The sunrise waits behind heavens gates,
Enclosed of tagging morning.;
In shadows slow the world below
Fore-greets it, self-adorning.
The sweet song bird is rising heard,
The cold, gray light is growing,
To herald still on every hill
the red suns royal flowing
The still, dark night ~foresees the light
Before her heat she lends us;
And, waning far, the dS indling's star
Its mystic message sends US.
In growing pride of prospect wide
The ornament uncloses;
And wakes to bless with STOPPING kiss
The petals of the roses,
The watch dogs sleep, serene and deep,
Breaks on the morniug's breaking,
And pilloWed head that Knocked the dead
From dream to work is waking.
The SOM of toll in earth's turmoil,
Come forth ere day 10 labor;
Aud lazy wealth outsleeps his health,
To compensate his neishbor.
Tae world of sound springs up around
In murmurs waxfog ever:
And wearied men are armed again,
To face the long endeavor.
We know not, we, what this may be,
The mystery of ages.
Which day by day writes lives ava
On unremembered pages.
But calm, at least, they watch the East
For victory or disaster,
Who firmly hold the best the old,
And faith alone the Master.

One of the few merilorious things done BY

the law enacted in 1879, which provided that
property sold under mortgage should he ap-

trary enactment has already directed capital
to our borders, and tine representative of an
Eogiish syndicate is here now neg Dtiating
loans at eight per can't, one and one-half per

Thus we have money brought 10 US at a frsc-
ton less than ten per cent. per anDum.

LIVELY DEBATE IN THE COMMONS.
There was a lively discussion in the Com

Shaw, British missionary in Madagascar,
held IN custody by the French. Gladstone
warmly declared that he had reason 10 be-
lieve that there had been al excess of jurls-
dictiou exercised by the French. The arrest
of Shaw, he said. was certainly a serious
matter, and it would be the absolute duty of
the government carefully 10 watch events in
Madagascar. He was unable TO cav when
and where the court-msriial of Shaw would
be held. A discussion OF the sfi air was cal
oulated 10 impair the good will and amity
existing between England and France. This
remark YVES received with cheers.1 Con.
tinuipg, Gladstone said there was no rea-
son 10 presume that a friendly and
civilized government would lack the e'e.
mentsry priciple of justice toward impris-
oned foreign subjects. He was not aware
that Admiral Pierre had thrice refused to
allow Mrs. Shaw 10 see her husband, nolwitk-
standing she had been absent from him two
years. He said he would inquire further in
the matter. Notice was given of questions
to be submitted Tomorrow 10 connection
