THE IRONY OF FATE.

There is in the condition of the new
emperor of Germany that which must
arouse the sympathy of the whole civ.
iliZed world, not because he is the ruler
Of the greatest empire, comprising "a peo-
pie of high intelligence, or the com
nander Of the finest army in Europe, but
because he has borne himself in his great
affection as o hero, with patience and
equanimity. Called to a high RESPONSE
bility, his first act was to address a mani
festo 10 the German people, in which he
assured them that his ambition was TO
preserve peace and promote their vel
fare. As if realizing that all human
glory must come, at last, to nought, he
says finally: Careless OF splendor and
glorious achievement. | shall be content
if it can hereafter be said Of my govern
ment that it has been beneficial TO my
people, useful to my country, and = bless
ing to my empire" This is not the
language of a man Of blood and iron"
rs Bismarck is. but of one chastcned and
subdued by a great affection, yet u
ageous and faithful to the highestdictates
humanity.
1t seems like the mOckery of fact that
enc SO well fitted to be the head OF an
Empire like Germany, so ~peaceably dis
posed, and almost Democratic ia his in
linations and disposition, should rest
snder the shadow Of death. HIS demise
would be a greater ca.amity To the Ger
man people than the passing away of the
aged emperor. For the sake of peace
which Emperor Frederick declares he
will maintain; for the sake OF the pros
perity of the Empire, it is TO be hoped
that he will live TO carry out the reforms
he proposes.
