I aa the Tictor, Philip May ’Ton knew it the moment we met to-night.

Ton had not looked for inch easy grace.For oar parting left me crushed and white.

My Upa were enrred in a qniet smile—Ton bad seen them stiffen with sudden pain—

Did job think as yoa searched my eyes, the while.Of the time« they had looked for yon in rain ?

Did they tell yon the story yon hoped to read—The tale of a lingering lore for yoa *

Why did yoa quail and falter so,Neath the lerel ray of their frozen blue ?

Why did yon drop your faultless vole*To the tender tone of the olden strain ?

Yon cannot recall the early trust Whose delicate life by scorn was slain !

Yoa're failed for once, my king of hearts !Mine was too high to break for yon.

I might hare loved yon long and well.Bad I prosed yon noble and good and true.

Bat whes I saw that the thing I lored Was aot yon, bat my soal's Ideal—

When I knew yoa selfish and hard and cold—I had no fealty for the BeaL

Yoa are not my master any more 1 Toor thrall of the olden time is free.

The broken wing of the bird is healed,And I scorn yoar pliant tongue and knee.

Bare yon forgotten yoar spoken words ?I shall remember them till I die ;

My heart went down in the dost to yon.And low in the dost yon let it lie !

You hare mistaken me all the while ;I do not miss yon nor want yoa now !

The lasson yoa taught me is potent yet.Though it left no line on my open brow.

Clerer player, of canning touch,The chords are jangled and will not chime !

Well, are the throbs of a tortured heart Set to the flow of a pleasant rhyme ?

But God, He knows that I bad no hope Ever to lure you back again ;

And the wish went out with the Long Ago,And never can come to me again.

How dared yon dream you were dear to me ?Or speak of things that yon should forget ?

I blush to think a kiss of yours Ever upon my mouth was set!

The lore that I bore you, Philip Hay,Nearly killed me ere it died ;

But one dark night the stubborn thing Was sternly stifled and pushed aside ;

And the arms of a true love took in me.Whom you left to moan at yonr heart’s shat door;

I'm clothed about with his tenderness.And wrapped from loneness evermore !

“ Oh ! speak frankly ; it may be that I don’t touch your sympathies. Tell me. That would be painful to me as I am more enthusiastic about yourself even than about your sister ; but I would net have you otherwise. I know that prejudices are involuntary, and only those who deserve them can take offence at them.”

I could not have told Mile. d ’Ortosa whether she was agreeable to me or n o t; but as she wished to seize on my sister's confidence, possibly on her future, it became neces­sary that I should know her and I invited her to come again. W e appointed a day and I agreed to meet her half way to the dairy, where she had rested and which I knew well. I accompanied her to her horse, which she managed somewhat in circus fashion, and I fancied she d id not do quite so respectably as a young person should. On the day named I started early on horseback w ith a servant, the country roads around my house not adm itting o f a carriage. I go t to the place first. I t was a wooded plateau, higher than the rest and overtopping the numer­ous rocky mounds which bear the relics o f the huge for­est. The v iew was solemn and melancholy. I put up my horse at the dairy and ordered a rustic breakfast to be served on the grass. The weather was charming ; all the bnds and flowerets o f spring were out and I gathered a great bouquet o f anemones and lilac. Mile. Ortosa ar­rived in ha lf an hour w ith tw o attendants, a servant and a young erete, as we call a dandy nowadays, w ith this d if­ference, the dandy was the counterfeit o f a great lord, the erete is the counterfeit o f a jockey. W h ile I was look ing at this unexpected visitor, Mile. d ’Ortosa, who noticed it, sprang to the ground laughing.

“ Don’t think o f that b o re ; he w ill not bore us. I t is only the Prince o f Ourowski whom I have the honor to present to you. N ow , young man,” and she turned to him, “ you have made your bow, all is over. Y ou know what was agreed between u s ; you wished to accompany me, you were afraid that I should die o f e n n u i i f I was de­prived o f your conversation. I accepted it, not to throw you into despair, but I to ld you I should find better. And now you can go and look at the circus o f Revins or the Dames de Mense and return to me in tw o hours.”

The small young man bowed, mounted his horse again and disappeared, w ith the resignation o f a slave broken into the caprices o f a queen. I made no reflection to Mile. d ’Ortosa on the incident, although it was not to my taste. I owed her the hospitality o f the Ardennes and in­vited her to a collation o f new la id eggs, m ilk and new bread, which they served for us w ith a neatness quite ap­petizing. She exclaim ed that it was charming, but that she found idyl a little flat and she had taken precaution against it. She called her servant and made him bring forward a tin case that he had carried behind him. There was a bottle o f stout, a sausage, tw o cold partridges and a flask o f black coffee.

“ O h ! the ice, the ic e ! A h ! that tiresome prince had charge o f it. H e was com plaining that the box made his back cold and now he has carried it off. W hat b ra ins! Run, catch h im ; we must have our ice ."

The servant galloped o ff and brought back the metal case w ith the ice. Mile, ate and drank like a man. She

was a large woman, rather thin but strongly built, and leading an out-door life. She had iron health and a hun­ter’s appetite. I complimented her on it.

