Wiy mnst we mourn for vanished light,
For plcasures lost, as fair as flecting,
And weep beneath the eyes of night.
The niemory of our morning greeting?
S joy too weak to live alway?
Is life so fond of pale-lbrowed sorrow
That every hope that blooms to-day
Must a<de anl (lie before to-moriow?"
But nay," a voice within replied,
So sweet I conld not choose but hear it,
God never yet hath light denied
To those whose somus can draw them near it.
Look up in trust, ani sce beyond
Those c'.odT:: of ill, this vain repining,
A Fath("r's strength, sustained and fond,
A Iathr's love, securely shining."

Why are we left to stand alone,
With ill gone by that madl 'ife dearer?

Eye speal:s to eve, liear leans to heart,

PAINTUEl'S VENGEANCE.
Thirty years ago the Belgian painter,
utoine Wiertz, was astoinishin g th,

"avagant productions which aro nov:x
ibited at Uri si hi inl the mzuseui wiuei

'Thought his brush was gencrnlly occi

msetnted to paiit portraits. This was
favor, however. wlhic lie only aceordel
those whose physio nomy happened
inter< st him. It may be added that
is taste inclined rather to the grotesque

One day he received a visit from a cer

The Japanese Indemnity.
The return of the Simoonoseki indem.
nity has cauisedl great pleasure in ,Jap)an,
not only as a just and honorable aict, but
also as a practical evidence that at least
('ne great Western power p)uts this
Asiatic country on a pari wvithi the fore
most nations of Europe in its claims to
in ternation al cour tosy anid considleration.
Tlhiis result arouses the ill feeling of some
of the English residents of Yokohama,who
say thtat the restoration of the money was
niot made from a contviction of its justice,
biut only with a shrewd busiiness aim to
secure Japanese favor. Great ,Britain
was one of the countries that joined with
the United1 States in fining Japan for
acts which the Government of 'that
country was not resp)onsib)le for, and
which were committed by a rebel prince
whose aniniosity was excited by the
Glovernient's friendliness to foreigners.
It was an outrage to dlemandi indemnity
for trivial losses inflicted on foreign
vessels and other property from such a
catuis; and thme actioii of the United
States was aii acknowledgmentt of the
outrage and a reparation of part of it.
The universal tone of the press and pub.
lie discussion here shows that the simple
puirpose of Congress in restoring the w..
diemnity was an act of justice, and not
to seek an advantage in trade rivalry.
