THE DAILY EVENING 'TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1868. 3 The Lire of a louf. I. TBS BUD. Clone within a downy cover Hare At rest I lie, Half awake and half in slumber While the storms go bf. Sometimes vague impatient strivings Stir my life within; Hopes of Imion something worthy, Longing to begin. Then again a soft contentment Uroodeth o'er my state; When the time comes I am ready; Until then I wait. II. THE LBAFLKT. Is this then life ? 'Tis glorious, so fair ! The solt sweet breezes playing round our Dent, The Summer fragrance growing everywhere, The happy birda low cooing in their nest. What meant the fear with which we put on life f It is all good, and hope comes after joy; Come anything in this delightsome strife, Storms cannot daunt us, sunshine cannot cloy. III. SUMMER LEAP. Kiss me, kiss me, kiDgly sun, Till I glow with crimson light, Till along my veins shall run Liquid lustre glistening bright. Iet thy touch so piercing sweet Hold me clone and thrill me through, Till I faint with lauguM heat, Till for rest from thee I sun; Iftar nie not, O king of light ! It me die within thy sight. IV. AUTUMN LEAF. I wonder what has vanished from the world; It was so bright a little while ago, And now we leaves upon the brauuues curled Hang wearily, just swaying to aud fro. The sun shines on, the crnel biting sun; He will not vail one smile to ease our pain: What matter that, so his great course is ruu 1 The subjects sutler, but the king must reign, We are too weary even to complain. V. FAI.LF.tf. The desperate clutch at the last weak hold Grows looser aud looser and looser; The dizzying leap into depths untold Comes closer and closer aud closer. Quivering, shivering, Drawn troua below, Where shall we vanish to ? How shall we go ? Leaving the upper air, HaviueS8 everywhere, Fallen on dull despair. Here we lie low. VI. ASLEEP. Let roe sleep, it is so sweet to slumber, All of sweetness that remaineth still; Swift the drenching rains and frosts of winter Rid the earth of worn-out things of ill. It may be some good there was within us May survive this discipline of pain; May not die, but change its outward sub stance, May revive in other leaves again. The English House or Lords. HOW THE I'EEKS AKE INDIFFERENTLY REGARDED. Itondon Correspondence of Boston Post. The House of Lords has so far faded out of public attention that it stands a chance ere loDg of having its debates known only in their tendency. For a loDg time past only three of the daily papers have professed to treat the upper House npon the same footing in this leepect as the Commons, aud the three have now declined to two. 1 believe it is literally the fact that the Daily A'e.ws, the Stur, and the 'Jtlfyraph, each have one reporter to deal with the House of Lords as he thinks fit, while in the Commons nine or ten reporters on each journal follow each other in quick euccession. Indirectly, this fact Bays much lor the altered fetliug towards the House of 1'eers. It is felt that the discussions amongst the Dukes, Fail?, aud Marquises are bo feeble and conversational, that it was a waste of re sources to put six or seven writers into their gallery to record the remarks that were made. The only occasions on which I have visited the House of Lords this year have served to encourage a lower estimate of their cervices. A few elderly gentlemen gossip to gether for half an hour, one of them now and then risiDg, and altering his tone into the or thodox Bound of a.speech, but really changing Lis observation in very little else. The Irish Church question must serve presently to stir them up, and we shall have set orations from the Tory Lords, and several semi-discourses from the lnshops; but these spasmodic out bursts but make the ordinary silence the more perceptibly felt. The day is coming when the House of Lords will be transformed, so far as its legislative power is concerned, into an eleo tive, not an hereditary senate an assembly Selected from the honest as the rich, the mtel liceut as the ignorant; in which property will cease to be the necessary title. The first step will be the creation of peers for life; aud if the Lords oiler stubborn resistance to the me a sures of the next House of Commons, this proceeding is tolerably certain of being adopted. There are certain members of the House of Loids who render something in return for their dignity I mean the law lords. To have to hear Scotch appeals on a broiling hot sum trier's day is a duty which some men would feel was insufficiently remunerated by a title hen there is a debate in the Lommoui on any question of Scotch law it is left to the Scotchmen themselves. A discussion in Ureek would be much more intelligible to the mass of the members. Probably this will alays reiruia to, for Scotch lawyers believe that their jurisprudence, its outlandish jargon in eluded, is the finest in the world. To show liontou readers what Kuglish law lords have to fuller, I subjoin a Scotch rule cited to the House of Lords last week during the hearing of an appea case: "It is always declared that such tailzies shall only be allowed in which the forsaii irritant and resolutive clauses are insert in the procu rators of resignation, charters, precepts, ami instruments of saesing; and the original tailzie once produced before the Lords of bession judi tially. who are hereby ordained to interpose their authority thereto, and that a record be made in a particular register book to be kept for that etlect, wherein shall be recorded the names of the maker of the tailzie and the aires of tailzie, and the geueral designations of the lordbbips aud baronies; aud the provisions and conditions contained in the tailzie with the forsaid irritaut and resolutive classes Bub joined thereto, to remain in the forsaid register, ad ptrjirluam rc.i memnriam, ami for which record there shall be paid to the Clerk of Register and his deputy the same dries as paid lor the registration of oeasings; and which provisions aud irritaut clauses shall be repeated in all the subsequent conveyances of the said tailzie; and being so insert, his Majesty, with advice and consent forsaid, declares the samine to the real and ettectual not only