EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE.

What is the secret the ages unfold
change. tbe Immortal delight of creation,
Chanse, the good angel that slayeth stagnation,
Briuhtens the world with incesssnt mutation;
This Is the thought the rock manuscripts hold.
Follow we ever, Change, thy command
Angel thou art, though We shuddsr to greet thee,
When from loved scenes We are summoned To NEE
thee,
When the pale lips Of our loved one repeat thee;
Rich are thy blessings, though heavy thy hand.
Change is the law God has made for the world;
Change its the incense of Natures devotion;
Change it's the full choral chant Of the ocean;
Rest is but change from the turmoil OF motion;
Change IS the law God has laid on the world.

How aarnbetta Lost HIS Eye.

This New York Herald, In its sketch
OF Ganbetta's life, has the following:
1.-THE Gambetta family, imbued with all
the superstitious religious fervor for
which the lower Glasses Of French and
Italians Ars celebrated, decided that
Their son Should not DO brought'up to a
commercial life, but educated 10 the
priesthood. So young Leon Gambetta
was sent to the parish school to learn
his letters and prepare to enter the sem
mary of Moptsuhan. Before, however.
this important epoch in his life was
reached the child met with m accident
which was destined to entirely modify
his character and temperament and to
exert the greatest Influence over the
whole tenor Of his life. One day, when
only eight years old, while looking at a
cutler boring holes in the handle of 0
knife with q drill fastened to an old
broken foil by piece Of catgut, this
rude machine gave way by reason Of toe
great tension, and the broken foil struck
the right eye Of the child with greai
force, perforating the cornea. These
are the real facts Of the case; and the
tale told about young Gambetta putting
ont his right eye voluntarily with pen
knife, il order to be removed from thu
seminary which he ahhorred, ia entirely
fiction"
