When the lessons and tasks are all ended,


And the school for the day is dismissed.
And the little ones gather around me-


To bid me coed MS ht and be Lissed:
Ob, the little white arms that encircle


AS neck in tender embrace
Oh. the smiles that are halos of heaven,


shedding sunshine of love on my facel


And when they are gone, sit dreaming


Or my childhood too lovely to last:
Of love that my heart will remember,


when 1t wakes to the pulse of the past
Ere the world and its wickedness made me


partner Of sorrow and sin,
When the glory of God was about me-


And the glory of gladness within.
Oh. my heart grows weak as a woman's.


And the fountain of feeling will flow,
when think of the Taths, steep and stony,


Where the feet o. the dear ones must go;
vi the mountains Of sin hanging Ger them.


OF the tempest of Fate blowing wild;
oh there is nothing on earth half so holy
AS the innocent heart of a childI
They are idols of hearts and of households:
Ihey are angels OF God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,


bis glory s.lll CLEANS in their eyes;
On those truants from home and from heaven
Ihey have made me more manly and mild
And know how Jesus could liken


The Kingdom Of God to q child.
Seek not life for the dear ones.

Dut that uie may nave just enough shadow
To temper tho glare OF The sun;

They have taught me the goodness of God;

Where shut them from breaking rule;

To traverse its threshold no more:
All how shall sigh Tor the dear ones,
That meet me each morn at the oor

and the gush Of their innocent eiee,
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
shall miss them at morn and at eye
Their song in the school ana the street:
shall miss The low hum of their voices
And the tramp Of their delicate feet
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And death says, "The school Is dssmissedl"
May the little ones gather around me,

An Incident of YOrkville Police Court.


A few weeks since man named Isaac Stoeline
an Israellte and a butcher, in the employment Of
David Frank, doing business at the foot of East
Foryseventh street, was arrested at the instance 0f
his employer, on a charge of embezzling seventy
dollars. Justice Bixby set the case down for exami
nation few days after the arrest had been mads.
On various pretexts the examination was adjourned
until yesterday In the meantme, it appears, Mr..
Schlessinger, real estate agent, on Second avenue
who had gone bail for Isaac, was induced
by the latter to pay Frank the sum Of twenty.
five dollars, who was willing for that
sum to settle the case. Schlessinger paid the
money to Frank, who thereupon gave Isaac writ
ten receipt, pledging himself to have nothing more
to do with the case Unfortunately for both parties
the lawyers engaged OH both sides, and who had not
been paid their fees got hold OF this receipt through
the simplicity OF Stoeing, and, will be seen made
good Of it to their share Of the spoils.
Yesterday afternoon the case was again called; but
only the prisoner, stoeling, who had been notified
by his COUNSEL was present. The receipt was then
shown to Justice Coulter and the facts in the
explained to him. The result was that officers were
detailed to find Frank and Schlessinger The latter
was brought to court, but the officer sent after
Frank being unable to find him the case was again
adjourned until Monday morning.

A few weeks since while travelling in one

trio old man, who combines the occupations
Of farmer, horsedealcr, aud colporteur. In
his "work Of mercy he distributes tracts
gratuitously, and sells Bibles and other rolig.

them, and gives them away to the poor. We
were very much impressed, as well as amused
with one remark which the old man made in
the course Of the conversation Now, said

stop to deal in horses, never have good luck

manner Of this old man. He seemed 10 be
impressed with the importance Of profound
truth he had discovered, and this was his
homely and pithy way Of formulating that
truth. 1t was only frank avowal of a scnti-
ment which many men approve, though they
dare not utter-some, indeed, being afraid to
confess it to their own heart. They wish to
lose sight Of God while attending to business
forgetting that God does not lose sight OF


them. With them business is one thing, relig.
ion another; the one to be strictly attended
to on six days Of the week, the obseryances
Of the other to be confined to one day. While
they DO not hesitate to let business sometimes

that she would not have a copy Of his

The death of the Duke of Reichstadt, in
1882, left him the successor of Napoleon
l., not by legitimate descent, but by the
Imperial ediets of 1904 and 1905, which
set aside the usual order of descent, and
fixed the succession in tho line of the
fourth brother of Napoleon, Louis, in
stead of that of the elder brother Joseph.
This was the beginning of the
Year: 1870

