AN EXQUISITE SONNET.

The poet Stoddard heads the poem
with these words:
The September number of the "Cen-
fury Magazine" contains the following
exquisite sonnet by the most thought
full and finished Of our poets, Miss
Edith NJ. Thomas:
And didst thou come, thou long-lost,
longed-for one,
That day when, thinking not of thee,
I cried
For respite from my foes on every
Didst point the refuge whittier I
could run?
And didst thou come, that evening
drear and dun,
When, thinking not of thee-too sore
ly tried,
I looked and saw the western clouds
divide,
And the fair setting Of the full-orbed
sum-?
And didst thou come on that dark,
signing dawn,
Swallowed with troubles of the day to
be,
When, suddenly, obeying thy still
call,
Were all those surging fears dismissed
and gone!
And dOst thou come all hours, and
blessing all,
Except the hour when most I think
of thee?

THE PENNSYLVANIA TRAGEDY

Y. hen we first read the horrid news
from Pennsylvania on Tuesday we
wrote this brief note:
The outlook in Pennsylvania just
s1s1w is lurid and warlike. There Is
terrible anxiety and great cause for it.
For such a condition to exist in a re-
public is awful and is a stigma and
reproach to the very name of free gov
ernment. We are extremely glad it is
not a southern state where actual war
urevails, and men are shot down as
sheep, and there are turmoil and SOL
diery and dread and death. Where it
will end is beyond our speculation. 1t is
possibly a satire upon the patience of
liberty and good, equal, just govern
zznent. English papers are discussing it.
1T is a scene of tumult and the dreadful
note of conflict is well calculated to
make people under a liberal monarchy
"a constitutional government-better
content with their w system OF rule.
We are glad we wrote NJ farther then,
Eor we were not in possession Of such
Facts as could enable us to judge right
eously and without Partially. Even a
day later we are not yet sure Of the
Ezc1s that led to the killing and wound
ing Of working men at Kazleton and we

On the 18th Of July he was thrown
from his buggy and his thigh was

audible to the people assembled there.
In due form he requested h pastor,
DR.. w. b. Slutz, to lead in prayer,

conduct the lesson review, and then
when the regular forms had been COM

The SphinA's Age.

mid Of Gizeh. was thoroughly investi-
gated by Professor Erman. who at a
recent meeting OF the Berlin academy
delivered a lecture about its probable
age. Careful researches show that 1t

the so-called middle kingdom" or
about 1000 3. G. Between her front
paws there was originally the image Of
a deity, all trace Of which has at the

twenty years must have been neces-
