Every morning is the world made new,
You who art- wcarv o( sorrow ami sinning,
Here is a beautiful hope for you ;
A hope for me ami a hope for you.
All the past things are past anil over,
The tasks are done and the tears are shed,
Yesterday's errors let yesterday cover:
Yesterday's wounds, which smarted and bled,
Are healed with the healing which night
has shed.
Yesterday now is a part of forever,
Bound up in a sheaf which God holds tight,
With gjad days, and sad days, and bad days
which never
Shall visit us more with their bloom and
their blight,
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrowful night.
Let them go, since we cannnot releive them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in his mercy forgive, receive them ;
Only the new days are our own,
To-day is ours and to-day alone.
Here are the skies all burnished brightly.
Here is the sj>ent earth all re-boru;
Here are the tried limbs springing lightly,
To face the sun and to share with the morn
In the chrism of dew and the 000 l of the
dawn.
Everv day is a fresh beginning:
Listen, "my soul, to the glad refrain,
And spite of old sorrow and older sinning,
And puzxles forecasted and possible pain,
Take heart with the day, and begin again.

Reported Massacre ill Corea.
And Story »! the Treaty with
Tliis Country Which ltd to it.
Telegrams received in London a few
days ago from the East, stated that
the trouble in Corea had culminated
in a general insurrection, and that
both the King and Queen had been
assassinated. The Japeuese Legation
was attacked, and Japanese war
ships have been sent to the ports of
the country. The success of Com
modore Shuffeldt in negotiating a
commercial treaty between Corea and
the United States, encouraged the
Japanese to attempt to open the
country to commerce with them.
This was resented by the anti-foreign
party of the country and the insurrc
tioa and massacre have been the re
sult. Corea is a country were massa
cres of terrible magnitude have taken
place during the present generation
owing to the religious prosecutions
caused by the success of missionaries
in making converts. China has cer
tain suzerain rights in the peninsula,
but Russia has made several efforts to
obtain control of the northern section.
A fanatical hostility to foreigners has
always been a characteristic trait of
the Coreans.
TIIE STORY OF TIIE TREATY.
A correspondent who took part in the
United States expedition wrote the
following account of it:—Projecting
from the northest coast of Asia and
stretching out to the southward and
eastward, between the waters of the
Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea, is a
large pininsula, whose people, after a
policy of non-intercourse, which, ac
cording to themselves, has lasted for
4,000 years, have to-day opened their
gates "to the commerce and civiliza
tion of the West. And here, as in
Japan, the United States have been
the first to overcome the barriers
which for so many centuries have kept
them a secluded and peculiar people.
Few, even of well informed people,
know more of this peninsula thau that
it is called Corea, and that its interior
appears on the maps very similar to
the interior of Africa—a great blank.
Through the Dutch, who for years
had a settlement at Nagasaki, Japan
was far better known when Commo
dore Perry anchored his ships on her
coast and by a display of a happy
combination of firmness and tact suc
ceeded in forcing upon her reluctant
people a civilization of which to-day
they cannot get enough. Corea has
been literally a "foibidden land."
familiarity has bred for its people
none of the contempt that familiarity
invaribly does breed for the Asiatic in
the minds of all foreigners. They are
represented as tall and athletic in person
with complexions much lighter than
those of the Chinese, and as wearing
full beards and mustaches. They are
said to be haughty aud domineering
in their manuer toward strangers, but
pourteous and dignified, although
somewhat grave, in their intercourse
with friends. They are reported as
brave and warlike, and even cruel in
their dispositions. Their country is
described by some as overflowing
with plenty, by others as poor and
sterile; their mountains as glistening
with precious metals, and their King
as possessed of fabulous revenues.
Men-of-war anchoring or surveying on
their coasts have been warned off and
fired upon. A peaceful trading ship
ascending ope of their r.yers was
burned, and her crew murdered.
Homan Catholic missionaries alone
have effected anything like an entrance
into their country, and they and their
converts have at intervals fallen
sacrifice to their caprice or passions
of the rulers. Tc-day the gates of
this terra incognita are thrown upon to
the United States.
It remained for Commodore £»hu
felcjt qqtwithstanding his t* r o unsuc
cessful visits to Corea, which impress
ed him strongly with the fact that the
country must soon either be opened
peacefully or taken possession of by
some one of the great powers, to throw
down the remaining barriers and in
duce those backward people 10 enter
the family of nations. Thoroughly
familiar with the methods of Eastern
diplomacy and knowing the working
of the Celestial mind almost byjintui
tion, snd (perhaps above these) endow
ed by nature with a commanding
peresence and a kindly, courteous
manner exactly calculated to impress
the always suspicious Oriental with
respect aud confidence, he was emi
nently fitted for his task. After his
return home in tha Ticonderega he
went to China, where after some de
lay he succeeded in inducing Li Hung
Chang, the practical ruler of the
Chinese Empire to interest himself in
his plan of opening Corea. Prom
here copies of the proposed treaties
were transmitted to that country.
