The End Of the Year.

A candle in its socket lying,
Pickering, fading, frightening, dying :
The autumn leaf fast rustling by, %
A strain Of music's latest sigh, .J
The summer winds last, failing breath
A mournful tone which tells Of death
A fire whose embsrs scarce are burning
A spirit to it's God returning;
A sun extinguished from its place,
A system yanishing In space .1-
Thus all things end save God !'rrart
Thus all things end ah! said We 90 2 -
Can aught have end that lives below ?
Is nothingness the end Of stife2q c7'
And void the browning point Of life
Annihilation is there aught ..--
Save madness in the rnonstrous thought?
We boldly say q thing is ending
We mean some change is DER it pending;
For matter changed, and changed must be
Forever, like some changing sea ;ab i.ng
Thus all taings change save God |! ~
The year is ending, quickly flying, s'1
Yet lingering still among ms, dying; sa
With faltering footsteps, failing fast, II
a few more days and then the last.
His books are closed each broken VOW
Recorded there against us now, '.''
In fearful sameness there muststay:
Each thought, cash scene, now passed awi
Aye, past and ended though they be. III
The end Of all things we shall see; ;.,,--I
But that end is not yet. g.
Where goes the candle when it dies2 II
The leaf, the music, summers sighs2 ga.
A finish d thought, world, . death, :
Where isthe home of parted breath?
Where goes year, an age, nay, thine =,
Where is the end, the great sublime2 -
All, all but center round their Bang, 30
The Great, Omnipotent, All-seeing .rsa-,3
Unending, and unchanged forever 1i,
In vain the end from Him we sever ,r
All ends are hid in God!

Cold WINTERS. The coolest winters
on record in the United States within
the past one hundred years were those
of 1850, 1886 and 1856. In 1880 the
Delaware river, bay of New York and
Long Island sound were so completely ice
bound as to be crossed with horses and
sleighs. The coldest year WAS that OF
1916, in which there was ies in every

GRANT AND THE wHIsKEY RIN0.
Lightning Playing Around the Head OF the
Mhito House sphinx.

WASHINGTON, April H.-lt was definitely
and positively stated to-day that in searching
for evidence against the whiskey Ring in st.
Louis, Secretaey Drstow came into possession
OF evidence Of a character which conclusively
shows that President Grant, whilo protecting
Mcdonald by falling to take notice Of the re-
peated warnings sent bin, accepted presents
from the Ring, and had positively received sums
Of money from parties who had been accused OF
not performing their duties faithfully. II is
also known that Immediately after Collector
Ford sent Grant the letter in November 1879,
warning him against Mcdonald. that tho latter,
knowing undoubtedly from Dabcock the charge
made against him by Ford, came TO Washington
and drove the President all over the city In n
buggy. This was done to prove to the distilors
Of 81. Louis that they had nothing 70 fear from
enemies In St. Louis. This utter defiance Of tho
warnings and plottings against the Ring cmbol1-
ened Mcdonald, and the question Is now asked,
" Is there no way to reach Grantf" Avery has
been sent to the penitontiary for helping those
whom he knew were engaged In dcfraudinR the
revenue, and he did not hesitate to act rs he
did, because he knew Joyce and Mcdonald wero
on the most familiar terms with the President,
Babcock, and Luckey. He refused to admit his
guilt to Dristow, having been told by baDcock to
stand flrm and Bristow would be removed. The
lightning is bound to strike the sphinx In tho
White House.

Conflicting Reports from samoa X HumOred
Deposition of King Nialinto.

SAN Francisco, April 1.-THE accounts
concerning Steinbergers troubles In samoa are
very conflicting. Additional private letters re-
ceiyed by the Ada May, and statements OF pas
sengers by that vessel, to the effect that the
people and the Legislature, after 5teinbereer's
arrest, deposed King Maliato, banshed hip to a
neighboring island, and demanded Steinberger's 8
release. This was refused. and the British man
of-war Barracuda brought the King back to the
capital but the people declined to acknowledge
him
II is reported that the people earnestly desired
the release Of the Premier. and we're an xiously

property Of SteinberVer had been sold, the prin-
cipal purchasers being the officers Of the Blrra-
couta. The.steam launch presented To the Gov
ernment OF Samoa by the United States was In
cluded In the lie.
1t is asserted also that the English residents
Of the islands desire the annexation OF Samoa as
a colony. which will be ACCOMPLISHED II the
United States do not interfere. and that Foster
