That all the woes we suffer here below
May, as a dark and hideous garment wrought
For us { wear, whether we will or no,
Be cast ASIDE, with relieving smile,

No mortal roaming but hath certain end
Though far unto the ocean spaces gray
We sail and sail, without chart for friend,
Above the sky line, faint and far away,
There looms at last the one enchanted isle,
After little while.
Oh when our cares come thronging thick and
fast
With more of anguish than the heart can
bear,
Though friends desert, and, as the needless
blast,
Even love pass 10y us with stony stare,
Let us withdraw into some ruined pile,
Or lonely forest aisle
And contemplate the neyer-ceasing change.
Whereby the processes Of God are wrought
And ro n our petty lives our souls estrange,

We feel the rest that must our cares beguile

Pale memory filings her portals free
To fairy scenes of golden light

When once the jocund hours in troops

The pilgrim form Of sorrows stoops,
And falters on his feeble staff.

And folly, hand in hand with sin,

TO mock Us with the Might Have Been
From ruined tower and shattered fame,
Regret, the solemn raven croaks,
And bat-winged messengers OF pain,
Beat the dull air with ceaseless strokes,
The fatal CULTS we blindly crossed
Again in all their woe are seen,
And phantoms of the loved and lost
Smile sadly from the Might Have Been
Close, Memory, close thy portals gay.
And DER my soul oblivion cast.
Or send dark tears to blot away
The yistas Of the bitter past
Wild, wild regrets, but all in vain,
For the sur ease We nc'er may win
Oh, specifies heritage Of pain

TIMELY TOPICS.

GENERAL GIANT supp 1rted enthu-
siastically all effort. To secure intimate
CONNER nal relations between the
United States and Mexico He had
great faith in the material progress of
our sister Republic. and wished to see
American enterprise take full adyan-
tage of its opportunity to control the
Mexican markets. A year ago he said
in an interview: IL have no doubt that
the development that will take place
in Mexi will be rs rapid in the future
as il was on our own Pacific Coast when
we first acqu red it, and want to see
the relations between that country and
ours the most cordial of any nations in
the world. II they are not so it will be
our own fault. We should do every
thing to secure the confidence of the
people of Me leo The more prosper
Gus the Mexican people are the better
pleased we shall be, and the more it
will add to our individual interests.
To General Grant was largely due the
credit for the successful negotiation of
a reciprocity reaty with Mexico That
treaty is dead ! tier, owing to the
failure of congress to give it life by
necessary legislation But there is little
reason to doubt that, on the whole, the
Grant treaty with Mexico would vastly
promote our trade in interests beyond
the Rio Grande. The matter will UNI
doubtedly be brought up for considera-
ton at the coming session of congress.
