A look of yearning tenderneti Beneath her lashes lies, And hope and lovo unutterable Are shadowed it, her eyes, As in soine deep unrunefld streata Are cloude and sumer skiet. She passed to early womanhood, From dreamy. sweet. girl life, And crossed the rosy threshold but To innd herself n wife; Oh i gently ishould ho. lead her ti*d's - Along the path of life! And as she claspiq' he simal while hands Cpon his arm so strong, How often, like a summer gli'g, Or a sweet pleading song, She whispers, wit h a parting kiss, "Belov'd one, don't stay lolig-." It's almost always ii li'1p s, I1er gentlest. Pitih5g word, Sweet as th h-agiince filoni rose leaves When by soft zephyrs stirred, And lingering In the memory Like song of summer birds. And in his heart. they nestle warni When oth'begednes aiid; 11eh14ys fot till she weary grows; And her fond eyes are hid In tears which lie in bitterness Beneath each veiling lid. And dh, how many hearts are kept By that love uttering song I There's searcely one who on life's waves Is Iitily bornb I1ig, But. whit, hd'i herd from some dear lips Those sWeet words, "Don'tStry Long."

The important fact, that the two races are, under existing circimi. tanices, necessary to ealch other, is gradually becoming apparent to both, and we believe that but for the influence exerted to stir i) the ;astions of the .e. groes, the relation- of the two races would Adon adjust themscives oil a basi o' mutual kindness aim advan tago.

Only tho deepest sense of the outrages againtst the country and its iaws, as elas against htumtanity j;i:utLiced by the liadical leaders, coulid have b)roughtt the peCople to thiis mtood and wvrought the conviction that tno other [langer is so great as for that party to iontiiluo fri lidwdif. Perhaps, also, thero is another thought active in the saso. Thero is a wvidesproad uneasi lsess tjndor t,ho burden of taxation itn volvdd by the deCbt ; and though both parties tend towards repudiation, the people will have thoir ,revenge off ti i1t1 whti ufadd this debt, and who therefore put the country In position to require repudiation.
