WILLIAM WILRYE COLLINS.


Died September q, 1889.
/.
Oflen and often, when The days were dark
And, whether TO remember or behold,
Life was burden, and my heart, grown
With sorrow, scarce was conscious, did
marx
How from thy distant place across the sea,
Vibrant with hope and with emotion free,
Thy voice of cheer rose like the morning
And that was comfort il not joy to me-
For in the weakness of our human grief
The mind that does not break and will
not bend
Teaches Endurance as the one true friend,
! The steadta>t anchor and the sure relief
That was thy word, and what thy pre-
cept taught
Thy lite made regnant in one living
thought.
Thy vision saw the halo of romance
Round every common thing that men
behold.
Thy lucid art could turn TO precious
Like roseate notes that in the sunbeams
Whatever object met thy kindling glance !;
And in that nil ror life was never cold
A gracious warmth suffused thy sparkling
page,
And woman's passionate heart by thee
drawn
With all the glorious colors of the dawn,
Against the background of this Pagan age
Her need of love, her sacrifice, her trance
OF patient pain, her weary pilgrimage,
Thou knewest all OF grief that can be
And did-t portray all sorrows but thine
own.
Where shall turn, now that thy lips are
dumb
And night is on those eyes that loved me
well:
What other voice, across thy diving kneli,
With like triumphant notes OF power will
come:
I Alas! my ravaged heart is still and numb
With thinking OF the blank that must
remain,
Vet be 1t mine, amid these wastes Of pain.
Where all must tater and where many
sink,
To stay the loot of misery on the brink
OF dark despair, to bid blind sorrow see
Teaching that human Will breaks every
chain
When once Endurance sets the spirit
fee:
And. living thus thy perfect faith to think
am to others what thou vert to me,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The delega-
tion Of Sioux chiefs had another talk
with Commissioner Morgan to-day.
When John Grass arose to speak. the
commissioner said he desired to hear
those who did not speak at the former
council. Grass replied that he did not
speak before; he only had time allowed
him to say that he desired to speak.
Last summer, he continued, you sent
three men out to my country, and we
let them talk as much as they pleased
and we listened to them. They told us
that ii we signed the treaty we would
get the schools and oxen and wagons

promised i'll both treaties. My people
want 10 know if we are to have them

we were, and want to know about it.
Mad Bear said: You sent us three
persons to show us how to farm. They
can't talk to us: they only make mo-
tons with their hands and then go
away. We don't know what they mean.
If they would pillow, and SOW, and raise
crops we could see how they did it ana

Morgan interrupted to say: "You
should learn to understand English and
then perhaps the farmers could teach
you" Mad Bear replied: "If we had
got the schools on the reservation as
promised us in 1868 we would now
know English, but we did not get
them. We want TO learn to farm and
do like the whites, and we want schools
on the reservation so we can learn.''
