Sunset at Interlaken
BY ]. L. sTJDDARD.

BY J. L. srODDARD.
The sun is low;
Yon peak OF snow
Is purplinR with the sunset glow;
The rosy light
Makes richly bright
The Jungfrau's veil Of snowy white.
From wales that sleep
Nights shadow creep.
t. take possession OF the steep;
While. as they rise,
The western skies
Seem loath to leave so fair prize.
The light of day
And round that pearly summit play
How fair a sight,
YOn plain of light,
Cont snded for by day and night
Now fainter shines,
The luStrous height which he resigns;
The shadows gain
tn illumined plain
The Jungfrau pales, as II In pam.
Though daylight dies,
Seem giiitsring with thousand eyes, M
Which watch with grace.
From depth of space.
The sleeping Jungfrau's lovely face.
But when is born
The ruddy dawn,
Forernnner OF the coming morn,
Along the skies
IL quickly flies
To kiss the Jungfrau's opening eyes.
The rosy blush
And timid flush.
Which then o'er brow and face do rush,
Are pure and fair
Beyond compare,
Resplendent in tn illumined air
And thus Away,
BY night aud day,
Her varying suitors homage pay;
Aud tnged with rose,
or white with SHOWS,
The same fair radiant form she shows.

rrInce Bismarck's motive 10 establishing close
relations with the moderate liberals seems to be
wish to form strong majority for the support of
his financial political projects.
1t being doubtful whether an increase of direct
taxes would be polite, Bismarck, contrary to the
recognized financial programme of the liberals,
intends to resort to indirect imports. especially q
heavy tobacco duty and excise. Probably other
motives are connected with the cabinet changes
