Summers going: Summers going'
Nature sings in saddened to2e.
Soon will Autun,n$ sobbing bseezes
Watt Ger leaves their requscn-nosn.
Soon the flowers vii! droop and wither,
Pining for the Suns warm ray;
And tho EaEth's sweet songsters speed them
To a softer cline away.
Then will icy winds OF Winter
FctteE fast the forcst-stream;
And the snow, In all its whiteucss,
Soon around US coldly CLEAN.
But then, when Springs soft rain-drops fall,
The snow will disappear;
Well list again the br0oklct's voice,
And birds sweet music hear.
The Sun his warmcst rays will beam,
And wake anew the flowers;
And Earth with sircn-lay$ will hail
Sweet Summers glldsome hours.
Souls are losing, sonla arc losing,
Fairest beauties day BY day;
Winds Of SIN come sweeping o'cr them,
. Bearing Truths green leaves away.
Flowers Of V1ftuc droop and wither-
Pine they all for Lovc's warm ray;
Dim tho lamp Of Faith is burning
Hopes sweet sonestcfs speed away.
Dark Dcsp1i1, with icy fingers,
Tightly grasps the shrinking soul; :
All that's gooa, and all that's noble, "
Far OF, slowly, surely, roll.
But then Gods grace, like Springs soft rains,
Soun mclts the ice bound heart,
And bids sweet Hope chime forth again,
And dread Despair depart.
The flowers Of Virtue raise their heads,
To greet the Sun Of Love-:
The lamp Of Faith beams out once more,
Lit by the Hand above;
The soul pouts forth g'adsomc strain.
IT'S echoed cen on high:
Sing. happy soui! sins Oh for aye!
Thy summertime is nigh.

We have from correspondents curious bit oi
information about tile young Commandcr-iu-
Chief OF the Egyptian contingent on the
Danube Though but 81 years old. Prince Has
san, son Of the khedire, is an experienced
soldier, and has already had his share OF llaps
ul'd inlsIaps, The young Prince received his
military education at WoolSch amt Berlin,
after which he occupied the Office OF Minister OF
Warto his father. During tho late war with
Alyssinia he was seriously wounded and nat!e
prisoner. Although treated with great con-
sdcrtion, King John, to punish him. as lie
expressed it, ''1or fighting against Christ
ians," ordered that a large cross should
be tattOocd on The back OF each ri the
Princes banls. This was doue; and wcu
his wounds were healed the young officer was
released and returned 10 Cairo. Arrived ut
home, Prince Hussan consulted the best
European as well as native physicians and
chemists and Copt spotltsaycrs, promising
large sim TO any one who should rid him Of
these mementocs OF the AbYssnan King. All
vice was freely offered and experiments tried
The FRINGE underwent much suffering, hut all
ln rain-the Christian crosses we're iudetib]c
In despair he finally tcsorted to Dcyyis!1 for
advice, and the holy man communicated a
remedy which at least: had the merit OF being
umeniably ctlcacious. t'Chop OF both thy
hands, lie said tn the PRINCE; ''bettcf live
without hands than wear for ever these signs .,f
the inidcl :riaours:" But Hassan relisilcl it
but little, aud so remains to this day tattooed
with the hateful symbols. This is Why no one
ever sees him without gloves.