On the Bth of May, 1882, he left
Chef >o in the United States steamer
Swatara, Commander Cooper, for
Corea, anchoring three days afterward
in the Salie River, west Coast of Corea,
and finding there before him three
Chinese and one Japanese man-of-war,
one of the former having on board
Ma Taotai, who had been appointed
by Li Hung Chang as an intermedi
al in the negotiation of the treaty.
On the 14th two commissioners,
appointed by the King, visited the
ship, attended by a numerous suite.
As they came on board a mandarin's
salute of three guns was fired in their
honor. The senior of the two com
missioners was a yery old man, Shin
Chen, president of the royal Cabinet of
Corea. .Although, as far as I could
see, he was perfectly courteous he ap
peared to me as though he did not
think much of makiug treaties and as
if he might be mentally consigning us
all to—any place but Corea. Ilis
tottering footsteps, supported by his
son at one elbow and grandson at the
other, and his long, white beard
made him, as he ought to have been,
the most conspicicus member of the
party. His complexion was much
lighter than that of the Chinese and
the general expression of his face
pleasiug, notwithstanding the look of
impatience which often passed over it.
He was dressed in a long, flowing,
wide sleeved robe of white brocade
gauze, with an under robe of pink
silk showing through. His hat and
belt were his ensignia of office and
they were unique. The former was of
finely woven horse hair, conical In
shape and having eliptieal-shaped
wings standing out on each side. The
belt was square and stood away out
from the body in front and behind.
It was made in sections of polished
moss agate on a dark blue ground.
Ilis manner of saluting as he come on
board, and as I afterward found to be
the manner among the people, was by
raising the hands and bringing them
together before the face. The second
of the commissioners was very young,
only twenty five, anu his round,
beardless face was strikingly in con
trast to that of his chief. His card
pronounced him Chin Hung Tse,
Member of the Royal Cabinet. He
was short and stout and had a very
bright, intelligent face. His dress
differed in no respect from that of the
old man, except that it was of differ
ent colors and that his belt was of red
diamond shaped stones on an amber
ground.
The third in rank of our visitors
was the Court Chamberlain, and he
was to me the most interesting one of
the party. He was a tall, slender,
saturnine looking man of about forty,
whose perfect non-chalance among so
much that must have been new and
startling to him would have done him
credit in any society in the world.
He evinced none of the eager Jcuriosity
that rather detracted from the dignity
of the others, and with his regular
features and olive complexion would
either have escaped notice or been
taken for a Spaniard had he been
dressed by a fashionable tailor and
dropped in a New York sa-on.
All of the party except the two
commissioners were of good height,
and with complexions that were as
nearly as possible a mean betwe en
those of the Caucasian and Mongo
lian. Their eyes were of different
degrees of obliquity, some being as
slanting as those of the Chinese, while
others were nearly if not quite straight.
Their profiles were much more prom
inent than those of the Chinese, some
aquiline noses even being observed,
never, I believe, found among the
Chinese.
While the commissioners were in
the cabin one of the servants who re
mained loitering about outside ad
dressed the officer of the deck in
pigeon English informing him that he
had spent several years in Vladivos
tok and that he spoke Russian well.
He proved very communicative,
answering all of our questions freely
and, as I afterward had some reason to
believe, falsely. His name, he said,
was Mitri.
After the reception in the cabin,
where the'conversation was carried on
in Chinese, several of the Coreans
speaking that language fluently, the
crew was sent to quarters at the beat
of the drum and a short exercise had
for their amusement with the eight
inch rifle, a blank charge being fired
from it. As they left the ship another
salute of three guns was fired in their
honor.
On the day following this visit, per
mission having been granted, several
of us landed on a small rocky island near
the ship from the summit of which we
expected to get a good view of the
surroundiug country. VVe climbed at
once to the top and were amply re
warded for our exertions, for the view
was one the prettiest imaginable. Six
or eight hundred feet below us lay a
little Gshing village, whose existence
was until now unsuspected by us
(as it lay on the opposite side of the
islaud from the ship), with a long
curving white beach before it, on
which thp receeding tide had left three
ov tour of their curious looking junks.
Beyond and separated from the island
by a narrow arm of the river lay the
"forbidden country," and forbidding in
deed it did look at first glance, with
its long yellow hills which seemed to
meet in maze in the horizon ; but a
closer inspection revealed well trodden
paths leading up the valleys, with here
and there a clearing, surrounded by
fields of waving grain and rice paddies,
and near each we could see the straw
roofs of the houses gleaming
through the surrounding jtrees in the
midday sun. On our left was the
river, which disappeared in the dis
tance behind the hills We tried to
pick out the hill from which the forts
had fired upon our launches only
eleven years before, and to imagine
ourselves viewing thit subsequent
charge up the hill. Various specula
tions were indulged in as to the future
in store for Corea, the prevailing
opinion seeming to cast a somewhat
dark horoscope for the next few years,
during which time she will be assailed
by men with treaties in their hands
! from c very country on the globe, and
I who will say that the men with the
treaties will not bring the present
generation more of trouble and bumili-'
ation than ever llideyoshi with his
two sworded men ever brought their
ancestors f
Maury on Tornadoes.
