o Winds, ye are blowing tco rough. too rough,
Thrilling and chilling too soon the hours,
And the summer has not been long enough
For all your beauty, my flowers, my flowers
Not bali, not half of long enough
For all your beauty, my dear, dear flowers
o frosts, ye are falling too soon on the leaf,
Duiling the grasses. and dimming the roves,
And the summer has been too brief, too brief,
For all your cooling, my doves, my dovesi
Too brief, the summer has been too brief,
For all your cooling and wooing, my doves
o waters, hold to your fountains fast
Nor faithless hy from the sedge-sown hooks;
And the summer has gone too fast, too fast
For all your sweetness, my brooks, my brooks
Too fast. the summer has gone, too fast
For all your ringing aud singing, my brooksl
o ciovers, clovers, keep to your red
And stick to your little leaves grey with dew /;
Too early the summer shades are fed,
For all your moaning, my insect crew
Aye, all too early, summer has fed
For all your droning, my insect crew
o wane from your roundness not fair moon,
But make the land with your brightness bright
And summer has gone too soon, too soon
For all my joy because O. tn light
Too soon, the summer has gone too soon
For all my Joy because O. th' light
All colder, closer tho shadow slides,
And leaning sunwarn the daisy stands,
Like one o'erreaching the icy tides
To catch tho touches Of loving hands
Aye reaching to catch DER the closing tides
The last warm touch of the loving hands.
And the daisy will die, and the waning moon
Will fail in the sky, and the murmurous grove
Stand hushed, and my life will be DER too soon
For all my JOY. because Of His love,
Who mado the land, and the leaves, and the
moon,
Aud all that Is fair with the light of His love.

GIRLS SHOULD LEARN To KEEP
HousE.-No young lady can be too
well instructed in anything which will
effect the comfort Of family. What
ever position in society she occupies,
she needs practical Knowledge Of
household duties. She may be placed
in such a position that il will not 30
necessary for her to perform much do
nestle labor, but on this account she
needs no less knowledge than if she
was to preside personally over the cook
ing stove and pantry. Indeed, it Is
often more difficult to direct others,
and requires more experience, than to
do the satne work with odr own hands.
Mothers are frequently 50 nice and par
ticular they do not Ike Ia give up any
part Of the care TO their children. This
is great mistake 10 their management,
for they are uften burdcned with labor
and need relief Children should be
taught early to make themselves useful,
to assist their parents every way in
their power, and TO consider It privi-
lcgc to do so.

lowing is the authentic aud rather
romantic history of the dropping and
mournfully beautiful weeping willow:
ALEX. Pope, the English poet, re-

basket Of Smyrna figs Among these
he discovered small green twig, aud
with feeling OF tenderness and curl
osity toward tho delicate germ which
had SO singularly maintained its vitality,
he planted it in his own garden at

all the weeping willows Of England aud

THE PREsBYTERIANs OF PHILADELPHIA are
wrothy at George H. Stuart for singing
hymns not set down in the established hymn
book and for accepting sacrament with per-
sons Of another sect, and have excommuni-
Gated him therefor. This Mr.. Stuart was the
President Of the Sanitary Commission during
the war, and, if we mistake not, presented to
the Presbyterians the very church from the
membership Of which they have just ousted
him. Showing faith by works is no good doc
trine with these people. If you cant be
religious to the established tune and work for
the glory of God in the prescribed key, and
break bread and drink wine in orthodox Pres
byierian company, you may go to a worse
place than Halifax for all your sanitary COM
missions and your church donations.

The ST.. DOMINGO COMMISSIONERS. judy
ing from the letters Of our correspondent on
board the Tennessee, we should say that the
st. Domingo Commission did not constitute a
happy family. Ben Wade wanted to 60 home,
and the others didn't; they had not seen
enough of the island, its people and their insu-
tutions; they wanted to interview Cabral and
remain in warm climate until the snow and
ice at home had disappeared; but Ben Wade
wouldn't. A compromise was effected, how
ever, and they went to Kingston; here the
row broke out afresh, aud 1t is plain that If
they had continued much longer together Cap
tain Temple or his marine guard would have
had to interfere to stop the slight unpleasant
ness. We ore glad that they are home at
last, that their quarrel did not become more
serious, and we hope, now that their mission
is ended, they will not permit any further cool
ness to exist between them.

some enterprising individuals hoped to get
the right from the Legislature to erect columns
on the public streets for the purpose of post
ing bills thereon, as if the various dead walls
and the new Post Office fence were not eye
sores enough in this respect, has failed sig
nally, through the watchfulness of the Gov
ernor. He had crushing veto prepared to
hurl against it, when its friends begged to
have it returned "for correction" the cor
rection most probably being the striking out of

vcrsy among democrats in the South In re-
gard to the reconstruction acts and the amend

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT celebration
yesterday was very crcditable to our colored
fellow citizens. About four thousand of them
were in line, moving with considerable mar
tial effect, notwithstanding the drizzling rain
and the incongruous appearance of peaceful
umbrellas among the warlke procession.
Among the invited guests of the company were
several distinguished colored men, including a
son of the Prince of Gaboon. A mass meet

to the Paris insurgents. Now, II still In
doubt, let him be assured from the NEW YoRK
HERALD that Germany, II called upon, will
help him with her army In the restoration Of
law and order for we have no doubt of the
substantial truth Of our commissioners re-
port. We dare say, however, that the pre-
sence and daily increasing forces of the Ger
man army within striking distance Of Paris
will of themselves give an easy victory to
M. Theirs in an armed movement upon the
city, and so we conclude the reign Of the
Jacobins is nearly ended The provinces are
loyal; the large cities of the south and north
of France have not been materially disturbed
by the Paris revolt With the suppression Of
this revolt the probability is that 1t will have
served good purpose in behalf of self-sus-
tanning restoration of order in Paris and
France.
Prince Bismarck is believer in the power
of the independent press, and, as the master
mind among the diplomats of Europe, he
knows that the independent press Of the
United States may be usefully employed
through an intelligent interviewer, even in the
shaping of European political affairs. In this
way We may recall a conversation of his with
HERALD correspondent on German matters
a year or more ago which, in going back to
Germany in our columns, there produced a
marked effect In favor of his policy Of Ger
man unity from its republication in the lead
ing German papers. From time to time
through our columns we have given the con-
versations with our special representatives of
most Of the leading statesmen of Europe on
the engrossing political events and questions
of the day; but of all those great statesmen
Prince Bismarck speaks most to the point and
the purpose. The brief report of bis views
which we give to-day on the present crisis in
France makes the solution of its complications
as simple and decisive as the settlement OF
our negro question in the fifteenth amend
ment.

REVIVAL IN CLUB BOATING. coming

different boat clubs. Bills are now before the
Senate, having already passed the House,
incorporating two of our most promising
clubs-the Nautilus and the Gramercy.

exercise of rowing. The Legislature ought

THE PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS at aero
batic exhibitions is the purpose of bill just
passed by the State Senate. 1t will throw so
many safeguards about the men and women of
the flying trapeze that it will probably divest
that style of exhibition of all its attractive
horrors 1t will make midair performances
much safer exhibitions for the trapezists, but
much unsafer investments for the managers.