“ Our health is as we make it. I t is only to regulate one’s regimen by one’s organization. I see you are tem­perate. That is w ell; you lead a tranquil, regular life ; you don’t expend your strength; you w ill always have enough for what you want to do. W ith me it is quite different.But I came to talk o f myself. I w ill do so.”

She lighted a cigar. “ I don’t ask your permission; I know your father smokes, and that does not incommode either you or your sister.” She then lay down on her water-proof in a graceful attitude, that disclosed her small Spanish foot, encased in its fine elastic boot. She took off her hat, and let her rich head o f golden hair fall over her shoulders. Her pale eye, w ith its artificial black circle, increased enormously, assumed the fineness o f a feline eye, and, sure o f her beauty, she began :

“ I am the daughter o f a very great lady. The Count d ’Ortosa, my mother’s husband, was old and broken up.H e had some rickety children who died early. My mother, when crossing the mountains, was carried off by a cele­brated brigand chief. He was young, handsome, w ell­born and lull o f courtesy. He gave her liberty without ransom, and added a safe conduct, which enabled her henceforth to travel through the provinces where he had partisans. Sad was the day my mother told her adven­ture. I came into the world at a date that tallied with this adventure. M y remembrance ot the brigand is an odd incident that nobody has pretended to explain. The Count d ’Ortosa pretended that I could not be o f his family, but he died suddenly and I lived endowed w ith good blood, for which I have to thank whoever gave it me. I was brought up at Madrid, Paris. London. Naples. Vienna— in a word, not brought up at all. My mother, pretty and charming, never taught me anything but how to wear my mantilla, and the equally important use o f my fan. My waiting maids taught me the jo ta aragoneet and our other national dances, which were great elements o f health to me at home and o f success abroad. I acquired several languages, most useful in a career like mine, and I read a quantity o f romances, which d id not dupe me. I know fu ll well that destiny accomplishes nothing o f itself, but in them I learned the religion o f the w ill. Yes. the most improbable romances have possible solutions in life, i f one only w ills that which authors make their personage* ac­complish. I am romantic in my way.

“ M y mother was o f an age to seek a second alliance when she became a w idow. She had nothing from her ertate except his debts. Her adventure with the brigands made a little talk in Spain. She went abroad to avoid the jests— not ill-natured— which would, however, keep o ff serious pretenders. She was received everywhere a* one o f the most seductive persons in the world ; but she wa« passion a te ; it was her misfortune. She loved— and men wcroeo

love don’t marry.

“ I saw her am ours; she did not hide them mueb. and I was curious. I speak ot them because they are rather to her credit, as you must understand. She a a» more tender than ambitious— more im pulsive than calculating Her youth was spent in intoxication, always >nrroedrd by tear*. She was good, and wept before me, saying * K im me tt-1 com fort your poor mother, who is in trouble 1 C-■•,..•! *be imagine I was ignorant o f the cause ? She had a •¿►tet older than herself, who bad attained the ol hr;ambition, wealth, in m arrying a speculator. Site gave r..r

The an­swers that were given a huudreu years ago may still be fur­nished to aB atlas questions abont principal towns and cities, staple products, frnits, etc. The same old countries are there y e t— no change, and lio progress even worthy of a passing notice. Paiuted in red. yellow and bine, our school children, just as iheir gruud parents did, will find C :na and Siberia, Hiudostan and Siam, Arnan and Bur- 1, , Arabia and Persia. Turkey and Tartary, with theirimmense areas and populations.

It is also the same with Africa, no change, save the recent progress made in Liberia, through the trauBplant'ng of American ideas, American methods and Americau laws. In her immense forests o f widespread mimosas, you may still trace the footpaths ot patriarcliial lions and elephants in lieu o f the new-mado roads o f the pioneer, and the iron thoroughfares o f the capitalist that penetrate the Western wilds of America, and over which the subtle lightning is even made to whisper the commercial intelligence of one ocean to another.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE N EW Y O R K FOUND­LING ASYLUM .

In Protestant England there are no legally authorized Foundling Asylums. The only institution in the kingdom, which approaches that character, îb one in London, which was founded in the seventeenth century, and suppressed in 1700 by a legal modification which converted it into an “ Asylum for illegitimate children whose molhtrs are known."As such, it exists at the present day. W h at is the conse­quence ? Simply that crime is hidden, not prevented.

The old ■■au‘-ige- iui 3 off at No. 477, the new pictures commence at 47c The arrang. i:i. nt having been taken away, the p j n-1',*™ *re retained. Mcesieurs of the Committee, you p '¿ht bare revised and renumbered yoar catalogue. It is s tut if a thing be worth doing, it is worthdor, n .‘■ eli.

