Fitting Away.

I'm longing no sadly, Pm longing
For the flowers that blossomed and fled,
For the hopes that about me are throng-
ing,
That alas are all withered and dead.
Beauties I thought ne'cr would perish,
One by one vanished away;
There is nothing on earth that wo cher
ish
That is lovely and true, that will stay.
There are eyes that with brightness were
beaming,
There ara lips that our own often met.
That the mold Of the grave is now dim
ming,
That In silence unbroken nrc set.
Sadly we long for the greeting,
Tender and true had they proved;
Oh the hearts soonest hushed in their
beating
Are the ones most tenderly loved,
'Tis the joys we most prize that are
deepest,
And that quickest creep out from the
heart,
As perfumes that are richest and sweet
est,
Are the earliest ones to depart.
Tints that Of all were the rarest,
Fade while upon them We gaze,
And tho hours that are brightest and
faircst
Soon are hid with the lost yesterdays
Far away where tho summers are sleep
ing,
Arc tho beautiful dreams Of the past
And our eyes have grown weary OF
weeping
Der the pleasures wc fancied might
last.
Lovingly, longingly signing,
Over their ashes we ait,
While the roses around us are dying,
And the moments so speedily fit

Frances Gigantic Scheme.

France is affording fresh proof that
she is one of the most wonderful nations
OH the face of the earth. The disasters
of the Franco Prussian war, and the
payment of five milliards of francs as
the further penalty for entering upon
that war, would have crippled an ordi-
nary nation. But France is not an ordi-
nary one, and he result is that she has
not only cast off her burden, but con.
templates an outlay in internal improve
ments such rs the most prosperous
country could alone entertain. 1t will
be remembered that M. de Freycinet
the new prime minister of France, be.
fore leaving his old department, drew
up an elaborate report embodying 81
gantic scheme for the creation, extern
sion and union of railways and canals
throughout the country. The estimated
cost of these improvements is nine mil
lizards Of francs or $500, 900, 600; but
France is not deferred thereby, and in
twelve years the scheme is to be worked
out in its entirety. Already France is
noted for the completeness of her rail-
way system, which, with her rivers and
canals, afford means of communica-
ton apparently leaving little to be de-
sired; but she is impressed with the
belief that improvement is possible, and
she is going add l6,00e miles to her rail
ways, and 900 miles to her rivers and
canals. This fresh burst of enterprise
on the part of France can have but one
effect, and that is increased prosperity
in the great industries already stirred
into activity by the demands of India.
