SylvIa's Song.

The days are eweet and long-ohi sweet and long;
All day st and dream. or sing the song
That some sang for me one summer day
For me, to me- before he went his way
The DAYS are sweet and long-oh sweet and long;
And in the sun | sit and sing my song;
Some day he will come back who went away,
And sing the song sing from day to day.
The days are long, but sveet-oh long, but sweet
Some day will hear the music OF his feet
Who sang for me, and sang my heart away
Ny happy heart before he went his way.
Some day-to-day, pc haps-he'll come TO me,
And then the days. so long. but sweet 10 me-
Will lose the burden of so long. so longl'
And only keep the sweet of all the song.

mourn his sudden death.

It was announced from Paris some
iays since that President Grant had
instructed Minister Washburne to re-
cognize the French Republic, and to
convey the congratulations of the Gov
ernment TO the French authorities on
the successful establishment of Re-
public. AS yet we have seen no ad
vices from Washington confirming this
Paris news, and We hope the President
has not officially recognized the new
French Government before it has been
demonstrated that there is power or
ability to maintain Republic on the
ruins of the old monarchy. We re-
garded Grants position in the Cuban
recognition question as being yer y
statesmanlike and think the same train
of reasoning would apply in this case,
and especially as we were on the most
friendly terms with Prussia.
The European powers seem to regard
the establishment ola French Republic
with jealousy and eyince disposition
TO lend aid to Prussia rather than in
terfere in behalf of France to bring
,out peace. The recognition on the
part of the United States would, in
honor, bind the Government to lend
aid to France, but just at the present
