From the Nashville American.
EugIand's Power in the Mcdi
terFancan.

The advantageous position OF
England with reference to the Medi-
terranean, and to her tade in Eu-
rope and the East and to her Eastern
Empire, is one of the most wonder
full monuments the genius of great
people ever erected. While Russia &,
from the days of Peter the Great,
has recognized the importance of the
Mediterranean, while Statesmen, nd
philosophical historians, have pointed
out the influence of Mediterranean
nations upon the worlds history,
the productiveness populousness, pow>
er and wealth of the peoples border
ing on that great inland sea, and
with Napolean and France have rec
ognizrd the importance of Egypt and
Constantlnople, England has quietly,
for a century past, made herself COM
plelely master of the Mediterranean.
With the fortress Of Gibraltar she
commands the entrance, with Malta
90 miles from Italy and 100 miles
from Africa, she has distributing
point for ships and troops in the very
centre Of the Mediterranean. She
possessed a large pecuniary interest
in the Suez Canal and the port of
Alden, another Gibraltar near the
southern extremity of the Red Sea,
thus completely commanding that
sea and practically the Suez Canal
leading into it. Now, she establish
as a new point of concentration,
where she can mass Indian troops
from the East, while she may use
Malta as a point Of concentration OF
English troops. From Cyprus she
commands the southern and lower !
western coast Of Asia Minor, and lies |
within easy reach of the Suez Canal. !
From the main land she is surveying |
roads to the Valley Of tue Euphratcs
and down to the Persian Gulf, crea-
ting a new and nearer route to lIdia.
Cyprus is several hundred miles from |
the mouth of the Dardanelles, but
her great navy and her close relations
with Greece enable her to command |
the outlet against any power for many |
years to come. Thus, with her pow
erful navy, great resources of men
and money and her vast commercial
marine. England is. in a Maritime,
commercial and military point of
view, complete master of the Medi-
terrauean and Of its every outlet
While in Asia Minor, she has become
n formidable rival and barrier against
Russian aggression. 1t is no wonder
that murmurs arise from the great
Mediterranean nations, Italy and
France, on account of their CONNER
cial and military interests, but it will
be a matter Of more wonder if it
amounts TO more than muir muring.

BY FATHER RYAN.

By FATHER K1ANs
But far on the deep there are billOWs
That never shall break on the beach ;
And have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech
And have had dreams in the valley,
Too lofty for language to reach.
And have seen thoughts in the valley,
All, me How my spirit was stirred
They wear holy wells on their faces,
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard
They pass down the valley like virgins,
Too pure for the touch Of o word.
10 ycu ask me the place of this valley
To hearts that are narrowed by care,
It lieth afar between mountains,
And God and His angels are there
And one is the dark mountain Of sorrow,
And one the bright mountain Of prayer
