Vittoria Colonna, from "Michael
Angelo."
Parting with friends is temporary death,
As ail death is. Wo see no moro their
faces,
Nor hoar their voices, save in memory ;
Hut messages of love giro us assurance
That we aro not forgotten. Who shall say
That from the world of spirits comes no
greeting,
No message of tomeraberance ? It may bo
The thoughts that visit us, wo know not
whence,
Sudden as inspiration, are the whispers
O! disembodied spirits, speaking to us
As friends, who was outside a prison wall,
Through the barred windows speak to
those within.
As quiet as the lake that lies beneath
tne,
As quiet as the tranquil iky above me,
As quiet as a heart tliat li.-nt* no more,
This convent seems. Above, below, ail
peace !
Silence and solitude, the soul's best
friends,
Aro with mo here, and the tremulous
world
Makes no moro noi.-e thin the rene te t
planet.
<) gentle spirit, unto the third circle
Of heaven among the I .J >ui n
cended,
Who, living in the faith ami dying f ■ r it.
llaro gone to their reward, !<'> nu ;li
For thee us being dead, h it f r nn -• If
That I am still alive. Turn th oi d<nr
eyes,
Once so benignant to rne, upon mine,
That open to their tears such uncontrolled
And such continual Issue. Still awhile
Have patience ; I will come to the at last,
A few more goings in and out these do. rs.
A few more chiming* of these convent
bells,
A few moro prayers, n few more sigh* and
tears,
And the long agony of this Hf,. will end,
And I shall be with thee. If lam want
ing
Tii thy well-being, as thou art to mine,
Have patience ; I will come to the at last.
Ye minds that loiter in these cloister gar
dens,
Or wander far above the city walls,
Ib-ar unto him this message, that i ever
Or speak or think of hmi.or weep f r
him.
By unseen hands uplifted in the light
Of unset, yonder solitary cloud
Floats with its white apparel blown
abroad,
And wafted up to heaven It fab" away •
And molts into the a.r. Ah, would that I
Could thus be wafted unto the, Krar. ,
A cloud of white, an incorporeal spirit '

THIEVES—AJTD" BOBBERS.
He who takes by stealth what he
longs to another isa thief; he whotakes
by violence what belongs to another is
a robber. The robber is properly sup
posed to disappear, with other predato
ry animals, before the progress of civ
ilization ; but this is a superficial judg
ment. The force that unlawfully de
prives men of their property pn.-.ns
through many transformations, but no i
force is more persistent. Men ore
plundered nowadays in America far
more frequently and flagrantly than
in England in the daya ' of Robin I
Hood : there arc men among us he
sides whose robberies those of the bri
gands of Italy and fJrecco and the
Bedouins of the desert are mere pleas
antries. Of all the triumphs of inven
tion nono are more wonderful than ;
those by which the hard earned gain*
of millions are forcibly conveyed to
the vaults of the robber-princes. No
business is more highly organized,
more strenuously pursued, more suc
cessfully managed than the busint ss of
robbery. Yet, under all this elabora
tion of method, it is robbery, nothing
worse nor better.
The peculiarity of the modern
method of robbery is the employment,
hy the robbers, of the State a* their
enforced agent and accomplice. Some
times, but not often they organize their
clients ami retainers into armed hands
and seize the coveted booty, combining
to have the State confirm pos- --ion.
But the force on which they prefer to
rely is the quiet and resistless force of
the laws and the courts. By artfully
contrived legal schemes tbev constrain
courts to do their bidding. The jiidg.*
may be willing instruments, yet they
are hound to sanction, impartially, the
working of legal processes. But what
shall we say when weak or corrupt
judges hasten to legalize schemes liv
which great corporations are wrecked
or rehabilated as suits the purposes of
the conspirators ?
Of the gigantic fortune now held
in this country, not a few have been
gotten by legal robbery. Twenty
years ago our millionaires could be
counted almost on the fingers of four
hands. Today this enumeration
• would carry us into thousands. Kince
the new system of robbery was perfec
ted, about twenty men have amassed
fortunes, which, taken together, ex
ceed the debt of the nation. Twenty
years ago many of these men were
poor. Home of the new millionaires
have grown rich honestly, but some of
them have led a raid ujK.n the produc
tion and the accumulated wealth of
the country. Bo Napoleonic iu its
boldness and success has been the
method of the master robbers, that
rich men of better instincts have been
dazzled by it, and have adopted it
openly and independently, or have lent
indirect cooporation ami social credit
to the robber chiefs and have shared in
the plunder. Men of honorable repu
tations, who have been crowned with
public honors,have countenanced these
crimes as affording the surest way of
adding to their unsatisfying fortunes
of ten, twenty, or even thirty millions.
It is by no means our purpose to throw
discredit upon the pursuit of wealth.
, Honest production and tho honest
gains of wealth that is employed in
the service of society arc the bulwarks
of civilization. But we do say that
exnmples of private greed aro sapping
I the sources of public honor; examples
of gigantic and countenanced robbery
j arc undermining the foundations of
; public morality and corrupting the
national character.
Our legislators have failed to see, or
■ for private and corrupt reasons, have
i winked at the fact, that the laws which
1 were made to fit old-fusliioucd ideas of
honor and morality, instead of protect*
iug the public, are tho strength and
| the protection of dishonest men. The
| old code of commercial honor is lost
' sight of in the complex transactions
j of stock-jobbers, who remain out of
sight while their work is being done
I by conscienceless factors; by lawyers
i skilled in discovering loop-holes in the
! and in juggling with the law ; hy lob
; hies with money at the doors of legis
latures; by paper shares ami paper
j promises to pay ; by cipher messages i
: ami spies, and hy abusing the facilities
, of stock exchanges.
It is well thai our legislators are j
j making at lenst the show of inquiring
into the methods by which the public
i* robbed in the interest of stoekhol- .
■ li-rs, und thev, in turn, are robbed liv
corporate managers; by which whole- !
-ale robbery is cloaked with legal form*
of "consolidation," "reorganization,"
"receiverships," and "wartered stock";
hv which men may safely conspire to
pervert the natural course of produc
-1 lion and trade, and rob the public bv
the artifice of "corners"; hy which a
man is allowed to control rival <r ,
double -vstems of railway*, and with
impunity array one against the other,
as -nits his varying purpose, thereby
despoiling the public with the ca- J of
! a gambler playing with marked cards.
What have the people to -av about
these practices ? They do not apjx-ar,
as vet, to have anything to say. The
robber princes are held in high •• teem.
They go about the colleges, some of
them, and IWtors of Law and Doc
| tor of Divinity grovel at their feet;
jif any Mordccui lias refused to how
down before them, hi- name has not
been reported. Men whose ri lies j
1 have been increased by sp tiling their
neighbors are held up ns shining ex
ample* for the imitation of our youth.
So long as teachers of morality silent
ly indorse such iniquities,it i* not to be
i xpected that the people will cry out
against them. But the day is sure to
come when plain men will clearly see
that no one man can get with clean
hands, in an ordinary life time, a hun
dred million dollars; that such an
enormous pile, so suddenly collected,
must be loot, not profit. "I hat will be j

