WANT OF HUMANITY.

The extraordinary apathy which was shown by the
inhabitants OF Dover in the work OF rescuing the
susvvors Of the disaster is strongly condemned The
English tug Palmerston, which was close to the
wreck, failed to attempt rescue, preferrlng the
chance OF salvage from the Francona to the work OF
saving human life. Nearly all the people on board
could have been saved had the PalmerstOn gone to
the rescue and assisted the iuggers.

When the mists have rolled In splendor
From the beauty Of the hills.
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in kisses on the rils,
We may read loves shining letter
In the rainbow Of the spray
We shall know each other better,
When the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Neyermore to walk alone,
In the dawning Of the morning, ~
When the mists have clsascd away.
If We err in human blindness,
And forset that We are dust
II we miss the Law Of kindness,
When we struggle to be just
Snowy wings Of peace shall cover
All the pain that clouds our day,
When ths. weary watch Il over
And the mists hav Q cared away.
We shall know as We are known.
Nevermore to walk alone,
In thu dawning of III morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
when the silver mists have yelled Us
From the faees of our ewn.
Oft we deem their love has failed us,
And We trad our path alone
We should see them near and truly,
We shauld trust them day by day,
Neither love or blame unduly,
II the mists were cleared away,
We shall know as we are known,
Neverinore to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the mists have risen above,
As our Father knows His own,
Face to face with those that love US,
We shall know as W. are known;
Love, beyond the orient meadows,
Floats the golden fringe of dav;
Heart to heart we hide the shadows,
Till the mists have CLEARED away,
We shall know as we are known,
Nevermore to walk alone.
When the Day of Light is dawning,
Aud III mists have cleared away.
