Queen ylctoria,a Sorrow.

News comes from Balmoral that Queen Vic
toria has another melancholy mood, similar to
the one she had about four years ago She
spends most of her time at Balmoral, visiting
the various places where she used to go on pic
mics with the Prince Consort.
The Queens grief for her cousort has EVIL

keeps vacant chair on her right at the private
table at Windsor Castle, and wherever else she
goes and it would be high treason in her eyes
for anyone to occupy that ehSir.

Before trust my fate to thee.
Or place my hand iE thine.
Before let thy future give
Color and form to mine,
Before peril all for thee,
Question thy soul tonight for mo.
break aIl slighter bonds, nor feel
shadow of regret:
Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet?
Or Is thy faith as clear and free
As that which can pledge to theer
Does there within thy dimmest dreams
A possible future shine,
Wherein thy life could henceforth breaehes
Untouched unshared by mine?
III so, ut any pain or cost
o. tell me before all Is lostl
Look deeper still. II thou canst feel
Within thy Utmost soul,
That thou hast kept portion back.
While have stalSed the whole,
Let no false pity spare the blow,
But In true mercy tell me so.
Is there within thy heart need
That mine cannot fnlfil?
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or still?
Speak now. lest nj some future day
My whole life wither and decay.
Lives there within thy nature hid
The demou-spirit change
Shedding passing glory still
On things new aud stranger
III may not be thy fault alone
But shield my heart against thy own.
Couldst thou withdraw thy hand one day
And answer TO my claim,
That fate. and to-day mistake.
Not thou. had been TO blames
Some soothe their conscience thus; but thou
Wilt surely warn aud save me now.
Nay, answer Rot--I dare not hear,
The words would come too late;
Yet would spare thee all remorse.
So, comfort thee, my Fate
Whatever on my heart may fall,
Remember, / will risk 1t all.

This Psalm has always been favorite q
missionary meetings.. 1t may be styled 1yptca
Messianfc. The Scottish poet, James Mont
aomery tb. 1771), has put this song into meter
which makes it goodly commentary:
Hall, to the LORDS annointed,
Great David's greater Son
Hail, IN the tipe appointed
His reign ontearth begun
He comes to bleak oppresson.-
To set the captve free;
To take away transgression,
And rule In equity.
He comes witt, succor speedy
To those wbUsager wfongt
Tohelp the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for signing
Their darkness turn to Light
Whose souls, condemn'd and dying.
Were precious in his sight
He shall descend like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
And love, and JOY like flowers,
Spring in his path to birthi
Before him. on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald. go,
And righteousness. in fountainA
From hill TO valley flow.
To him shall prayer uDoeasiEs.
And daily Vows ascend
His kingdom still ii.creasing,-
Kingdom without end:
The tide OF time shall never
His covenant remove;
His name shall stand forever;
That name to us Is Love.

Hatch, OF Missouri, in an interview today, said :
The people demand tariff reform, and the

policy of that kind. The sugar bounty is bound
70 be taken off There ia no question in my
mind that IL IS the worst kind of class legisla-
Hon When the Cleveland administration
comes into power IL will, believe, find an
empty treasury and be confronted with the ne
cessiiy OF raising additional revenue to meet
the expenses of the government during the
next fiscal year. Tho Democratic party will re-
store the duty on sugar, with some view Of
making II pay revenue to the government with
the least possible burden to the people.
Congressman Hammer, OF Pennsylvania. thinks
the bounty viii be taken off. but that Cleveland
will not sign any bill that does not protect the
sugar producers OF this country.
Congressman HUFF, of Pennsylvania, says:
cannot bring myself to believe that the
Democratic party is going to iegislate for the
hnal ruin OF sugar men. The bounty ought to
stand Tor few years at least. Ny opinion is
that cieve!and's proposals will be considered by

Ono Steamship Agent Says We Need
Europeans to DO Heavy Labor.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 16-By invitation
representatives OF various transatlantic steam
ship companies were before the senate and
house committees on immigration today to
give their views concerning the bill introduced
IN the senate by Chandler suspeuding immigra-
ton for one year. Gustave II. Schwsb, of New
York, presented the case Tor the steam hip
men and argued against the prohibition of i'm.
migration. He ex pressed a belief that the mag
nificent development OF the material resources
OF our country was due 10 the enormous immi-
grafton in the last half century. He argued
that Americans would not aud could not per-
form the heavy manual labor and mental serv-
ice required in the development of the country:
therefore. immigration was essential. Suspen-
sion could never be enforced as the Northern
aud southern frontiers could not be protected,
and the danger from cholera would be increased
because quarantine could not be mainta ned on
these frontiers He held that sanitary science
had perfected the quarantine system ana an
nounced the willingness OF steamship compa-
MES to maintain quarantine at The points of de-
parture He said that Col. Webers pan was
the only feasible one. In brief, that system be
provided for the examination OF immigrants be-
fore their departure by the steamship compa-
MES, who are TO be held liable for improper
entries
