LOVE N DEATH.

Death beckoned Love, and said: Come thou
with me-;
gather every rose.
/ dim esrth'S faire3t shows.
All souls OF men, all things in their degree
My sway c~onfess-then why,
Smiling doth thou deny,
Slight one Of guaZy wing, my right in thee%'
Love gently laughed and shook his shining
head:
Nay! l am sovereign king.
Though every flower of spring.
all life before thy face grow wan with dread;
Should each rejoicing star,
In the blue fields afar.
Swing blind through yoiceless space, extin-
guished, dead:
-s'Yet would I plume these wings, and mount on
high
To the great source of light,
And in fresh splendor digit
Return. the earth to bless, from yonder sky;
Wide is the realm / own,
No shadow fills my throne;
Love is supreme, for love shall never die"
Even as he spake, a phanthom pale and spare
Death dwindled, and as mist
BY JOYOUS sunshine kissed.
At Loves bright smile he vanished into airl
And men with raptured cry,
And songs of victory,
Hailed Love the king, that ever crown shall
wear.

Washington. When a mar is indicted
into a prominent office and has messen-
gers to attend his every want, a watch
man to look after him whenever he goes
out and whenever he comes in, a laekey
to dust his clothes and blacken his
shoes, and in many instances a horse
and coupe in which to drive back and
forth from his house to the department,
or from his Office to various points
of interest throughout the city, it is
not unnatural that these things should
produce u largeness of the head.
The gentlemen who are going out
and are now standing with their faces
to the sidewalk will realize at least one
portion of the lesson of individual lit
tleness which is learned by rotation in

ST. JOHNS y. F., July l2.-This colony
is threatened with more serious compl!ca-

ton. The French flagship Naiade, Ad-
miral Elamornax, arrived here on Sunday
to participate in the anniversary of the
establishment of the French republic and
also to arrange the recent difficulty over
the French shore. Five weeks ago the
French lobster packers imported large
quantities of trade implements in the
British steamer Harlaw to Boone Bay.
They refused to pay duties thereon, claim
ing that French goods were exempt.
The newfoundland government seized
the goods for the non-pay ent of duties
and sold them at auction The French
admiral Monday had conference with
the governor and the executive council
and demanded the return of the goods.
The governor refused, and he gave them
until S o'clock in the afternoon for final
answer None having been made at that
hour, he hosted anchor and left port, re-
fusing to attend dinner arranged in his
honor that evening.
