VERY BEAUTIFUL are the following lives. They
are, II we mistake not, from the pen of Kentucky
poet, and appeared originally in the Louisville
Journal:
THE RIVER OFTIME.
Oh. wondeafA stream is the river of Time,
As it r. thr ough the realms Of tears.
With s&,. Stless rhythm and musical rhyme,
And a'Jroad ming sweep. and surge surblme,
That blends With the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting like fakes of snow
And the summers like buds between,
And the year is the sheaf-so they come and the,
go,
On the rivers breast. with its ehb and flow,
As it glides through the shadow and sheen.
There's q musical isle on the.rver of Time,
Where the softest of airs arerplaying;
There's coudless sky and tropical cline,
And song rs sweet as vesper chime,
When the Junes with the roses are straying
And the name of this i4e is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there
1here are brows OF heanty ana boSoms OF Snow
There are heaps of dust-but we love- them 80 !!
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody sings
And part of an infants prayer;
There's a lutte unswept, and harp without
strings,
There are broken VOWS and pieces of rings,
And the garments our dead used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the fairy
shore
BY the mirage Ia lifted in air;
Aud we sometimes hear through the turbulent
roar,
Sweet voices we heard in days gone before,
When The wind down the river is fair.
Oh! remembered for aye lie that blessed isle,
All the days of our life till night
When the evening comes with its beautiful
smile
And our eyes are closed to sumber awhile.
May our " greenwood of soul be in sight.

a REPUDIAToR REPUDiATED.

On Thursday the 10th, in the House Of
Representatives, Mr.. Mungen of Ohio,
made a speech upon the finances, in which
he boldly advocated the reputation of the
National debt. Strange to say he received
no sympathy from any quarter On the
contrary, every member Of the House,
Democrats as well as Republicans, very EN-
phatieally declared that they would never
endorse such reasonable language, aad
clinched the whole thing by the adoption Of
the following resolution, which was passed,
with only one vote agains it
Res9leea, That the proposition, direct OF
indirect, to repudiate any portion oil the
debt of the United States, is unworthy the
honor and good name Of the nation and
that the House, without distinction OF par
ty hereby sets its seal Of condemnation on
any and all such propositions.
Thus defending and maintaining our ma
tonal pride, honor and credit This decis.
sion, coming directly from the representa-
ti7es Of the people, sill be regarded by the
other nations Of the earth as the express
viii Of the American people, thus preserving
our credit (as it always has beeDl good every
where
Its very encouraging to know that the
reputation wing Of Democracy has oeutcrcd
in a single district in Ohio, and more en-
couraging to know that it has been igromiu-
iodsly condemned by both parties of this
great country.

ENGLAND.

LONDON, Dec, I7.-The Alabama ques-
ton is again engrossing public attention.
The celebrated Historicus" published a
long communication in the Times this morn
ing, wherein he asserts that the European
States refused to consider Jefferson Davis
and Robert r. Lee pirates for the same
reason that France long before refused to so
regard Benjamin Franklin. The analogy in
the cases Of Paul Jones and Admiral Sem
mes, he thinks is complete, and thence goes
on to draw the obvious inferenees.
The Daily Nc3cS, in an article on Cana
dian matters, says: England S settled colo
NAL policy is a marriage of affection, if pos
ssble; that failing, one of conyeniences. No
Cabinet OF conference will ever again pro-
pose one of force
The rumor that the Suez Canal would be
closed in order that new excavations might
be made, is authoritiyelY denied

NATIONAL ELECTIONS.

Senator Drake of Missouri, q few days
ago introduced a bin to establish uniformity
in the Presidential and Congressional Elec-
tons. IF the elections are to be meddled
with, let Us have thorough work done The
Presidential elections as now held are very
far from giving a far expression Of the will
Of the people. Let us have the direct vote
Of the people or such a change as shall give
each Congressional district its own indepen-
dent elector. As at present arranged. a
bold fraud in Philadelphia or New York
may decide the Presider''a 'al election for
either Of the great states yf Penn eylvania or
New York with their large ELECTORAL votes.
in one way, while the honest vote of the
people may be just the reverse. It may be,
and doubtless is, impossible to entirely pre-
vent frauds, but We have the power 20 con
fine their effects to the smallest possible
area. II represen4 ion in the electoral
college is placed On basis similar 10 the
Congressional and each elector Ike the
member OF Congress, represents the domi-
nant party in that district, we viii be much
surer hereafter of having a President elect
ed by the people We hope If Congress
begins the work Of changing the Present ar
raugemeut Of the elections it viii not stop
until some such system Is devised, as will
give Us popular expression Of the viii Of
the people in Presidential, as well as other
elections.

The Isthmus of Corlnth.

