the oRR OF THE DREAMER.


am tired of planning and toiling
In the crowded lives of men;
Heart.weary of building and spelling,
And spelling and building again.
And long for the dear old river.
Where dreamed my youth away;
For Il dreamer lives forever,
And toiler dies in day.
am sick of the snowy seeming
OF life that is half lie;
Of the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by. WI
From the sleepless thoughts endeavor
would go where the children play;
For Il dreamer lives forever.
And toiler dies in day.
| feel no pride but pity
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the poor. wv
Oh, the little hands so skilful.
And the child-mind choked with weeds;
The daughters heart grown wilful,
And tho fathers heart that bleeds.
No. no! from the streets rude hustle,
From trophies of mart and stage.
| would fly to the woods low rustic,
And the meadows kindly page.
Let me dream as of old by the river,
And be loved for the dream, alway;
For dreamer lives forever.
And Il toiler dies in day.

currency OF sufficient extent to maintain
that ratio permanently. " We have already
Rtated our opinion that tho agreement
now proposed does not fulfil the last
named essential condition.
Secondly, circumstances have ESSEN
italy altered since 1892. Despairing
of securing the adoption Of any of the
measures which they hal persistsntly
urged, tho government OF India dc.
ciied to attempt tho establishment OF
n gold standard, and, Hs the first step,
closed the minis to toe coinage of silver
rendered by tho public. II the pro
posalH now made had been nude in
1892 or at any tiuus before June, 1898,
ii is conceivable that tho government
Of India OF that time would have well
coined them az containing possibility
Of securing the ohjeots they desired,
and would, in order to secure their
adoption, have agreed to postpone the
closing of tho minis and to keep them
open for period sutfic lent TO allow n
full trial of tho measures OF France and
the United States, say for five years.
But our poHition Is now very different.
The experience of the last three or four
years has cleared up man. doubts
which were present to our predecessors
minds in 1893. and it has taught US
that the course We actually adopted in
1893 really had in il better chances of
success than the alternative of par.
tial international agreement. To agree
not to close mintH, still open, for a
definite time, and to agree TO reopen
closed minis, are two very different
things. The former course would have
been iustifiable il the measures pro.
posed were such as to afford reason
| able expectation of securing the main
| object of the government OF India
namely, stability in the rate OF ex.
| change. The latter Ia entirely unjusti-
| fable, unless the measures afford a
practical certainty of SECURING that
object.
The conditions under which wa have
had TO reply to your lordship's despatch
preclude our consulting the commercial
and banking communities in this
country, although the subject is one
in which they are, as We have ex-
plaineu. most closely interested, 1t
WIS ouly after prolonged public dis
cussion. and after formal exami.
nation by committee of exports, that
the policy of 1893 was adopts d.; and ii
we thought it our duty to Advocate a
change IN that policy. instead of to
set out the strong objections which we
SEQ to its abandonment, We would,
nevertheless, strongly leprecate any
steps of the kind being taken without
the fullest preliminary consideration on
the part OF the banking and commercial
bodies in this country.
To sum up our reply to your lord
ships reference is strong recon.
incubation that you should decline to
give the undertaking Desired hy France
and the United States. Our unanimous
and decided opinion is that ii would
be most unwise to reopen the minis as
part of the proposed arrangements,
especially at a time when we are to
all appearance approaching the attain
ment of stability in exchange by the
operation of our own isolated and in.
dependent action.

The darkened chamber held the maiden
dead.
Her name was Faith. OF long neglect she
died.
And now men rose and shook themselves
and cried,

But she lay silent on her solemn bed.
And men grew piteous at their prayer de-

They said NO more is man to man allied;
We fall asunder-and the world" they said,
And while they talked, behold q gracious
form.
And Love beside the pillow bending low:

So then he kissed her, and her flesh grew
warm;
She woke and faced them with ruddy
glow.
If Love be living, Faith can never die.
