My hair is growing gray
With the frost Of sorrows years;
My cheek is sad and pale
With waiting so in tears.
The sun will Ii.e and set,
The moon her course will run,
The shadows Ieng,hen out
AT days declining sun.
Upon the altar of the heart
Incense of love will burn,
For him whose homeward steps
Never more will turn.
For DER the mystic river,
Where the waters are dark and wide,
The boat nan has carried my love.
To his home beyond the tide.
In sorrow I sit and weep.
On the shores Of that swelling tide,
With the refrain OF hearts sad wsiling
To be borne o er the waters wide
The toatman has promised to come
For me in the autumn Of life,
To gather and garner the leaves,
Pure from all earthly strife.
No more will my sad lament
Be heard on the evening air,
For Jesus, who loveih me well,
Will give me a home "Over There"

he had fortified himself against any possible

Hendricks admitted that the committee had

orders to obstruct the passage of the Ameri-

BERLIN, June 25-The sitting OF the congress
yesterday lasted three hours, and was very
animated during the discussion Of the condf-
tions for the appointment of comm ission TO
regulate the Balkan frontier Count Scholl-
valoff intimated that Russia would insist
upon O. prolonged occupation Of Southern
Bulgaria.
This was vigorously opposed by the British
and Austrian representatives. Subsequently
Count Schouvalof proposed several amend
ments to the terms agreed upon Saturday,
regarding the limitation Of Bulgaria; but
Beaconsfield still strenuously objected, and
threatened to withdraw from the congress II
Englands demands were unsatisfied. It was
finally decided to allow the Russians nine
months from the signature of q definite treaty
to withdraw from eastern Roumania and Bull
garia.
LONDON, June 25.-Dispatches from Berlin
give graphic descriptions Of scenes in the
congress during the long session yesterday.
Prince Bismarck sought to play the part Of
drassy and Earl Beaconsfeld were each much
In earnest, and at one time intimated to the
Chancellor that he had better let them fight if
out alone. Earl Beaconsfield is said to have
made some very bold speeches and almost
audaCiOus declarations.
The concessions finally made by Russia that
she should withdraw all her troops from
Southern Bulgaria and Eastern Roumania
within nine months after signing the treaty,
is received here with great satisfaction by the
ministerial party. And it Is pointed out that
Russia has fought for nothing and has been
so crippled in men and in money that she
will have no stomach for further fighting dur.
ing the next twenty years.

were instigated by impecunious debtors. The
mob was ferocions and infiamed to madness
by stories invented by the instigators of the
mob relating to the long-exploded supersti-
tion that the Jews performed unholy rites at
their feast of the Passover.
The mob took possession Of the town,
broke into and rified shops and dwellings, OF
the Jews, maltreated the women, killed eight
or ten men who attempted to defend the
honor OF their wives, beat and wounded
scores of others, forced open the doors of two

the scrolls of the law and fired the buildings
A letter from Kalsch says the appearance

themselves from observation, and dead
bodies lying as yet unburied In the streets or
in the yards OF their destroyed houses, are