apainst the contraveneers and their lures, but also 2inBt tlielr creditors, com- priiers, adjadgers, and other singular suc cessors whatsoever, whether by legal or oon ventionaVtitles." A pension of 6000 a year cannot be too jnnch for an ex-Lord Chancellor, who is ex pected to master phraseology of that kind. NIA QARA SHIP CANAL. A Blftalflraat Stat.m.at f tk New &BlaBt aad Waster Dintid, From the Chicago Tribun. We find in the Boston Advertiser an elabo rate article showing ths vital importance to Boston and New England generally of the early completion of a ship canal around the Falls of Niagara. The article is replete with interest, and gives fa;ts, the full force of which are beginning to impress the New Kng land people seriously. The gradual falling away of loreign trade under our system of fearlnl taxation, and the overwhelming in crease of domestic commerce, have had a wonderful effect upon the seaboard cities. The lakes, the rivers, and the railroads of the interior are the agents of a commerce to which a score of seaports are not essential. New York has attracted the great bulk of the foreign trade, and its recovery by Boston is conceded to 'be out of the question. New York' lies between Boston and the West, and her pros perity is largely due to the Krie Canal. But a ship canal around the Falls of Niagara has become indispen sable to accommodate the Western com merce. New York has blindly refuse 1 to enlarge her canals or to make them free. The West has to be taxed for transporta tion to a point that almost admits of foreign grain at competitive prices. If the trade of the West cannot find its way by rail or ca nal, at reasonable rates, to the Atlantic, it must find the other and the most natural route, and that is by the St. Lawrence. With out in any way suggesting that the territory on both Eides of the St. Lawrence, from its mouth to its source, be made part of the American Union one moment sooner than that marked out by fate for that event, we may state that the necessities of Western commerce for an ontlet to the ocean render the acquisi tion of British America at some time inevita ble. The country will never consent that American commerce shall pass down the St. Lawrence in a foreign territory, any more than it would consent, sixty years ago, that the Mississippi should flow through foreign soil. The writer in the Adverlisr gives some rea sons why the St. Lawrence must become the highway for Western products. 90,000,000 btihhels of wheat were moved from Chicago and other Lake Michigan ports in 18G7. In addition to these, Chicago, in the same year forwarded: H or. bbla fiVUMO Polk. bUlS 3YUIK) Hetf. l)l)N 3J ODD ilam, bbls ..... 1,50(1 The ret ult of this vast trade ha3 been to produce a commercial navy on the lakes, which is compared with that of New York and Boeton, as follows: "NEW YOUK, 1807.

This trade is increasing with rapid progres sion, the present lake commerce being the growth of the present generation. The average lost of moving a bnshel of corn from Chicago to New York in 1807, by lake, canal, and liver, was thirty-three cents and two mills. It cost five cents additional to take it to Boston. The cost of moving corn by rail from Chicago to the seaboard is one and a half pur cent, per mile, which is calculated at 45 cents per buthel. But the crops can never be moved by rail. One UOO-ton vessel can carry as many bushels as 100 freight cars. It is estimated that the cost of conveying a bushel of grain from Chicago to Boston via a canal around the Falls of Niagara and the St. Lawrence river will be thirty cents. It is estimated that a direct commerce between Chicago and Boston would thus spring up which would be more profitable to Boston and to the navigation in terest than the foreign trade, which is now mostly lost, ever was. Low fr ights would make Boston a market for Western products, and New Fngland manufactures will find a market in the West. This view is thus summed up: -"We have endeavored to show some of the benefits that would result to the commerce of Boston from this canal; but equal good would come to the manufacturing interests of New Fngland a great market would be open for goods which are now prohibited by high li eights, and in the redaced price of food which would follow this work, her operatives would be placed more on a level with those of hurope. ihe cheapening of the food of a nation is generally a difficult problem to solve in this case it is simple and easy, and the process carries with it many collateral ad van laces. Boston commerce and Boston trade are on (he decline; the decline of Boston is the de cline of all New England, and until a measure becomes essential to the benefit of New hue land and Boston, it has no merit? according to the system or political economy which pre vails Kast of the Hudson. A ship canal around the Falls of Niagara is a direct necessity. Its lion construction is an annual charge of from ten to twenty cents per bnshel upon all grain of the West moved to the East. Supposing that sum to be paid by the consumers, then it has tten to much added to the cost of the bread aud n eat of the people of the Eastern States. They Lave enjoyed the luxury of paying ten cents per bushel extra for their corn aud wheat, and, in proportion, for their flour, beef, pork, lard, aid other Western products, in order to lerpetuate the monopoly of transportation in the Erie canal. It is no longer, however, a question of extortion; it is a question of capa city. The caual aud the railroads combined are not equal to the task of moving the Western erops to the Atlantic, ihe additional high way mubt be furnished, and very soon Private enterprise and capital will flud it to be a source of profit, and private enter prise and capital may yet transfer from the Atlantic to the St. Lawrence the united centre of the foreign and domestic commerce of the United States. The new Catholics of Vienna and vioinity have orgauized under the ministration of the Rev. Karl August Forstner, aud put forth a long confession of faith. They renounce alle giance to tbe l'ope and the bishops of the Catholic Church, and will hold all their ser vices in the language of the people. The Rev.