A nor g the new pictures are two in the south room—505.“ Interior of Westminster Abbey ;" and 507, “ Interior of 8t.M irk,, Vrnice"—both by David Neal. These call for some­th ing more than pa-iing notice. The two pictures nre as distinct in tone and treatment as the two great structures arcdiff rc-it in their architecture and design. The solid massrs of St. Marks, with their broad openings and shallow curves, their «»verity of outline and their copiousness of pic­torial and chromatic embellishment, contrast with the lofty, forest-tree hafts and the florid stone ornaments in varied caprice of flower and bead or legendary device, and the pointed arch of the Qothic structure. So also the St. Mark is the dim religious gloom of a Bemi-oriental worship under a too-fervid sun, while the Westminster stands out in the cool tones of a climate in which the bright sunshine is a blessing. The Westminster, except for the gleam of sun­light that throws up the gray masses and enables us to ex­amine the the tombs and the screen of the bishops’ stalls and the rich iron-work of the middle ages, is colorless and void of contrast. It wants shadow and depth. Not even the p.irt¡-colored broken hues from stained glass give warmth to the time-stained stone. The very sim­plest treatment. The San Marco, on the other hand, is all lapi* lazuli, porphyry and precious marble, the many-colored tesselated pavement is almost translucent, while the effect of tho half light in throwing op the rich gilding of the cap­itals and the metallic lustre ot the lamps and bronzes and gold carvings is highly Rembrandtesque. Altogether, it is seldom that I hnvo seen as elaborately finished an in­terior, or in which fine perspective, careful details and mastery oflight and shade have been so conspicuous. In a few years this very able picture, when the gloss of new­ness shall have passed off, will be n valuable painting. As a special bit in tho picture, I would instance the great lamp pendent from tho lofty roof, the gleaming Instre of which and of tho brazen ball above it is cnriously faith ful; while the illusion of reflections from superposed or passing objects in the polished pavement is exquisitely rendered.

478, “ Death-bed of Daniel Webster” (Joseph Ames), is conventional. The painting is good, as Ames’ work usu­ally is, but the grouping and general treatment may be that o f any doatb-bed. The customary friends round tho head and sides of the bedstead, the open space in front so that tho spectator may see the dying man, and that dying man himself in an attitude of energy, as i f he wero addressing the assembled crowd rather than bidding them farewell before his journey. The lady and children at tho sido see in reproduced from Madame Bertrand in tho last moments o f Napoleon.

481, "Scone from the Ballad of the Outlaw Murray” (T.M. Joy), is bettor painted than chosen. There is nothing in the incident worth commemorating. The horses and knightly flguros aro well drawn and richly colored, but it is a pity so much ambition had not formed a better-known and more iiitolligible theme.

Among the old pictures, I would recommend to my readers' approving notice, Nos. 145 to 152, at the head of the stairs in tho corridor (Kouseman Van Elton). They are only BtudieB—summer wood and autumn tints, pool and waterfall, rock and bluff—but they will repay exami. nation, and, hotter still, purchase. Better those froe studies than a good many so-onlled finished plotures. They aro laid on with a dash, a grace and vigor that bespeak rich results if there bo only patlout care that shall work out tho first intention.

120, unother picture o f the last catalogue, “ Study o f a Moccnsin riant" (Miss M. L. Wagner), is another excel­lent beginning. Bold, spiritod drawing, with command of color and great delicacy and transparency in tho rioh tiuts of the blooms.

The Duchesse is a Swiss lady, Mrs. Cbolmeley an Englishwoman. They are both grandee dame*. endowed with great personal beauty anil excessively clever, not only in their art but in various mental accomplishments, and they are devotedly attached to the nrt which they prac­tice with such auccees. The young Duchesse Custiglioce Colonna is the widow o f an Itulian nobleman. Her concep­tion» are said to be singular and even eccentric in their originality, but wonderfully able and bold in execution. She signs her works simply “ Mureello.”

ON TH E HEAD OF V IRG IL.

FBOM DORE’S, “DANTE AND VIRGIL IN THE FROZEN REGIONS.’

“ God Is law, say the Wise, O b o u I , a n d let us rejoice,For If He thunders by law, the tbundor is yet His voice.”

When first we saw this head, we said with a shiver, O how cold, and thought we had never seen so fine an antique mask. But after more study o f that wonderful face, we said rather how sad, yet how wise, how groat a face, still how tired. W e studied it long, and then turned to the other parts o f this wonderful picture, but ever that face would attract us, and we could not resist its spell. Wo remember

sweet youth, seeing an illustrated edition o f Carey’s Dante, and as we turned over the leaves, we said, O, we know Dante meant to portray the world by his “ Inferno.” For through no visionary Hell did the stern and suffering man go. Yes, he had been in hell long enough iu sovore suffering, as the like o f him is prot.ty sure to bo. Now, when we saw this picture, our old idea recurred to us. It seems that by V irg il Dante possibly meant to shadow forth Christ; not that the assertion holds good at all points, but in very many it does. O what a face that o f tho Virgil is! I t approached as near as possible our idea o f tbo Christie's Consolator—so pitying, yet so godlike. The eyes may seem closed, but ouly seem. For yon teel that they do seo. They see God, so they aro not over much troubled at tho awful scenes around them—they look beyond, seeing into what baffled even tho angels—tho reason why o f tho myster­ious, yet just ways o f God's Sovereign W i l l ; blit thoy are not insensible, thoy pity as only Christ can pity, anil seeing tbis, I eamo to feel that Dante moaut to teach us a deeper lesson, than we at first ever dream of. Did not this stern suffering man moan that, though ho walkod through tho Valley o f the Shadow o f Death; yet having Christ for guide, no real harm oould approach him. (V ide Rom. V I I I , 31—39.)

