gathering of fighting seabirds to
some carnival Of death, it may-amid
stress Of nations and perplexities OF
Statesmen. the German prince lies
helpless as a new born babe. at the

God has finished with the man Of

his stead. for some all-wise reason, q
mad kaiser-and there is no magis-
trate who can bind him over to keep
the peace of the world. Following
Gladstone. Bismarck will soon be
gathered to his fathers. Then the
good old queen of England, white

the old Pope.
After these there will arise new
kings, which knew not Joseph. New
national policies will prevail, and