'Out of the south cometh the whirl
wind,' observed Elihu, the Buzite, as
he lectured the afflicted Job several
thousand years ago, and Mr. T. B.
Maury, discussing upon 'Tornadoes
and their causes' in the September
number of the North American Re
view, thinks that this is no less true
la lowa than in the land of Uz. TLe
hot air of the torrid zone is always as
cending, pressed upward by the heavier
air from the north and south. This
warm upper air finds its level by fi >w
ing toward either pole. Tig M s-is.
sippi Valley, according to Mr. Maury,
is a grand continental highway in sum
mer for this anti-tradewind, which
moves forward as an upper atmospheric
force at a high velocity, and is deflect
ed by the slower motion of the earth
to the north east. Below this current
is the surface vapor laden tradewiod
diverted northward from the gulf) In
the same pathway lie# the eourso of
the polar winds From the Rocky Moun
tain plateau, and from the impinging
and conflicting of currents arise
the terrific aerial disturbances known as
cyclones, but more properly called tor*
nadoes.
It is evident that whatever eddies
and disturbances are caused by the
contact ol the descending equatorial
current with the surface wind moving
in substantially the fame direction,
the big storms arise w ben the deflected
upper air current meets a cold wind
moving toward the equator. The re
sult is a violent rotary movement of
the central vortex, maintained by ex
cessive condensation and precipitation
of ascending aqueous vapor. The
column of gyratory air is like a tall flue
containing very rarefied air, the cen
trifugal force of the gyrations prevent
ing the inflow of air from the sides.
Below, however, there is not counter
force, and the air rushes into that flue
with terrible power, and when its
mouth is near the earth houses are un
roofed and all movable objects carried
up into the rotating column. The
funnel-shaped cloud is formed by the
condensation of vapor, caused by the
meeting of the cold and warm-air cur
rents, as well as by the sudden eleva
tion into colder regions of the warm
air of the surface.
This explanation ot tornadoes and
their attendant phenomena is simple
and satisfactory, even though not en
tirely new. Mr. Maury does not feel
confident that there can ever be more
than brief and local warnings of the
coming of a full-fledged tornado. An
elevation of ground a little south-west
of a town or house would tend to
cause a tornado to pass over and be
yond, and thus save the place thus
located. Underground and storm
proof retreats cannot be considered
superfluous precautions in regions sub
ject to these storms. Mr. Maury does
not conceive that the cutting down of
the forests has had any influence in
producing or increasing the frequency
of tornadoes. Their causes are too re
mote, their action too tremendous, to
be influenced in auy sensible degree by
man's puny action upon the earth's
surface. — Press.

August is the great month of the
year for fogs. They are supposed to
be born in the Bay of Fundy. Their
paternal ancestors are icebergs from
the North Pole. They take after their
fathers aod grandfathers in nature,
being cold, damp and disagreeable.
At a distance they are picturesqe ;
they are creatures of surprise ; they lie
in ambush, they come pouring over
outlying islands like a horde of vandals;
they settle upon the sea like a super
eminent sea, allowing the masta of
schooners to prick through ; suddenly
they lift and take flight in a myriad
little vanishing clouds, or else, when
they are dense one instant they have
disappeared the next. One day they
hover just outside the offing, tossed
into fantastic peaks ami mountains,
and the superstitious might almost
fancy it was a paradise inviting explor
ation. A sudden shift of the wind,
and 10, the sun disappears and the
trees are tilled with grey moisture and
begin to drop from eyery little twig.
Fogs are profuse. They hide a
landscape for a week at a time. The
finer the landscape the more sure they
are to spoil it. If an unlucky visitor
has only one day for sightseeing they
are on hand that one day. even if they
had not been nigh for a month. If a
land is dried up with drought then
the fog drifts in tantalizingly, refuses
to condense into rain but mocks the
thirsty herbage. It deposits a glis
tening dewdrop on the back of the
fraudulent potatoe-bug, but the tuber
blow is left to question the mysteries
of the future.
Fog is often used as a mental
simile. We say that a man's mind is
befogged. A mean lawyer is called a
petifogger, doubtless because he is
petty and puts other people, his unfor
tunate clients, into a fog, that is into
such a condition that they are bewil
dered aud misled, without being
conscious of it. Most men are in this
state, some in regard to one thing and
some in regard to another. Questions
of politics bewilder one set ol men ;
others are under a heavy qjoud ol
doubts in regard to religious matters ;
a large number are befogged finan
cially. It is generally a miserable
sight to see. In some cases, however,
it takes the form of idiosyncrasies
which are amusing. There is noth
ing so apt to dispel fogs from the
mind as a fresh breeze of discussion
with some remarkable sensible person.
There are those whose words would
only make the fog thicker, but a
sensible person with tact drives away
the vapors as a west wind dispels the
fog on the stern New England shore

similar opinion. The Telegraph* urges
the Canal Company to sue England
for damages. The Pari s, Gambetta's
