classical a. that of MT SchurZ, on the same side
Of the currency subject, 1t was more homely,
puDgent and clear. All in all, 1t was the best
speech heard from the Pacific side since Senator
Baker lived amongst as. But q few months ago
the newspapers were filled with denuncistions
to get to the Senate. The allegation is proba-
bly, founded on the fact that he is very rich. If
public man were to live like Christ, now a
days, and proved that while the foxes had holes
and the birds of the air had nests, he had no
place to lay his head, they would attack him on
the subject OF his good clothes, and bring up that
old question Of pulling somebody's ear OF corn on
the Sabbath day. 1t would be better for good
many more men Of wealth to pay frankly for
their seats and 60 to the Senate to teach wis
dom, instead or insinuaring, and creeping up to
municate. 1t is pretty hard to say what the
poor have to do in the Senate at any rate. No
man who comes here already rich suffers impu

ordinately exalted position. Providence would
indicate that man should lay up something
against day OF temptation, before he makes IL
commercial point to sit in the gates amongst
the elders of the land.

Dear love, feel your face
Close, close to mine, though we are far apart,
And seas between throb like some wicked heart;

Now In, now out; some angel 1t may be,

And bright at eventide,
Those stars, which are my flames,
Your deep, deep eyes, shine Ia my lonely room,
Gliding the airy castles Of it's gloom,
And glittering on its chains.
know that you are true;
These are not baseless images l seei
Perhaps your dreams are reaching out to me,
AS my heart yearns for you.
Dream en-, though years 20 by!
Rice not, sweet heart, from the unworthy theme
Let me be ever pleading in your dream,
And you dream on for aye.
Stanley.
Stanley, the cosmopolitan traveller and cor
respondent, has for the third time distanced the
English press, and performed his work cieanly
Magdala, first from the heart OF Africa with
Livingstone, and nrst from Ashantee! These
performances seem to me to be better journal
reporter from New York down to some village
on Long Island to ascertain whether Stanley
did not owe somebody in Constantinople $500.
But 1t shines upon the just and the unjust.
The Diplemaaic Wine.
A friend Of Mr.. Sumner was asked how that
" Bon vivant" possessed such good wines. 1t
had been supposed that his wealthy Boston

sales Of foreign ministers. who received theirs
