OF FRIENDSHIP.

A winters eve. dark, cold and comfortlessi
My feelings catch the spirit of the night:
Nor can u cheerful fires warmth and light
Dispel foreboding thoughts and restiessness.
IT'S at such times dread visions GROSS our sight,
Unwelcome phantoms, shadowlike, appear,
Supplant hopes prophecy with Idle fear,
Create and nook our melancholy plight.
But. of a sudden, my good friend Ia here;
Al mists before ,the sun these demons 90.
What matter Winters cold and skies above
My heart Ia full of happiness and ohserl
Such swift transitions thoy alone oan know
Who drink soul deep Of friendship and its love.

Within the scope Of magazine arti-
Gle it is impossible to describe the steps
which France. Germany and Italy sew
orally took. A sufficient idea, however.
may be gained by the casual reader Of
what has been done when say that
within the last ten years France has ao-
quired Of equatorial Africa about 8oo,-
900 square miles. in which there are
now 800 Europeans; Germany, 400, 900
square miles; Italy, $4,000 square
miles; and Portugal has now defined
territory extending over ITO, 900 square
miles. France, moreover, has been ac-
tive farther north, In the Sahara and In
west Africa, and claims rights over
1900, 900 square miles. while Germany.
in southwest Africa and the Oameroons.
asserts her ruls over $40, 00G square
miles. Henry M. Stanley In Century.

afternoon as she bent over him with

Don't be foolish, DEAR she said, re-
arranging her landscape.

"Now your curls are all tangled up

In her mouth she patted him into shape

that no such letter Is In existence. mar -
e likely to Be written. II at IN. until sftef

The trend Of events leads to the belief
that Mr.. Cleveland win leave 1t to the
Democratic convention to make its choice
without . word from him: and II he should
be rendered the nomination he win accept.
New York promises. II the experience
in the Republican column this year. but
Mr.. Cleveland has welded such power In
the state before that II might be easy to
convince him he can do It again. and that
he is the only man who can carry 1t against
the Republican nominee. To be the can
didate four times in succession is In itself
an unprecedented honor. and success for
the third time means no less unprece-
dented distinction. He has every thing to
gain and nothing to lose.
New York state Is q gold standard state,

vantage TO the New York importer. II
was this interest which turned the scale

Republicans have no doubt that the labor
vote and manufacturing vote win be cast

Republicans do.

siasm IN favor OF a vigorous foreign policy
with which ne might hope to swing one or

New York. That some such political plan
may be attempted in 4 desperate chance
of saving the Democracy Is an exigency
for which me Republicans should be pre-
pared One thing Is sure: Cleveland Is
very human and very ambitious. and in
