It's walls are dim and low,
Yet mp and down its darkened aisles
The blessed angels go.
And he who keeps the temple
Should pray 10 God tonight
That faith may light the altar flame
And hope may keep it bright;
That love may bring the sacrifice
Which love delights TO give,
And all the sngels innocent
May tArry there 70 live.

that rests upon the Christians face, like

holier feelings, or broken those musical
chords of the heart, whose vibrations are
so sympathetic, tender and touching in
the evening of his pure life. And when
that evening shall have passed, the foot

follow
The evening has passed and the night
has come and he has entered paradise.
His long association with st. Johns =.

work the energies of his strong mind and

it will be broken link throughout eter-

Smythe, minister to Hayti and charge
d'affaires at San Domingo. who returned
recently on II siXty-day leave of absence,
and though his leave has not half expired,
his resignation has been accepted by the
Secretary of State.
There is something strange about this
proceeding. Nothing could be learned re-
garding IL at the State Department this
evening and as Mr.. Smythe is still in the
mountains of North Carolina, in the vi.
cinity of Asheville. where he went to re-
cuperate, it may he some time before the
true inwardness of Mr.. Smythe's resigna.
ton will become known.
There is evidently some mystery about
