The North american RevieaO

In the North American ReUie,o for Feb
ruary the first article IS by Cardinal Man
ming, and treats of the relations of the
relations of the Roman Catholic Church
20 modern society. The eminent author
does not undertake to discuss the broad
question of ths relations of the Chur ch
TO the State in general-whether the one
is subordinate to the other-but simply
essays TO determine "what can be and
what ought to be the relations between
the Church in the nineteenth century
aud the political society of the world In
the nineteenth century,. Cardinal Man
ming is perhaps the most uncompromis-
ing champion of Papal prerogativs In
the whole English-speaking world, and
this candid and able exposition of the
principles actuating the politico-ecclesi-
asticai practice of Rome will be read
with profit both by her friends and by
her opponents. Ex-senator Howe con-
tributes pungent article entitled, "The
Third Term" He turns to rIdicule the
fears that have been expressed by sun
dry organs of popular opinion, lest b.
elscting Gen. Grant TO third term OF Of
flee our republican institutions should bs
overturned, and "the empire" stablish-
ed. The article Is essentially an effort TO
show that in the "Springer Resolution"
adopted by the House OF Represe natives
at Washington In 1875. which denounced
departure from the precedent set by
Wa hiDgton when he declined third
term in the presidency, are comprised ga
grave Indictment of the Federal Consti-
tuition, gross libel upon Its trainers, a
base counterfeit o. our political history,
and a wanton insult to our common
sense" Rear-Admiral Daniel Ammen
makes a very effective reply to M. da
Lesseps' article on the American Inter
oceanic Canal. The advan' ages of a
canal with locks over canal a niUedu
are poirted out, aud the French engi-
neer's objections to aloo.aed canal shown
to be futile. George Augustus Sala con
tri butes an entertaining article entitled,
"Now and Then in America snow"
beipg this present year of grace and
"thenn 1868, the third year of our Civil
War, 1.-THE Emancipation Proclama-
ton" by James q. Welling, is n calm,
judicial review of the GROWING act of
President Lincoln's administration. The
considerations which forced Mr.. Lincoln
10 issue that memorable proclamation as
n measure of political expediency are
eonyincingly set forth. The author fur
thermore iearnedly discusses the legal Of
feet of the proclamation, Its constitution
ality. etc. In his OPINION the validity of
the edict was not derived from law or
constitution the act "moved above law
in Iha nlape of stateoraft !" it was coup
| d' etat and its JUST ficatioh is TO be found
in its end, which was the seiais pOpuR.

Why did he die when life seemed fair,
And no dark clouds we're near
To dim the brightness OF Our lives,
Or start the bitter tear?
We thought not, at tho close of day,
When night refled Garth ana sky,
That one 50 f,,ll Of life and hope
Would breathe last good-by.
We saw not on tho Silent Sea
The boat that ncnrca the shore;
The boatnlan pail. VIC did not hear
Dip in his muttied oar:
We only know he softly came,
And closed bis beam ing eye.
With bitter tenrs und AnEui3hed heart,
We usk, Why did he die?
No Angcl-whispcr met our cnr,
From that bright land afnr,
That there waro loved ones waiting at
The gates that stuDa aiar;
We did not hear tho rustic Of
Their garments round his bed:
We only saw his p;tliid fncc.
And knew that he WIS dead.
The Summer, with its buds and flowers,
Will their sweet fragrance shed
IN soft ,snd mournful silence
Above his lowly bed;
While we, in grief and sadness,
Will watch the days go by,
And lls!1, i'll tcarfui silence,
Alasl why did he die?
We know that Gods mysterious ways
To our frail sight arc dim;
However sharp tho pAnE may be,
We cannot question Him.
Then let US foei Hts dealings. Just;
His love let nnnc deny;
Nor ask within our humble hearts,