Wo may learn, also, why he never faltered through all tho .Infernal anguish o f his l i f e ; for ho clung close to Christ, and never said, "G od is unjust," but, through nil, "God Is just." We, like Dante, hnvo our lives (our bolls) to go through. Wo manago to do so somehow; partly by oloslng our eyes to its manifold horrors, partly by tho aid of what even so wise a man as Pascal oould ouly dofine " as that irrepressible instinct whieli keops us from despair.” But oh, how few, like Duutc, dare faco their lives; audevou when " Tho soul is siok with overy day’s report o f wrong and outrage with which earth is fillod," still oliug eloso to Christ and say, “ God is just,” thus making this " comme- dias indeed divine." In this pioturo, the painter has placed a tender, pouooful light over tho head o f Daute and Virgil (wo say Christ). He hns paiuted better than ho knew, for Dante is with his Saviour the Light of the world, and lull o f " infornal anguish,” ub the way o f the " poor old exile” is. No real harm can touoh him, for " God is with him.” This is what "the head o f V irgil” has taught us. Would that it might bear not more blossoms only, but also fruit. Alus! wo have “ a sin o f fear” that it wiU be otherwise.

OUT-DOOR SPORTS.

t i i f . h a m , f i e l d .

The great White Stocking nine, of Chicago, lias come and gone, and the ball players o f New York and vicinity remain unconqnercd and unterrified. They came with a reputation a s terrible batsmen, and in the field their doings were re­ported to lie marvelous, while they were followed by a crowd o f hackers whose pockets had grown plethoric with their daily winnings. They nrrived in town on Saturday, July 2, and on Monday went over to the Capitoline grounds, Brooklyn, to engage in a contest with the Atlantics, the vete­ran holders o f the empty title o f champions. The visitors mil relied upon the field rigged out in a sort o f fancy circus toggery, lint held their heads high and looked with an eye of conscious superiority upon the more plainly and sensibly- clad Atlantics. The latter, however, proved to be workers, and before the game was half over had fielded and batted the life and spirit out o f the Chicago fellows, the final score standing 30 to 20 in favor o f Brooklyn. The ball used was one furnished by the White Stockings and was o f the order known ns “ lively,” sometimes called “ knuckle bisters,” “ nose liattcners,” “ skin barkers,” etc. The tourists brought along a whole trunk-full o f these missiles, and, being great batsmen, generally calculated to malm or kill two or three o f their opponents in a game and thereby secure an easy vic­tory. The halls are made very much as bullets were moulded in olden times. The rubber is melted, and when in a thor­oughly liquid state is poured into a mould, the interior o f which is just the size o f a regulation ball. When the mass becomes quite cool it is turned over to an artist who paints it white and similates the seams on an ordinary ball so accu­rately that the most critical umpire would be deceived. Tw o or three coats of paint and a final touching off and the ball is ready for use. In playing with some o f the Eastern clubs, however, the visitors found it necessary to stretch a cover over the rubber, the fraud being discovered in one or two cases.

On Tuesday, the 5th inst., the Chicagoes had a contest at the Union grounds with the noted Mutuals, o f N ew York, and, as the Western papers had it, “ the proud honor o f or­ganizing a club whom the Mutuals could defeat was reserved for Chicago.” The visitors were again beaten, this time by a scoro o f 13 to 4. The batting was light, because the Mu­tuals, being tbe challenging club, had the privilege o f furnish­ing a ball and used a dead one, that is, a fair regulation ball. The news o f this defeat o f their pets nearly broke the hearts o f the Chicago people, and the newspapers tried to cover up their chagrin by writing satirically about tbe whole affair! The TrVrune says, “ It ’s no matter, tbe White Stockings w ill thrash tbe gizzards out o f the Kankakee Club as soon as they get home, and thereby regain their lost prestige.” Wednesday was a day o f rest for the visitors, and Thursday they did no work, rain preventing their game with the Eckfords. On Friday they caught the Unions shorthanded and gained their first victory in this vicinity, the score standing 28 to 12. The contest came off at Tremont, and the pretty blue eyes of the young lady friends of the Union Club, from Morrisania, were wet witli tears o f regret and sympathy as they left the grounds. Birdsall, whose hands were in a terrible condition from having tried to catch a six-pounder common shot, just to keep in practice, while he was over at the Navy Y'ard, at Annapolis, the other clay, stood by, a sad and silent specta­tor of the defeat o f his forces.

On Saturday the Chicagoes tackled the amateur Stars, at the Capitoline grounds, and being assisted by Mr. Burns, o f the Rose Hill Club, managed to save another victory, the figures standing 0 to 0 at the close of the final inning. The visitors claim that they were badly treated both by the press and people o f New York ; but they could not expect any very flattering encomiums, ns they did nothing worthy o f mark, disappointed everybody, and everything here is measured by real merit. On Saturday night they left for the South, and reports o f their defents in Philadelphia and Washington wil now rench us by telegraph.

The Union Club, o f Morrisania, went off on a starring tour early last, week, but succeeded in winning no additional lau­rels. On Monday, July 4, they were in Washington and played the Olympics, experiencing defeat by a score o f 14 to5. The next day they engaged the once famous Nationals and came out the victors, the figures standing 34 to 13. In Baltimore they were defeated by the Maryland Club, on Wednesday, by a score o f 21 to 5, and on Thursday onother victory was credited to Morrisania bv^totals o f 26 to 23, a pretty close shave.

