UnMedded.

Oh, thou beloved. who shouldst have been mine
serenely beautiful and wise and strong,
Consider whom my life has never known,
How have missed thee, seeking thee alone
All my life long?
Somewhere upon the wide and misty track
/ strayed behind, or did not wait for thee;
And so must always mourn my bitter lack
For on this weary road we go not back.
All, woe Is me!
Often with sorely burdened heart and mind.
When there were none to aid on understand,
How have CROPPED with tears, alone and blind,
In the thick darkness; longing but to find
Thy helpful hand!
For believed that Love is doubly armed
Against all woes and with mistaken breath
Could pass through pain and suffering unbalanced;
Could take up poisonous things and not be
harmed.
And dare even death.
And how shall Love, immortal and sublime"
l said, be hindered of its best estate
BY any petty chance of space or time?
Alas my life has lost its freshest prime
And still l wait.
How beautiful our mingled lives had been,
Had we but found ourselves in our youth
The world had grown despite its stain and sin,
Sweeter because we two had lived therein
Our utter truth.
Then all the myriad ills which Fate contrives
Wherewith 10 fret mems hearts, to us had been
But notes along the sunshine of our lives;
Naueht could have harmed us, since the true
BY discipline.
Then this amending toll and ceaseless toss
Had never marred my life ; the hindering load
OF worldly circumstance. of gain or loss
Had seemed to us but cobwebs, stretched across
Our upward road.
Where art thou, love? Far as the farthest pole
Hast thou, too vaguely dreamed of what
should be?
Or, mated early with some feebler soul.
Has struggled with thy bonds in grief and dole,
Longing for me?
had been more than all the world TO thee,
So proudly tender, so entirely true,
So wise and tireess in my ministry,
More dear than any other soul could be-
All my life through.
Alas the suns last glimmer has kissed
The highest mountain tops TO gold and now
The crimson west has changed to amethyst,
And all the vale is dim with chilly mist,
But where art thou?
Too late too late the darkness gathereth,
And the night falleth ptiless and dumb;
I cannot reach thee with this hopeless breath
But when walk the other side of death,
Wilt thou not come?

THEY are having lively times in Span
ish Cortes. A great uproar was re.
Gently created by the offer of resolu.
ton censuring the Government. The
latter refused to allow vote to be taken.
and explained the laws made since the
home revolution could not be extended
to the provinces, and slavery could not
be abolished in Cuba until the insurrec-
ton was suppressed. In view of the
fact that the Cubans have so often been
declared subjugated, is this not flimsy
pretext for delaying manumission ?
Though the members of the Cortes were
divided on the question of censuring
the Government, they did agree that
the rebellion in Cuba ought to be put
down at once, and a proposition was
made to send 10000 men to aid in the
work. If this be done, the struggle of
the Cubans, which has been prolonged
to nearly three years, must soon ter
inmate.

VALUABLE WITNEss.-A young girl in
a Western State was summoned in a
certain case which came up in court the
other day, wherein a verbal contract
was the point at issue. The girl was
the only witness to the contract, and it
was supposed her evidence would settle
the whole difficulty. Finally, she was
called to the witness stand, and upon
being asked if she was present and
heard the contract made, she replied in
the affirmative. Upon being asked to
relate what was said. she replied that
for the life of her she could not tell, as
the contract was made in German, of
which language she did not un.
derstand a single word. The defense
was allowed to cross-examine the wit

CATTLE SUPPLY IN THE EAsT.-Accord-
ing to q writer in the st. Louis RspubH-
can, the census returns show a regular
decrease in the meat supply in States
east of the Mississippi. The writer as.
serts that a careful examination of the
statistics of the Census Bureau shows
that in every one hundred people in
this country there should be eighty neat
cattle. According to this rule Massa-
chusetts had less than one half the
requisite number of neat cattle in 1920.
less than one third in 1850, and less
than one fourth the number of cattle
required for the support of her popula-
ton in 1860. The deficiency in beef,
butter and cheese must consequently
be made up by importations. New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Della.
ware, Maryland, and Virginia all fall
below the ratio of so per cent. to their
population, and must import the de.
ficiency-20 per cent.-annuallv.

