months of the
current year of the American and For
eign Christian Union 1t has received 80
per cent. more contributions than dur
ing the corresponding period of last
year. The appropriations for the year,
however, amounting to $l4O, 900, were 40
per cent. in advance Of last year. The
society's work has been thoroughly re-
organized during the past year; and 1t
certainly needed it, as it had greatly
suffered from want of proper manage
ment. The charges lately made against
the society do not affect its grand work.

The Auburn Convict.

IRON inc INDEPENDENT.
II Is with few eyes upon him, with
few hearts i'll sympathy for him, and
with few thoughts stirring anybody's
mind concerning him, that Mr.. Will
liam II. Seward has made his final
pilgrimage from civil station 10 private
life.
Old age brings reverence; bodily in
trinity eIicits kindness; disappointed
ambition is entitled TO pity; and dOmes-
tic sorrow commands gentle respect.
Mr.. Seward is old, is intirm, is disap-
pointed and is bereaved-let him re-
CeivN the proper consideration which is
his fOur-1Old due; but let not n false
sentimentality now prevent just char
HcteriZHtiOn of his sad and warning
career.
II il 81 hard word to say OF any man
that he has betrayed his country: to
say il unjustly is grievOus; to say it
spitoiully is criminal; but to say it IL
diciOusly of one who deserves the fear
full condemnation is sometimes high
that great Scripture which enjoins upon
errinE men the maxim, Judge not,
that ye be not Judged" we Will not al
low our weak human judgment to pass
so crushing Il sentence upon so broken
man; nevertheless, nothing that is
pititul in the spectacle OF his downfall
from the pinnacle OF his apostacy ought
| 10 prevent the Just verdict that he fell
| rs an apOStatc.
There WAS Il time when Mr.. Seward
was the one white lily Of our Ameri-
can pUiitics-the ono conspicuous bear
err of tho banner of freeuom-the one
idol of the party which he aflerward
deceived and stabbed. How this mans
fine speeches used to ring in his cOun~
trymnn's ears! How this mans dis
hOnored name has now become by
word on his cOuntrymen's lips! Such
| ii the lickleness of political fortune.
The moral ofthis ''sad, eventful his
| tory" ig:-tO compromise ones prlncl'
plies is to shipwreck ones career.
| If, during the last ten years of his
| life, Mr.. Seward had maintained unim-
paired the cOnsi stency of the previous
twenty, what reputation he would
have enjoyed to-day! How like strong
tower his name would have stood to
the admirinS gaze of his fcllow-citizens!
I3ut he who pmlters with his own con-
science, ard does public despite 10 his
own private convictions, must consent
10 see his good name fall to the ground,
and To he trOdden under foot of men.
Toward MIR. Seward, aS n lone and
GesOlHtc old man, sitting i'll his death
shmdowed house at Auburn, our heart
goes out with an overflow orsympathy;
but toward the political trickster Oftwo
administrations, the narplOt of both,
we bear proper share of that abiding
Indignation which this treacherOus
politician has justly earned from the
American people,
