Ai Twilight. Wo sit by the window, my baby and I, In the fading sunset light, Watohing the darknosB creep over tho sky, Out of tho Eaatorn night; We see the stars come trembling out In the track 6f the fallon sun, And wo feel the quiot. within and without, That comes whoo tho day is done. What have we boen doing all dar, all day, ?Since, tho rosy morning smiled? Flaying at work and working at play God help ns, mother and child Bat much I fear those little hands Have put rae to shame to-day For God, who is earnest, understands Truly our work and play. I think of kindness loft undone, That might havu brightened the day Of duties dreamed of, but nevor begun, Scattered along my way; You lio with peace in your violet evos You have not earned regret For the sorrowful yosrs that make us wiso Have not como to my baby yot. And still, as I sit in this twilight hour, At tho closo of a weary day, Even sorrow and sin do not quito have power To keep a blessing away A blessing that falls like tho dew- from Heaven On the parched and thirsty ground; And in loving much, because much for? given, My deeper peace is found. Your lifo, my baby, is just began, And mine is growing old; Bat we'ro children both in the oyes of One Whose years are all untold; He holds us both in Ilia loving hand, He pardons all our sin, And, by-and-by, to tho eamo oweot land, He will gently let us in. Rumored SIcUneig of the Empcror Napoleon. In our issue of yesterday, wo pub published a cable despatch to the effect that tho Emperor Napoleon was sick. Thia is the second report to the same effect in the space of som o fow weeks. It will not supriso us if it turn out that the rumor has been ill founded, or that the actual fact has been greatly exaggerated. True or not true, tho rumor is deeply sug? gestive. On tho life of no man now living do so many consequences, probably and possible, depend. It is well known that, for years post, his health has not been good, and no one who knows tho condition of Franco and of Europe can wonder that a rumor of the Emperor's illness is felt to be tho most startling sensa? tion of the moment. "Were the Emperor to die at this time, it is quite impossible to say precisely what would or what would not follow. One thing it is safo to say-that notwithstanding the skill with which Louis Napoleon has ma? naged France for nearly twenty years -France, at his death, would bo plunged into a state of anarchy and confusion. Of course, his son would succeed him as Napoleon tho Fourth. Tho Empress would bo regent of the empire. Prince Napoleon in all like? lihood would be a prominent mem? ber of tho Council of State. Either ho would or he would not; but whe? ther honored with office and power by tho Emperor's last will and testa? ment or ignored and loft asido, ho would be equally a dangerous mau to the interests of the Napoleonic dy? nasty. Trouble would be BU re to arise in the imperial family, and this ?trouble would furnish the desired opportunity both to tho Bourbons sud to the Republicans. This, however, is not all. Europe, from the moment of the Emperor's death, would cease to bo fearful of France. Italy would become bolder, Austria less cautious, Prussia moro determinod and Russia moro aggres? sive. Wo would have the Italians ?gain marching on Rome, Prussia hurrying forward German unity, Austria, perhaps, in civil war iu con? sequence of the sympathies of her German subjects, and Russia push? ing herself toward Constautiuoplo. France, without a head aud at the mercy of conteuding factions, would bo so occupied with her own affairs, that she would bo uuablo to do moro than enter her protest. Looking at the situation from this point of view, wo cannot much woudcr at tho impor? tance which is attached to tho Em? peror's lifo. Franco has, perhaps, seen her highest point of greatness under his rule. At tho close of his reign Franco and Europe, generally, will come under now conditions \J\rew York Herald, June 1. The editor of tho Louisville Jour? nal says, if ho possessed the most ?valuable thiug3 in tho world, ond was about to will them away, the follow? ing would bo his plan for distribu? tion: I would give tho world truth and ?rieudship, which ore BOW SO very scarce.