American-Mexican Treaty.
I /VaU Gmehmtni Rttektd ly it*
I'' mmiAJtion.
; WABHINOTON, January l H. —The
: International Commi.—ion appoint. I
to negotiate a commercial treaty be
tween the United Htetee and Mexico
hn* held meetings at tin Stale Depart
ment every day thi* week, and ha
made very satisfactory progress in its
work.
From a well-informed source it i
learned tlint a free li-t hn- been agreed
upon, which, although it doe- not
greatly increase the number of artic
le* already imported free into the
I nitcd States from Mexico, docs nev
ertheless, remove n number of unnec
essary duties. Among the nrtieles
upon whose free importation Mexico
lays particular stress i* sugar not
j above No. 10 Dutch standard in col
or. This i* sought not so much with
I a view to the immediate imjiortation
!of such sugar from Mexico into tlie
United State* as for the purpose of
■ encouraging and developing the cul
ture of cane and the manufacture of
sugar in the former country.
In the six years during which the
treat i* to continue in force it is hard
ly possible, in the opinion of the Mex
ican representative, that the cxporta
tion of sugar from Mexicoshnuld reach
any very considerable proportions. At
the same time the development of su
gar manufacture in connection with
| the free admission of agricultural im
plements and machinery from the
United States would give free play to
an irnjKirtfint Mexican industry and
lie reciprocally beneficial to both conn
-1 tries.
The list of articles to be importer!
i free of duly from the United State*
into Mexico ha* been considerably en
larged. Among other things there
t have been added to it |ietroleum, crude
• and reffned, for illuminating purpose*;
- machinery, agricultural implements,
i tools for artisans, and houses made of
' iron and wood.
t A provision has been virtually
agreed upon which will relieve the
. commerce of the United Htale* from
t the transit duties which have hereto
. foro been imposed upon good* passing
from Btute to State within the Repub
lic of Mexico.
It it* intimated, furthermore, that a
provision will probably ho agreed upon
to permit the transportation of com- j
modities from the United States to
Mexico and from Mexico to the United
States under tint terms of this treaty
in ships owned by the citizens of eith
er Republic which have h en built
within the territory of either, luoth
ler words, to allow trade bet we* n the j
! two countries under the treaty to be
carried on in ships built in the United
States and bought by a citizen of Mex- i
ico or built in Mexicoaud bought by
a citizen of the United States.
Other important provisions are un
der consideration, but it is believed '
that they have not taken final shape.

large families seldom succeed as whis- j

"We would keep carriage* if we never

these whisperers happen to meet, they
stir a caldron that makes me think of
i the three witches of "Macbeth," danc

dark cave. I have more respect for a
