SEVEN YEARS.

To ioin the ages they have gone
Those seven years,
Receding as the months roll on,
Yet very often my fancy hears
Your voice. twas music in my ears
Those seven years.
Scant the shadow and high the sun,
Those seven years:
Can hearts be one, then ours were ona
one for laughter and one for tears
Knit together in hopes and fears,
Those seven years.
How, perchance. do they seem TO you,
Those seven years,
Spirit free IN the wider blue?
When time in eternity disappears,
What L. all you have learned but The
more endears
These seven years?

Tho Ranger fo- Esmeraldns.

Ecuador has now taken its turn among
che tropical republics to which the present
year hrs brought turmoil and civil war.
The gtnbont Ranger, for some months sta
toned at Buenaventura, pending the prog
ress OF the revolution in Colombia, which
Is now Mt last suppressed, hns been hurried
to Esmeraldas, thence, perhaps, to proceed
to Guayaquil, on the other side Of the equa-
tor, to watch American interests in the ad-
Joining republic
The Ecuadorian Government had intima-
tions that this revolt was impending, yet
proved unable to ward it Off. 1t extends,
1t Is said all along the coast. The whole
republic comprises about 200, 900 people,
or perhaps 100000, including the wild
Indians, and it's regular military and naval
force in peace, is estimated, we believe, ut
about $3.50 officers and men, with two
small gunboats and transport. American
citizens are interested, it is said, in Ecua-
doris silver mines.
Mr.. TILLMAN, the United States Minister,
will no doubt keep the Washington au-
thorities informed of the progress of the re-
volt; and white the Ranger, sister ship Of
the little Alert, is on the coast itself. a more
powerful representative of our navy is not
far off, the Monterey having arrived at
Panama, and intending, it Is said, to proceed
to Esmeraldas and Guayaquil.
