The Empire approaches.

The New York Citizen, journal of
considerable influence, i'll late number
announces inc a serious manner the
approach of an imperial government in
the United States. Two newspapers are
about to be started, one in Philadelphia
and the other in New York, whose avo-
wed object is to advocate the abandon
ment of a democratic form of government
and the establishment of an empire with
Grant at its head. One Of these news
papers is to be named the Empire and
the other the lmperiaiist. The motto is
to be- for the one " The Empire is Peace"
and for the other " Let US Have Peace"
This is the prospectus of the Imperia/ist.
We reserve our comments upon this start
ling announcemcnt.- Bee.
THE MPER1ALlsT.
The public and the trade are hereby
informed that arrangements for the pub
lication of the Imper'alist are now fully
completed, and the first number of this
ong-expected journal will be issued on
Saturday April Sd.
For the first time in the history of the
United States, an American journal
dares to proclaim as false, and pernicious
in theirinfIuence, the Democratic dogmas
of popular sovereignty and equality; and
to demand that, Oh the ruins of this un-
fortunate republic, shall be reared the
firm and substantial structure of an
empire.
The creed of the Mperialist is revolu-
tionary its mission 0 prepare the mind
of the American people for the revolution
that has already begun throughout the
country.
The conductors of this journal believe
democracy to be failure. Though thco-
retically plausible, in its practical work
iugs it has been found totally inadequate
to the wants of the American people.
We believe that the national faith, if
lett in the keeping of the populace, will
be sullied by the sure Reputation of the
national debt, and that an imperial gov.
ernment can alone protect the rights of
national creditors.
We believe that an imperial govern.
ment, in Its paternal relation to the peo-
pie, will care equally for all citizens, and,
while guaranteeing security to the rights
of capital, will jealously protect the in
terest of the industrial classes.
We believe that the republic means
lawlessness, corruption, insecurity to
person and property, robbery of the pub
lie creditors and civil war that the empire
means law, order, security, public faith
and peace.
This creed, the Imperaa7ist will advo-
cate earnestly, fearlessly aud without
compromise, and many will find in it the
open expression of convictions and opin-
ions long held and cherished in secret |
Its columns will be free from low vul-
garisms which have heretofore disgraced
American journalism, and, in the discus
sion of political and social questions, will
unite the high tone and thorough culture
et the English weekly press, with the
more popular features Of the best current
literature of the day.
The mperialist will be published
weekly, on Saturday. 1t will be prompt
ly forwarded to other cities, and sold by
news dealers throughout the country.
al orders and business communications
may be- addressed to the Imperial Pub
fishing Company, No. 81 Mercer street,
New York city.

The Valley of the Shadow.
BY w. L. SHOEMAkHs

l.
There's stream in desolate valley,
A stream that il sombre for aye;
No barks on it bithsomely daily,
Nor winds on it wantonly plays
No bird dips its wing on its waters,
No tree, save the cypress, spray,
But ferryman GRIM in that valley
A ferryu,sn wrinkled and gray,
Rows over the crowds that there rally
Forever, by night and by day
Rows all of them over the river,
Throng thither as fast as they may.
Like pilgrims, down into that valley,
From over the hills. FAR away,
BY many pathway. and alley,
A-weary, necessarily stray
The Young and the old, bearing with them,
Fen those who have lived but day.
A mystery hangs DER that valley
A shadow of gloom and decay;
No songs. echo there muscaly,
The, eGone are light-hearted and gay;
The chill of the grave falls upon them,
AS frost On the blossoms of May.
Above the dark stream in that valley,
Float clouds, like vague pEant"ms of woe :;
Below, the old boa tman keeps tally,
And-wlllin~ or n"t-thry must 90
With him-everv s"nl l-u'er the ferry,
But back they may fare, nevermorr.
Some gladly, It's said. reach that valley,
Discourse of glory to coRe.
And thence, if they could. would not sally;
But others with horror are dumb,
And fain would retreat DER the mountains,
But are powerless. motionless, numb.
Far off. we have dreams of that valley,
Strange dreams that haunt, ghost-like, our
.. - souls,
When from it mist, magically-
A vapor ephitic-outrolls,
And the sound Of our hearts in their throb-
bing,
Seems that of bell, when it tolls.
Forever tend all to that valley,
Who breath this still faltering breath;
In vain on the way We may daily,
An inner voice inwardly saith, i
For the valley is the Valley O. ths shadow,
And the name of the ferryman, Death.

The Guanara Plant.