OF Napoleon, which ended only at Sedan
on Friday. It fired his soul with dreams
of future power, to the realization of which
he ever afterwards directed his best ener-
gies. His Reoeryes Politiqucs were written
to demonstrate the necessity of an En-
peror to the true republican organization

the most needful and salutary legislation, put
on the statute book enactments 80 monstrous
in principle, and so corrupt and wicked in
purpose, that the disgust and alarm of honest
men caused by it at home was even surpassed
by that excited abroad. This statutory
iniquity, which impelled foreign nation,
speaking the same tongue and following max
inns of law and morals nearest resembling our
own, to send hlther q commission to remon-
strate against 80 obvious breach of our own
laws and professions, on the faith of which it
had made large investments among us, owes
all its efficiency to the official approval of the
Governor elected by the same party, and pro-
posed for nomination again.


The wrongs and injuries suffered and threat

When Napoleon, ON a fimsy pretext, declared
war against the North German Confederation
the sympathies of nearly all free people were
instantly enlisted on the side of Prussia,
because the declaration was so evidently
unjust, and because the real objects
of the Emperor clearly were to con-
solidate his own family interests, to
establish Cssarism, and to prevent the unity
of the German nation. The interests of the
Bonapartes have always been in opposition to
popular rights and national progress in France
quite as much as in other parts of Europe,
while the unity of Germany is one of the
most important steps in popular progress
which Europe has witnessed during the
present generation. But the considera-
tiOns which influenced the sympathies OF the
United States at first are fast giving place to
others. The conditions are changed. Caesar
ism is overthrown. The Bonapartes have
fallen for a second time, and their fall we
trust is forever. German unity is secured.
German liberty we hope is not far off,
The victOrs can afford to be magnanimOus,
and if they press too severely upon the
vanquished they may lose the good will
which is now enlisted on their side,
and transfer it to the gallant but un-
fortunate Republic which is striving 10
build itself up amidst the ruins of
the bastard Empire. The moderate and
pacific declarations made by Count Won
Bismarck to our correspondent just before
the fall of Sedan were gratifying indi-
cations of the temper of the Prussian Govern
ment, but it is by no means certain that the
moderation which prevailed on the eve of
battle will be preserved on the norrow of the
triumph. If this war should become a contest


between the French Republic fighting for in
dependence and territorial integrity, and the
house OF Hohenzollern Sighting for the pos
session of French provinces, our sympathies
must turn as decidedly towards the side of
France as they are now turned towards the
side of Germany.


| We do not believe, however, that this ia to
be a war of conquest. The Germans have
shown no disposition to encroach upon their
neighbors, and the aggressive policy of Prussia
has not been directed against foreign territory.

Victor Hugo has written an address to the
Germans which, with all Difference to the Illus
trious patriot and poet, we must call preemi-
nently absurd. He bids them pause and think
before they move upon the City of Paris to
slaughter its people soul by soul, and overturn
its walls and houses stone by stone. Paris will
resist to the last man, and if the Prussians ever
get into the capital they will find nothing but
corpses. 1t is beginning to be pretty clear,
however, that there is no such furious and
headlong spirit of resistance in France as
everybody expected that the Germans must
encounter on their march to the Seine, and as
Europe encountered in trying to put down the
first revolution. Whether eighteen years of
CRsarism have enervated the French ma
ton, or the progress of intelligence
has made them more reasonable, we do not
care to inquire; but in few days we have
no doubt they will be as eager for peace as
six weeks ago they were for war. AT any
rate, what reason has Victor Hugo to suppose
that Paris will fight longer than Sedanf
