The eye Of the Sage, and the heart OF the Brave

That withers away to let others succeed:
So the multitude comes eTen those VIC penolot
To repeat every tale that has often been told.
For we are the same that our fathers nave peen
We see the same sights tlat our fathers nave seen
We drink the same stream we see the same sun.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-The Times to-day in an

cludcs as follows: Il ''Although the Porte has

bic, and Turkey will, indeed, have begun new
chapter of her history II she should resist their
united counscls. Her unbending attitude d-
most warrants the suspicion that to save
her own dignity in the presence OF her
yassals, she is waiting for the pressure Of these
Powers which, as they protest, must also COM
maud. It would be gratifying to think that IN
such crisis the temper Of our own Foreign
Office is firm enough and its purposes suih-
GENTLY decided to be truly representative OF the
