Caimness of Truth.

Caimness of Truth.
All truth Is calm,
Refuge of rock and tower;
The more of truth the more of calm,
It's caimness is its power.
Calmness is truth.
And truth is calmness still;
Truth lifts its forehead to the storm,
Like some eternal hill.
-Horatius Bonar
Unless you can think when the song is done.
No other is sweet in the rhythm;
Unless you can feel, when left by one,
That all men else go with him;
Unless you can know when unpraised by his
breath
That your beauty itself wants proving;
Unless you can swear-"For life, for death"-
Oh, fear to call it lovingi
Unless you can muse in a crowd all day
On the absent face that fixed you;
Unless you can love as the angels may,
With the breadth of heaven betwixt you;
Unless you Cal dream that his faith is fast,
Through behooving and unbehooving;
Unless You can die when the dream is past
Oh, never cali it loving!
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Books.
The past but lives in words; thousand ages
Were blank, if books had not evoked theii
ghosts,
And kept the pale embodied shades to warn u.
Frsm deshless lips.
-Bulwer.
Courage!
Darkness before, all joy behind!
Yet keep Thy courage, do not mind;
He soonest reads the lesson right
Who reads with back against the light

THE PANAMA SCANDAL.

PARIS, Dec 12-The Panama scandal
continues to engross public attention.
| The Figaro urges the government to get
NJ. Herr, one of the partners of the bank
ing house of which the late Baron de
Renach was the head, to testify regarding
the connection Of the bank with the affairs
of the canal company. NJ. Herr was the
last person to see Baron de Reiuach alive,
and it is believed that he Can throw light
upon the baron's alleged motive in com
mltting suicide.
The Temps states that the examination
of the remains of Baron de Reinach proves
that he died from poison ana not from
apoplexy, which was first given as the
cause of death.
In the senate NJ. Lacombe questioned
the government as to Its attitude towards
the Panama Investigation.
NJ. Bourgeois, minister of justice, de-
clared, amid the cheers OF the supporters
of the government. that he desired that
the most complete and searching light be
thrown upon the affairs of the company.
NJ. Bourgeois reiterated the statements IN
the recent ministerial declaration among
which was one affirming the intention of
the cabinet TO aid the parliament by every
means in its power TO elucidate the
mystery surrounding the affairs of the
company.
The committee today examined NJ Sou
made by NJ. Chantagrol that the witness,
acting under instructions from VI de les
seps, attempted to buy his vote W. Sou
ligne admitted, however. that upon one
occasion while chatting with NJ Chanta
grOl the Panama subject was discussed
and the witness spoke of the price that
had to be paid for the conscience OF mem
bers OF the chamber Of deputies, but he
declared that he was only Joking.
Premier Ribot said that d few DAYS ago
the Panama committees inquiry had
seemed useless, but, owing TO the continued
dissemination of calumnies. the inquiry
was now the duty Of the public admins

roads, calling attention TO the fact that
they have not advanced their through
rates TO points west of Chicago, in con

western roads from Chicago TO ST. Louis
aud to the Missouri river A. result
their split tickets are disturbing the mar
ket here, and they are urgently requested
to discontinue the sale Of such tickets i'm
medIately. IL the request Is not promptly
complied with there IS no doubt that the

measures 10 protect their revenues, which
means that they will refuse 10 honor the