The only other event o f importance in the base ball world during the' week was the opening o f the Harvard tour. The young collegians have laid out work for the next month in nearly every city o f the Union, and as amateurs and gentle­men they carry with them the best wishes o f even* one. On the 4th o f July they began their work successfully by beat­ing their old opponents, the Yales, by a score o f '24 to 22 The next day they defeated the Rose Hill Club, o f Ford- ham. bv a score o f 17 to 2, and on the 8th inst. thev cut down tin' Haymakers at Troy, by a score o f 25 to 18. This victory was a ‘ very creditable one tor them, and i f they can only keep up thè style o f plav they exhibited in that trame, their need not despair o f making things hot for the Rod Stock- imrs.

The present week premises to lie a dull one in this vicin­ity. The Mutuals left town Sunday on a tour rv tondi ug »a far as t int innati, and Rockford, lib, while neither the Atlxn ties nor Unions have anv enirsgements o f importance The Athletics, o f Philadelphia, will also soon bo off on a South* rn and Western tour, so that base ball iu the East prom.»«» lo l>e dull lor soma time to come.

LIFE ASSURANCE.

light viable on aay aide, then they begin to know the value of life assurance to understand How different all things would have been hod he. who hod gone before, in­vested a few dollar», which could then easily have been spared, to secure for them that which, after his death, would have provided for them os it was his loving duty to do when living. The widow would not despair, but. gathering her little ones to her. would, with an overflow­ing heart, render thanks to God that her family need not be separated, that her children might yet follow out the bright careers she had pictured for them ; that means for the proper education of her sous and daughters were pro­vided. and that, although the head was gone, their pros­pects were unaltered and unharmed. How different the other scene, where the widow is left poverty-stricken and alone, nothing before her hut suffering and black despair, no hope for the little ones, temptation on every side, no strong hand to shield, no loving heart to advise, nothing in the futuie but grim want, perhaps worse. It is too terrible to .-ontemplate; let us pass it by.

PARDONING.

The New Jersey Court of Pardon* h»* juM turned three murderer* looae upon society, to wit ; Isaiah l>au, who wa» undergoing a twenty year»' sentence for murder ; JosephC. Morrison, a sentence of ten years, for murder in the second degree ; and Sarah Brown, twenty year», on a charge of poisoning. It would seem that all reforms are begun at the wrong end of the evil that require* to W remedied. When a desperate person has shown by his actions that he is neither a safe nor profitable mcmlter of society, it is a duty society owes itself to protect itself from his proclivities. If a person ha* once shown that he is capable of taking the life of another, he should never be allowed another opportunity to do so. If a person once shows that he is not inclined to cam his living honestly, but to plunder and filch from his brothers who are, lir should he compelled to proper modes of life. The inter­ests of society demand it, and no squeainishness about individual rights nor personal sympathy should have power to militate against the public good, which is always above the individual. The individual, with the law plainly before him, deliberately outrages the rights of an other; it is not only a right of society hut a stem duty to- protect itself from the possibility of ever suffering again1 from the same individual. There is no humanity in par doning a person from the sentence lie is undergoing ; it is a gross violation of the safety of society, because one who> has once violated its rights is turned loose to prey upon it again. It is notoriously true that most of the desperatu crimes committed are done by those who have served in, the penitentiaries one or more terms.

t ' card. with it» dm pie statement of doctrine. wrill be p«iwr»aed. and will t*», c ( the l«th o f July. 1>*°- The report U rviTtied from Earope, (in the Old A\ »ridl. and is «•■vniingly authentie. that on the 17th, the day fol­lowing i to-morrow i. the ceremonial and formal promulga­tion will be made at Rome of the new dogma of the |>er- toaal inlallibilitT of the Pope, as the head of the old, or Roman Catholic, Church.

As a champion o f pure intellect and tree thought, I am

unwilling that this imposing declaration ot personal and

arbitrary infallibility shall stand promulgated for a day.

f o r a sin trie hour e v e n . in the world, without l>eing met

and counterparted by the public ami formal assertion, in

some quarter, no matter how obscure for the time being,

o f the higher infallibility o f science and clear understand­

ing, or o f the demonstrations o f the reasoning faculty in

man. I hare chosen, therefore, the day previous to the

17th as the date o f this opposing declaration— to be certain

that there shall be no interregnum in the equilibrium o f

doctrinal affirmation.

These two antithetical conceptions o f infallibility are

the two opposite poles o f doctrine. The old Catholic

Church has never till now reached the legitimate conclu­

sion o f its own governing principle or inherent tendency,

never before made good the logic o f its own position, and

planted itself without reserve upon the extremity o f pos­

sible assumption In the direction o f absolute authority and

implicit obedience. It is meet, therefore, that this in­

creased leverage in behalf o f the force o f mental despot­

ism should be countervailed by an equal lengthening o f the

opposite arm o f the lever; and that science should openly

lay claim, in turn, to that special attribute o f infallibility

by which it is distinctively and pre-eminently character­

ized. While theologians, Catholic and Protestant, wrangle

over the how and the when o f the fulfillment o f the scrip­

ture prophecies, the prevision (which is prophecy) o f

■scienoe is unerring and unquestioned. The long-future

eclipse, a thousand years off, is calculated to the minute.

