The Paris Temps, in an article on the
Egyptian question, maintains that the
British expedition will benefit France
even more than England, and continues:
ssThe awakening OF the power Of
England proves that Europe is not
reduced to the leadership OF one power
Germany. This circumstance will
benefit none 80 much as France, which
is the natural ally of England. By
separating from her we afford an oppor-
tunity to Germany, whose omnipotence
can only be opposed by an Anglo-French
alliance" De Lesseps, speaking to a
deputation OF friends, said he had been
described as the enemy of England and

The March of the Years.

The March of the Years.
Tramp, tramp, tramp,
lis the deep, low tread of the years:
And who may tell Of the load they bear,
Whether Of sorrow grief, or care,
whether of joys or tears
Or whether life's clouds will roll away
Meath the touch of the coming years?
Tramp. tramp, tramp,
Down the mystical vale of time;
And shadowy spectres, old and gray
That stand and wall in the years swift way.
Step into their place in the line
And, whether to us Joy or tears.
The years give never sign.
Tramp. tramp, tramp,
How swiftly they come and go!
We feel but q touch of the summers breath,
Ere its roses wther and fall in death,
And white lies the winters snow:
Then vainly we sigh DER Hopes bright dreams
That have gone with the long ago.
Tramp tramp, tramp.
Like shadowy forms OF the night,
We see them comng-a long. dim line
And we tremble and shrek in fright,
For we know not whether they bring lifes
clouds,
Or whether they bring the light.
For the Father has wiled 1t thus,
That mortals never 'ay know
Whether there lies in the future years
A grave of hope to be wet with tears,
A palace of JOY or woe;
Lest feet should falter and hearts grow faint
He knew 1t was better.so.
