LIFE BEYOND DEATH.

The winds they sigh, and the birds they cry.
And winter reignS i'll the withered bowers.
But after the weary. dreary hours.
With pattcrings sweet of her silver feet
The spring comes trailing wreaths of flowers.
That shine like ranbows through the showers
The birds they fly. and the leaves they die.
And drift in dull heaps down the valleys.
But after the weary, dreary days,
The winds they beat the snow and the sleet
TO leaves of roses, and leaves Of lilies.
And the fire of the wild pinks breaks to blaze.
We sigh, alas for the flower of the grass,
And the daisy 'rcft of the dew so tender,
But after the dreary, Weary weeks,
The dove is seen, and the bouSh grows green,
And the hills are summed with sudden spcndor
And the water tndcth voice and speaks
And Wc. too, pass, like the flower of the grass,
From spring to winter, and frost so hoary.
And thence into silence low and dim.
But we shall awake, for His great loves sake
Who hath gone before lis to live in Glory.
For he hath promised us life with l.im.

A CONVERSATION WITH REVERDY JOHN
COM


| A correspondent Of the New York Times
has had an interview with the late Mnisterto
England just returned. While we doubt
the propriety of such freedom Of expression
as Mr.. Johnson ndulges, our readers will
nevertheless be glad to know his opinion up
on the English complications. We annex an
extract of his conversation:
Eor a few minutes Mr.. johnson here relaps-
ed into silence, and then broke out again
Summers speech is absurd DO you know
what they say of it in England? Clarendon
says that it is absurd and preposterous; that it
is not the speech of either a lawyer ora states
man. that its propositions are wholly mad
missible. Why" said Mr.. Johnson, this
same Mr.. Summer wrote to Mr.. Bright on the
10Th or 20th of last January that the protocol
which sent here would have been almost
unanimously approved if it had been received
three weeks sooner. The fact is the incoming
President did not want the question settled
during the administration Of Andrew John
son, and the Republican party did not want ii
settled by me. They did not want the eclat
of having the most difficult question, short Of
the question Of actual separation, that has
arisen betweel the two countries, settled by
Democratic administration That was the
point of objection to my coarse and to my
protocol. Mr. Sumner said to my colleague,
Mr.. Vickers, that month earlier it would
have been as welcome as champagne. Bright

why don't the English papers publish Alr
Summers speech?'
"Whv, because it is too nonsensical. Clar-
endon saws that the United States as a Gov
ernment have no claims against England as
Government The United States have pr-
vate individual claims against England, and
England has private individual claims against
the United States. These the English people
and Government are willing to submit to
arbitration. Clarendon says that England
might as well say that she would reject the
treaty because the holders of Irish Republican
bonds might come in under its terms The
Americans whom have met abroad denounce
Mr.. Sumner as much as the English people
do. 1t is a foolish speech. Take that point
which he makes about blockade That
decision in III Black, is totally against hlm