Now, in fine, for the first time, the doctrinal mentality

■of mankind is distinctly and finally polarized. The North

and the South Poles o f opinion have, so to speak, been

•discovered and respectively occupied as the outposts o f

possible procedure in either direction. A ll minor differ­

ences are absorbed in this absolute issue. Arbitrary author­

ity and blind submission on the one hand, fearless investi­

gation, freedom o f conscience, and conviction from demon­

stration, on the other hand! A ll mankind must come to

be ranged under one or the other o f these two banners, or

else, in fine, under some third banner o f the intellectual

reconciliation of these two contending powers o f convic­

tion ; but here, also, it is science only, when itself univer­

sal, that is competent to discover and tender this media­

torial alternative. In the meantime this distinct annunci­

ation o f the radical and ultimate polarity o f doctrine, the

final making up and statement o f the issue, is itself an

epoch. Rome and the Modem World o f Thought come

henceforth definitively and unequivocally in collision.

In view o f the crisis I pledge myself to continue to do

my uttermost to found that New Catholic Church o f the

future which shall define all issues and reconcile all differ­

ences, and which shall have as the sole article o f its creed,

Devotion to the truth (embracing the good), found where

it may be, and lead where it m ay; to the truth revealed, in

the predominent or governing degree, to the intellectual

understanding, and accepted by the intuition as the riper

and better rendering o f its own impulses and semi-intel­

lectual suggestions.St e p h e n P e a r l A n d r e w s .

-----------------------------------

Y oung R o w d yism is a most prolific liot-bed o f crime in this city. Perhaps there is no city in the world in which very young men and big boys are more given to license and disorder and less under control o f public opinion or police force than with us. Murder and plunder with these young rascals are a pleasurable excitement, and a cursory examination o f the police returns w ill show that almost every free fight begins in a rum shop and includes big b s among its more active promoters.

It i* Nvotning proverbial that our national representa­tive« are men o f small calibre, that can comprehend noth­ing larger than the State and often the districts they repre­sent. This is a primarv mistake in national legislation. While it i~ true that a particular district elects a particular person as its choice to represent it in our national councils, it is an error to suppose that he is to represent the special local interests o f his district to the detriment o f any inter­est o f larger character. These small ideas have to a great extent determined the legislation o f the country, and it is this system o f petty policy— this g iv ing away on this point to gain something on another— that diminishes the lustre o f our Government when considered from an exter­nal standpoint.

Our national characteristic is aggressive, and, being so from certain different controlling circumstances from those by which any other nation was ever controlled, renders us at this moment the central power o f the world. As this is determined by the common natural course o f events, small expedients and small men should not be tolerated in our national affairs. The education o f the people must teach them into broader views than the distribution o f the petty offices that are within their districts; should teach them into the comprehension o f our mission as a nation, which it has specifically, as every other great nation has had be­fore us. It is for us to arrive at this and then to guide our legislation and our intercourse with the world by its de­ductions.

Passive acquiescence in the conservative fastenings o f the world is no part for us to play in tlie grand drama that is being enacted by creation in the disintegration o f Govern­ments that is now so rapidly, though perhaps impercept- ably going on all over the Old W orld. Spain wras once a first-class power. N ow her throne goes begging, and even threatens to create a European complication to fill it, which complication may be the very event that shall pre­cipitate Europe into a struggle from which it can never arise with monarchy preserved intact. A ll these things indicate that the time is at hand wherein the most momen­tous events the world has as yet encountered are about to come upon it. Let us not as a people be so busied and blinded by the lesser affairs o f our nation as to be entirely unmindful o f the greater ones o f the world. I f they come upon us unawares we shall be swallowed up by them ; i f prepared, our position is sucli that we can control them. It is only required that we understand our mission and govern all our movements accordingly.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♦ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -NATIONAL BLUNDERS.

Our late war was either one o f the events arising out o f the order o f natural evolution or it was an enormous blun­der. W e have said it was the latter. Many who recog­nize no law or order in the progressive strides o f c iv iliza­tion, as represented by the comparatively new science o f sociology, deny both these propositions and affirm the war was purely the result o f personal motives entertained by those representing the pro and con o f the institution o f slavery. I f the matter is viewed from purely scientific standpoints each one o f these propositions are relatively true. The war was the direct result o f the growth o f the principles o f freedom in the general mind, which evidences that it did arise naturally out o f the condition, while the individuals that were foremost in advocacy and opposition were their representatives, and, thus considered, were res­ponsible for it. Those who stood by and observed the growth o f the conflict between the opposing forces, w ith­out stepping in to control the situation, place it altogether in the light o f a great national blunder. Had the circum­stances been controlled by this large third party the first proposition would have been true and still the war have been prevented. W e are obliged to speak relatively o f relative things, and to consider facts in a special sense and in this sense— the war was an enormous national blunder and should have been averted by a bold grasping and control o f the circumstances on the part o f the government, and those whose duty it was to have known what the result would be. These servants were faithless sentinels and allowed us to be precipitated into a wnr that cost us millions o f lives and billions o f treasure. How much better had Government shown itself competent to the situation had it raised armies and occupied the dis­affected country in force, and had abolished slavery as it was finally obliged to do. Such action would have been statesmanship o f the highest order, and would have been the admiration o f the ages.

