OF sky so grandly bending2
BY bright hued clouds and glittering stars

Joylcss2 When out of crimson cloud
The sunrise pours its glory.
Morn after morn repeating we'll
Aurora's cheerful atory2
Peaceless2 When night with noiseless feet
From fields OF herbs and flowers,
Sweet odors In her mantle dark
Bears TO this cot OF ours2
Like fnintest sounds of distant seas
Pounding some castle hoary,
We hear the great worlds roar and fret
And trace her changeful story.
As far away white cleaning sail.
Turning Il bond Of river,
A noble deed with radiant flash
Makes every heartstrins CULVER.
So, thankful, where the kindly stars
spangle the blue with beauty,
We look and breathe the fervent wish
That all may do their duty.

PANAMA, via Galveston, Dec. 3d.
Ecuador is in condition Of unrest, and
there is strong reason to apprehend an
approaching revolution. The president,
it is said, has assumed almost des-
potic powers, overriding alike the con-
stitution and the laws. He has used the
veto power in the most drastic manner.
annuling the financial and customs
laws passed by congress, and leaving the
executive work without semblance of
legality. The president now is practically
a dictator, and there is every reason to
believe that revolution will shortly
break ont with view of re-establishing
a constitutional government.