RECONSTRUCTION OF THE GERMAN NAVY.
The Europsan mails received by the
steamer Deutchland recently, bring in
formation Of great additions to be made
to the German navy. Besides the three
turret-ships, two of which are TO be built
at the royal docks at Kiel, and one
probably by the Stettin Company seven
corvettes are to be constructed at Dant-
zic. Of these, four are to be of the size
of the Ariadne, and two of that of the
Albatross. The seventh corvette, to be
built at Dantzic. is the Louise. In con-
nection with this, appears a letter in the
London Daily Ne,CS, of July 10. from a
writer who has had an official introduce
ton while in Germany. He says :
" Every ship in the German ser vice
even the smallest gunboat, is provided,
with detailed drawings and sections of
every ioreign war ship. Its weak points
are specially stated, and details are
given as to the spots to be arrived at
with the most likelihood Of disabling
the machinery. Every ship possesses
accurate and detailed charts of the naval
ports of the world, and the examination
to which officers are subjected on this,
as on other topics, insures their &C.
quaintance with them Germany does
not want for naval officers. Her lack is
of fleet and and a seaboard The So
luton of the fleet problem IS simple, if
costly. The consideration of the other
matter involves questions into which
do not feel called upon to enter"

"SAcRED' MusIcIANs.-W.ien musi.
clans in Massachusetts want to give a

" sacred" and then sing or fiddle what
they please. The brass band of Haver.

Muslin dresses are more expensive
for summer wear than silks, as they
have to be washed frequently, now that
the fashion is to wear them long. and a
laundress thinks nothing of charging
from six to eight dollars for doing up
one of the beflounced and beruffled
morning dresses which are so becoming
and so pretty.

Trouble Between an American Consul.
General and the Missionaries.

Col. Morgan, one of the American
officers just returned from Egypt, where
he served in the Khedive's army, states
that there is no foundation whatever for
the stories afloat in regard to the char
acter of Geo. r. Butler, the American
Consul-General in Egypt. "These sto-
ries," he says, "were started by the
missionaries, who are very great frauds
and have done a great deal OF harm.
Mr.. Butler always behaved as gentle
man should, and when We came there,
sent for us and said Gentlemen,
many of you are Southerners and may
think, because l am a nephew of Ben.
F. Butler, that | may seek to injure
you but let me assure you | left all my
political feeling at home, and while here
am simply an American He treated
us well. As to his seeing almees, or
dancing girls, he could not avoid seeing
them, for they swarm over Egypt thicker
than the locusts of the olden plague.
The real trouble was that these mission
aries wanted man whom Butler APP.
pointed as a Vice-Consul in some town
in upper Egypt removed, in order that
one of their own stamp might be APP
pointed. and, because Butler would not
do so, they began Safeguarding him."
A HUMAN FIEND.-David Evans, a
carpenter of the steamer Gen. Buell.,
was arrested at Cincinnati, on the Goth
charged with committing, or attempting
to commit, rape on three little girls
aged from 10 to y years. The girls
identified him after his arrest. The de-
tails, as related by the children, were
of the most shocking nature. They say
he lured them into q undergrad,
where he violated the person Of the old
est while he held the other two by their
dress to prevent their escape, and then,
with knife in hand, threatened to kill
them if they revealed anything. The
act is said to have occurred three weeks
ago, and only came to light by the
mother of the violated children discov-
ering one night, by accident the lacera
ted paris. The matter has been in the
hands of the authorities for several days,
but was kept quiet until the arrest
could be made. Evans resides here, has
an estimable family, and his friends are
greatly surprised at the revelation. He
says he knows nothing about whether
he will be able to exonerate himself
from the terrible charge, which will
doubtless soon appear.

COMMUNISTS AS EMIGRANTs. 1t appears
that the agents of certain American
American colonization schemes are en-.
deavoring to secure as many as possible
of the Communist prisoners lately re.
leased in Paris. Colorado and Lower
California are spoken of as their desti-
nation but the Government seems puz.
zled exactly where to send them. We
do not care to see many Communists
settling here but if they must come,
Alaska is just the place for them. The
temperature will be decidedly cooling
to their heated blood and If they
should happen to have an occasional
outbreak, they would not be likely to
damage anybody but themselves, and
could easily be put down.

SIR JOHN HERsCHEL, who recently
died in England, was the greatest as.
tronomer of our time, and right
worthy successor Of his distinguished
father, the discoverer of the planet
Urana, He was the first TO point out
the important fact so long ago as 1888
now fully recognized by men of sci.
ence. that the sun is the true source of
nearly all the varied and mighty forces
experienced by the earth and upon it.
He was an able writer on scientifs top.
les other than astronomy, and in his
writings possessed the exceptional
power of being able to make abstruse
subjects interesting.