In Guanara we have new plant ad-
dpd to the class containing theme and
caffeine, such as tea, coffee, mate.
Theme, the active principle Of tea is
spoken Of by chemists as Identical with
caffeine; but physiology and hygiene do
acknowledge such d sdmeness. OF diff.
fereut plants mentioned mate CONTAINS
the least amount Of theme, aud guanara
twice as much as the best tea. Il has
the advantage over tea and coifeee 10
its being prepared for use IN cold water,
and iu its being an excitant Of greater
power than those substances.
The plant which yields gpapara is
the pr,iliinia soyLiles. Il is, as describ-
ed Mrs. Agsssiz, in the travels 10 Bra.
zil by herself aud husband, q shrub, or
rather vine, for it is a travelling plant
like our high bush blackberry, eight
feet high when full grown, aud bears q
beam the size Of coffee bean, two be-
ipg enclosed in each envelope. The
bean, after being roasted, is pounded in
asmall quantity sf water, and it becomes
when throroushly ground and when dry
about the color Of chocolate. Il Is
worked up into cylinders about seven
ounces ID weight In this state It is
grated (the greater being always the
rough tongue Of the piraruca) and when
iniyed with sugar aud water il makes q
refreshing beverage Of an agreeable fla-
vor. Guanara is one Of the great staples
Of MauIies, on river Of the same pane,
and in the province Of Mato Gresa, in
Brazil. At Rio Janerio its costs about

The Three Little Chairs.


They sat alone by the bright wood Gre,
The gray haired dame and the aged sire,
Dreaming Of days gone byi
The tear drop fell on each wrinkled cheek,
They both had thought that they could no,
speak, N &. - r... -
As each heart uttered sigh.
For their sad fearful eyes deserted
Three little chairs placed side by side,
Against the sitting room wall; m
old-fasbioned enough as there they stood,
Their seats Of flag and their frames Of wood,
With their backs so straight and tall.
Then the sire shook bis silvery head,
And with trembling voice he gently said
"Motber, those empty ehairsi
They bring us spch sad, sad thoughts tonight
Well put them forever out Of sight
In the small dark room up stairs."
But she answered Father, no, dot yet,
For look at them and forget
That the children went away.
The boys come back, and our Mary, too, Il
With her apron on Of cheekered blue,
And sit here every day.
Johnny still whittles ships tall masts,
And Willie his leaden bullets casts,
While Mary her patchwork sews,
At evening times three childish prayers
Go up TO God from those little chairs,
SO softly that no one knows.
Johnny comes back from the billowy deep,

GUY HILLIARD'S SKELETON.

Violet Heath was an only daughter,
and belle. Pretty, highly accomplish.

ed supreme 10 Cliiton-the pleasant
little country town where her father re.
sided-queen Of fashion, as well as queen
Of hearts, All the young men admired
her; and as natural consequence, all
the female population envied and strove
to initiate her. Whether her chief
charm consisted in her fair, dimpled
face, or deep blue eyes, looking like half
blown iorget.me- -nots batked 10 dew; or
in her curling, golden tresses; or mis-.
chievous rosy mouth; or 10 her half
tender, half uniting air and manner,
no one could say; but it was generally
agreed upon that she was quite beauty
Violet was uniformly kind to her
many suitors, making her denials, when
necessary, so sweetly, that the rejected
ones felt almost as much favored as the
accepted. And when Guy Hilliard came
to take charge Of the village school, al,
though he was yodng man Of fne ap.
pearance aud excellent character, it was
q long while before the village beauty
vouchsafed 70 him the least sign Of pre-.

as they generally do, succeeded at last;
and in due course Of time, one tender,
moonlit eve, under honeysuckle arbor,
in the old squire's garden, the young
man pleaded his cause in true loyer-like
fashion, and was transported into third
heaven Of bliss by being accepted. The

A WoNDERFuL RIsa. There Is q
story OF certain prince Who had q
wonderful ring, which prickled his En-
ger whenever be was doing anything
wrong Il was given him to help him
to keep upright and good, ana he was
told that 50 long as hs worei Il he would
prosper. Al first he set great store by
this ripG hut in time he began TO be
yexed At bang 50 often checked BY its
pricking, and so often stopped from
doing what he wished. One day he
had set his heart upon something that
he was yet well aware was wrong, and
he was ABOUT to do it in spite Of the
warning Of tho ring, but il pricked him
SO sharply that be drew it of his finger
in a passion, and threw IL away, aud
from that moment he fell into bad ways
and misfaFtunes, and came at last TO .
very sad end.
Now this Is only pheasant little story
but II is meant to help us to understand
great truth. We have all Of MS some.

which CHECKS US when We do wrong
and makes Us uneasy. Any one Of us
knows quito wen that II we say o thing
that is not true, orldo q thing we know
We ought not to do, and what We ara
afraid Of being found out 70 have done,
We feel something within US that makes