It is a question for consideration whether our Govern­ment is not now pursuing a course similar to that which preceded the war, dodging along seeking to delay ques­tions that push themselves for settlement. It has no firm, decided national policy that represents the spirit o f the nation upon the questions o f the day. Congress is about equally divided in its lines o f policy and the President has no poliey outaide o f Congress, and so the nation floats

upon the waves o f the times, rudderless, liable at any mo­ment to blunder into difficulties it is now in its power to grasp and control in its own way.

SLAVERY REDIVIVUS.

The horrors o f African slavery scarcely exceeded the tortures endured by the white slaves o f New York, ns revealed in a series o f letters lately nddressed to the S un

newspaper. Whether these letters arc genuine, truthful narrations, or simply articles gotten up to secure the sale o f a sensational paper, we are not prepared to discuss. But the most casual observer must notice the cruel exac­tions made upon female labor by capital. It is a disgrace to the Christianity o f our age and country that some other modes o f reliet to this class o f sufferers has never yet been devised. Business rules o f course must he made and ad­hered to. But trades unions and working womens’ unions should he organized to define certain rules that employers w ill or w ill not conform to. Strikes in all branches o f business are sometimes as productive o f as much good in the moral and social atmosphere as thunder showers in nature.

Am ong the numerous charitable institutions o f N ew York why has not some great soul inaugurated a home for worn-out working women ? Often a poor working woman, without being sick, is actually in such an exhausted con­dition that she is forced to g ive up her employment or lie discharged as inefficient. The street is her only refuge in such a case, for all charities, except those for fallen women, receive only those applicants who are unable to work. Houses o f mercy and industrial schools for homeless girls are not expected to accommodate idlers, and absolute rest is what the poor worn out w orking women must have.

The cruelty and immorality o f our social system in regard to these unfortunates consists in the fact that as soon as a woman so situated can go to the M idnight M is­sion, the House o f the Good Shepherd or any such insti­tution, and confess herself a penitent Magdalen, she can find a home, shelter, rest, kind treatment and every con­sideration. N ow is not this monstrous? W e call our­selves a Christian, an enlightened and a progressive people. That Christianity, enlightenment and progress which can afford no sure succor to woman in her hour o f greatest need— hut actually pays her to prostitute herself and then repent— must he false, sensual, devilish.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Undoubtedly, there is much to he feared from the schemes that are afloat regarding our Government; and probably very much is going on that our correspondent has not yet suspected. True it is that many men—and women, too— in high places affect contempt for any return to the simplicity once displayed in the administration o f the Governm ent; and it must he admitted that there is a somewhat general tendency throughout the land to centralization o f power. Still, we hold that this is rather indicative o f an approach to the true form o f Democracy than to Imperialism. The People desire that the general Government shall possess power sufficient to produce harmony in all its machinery. A t the same time the forms o f application must be such as are for the best interest o f the public and not those the great few would prescribe for the millions. Strength not hearing this approval can never find permanent existence among us. It is our opinion that General Grant w ill accept the advice o f “ Traveler" when a “ camel shall go through the eye o f a needle," when a “ leopard shall change his spots" or the “ Ethiopian his color.” AY hen the common order o f nature is thus re­versed, it may become possible for him to be convince«! that his course should also change.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - a - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -T he F unding B il l , so far as the country is interest«'«!,

is based on the simplest suggestions o f financial produce. The term o f the high interest-bearing securities is drawing nearer every year. It is known that the liquidation ot such heavy obligations might he difficult to the State an«! inconvenient to capitalists; so the Government propose« to the public creditor the alternative o f l>eing paid o ff or o f accepting a lower rate o f interest. Noth ing ran l*c more equitable and more judicious. But selt-inlerest o f politicians and hankers blocks the way. The jw ip le should watch the course o f their representative« in this matter and see what the persistent opposition t«< the dimi nution o f public burdens means.

THE SITUATIO N IN EUROPE.

AV liether peace l»a maintained or not in Europe, tho mor- alist, and politician, and historian, have food enough for meditation ia tho extraordinary crisis through which the oldest civilization o f the world is passing at this fateful hour. It is not now a question merely of peace or war to tlinso whose business and function it is to sound the depths and significance of passing events. Tho positive issue, whether bloodshed at this juncture shall or shall not come ot tho struggle over tho dying body of Spain, that is of slight significance or consequence compared with tho real meaning o f tho position. W ar may or may not come at this moment. Hut he must he very blind or very ill-informed ns to tho long chain of historical causes which have led up to this moment a f peril, who does not understand that the whole system of Europe is nudormined and stored with combustible material, which, whet,her it bo fired or not at this moment, must eventually blow it to pieces.

