THE birth OF A NEW SONG.
God smiled upon us from his beamiug skies
As sn!led the flowers by our glad feet
pressed
The robin listened to our low replies
Then sang them to bis mate upon her aest.
She wondering heard his marvellous new
song
The spirit of our words was strangely
sweet,
Then sang them TO her nesting. Was it
wrong
II in oar souls they wrought 10y COM

There IS no wrong that finds an echo there
In God and nature. So we smile TO see
Upon thus earth as In the heavenly blue
Our thoughts attuned TO sweetest aymphony.

THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS ON Our RELA-
TIoNs WITH SPAIN.-According to the Wash
ington Republican, ''the President is free in
his utterances concerning his duty in this
matter, and only yesterday said that the
government will take care that the ma
tional flag shall be everywhere respected, and
American citizens everywhere protected in all
their rights According to the Washington
Chronicle, ''the President entertains the hope
that by the time Congress assemblies definite
result will be reached, and he expects a peace
able settlement of our Cuban troubles, but
thinks it best to be preparedto protect the
American flag and citizens at all hazards. And
II war becomes necessary we shall be better
prepared for it than many suppose" These
reports from the Washington journals are es-
sentially the same as those that have hereto
fore been published in the Herald, concerning
the Presidents views on our relations with
Spain and Cuba. The President, tits evident
strongly sympathizes with the overwhelming
public sentiment Of the country; but does Mr..
Secretary Fish appreciate the duties and the
opportunities of the situati on? That is the en-
barrassing question.

hitherto unknown land. It will be seen that
while Spanish tyranny was prosecuting our
agent in Cuba, Russian jealousy was throwing
obstacles in the way of our correspondents
progress in Khiva This gentleman was the
only correspondent of any journal in Europe
or America who accompanied the Russian
column. We attribute it to his tact and en-
ergy. and perhaps to that good fortune which
rarely abandons courage, that he was not sent
back from the banks of the Oxus to the Euro
pean frontier of Russia under the guard Of
squadron Of Cossacks.

THE Duty OF THE ALDERMEN. The Board
Of Aldermen meet to-day to pass upon the
appropriations for 1874. They will find that
the salaries Of the Finance Department have
been increased 1000 over 1873 AT the
same time the contingency fund for the
Finance Department this year is 500, 900,
while last year it was $3.50, 000-an
increase of s450,0O0. Every dollar Of this
can be spent by the Comptroller
for such services as those embraced
IN the vouchers recently unearthed
from the contingencies and Board of Audit
FUNDS AT time like the present, when the
poor iaborers of the city are likely to starve
and freeze for the want of work, it is the duty
OF the Aldermen to cut down these extrava-
CANT and unwarrantable expenses.
