THE WEARY HEART,

My heart is worn and weary,
Sorely oppressed and sad,
know not whether on this earth,
ever can be glad;
For loved and happy faces,
Which once around me shone,
Are scattered as the morning clouds,
Before the rising sun.
This world, how full of sorrow,
Where all was bright and fair!
The hearts once bright and joyous,
Are now weighed worn with care.
And homes where lately gathered,
So many youthful forms,
Are reft of dearest treasures,
Their sweetest. purest charms.
Yes-everywhere wander,
Imiss some cherished one;
Those that have sparkled on my path.
Like gems beneath the sun.
How dark seems now the future
How changed from day to night
Hopes brightest visions vanished-gone
Forever from my sight.
Yet, there are dear ones left to me,
Whose hands are warm and true,
Who turn to me for happiness,
For love and guidance too. ......
And though to love-to cherish,
sometimes fear, is vain;
Yet time, the mighty healer,
May bring mel joys again. -.
Earth's brightest scenes are transient,
But there's world above,
Where naught can ever sever,
Our hearts from those we love. . .
There gathered round the throne of God,
Long severed friends will meet, e,
And spend a long eternity,
In holy converse sweet.

ITHACA, May 10, 1869.
Professor Goldwin Smith, to whom Senator Sum-
ner alluded in his recent speech ON the Reverdy
Johnson treaty, delivered reply to that speech this
evening before the members Of Cornell University
and crowded assembly OF citizens, among whom
were several distinguished men from different parts
OF the country. The address was very able and COM
prehenslve. MIR. Smith promised that he spoke both
as an Englshman still loyal to his country and also
as one hoping TO make his home for many years IN

Senator Summers speech, argument by argument.
bad faith and asserted that the PamerstOn govern
ment like the Gladstone government, was only
anxious TO do Justice to this country. England was
willing to let Canada 60 when it pleased. Every.
body In Great Britain would consider the loss OF the
West India Islands galn and he, II 1t could be
proved that Ireland would be happier disunIed from
England, would vote for her independence But no
Englishman would ever consent to renguish any OF
these countries as an equivalent for such claims as
those set up by Mr.. Sumner. Senator Sumner had
not treated England justly HeOmitted to state tnat
England rejected the offer Of France to join pO
litlcal recognition Of the confederacy this Sc
cretly done to Offset the escape OF the Alabama.
Senator Sumner throughout was influenced by his
hatred OF slavery and lugged his rancor against that
dead institution into every political sphere. His
Jaunts against England have struck a strong blow
at the very men, like John Bright and others, who
have always opposed slavery and been the warmest
friends OF the Union. They would feel its effect,
while the tory party, the enemies OF America would
be encouraged by the speech. He closed with
warm appeal for justice and peace amid earnest ap
plause.

NEW ORLEANS, May TO- 1869.
Until last night the adjoining city of Jefferson,
though included In the Metropolitan Police district
has refused accept the Metropolitan force Offering
armed resistance to every attempt OF the Meropoli
tans to exercise the functions OF their oices. Last
night the Metropolans Of this city mustered to the
number OF 300, under captain and detailed to take
charge OF the Jefferson precinct made movement
about ten O'Clock on the municipal buildings in
JEFFERSON, which were filed with armed citizens A
small battle ensued Twelve fourteen Metropoli-
tans were wounded, two OF whom are thought dan
gerously. The police retired, and Governor War
moth called upon General Mower for troops.
One company, which was furnished this morning
marched quietly to the municipal buildings, meeting
no opposition, and installed the Metropotans in
possession. The citizens Of Jefferson much ex-
cited and the soldiers are still on the ground. No
demonstration was made against the troops though
the police force was driven or though four times as
large as the body OF soldiers No citizens known
to be hurt, having been protected by the market
house and police buildings
The action OF the Jefferson authorities in resisting
the Metropolitan Police was entirely wrong In view
OF the iact that the Supreme Court had decided that
the Metropolitan organization was legal. 1t is
stated, however, that the police commenced firing
on the Jenersonans last night without stating their
business or who they were. 1t appears, from all
accounts, that the number Of Jefersonans engaged

This took place after the municipal officers had

Unonsiness of the British Press Regarding the
Situation Between America and England
The Peace Society Anniversary.
LONDON, May 10, 1869.
The London Times to-day continues to discuss the
relations OF Great Britain and the United States
After tracing the feeling OF the Americans towards
England In past times and the conduct Of England
during the late rebellion, 1t says:'The Americans
know that conduct was, or was intended to be, void
of offence. Ii private opinions and sympathies are
to be made the subject Of international litigation
Americans must consider what counter charges
they are liable to. In cause so founded the wiser
course would be to put aside such matters and
fine the negotiations to affairs within the cogni-
zance Of public law"
The Daily Telegraph also pursues the same
theme. 1t says:-"Having made our protest we
may be well content to wait 1t Is undesirable to
leave the question open; but in the present condi
ton OF American feeling no possibility OF o speedy
and satisfactory settlement Is apparent. Beyond
the desire to justly this country has interest
IN concluding convention, save that such agree
ment might protect our commerce hereafter from
such depredations as those committed by the Ala
bama. A convention not cordially accepted by the
Americans as o full discharge OF their supposed
grievances would be vaueless and the execution OF
such compact, If made at the present time, would
be exceedingly doubtful His honest and faithful
exposition OF the views of each nation will pave the
way to conciaton and settlement"
The anniversary meeting OF the Peace Society was
held to-day. Resolutions were adopted regretting
the rejection by the United States Senate Of the
Alabama claims treaty; hoping If the statesmen of
the two countries are unable to grapple with the
emergency, that the reason and Christianity OF the
two great Anglo-saxon nations may interpose TO
prevent war, and rejoicing in the activity and ear.