We invite our readers, then, to put aside for a moment tho names o f Hohonzollern, o f Bismarck, o f Napoleon, of Prim, and all tho scandal side and gossip side of the situa­tion, and stand and look abont them a little wider. I f they will do this they will see that all these persons are but the creatures of the position which history has made for them, far more so, at. all events, than the originators and authors o f the present perplexities and troubles. And they will also be able to arrive at the true conclusion we have indi­cated, that, in the issue at this very moment, war or not, there is no possibility of averting a struggle of an inter­necine character between Germany and France in tho long run. Indeed, the only sound opinion about Europe is that unless some stronger power appear upon the stage o f his­tory capable of arresting the course o f her separate sover­eignties and nations by irresistible power, they are held and bound inextricably to a historical fate that compels them to struggle with each other in peace and in war until some end is arrived at, o f which we cannot now imagine the conditions.

world by the English family, the establishment of Italinn nationality, and the probable or imminent consolidation of German power uuder Prussian supremacy. M. Paradol does not, in so many words, avow that tho very existence ol Franco depends upon the maintenance of weak neighboring powers, on wliioh she can always wage successful war. But he uses language which shows that this thought was in his mind, and which might well be called cynical and atrocious bv any one who lins not grasped thoso fated conditions of history which we have pointed out to our readers. Tho writer declares that it is the most sacred duty o f any French Government to resist this sort of German consolidation. He goes tho length of avowing a conviction that tho very na­tional life of France Bhould be staked on such an issue. France, he says, ought to resist this consummation of Ger­man unity under Prussia, of German consolidation, until sbo lias expended her last man and lier last tranc. She ought, he intimates clearly, to perish in resisting tho forma­tion of this new Germany: W hy 1 Evidently because this keen and close student of his country’s history knows well enough that this now and irresistible Gorman power must furnish a barrier forever against Froncb invasion or domina­tion ; and so the one ground on which French factions have reconciled themselves and French Government has been possible for centuries, w ill be cut from under the feet of France; which will thus be driven, at last, to do what she has never yet succeeded in doing, create a domestic condi­tion which shall satisfy all classes of the community, if pos­sible.

I direct that mj name be inscribed In plain English letters on my tomb. * * * I enjoin my friends on no account to make methe subject of any monument, memorial, or testimonial whatever.• • • I rest my claims to the remembrance of my country nponmy published works, and >he remembrance of my friends npon their ex­perience of me In addition thereto. • • * I commit my soulto the mercy of God, thiongh our Lord and Saviour Jesns Christ, and I exhort my dear children to try and guide themselvee by the teaching of the New Testament in Its broad spirit, and to pnt no faith in any man's narrow contraction of Its letter.

“ In that simple bat sufficient hl-.h,” concluded the Dean, " Charles Dickens lived and died. Tn that fa'ih he wonld have yon all live and die also; and If any of yon have learnt from his works the eternal value of generosity, parity, kindness and unselfishness, and to carry them out In action, those are the best * monuments, memorials and testimonials which yon, his fellow-countrymen, can raise to his memory.”

W a s h in g t o n , July 11.— Ir is understood here, in quarters well informed, that a new move is contemplated on the part of the Executive on tbe Cuban question. It is said that the President, having been very bnraili-tingly foiled on St. Do­mingo atlairs, and also on the Wehster-Davis-Forhes Cuban job, has songht to escape the difficulty by a reluctant and distastefnl fraternization with the Hon. B. F. Butler. It is confidently asserted that as soon ns Congrrss adjourns the latter w ill step into tbe shoes o f Mr. Fish, no confirmation being required, and that President Grant and B. F. Butler will then move in favor o f Cuba, to make tardy political capital and to get compensition for what ought to have been realized out of the Sidney Webster-Davis-Forbes job fiist uncovered by the Sun, and afterwar 1 sufficiently ven tilated by .1.

Heart Disease, Scrofula, Con sumption, General Debility, and many others. By correcting the stomach, giving activity to the liver, and purifying the blood, the seeds of disease areeradicated, and tho simplest and surest way io gain this great end is to use the Alctic China Water, thomedicinal ingredients of which are not compounded by the hands of men, biu by God, who surely knows what is good for His creatures.

For Sea Sickness the Aletic China Water is the only known cure, and if taker before going on the water, will prevent that distressing and annoying malady.

As a mild aperient and corrective, it is far superior to Congress, Gettysburg, Seltzer, or Soda Water, and if taken oeforo meals, sharpens the appetito and strengthens the digestive organs.

W ith the June Number H a r p e r ' s M a g a z i n e en­tered upon its Forty-Jir*t Volume. Containing from fifty to oue hundred per ceut. more matter than any other monthly periodical, English or Amcricau, the Publishers have ample room to carry out their purpose o f securing for its readers the greatest variety o f mat­ter. A glance at the contents o f the present Number shows that, while all the old and established features which have made the Magazine so popular hitherto are retained, yet no subject o f popular interest is ex­cluded from its pages. Tw o Historical Papers : two o f Literary Reminiscence ; two treating o f Social L ife— in one case as seen on an ocean steamer, and, in the other, as found in an out-of-the-way valley among the mountains o f Ohio; a paper on Rupert's Land and its People, and another on the Running Turf o f America ; two Serial Stories—one o f them il­lustrated: three brilliant Novelettes; Mrs. L. E. F ur- k is s * pleasaut social sketch o f Modern F lirta tion ; an interesting chat about Canes and Fans: and four Poems o f characteristic force and beauty—together with the five special Editorial Departments— make op the cod tents o f this Number, comprising an amount o f reading matter larger than is contained in a vo l­ume o f Macaulay's History. Regarding the literary excellence, the variety and the attractiveness o f its contents, and the timeliness o f its occasional article* bearing on current topics, the Publishers o f H a r p e r ' s M a g a z i n e may confiaently challenge for it compari­son with its previous record, and claim that it is ful­filling the promises which they have made in the pasL
