Stanley and the PhllanthrOpists.

An attempt was made at the last meet
ing in London of the Royal Geographic
cal Society to induce that body to pass
resolution of censure on Mr.. Henry M.
Stanley for his so-called unjustifable
method of dealing with the natives of
Africa" But the society refused in q
very practical way to make itself the
tool of the persons who engineer this
clamor. It may be remembered that the
grievance against Mr.. Stanley is that on
one occasion when he deemed himself ID
danger from the hostile purposes of the
savages he defended himself, and, as his
arms were more effective than those of
the Africans, they suffered severely. 1t
is the opinion of some people in London.
that the number of negroes killed on that
occasion by the explorer was unneces-
sarily large. This may be true; but, as
we have hitherto taken occasion to OBJ
serve, Mr.. Stanley was on the spot and
his London critics were not; and the
white man on the spot is the only COM
potent Judge of the exigencies of such
an occasion. It is not to be assumed
that he was more bloody In his acts than
the occasion required. It appears that
the Council of the Geographical Society
Judged the case in this light, and was
determined not to be carried out of it's
way to cast odium upon traveller who
cannot defend himself. Lord Napier, of
Magdala, Capt. Cameron, and some
others who have made excursions in
Africa, were present and gave counte
nance to this act of justice to the holder
of one of the society's gold medals.

The man who never failed is myth.
Such one never lived, and is never likely

nevertheless. If you fail now and then,

Alas! would not check.
For reasons not to love him once, 1 sought.
And wearied all my thought
To yex myself and him I now would give
My love, could he but LIVE
Who lately lived for me, and when he found
Twas vain, in holy ground
He hid his face amid the shades of death!

Who wasted his for me! but mine returns,
And this lone bosom burns
With sitting heat, heaving it up in sleep.
And waking me to weep
Tears that had melted his soft heart; for years
Wept he as bitter tears!
'Merciful God!" such was his latest prayer,
"These may she never share!'
Quieter is his breath, his breast more cold

Where children spell, athwart the churchyard gate,
His name and lifes brief date.
Pray for him, gentle souls, whoeer you be,