The Hellenic Parliament will shortly dis
euss the project of cutting through the 18th
mus of Corinth. This narrow neck of land
separates the Cults OF Lepanto and Athens,
and, uniting the Morea to Continental
Greece, is an obstacle to navigation between
the Adriatic and the Archipelago, and com
pels all vessels from the coasts of France,
Italy, or Austria, to double Cape Matapan
in order to reach the ports of the Legant
The execution Of this work, by joining the
two seas, would open a new highway to nav
igation, and vessels from Marseilles, Genoa,
Naples and Messina, by passing direct
through the Canal of Corinth, would save
fourteen hours and voyage often danger
Gus, while those from Briudisi, Aucona, aud
Trieste, would eeonomize twenty four hours
On each side Of the isthmus there exist if
not ports at least deep bays, in which YES
sels Of large tonnage daily find a safe anchor

workshops in our own country. Com
suaers and producers are brought into ir-
innate relations with each other; and to
both there is great saving in the tax on
transportation. That diversity in the
employmeuts Of men which is 50 necessary
to public thrift is hence secnred.
The tariff question, as We presume, is
one of the subjects that will engage the
attention Of Congress at its present session.
We do not object to auv revision Of the ex-
listing tariff that viii improve ii and make
it more generally useful, or relieve it from
the charge Of faYoring special interests;
yet we should exceedingly regret any
change that would materially reduce the
receipts Of the Government from this
source. 1t served a most admirable pur-
pose during the war; and, moreover, the
Government still needs, and for years to
come must have, large supply Of gold,
and Of this supply the tariff must be the
source. The business Of the country has
adjusted itself to its rates, and unless il
can be improved with high degree OF
practical certainty its schedule of specific
duties had better be left to stand as they
are Manifestly the country does not need
a lower tariff when our imports are SO much
in excess of our experts We have large
debt on hand, the interest Of which must
be paid every year, and the principal of
which ought to be reduced at the annual
rate Of at least $50 000,000; and to meet
these requirements the Government needs
its present gold receipts The proper place,
in our judgment, to tighten the burden Of
taxation is in the department of internal
revenue. Here it is most directly and
severely felt, with no benefits arising from
protection; and hence here we would afford
the relief without disturbing the existing
tariff in its main features and principles Il
is wise to let well enough alone. The III

CHICAGO, Dee. l8.-The St. Paul Press
Of to day publishes a letter from Pembins
dated December 9th, which says that, how
ever incredible it may appear, it is neYerthe-
less true that Governor McDoUgal is willing
TO enlist even savages in order to force his
yoke upon the Christian people at Winni-
peg.
! learned that McDougal's S companies
we're using every effort to induce the Swan
by Indians, near the mouth of the Red riv-
er, to declare for Canada and to take up
arms in favor Of McDongal. The writer
says the notorious Shannon, cut-throat and
outlaw hend, who instigated the Sioux to
destroy the United States mail, on Ruffler'
route to Montana, had been furnished with
an outfit, ostensibly to trade with the hos
tile Sioux, encamped near Mouse river, but
with the actual intention Of enlisting from
four hundred to six hundred of these bloody
devils on the side of Canada and MeDougal.
| am sorry to inform you that Richards,
McDougal's Attorney General, has com
pared the information, and, in the presence
of several gentlemen, justified Canada and
McDougal in making use Of any force OBJ
tainable for the purpose of subjugating the
Red river people.
A postscript to this letter says 1t is sad
news that Colonel Dennis, the SurSeyor
General of the southwest Territories, has
succeeded in raising aud arming some two
hundred Swanby Indians, with number of
their English half-bred relations, and that
they have garrisoned the stone fort As
soon as they form a junction with the Cana
dians, the Sioux of Minnesota at Portage la
Prairie will march upon the provisional force
at and near Fort Garry.
General Keil has called In his reserve,
who were temporarily absent, and over two
hundred men were reported at headquarters,
within few hours march A collision is
hourly expected
Another letter says proclamation spread
By McDougal has been captured and sup
pressed.
Intense excitement exists, and if it comes
to bloodshed, DR.. Schultz, Dr. Brown and
James Ross will be the FIRST victims, they
having from the first advocated the Cana
dian policy and abused the Hudson Bay
Company.

The North american RerjcC states that
there are now in America and Europe more
than a hundred and fifty manufactures of
india rubber articles, employing from four to
five hundred operatives each, aud consum-
ing more than ten millions Of pounds Of
gum per annum. The business, too. is con-
sidered to be still in its infancy. Certainly
it is increasing. Nevertheless, there is no
possibility Of the demand exceeding the sup
ply. The belt Of land around the globe.
five hundred miles north and FIVE hundred
miles south Of the equator, abounds in trees
producing the gum, and they can De tapped,

A Few nights ago train Of some twenty
cars was descending an inclined plane on
the I,ehigh Valley Railroad, near Nanticoke,
when the cable attached 20 the train broke,
and the cars moved at a fearful rate Of speed.
A man and woman were on the cars and
jumped of. The man fractured leg and
the women was seriously injured, but the
Jump saved their lives, as the train smashed
several cars and house at the bottom Of
the plane.

probationers, churchesand parsonages worth

ers, and l,l79,9S4 scholars In each Of
these figures there is an advance Of from 2
to 10 per cent, except that the bishops re-
main the same, and the probationers show
a decrease Of l0.624. The increase of
membership has been 40 600 less than the
number Of probationers last year. The
deaths would not amount to a quarter of
this number.

ROME, Dec lS.-The sessions Of the
Eeumenical Council will be resumed on
January 6. The French bishops have pro-
tested against the Pope' s interference in the
deliberations Of the Council The Spanish
bishops, both homo and colonial, sustain
the Pope
Another reason is given to-day by the
Gcumenical Council for the adjournment
of the sittings to January g. The bishops
were under. the necessity of abandoning the
Cathedral Of st. Peter on account Of the
acoustic imperfection of the hall, and have
therefore resolved to hold the sessions here
after at another place, but which cannot be
put in order for several days
The Council has not yet named the
seventy two members Of the three com
missions provided for, namely: Discipline,
Religious Orders, and Eastern Affairs The
members Of the Commission on the Faith
have been designated, but their names have
not yet been made public.
