THE CITY BY rHE SEA.


Somewhere an ancient city stands,
beautiful city by the sea,
And moss-grown gables seem to frOwn
From the pointed roofs Of the houses brown
That line the streets Of this quaint old town,
OF that city by the sea.
Never a sound VI clamorous strife
Disturbs this city by the sea
But calm and sweet IS the tranquil day.
The white sails ride on the moonlit bay
Or slip their moorings and float away
From this city by the sea
Sometimes at eve, when the tide goes out
troop Of children, glad and free,
GambOl and shout, a merry band
Or over the shining sea-wet sand
Go two young lovers, hand In hand,
Prom this city by the sea.
Often and often / sit and think
OF this beautiful city by the sea,
Til see the flush Of the crimson sky
And the youthful lovers fond and shv
And The snoW-whito sails as the ships e. hy
Past this city by the sea
Is IL picture-or dream
Whose haunting memories come to mo2
or did somewhere, long ago,
Pace the shining sands when the tide was low
Hear the murmurous sea-waves ebb and flow
Did see the crimson sunsets glow,
And watch the white sails come and 70
Pact this city by the sea

TnE EAGER SERvIcE.-The description
of work which a man performs will depend
very much on the master whom he serves
but the amount and quality of that work
in which he does it. The master may be
eager, willing mind, little work may be done,
and that little may not be well done. This
is the glory of the gospel II not only invites
you to be the disciple of a Saviour whose
requirements are as worthy Of your most
strenuous obedience as lac is Himself worthy

No Young Statesmen.

|. The recent agitation in England for the
choice of liberal leader in the House of Com
mons 10 succeed Mr. Gladstone has brought
out the same fact which has attracted some
attention here namely, the strange deficiency
of promising young men in public life. 1t
is said that there are at present in the House
of Commons very few men of note below
the rank Of cabinet or ex-cabinet ministers,
and of these scarcely any under the age of
forty-fye. The same complaint is made in
Congress while Gov. Tilden of New York
has recently stated that he and lloratio Sey
mour, in recent conference, had TO bemoan
the fact that there was hardly democrat
of first rate talent in that great state under
the age of fifty. The asseyeration of MIR.
James T. Fields as to scarcity of able grad
yates of twenty years standing is of still
wider scope, because it applies to distinction
of all kinds, scientific, literary and profes-
sional, as well as political. Although there
are Obvious exceptions to these sweeping dec
larations, yet none will question that the
latter are at least, as they say of novels, "ioun
ded on fact" The reason probably relates TO
the eyer-increasing necessityo OF more learning
ON the part of young men before they can
take the relative position of theirpredecessors,
owing 10 the higher standard OF excellence
now imposed, Perhaps, also, marked talent
comes in separate eras, SO that we are just now
between two. Finally, perhaps the world is
TO be carried ON henceforth rather by the
general developement Of the masses than by
| individuals standing out in the prominence
which was only possible in former times.

LIKE most garments, like most carpets,
every thing has a right side aud a wrong
side. You can take any joy, and by turning
it around find troubles ON the other side
or you may take the greatest trouble, and
by turning it around find joys ON the other
side. The gloomiest mountain never casts
a shadow ON both sides at once, nor does
the greatest Of life's oalamities.

Inauguration of the Jackson
Statue.

The formal Inauguration of the statue
by Foley of General Thos. j. Jackson
took place at Richmond on Tuesday.
Prayer was offered by Bishop Dagget,
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
after which Governor Kemper made an
address and introduced Rev. DR.. Moses
d. lIoge, Of the Presbyterian Church,
the orator of the day. DR.. Hoge, after
alluding to the memories suggested by
the occasion, di~cussed what he con-
sidered the three elements of Jackson's
power and influence: First, that he
was the incarnation of those heroic
qualities which fit their possessor to
lead and command men, and therefore
always attract the admiration, kindle
the Imagination and arouse the euthu-.
siasm of the people; second, that he
was the greatness which comes without
being sought for its own sake, the ur-
conscious greatness which results from
self sacrifice and supreme devotion to
duty; third, the purity and elevation
OF his character as a servant of God. In
concluding his Grafton DR., Hoge allud-
cd to the condition of the country, and
said that the soldiers parole was a sa-
NASt ehiHS, uu0 tuc lOllOWeTS VI olOUe-
wall Jackson would be true to their
parole and to the Union, but at the same
time, he added, that Union can only
command their hearts love when it
returns to those great fundamental
principles of the constitution which
give to all of the States equal rights
with Massachusetts and New York.
AS he concluded the oration the statue
was unveiled amid the cheers of the
multitude the firing of musketry and
the booming of artillery. Among the
incidents which followed the unveiling
was the introduction to the vast assem-
blage, by General Page, of Norfolk,
OF a little girl of thirteen, only child
'of General Jackson, who had attended
the Inauguration with her mother. Her
presence was received with deafening
and continued cheers. The ceremonies
were here concluded with the sing
ing of Luther's Hymn, "a Strong For
tress is Our Cod" by the singing soci-
cites, accompanied by the combined
bands in the procession. AT nightfall
the city was illuminated, and there
was disply of fireworks iu Capitol
Square.

Il Lesson from Richmond, IN

One great lesson the celebration on
Tuesday at Richmond in honor of Stone
wall jackson most eloquently teaches, q
lesson richly worth needing not by Vir-
ginia only, nor by the North only, but
by the whole American people.
10 foreign States, and even to the
sympathizing Englishmen, bone, after
all. OF our bone, and flesh of our flesh,
who caused this statue just set up in the
lirglnian capital to be made and ten
dered to the "Old Domirion," it will
doubtless seem wonderful thing that
ten short years only after the close of
the most tremendous civil war of mod
ern times, the vanquished in that war
can quietly assemble and meet together
to commemorate one Of their most illus
trlous leaders without displaying the
least tincture of bitterness or of hostili-
ty against the victors. A still more
wonderful thing will it seem to them
that the vlctors themselves can not only
look with complacency upon this solemn
festival of the followers of a cause for
ever lost, but actually unite with the'-
toemen OF ten years ago in paying the
most frank, outspoken homage not to
the personal virtues only and the mill
tary abilities of this fallen chieftain, but
to his merits as patriot and to bis ex-
ample in the discharge of the high du-
ties which he believed himself to owe to
the commonwealth CT his birth. The
dsbanding of the colossal armies of the
I MON, followed as it was by the imme-
date melting away of that vast cloud of
war into the peaceful light of common
life, has been hitherto regarded as the
most astounding and unexampled phe-
nomenon offered by free America to the
contemplation of mankind. The spec
taele which Richmond witnessed on last
Tuesday, and the subsequent attitude
towards that spectacle of all thoughtful
and candid Americans the whole coun-
try over. will be viewed, we are sure,
with still deeper amazement. 1t is not
too much to say that nothing distantly
approaching it has ever been witnessed
before in any country in the world 4
