NOCTIS DEA.

(Alfred Egerton. in Chambers Journal)
Far in the west the glowing colors fade
While sober Evening darkens all the
sky;
And Night, with tagging steps too long
delayed,
Unfolds her mantle as she passes by.
Like a maiden, smiling through her tears,
The silVery moon looks through a wan
dering cloud
As fair and bright as in far-distant years
When Greek and Roman in her temples
bowed.
Once. long ago. on Egypts ancient lands,
That moon shone down with soft, myS-
FERROUS light,
When the new pyramids, upon the sands.
Rose dark and somber in the lonely
night;
Or where the dusky daughters of the Nile
Amid their lotus blossoms sank to rest
In sweet forgetfulness beneath thy smile,
Pale Queen of Night, in queenly radi-
ance drest.
The lotus blossoms have long since de-
cayed.
The towering pyramids are wrapt in
The Pharaohs' moldering dust long time
has laid
Within the dreary portals of the tomb.
But thou, refulgent, dost ascend the sky
And flood the world with streaming
silver lights
While the swift ages pass unheeded by;
Serene thou reignest, sovereign Queen
of Night

GERMANY AND ARBITRATION.

! According to the latest advices from
The Hague. Germany has yielded in her
opposition TO the Pauncefote proposal
/ for the establishment of a permanent
court of arbitration, and the German
delegates will give their voice, votes,
and influence to the project.
If other powers decide to stand
| pat" and not become suspicious OF this
sudden conversion of the kaiser, it
seems that the adoption of the arbitra-
| ton plan viii be a success in spite of
the cars discOura cement.
Mankind in general viii receive this
news with joy, for it means more than
skeptics may feel disposed to admit
1t is only fair to assume that the czars
! ana kaisers and other potentates ex-
pect to keep any agreement they make
with the rest of the world especially
when all are pledged TO keep refrac-
tory powers in line and to see that the
rules of arbitration are enforced. Great
| Britain is in honor bound to live up
to the plan, since her delegation pro-
| posed it, while the United States is a
land OF peace, whose fighting record
was gained in wars against oppression,
for n-1enendence, for humanity, and
not for conquest or the subjugation Of
/ foreign races.
The plan, if adopted. Will result in
! great good to all the world. 1t is sim
pie, sufficient and satisfactory. consid-
ering the nature of the problem with
which it deals and the revolution in in
! ternational controversies it is destined
to bring about.
Each Government joining in the plan
is TO have q member of the court. each
arbiter to be appointed by the highest
tribunal of his country This ought to
! keep the position out of politics, as the
questions TO be determined are essen
TALLY nOn-partisan. and TO insure the
appointment of men of high character
and great ability to the international
court.
Cases may be submitted to the full
court or to a limited number OF men,
bers thereof, not less than three, Sc
lected by the court itself. No one Of
them, where the number sitting IS
limited shall be a native, subject or
citizen Of either of the states involved
in the dispute.
It is to be the supreme court Of the
world II is a court of rational pro-
cedure, intended to take the place in
human history of the tribunal of vio-
lence where Might wins his cases, right
or wrong. There is every reason to
suppose that a decision rendered by
court of arbitration, supported by ma
tions, each of which may have to ap-
peal to it in time, would be as just
and as righteous as it is possible for
untrammeled human judgment to be.
Surely no civilized nation will oppose
it further. and it is difficult to con-
lecture upon what grounds any country
that has any faith in the justice of its
cause. or any regard for the welfare of
humanity, could refuse ito submit its
case TO such a tribunal.

the brains of all the provinces. She
became a city of marble buildings ri
valing in size and wealth our great
modern capitols. Life became luxuri-
Gus, literature and the arts fiourished,
a magnificent system of law was de-
veloped. In addition to the gratitude
which we owe to her for the preserva-
ton of what was best in the older civil

Her law is, and has been fox centuries,
the basis of most of the legal systems
of continental Europe. Through the
canon law, which was based on Roman
law, it has had an important influence
on English common law, the parent
of our own system. Through the use
of the Code Napoleon in Louisiana it
has entered into our own country. At
the present time it seems probable that
its influence will be even greater
in the future.
The literature of Rome has furnished
the mental pabulum for a large part
of the educational system ever since
her day. The works of her greatest
authors, used as schoolbooks. have in
structed and nodded the minds Of most
modern students. Caesar, Cicero, Ovid

empire. Beneath the palace of the Gaze
sars one may go still lower and enter
subterranean rooms belonging to a
house of the republican period. The
excavations have not been continued
to a greater depth, but this house, too,
was built upon the ruins of former
generation The debris has accumu-
lated from age to age, and Rome is a
succession of cities each built upon its
predecessor. This must always be kept
in mind in studying Rome and her in
fluence.
Again we may form an idea of her
history by tracing the vicissitudes
through which the castle of ST. Angelo
has passed during 1,s00 years. THE pile
which Hadrian reared SO high" for his
own mausoleum has been associated
with every epoch of the city's history
since his day. 1t was the burial place
of the emperors for four-score years,
but a tomb in Rome is in no way safe
from dissertation, and this has been
guarded as a fortress for more than
i. 600 years. Belisarius, Crescentius. Ar
mold of Brescia, Rienzi. as well as many
popes. have defended it against Goths,
Germans or fellow-Romans. 1t has
been a prison, too, and Beatrice Cenci,

and Virgil are read daily by hundreds
of thousands scattered over the whole
globe. Who could venture to estimate
their influence in shaping the modern
character? But aside from the use or
these authors as text books, 4 deep
impress has been made by Roman lit
erature. Plautus influenced and furnish
ed plots TO both Moliere and Shake
speare, especially in the latter's Com
edy of Errors" Cicero may be said to
have formed the Latin language, as
Dante formed the Italian. Probably
no other author in the world has writ
ten so much that made for humanism.
His influence has been continuous, but
probably greatest in the period of the
Renaissance. Ovid has been the great
storehouse of NEUROLOGICAL lore. The
artists of the Renaissance drew many
of their subjects from his stories: no
one can thoroughly enjoy their paint
ings or read modern literature intelli-
gently without knowledge of his tales
LAS a master of style Livy is supreme
among historians" His books nave
formed our impressions of regal and
republican Rome. Tacitus depicted the
imperial history with such vivid tints
that all our modern ideas of this pc
riod are col6ed by his views. Horace
safe in his golden mediocrity, like Ec-
clesiasticus or Montaigne, awakens a
ready response in every cultivated
mind. In this subject lit is more diff
ficult to find an end than beginning.
but space forbids any further attempt
to show the extent of the influence Of
Roman literature.

then into the mistress of the world.
She progressed slowly and steadily,

resources would allow. She spared the

all that was best in the subject nations
