The gradual shades of tho twilight fall:.
And the scents of the Bowers, after the Liget
Come freshly over the garden wall;
litirollerieh,odor tfauscends them all,
Strag - tind . iitibtl and sweet, oh, sweet!
A wonderful fragrance; deep and rare,
The breath of the great magnolia flower, -
That, after the long day's din and glare,.
Comes softly forth, like a silent prayer,
To bless and sweeten the grateful limn:.
At morn to the Sun's enamored rays
It opens its bosom's snowy prime ;
Pride of the sultry summer days,
It gives its beauty to allyiho a .3.2.0. •

'Should give - every young man "Gibbon's
History of the Roman Empire" to read, as
an education in itself. No one can read it
without seeing that Gibbon was the best

therefore few men could have accomplished
so much. He

Boswell's " Life' of Johnioit"

taining,
: one_ of _the greatest.,...v,atielts
charms, bet:iodise it brings in -tbejtislery:_of
the .lirightest men in England 'at a time of
great brilliancy; that is, when, Burke, and
Fox, and Gibbon, and Goldsmith were on
the 'stage together, and, were continually
meeting in- conversation. I should think
" Boswell's Life of John Son" is a good book
for a young man out of the line of difficult
study; for it should be an entertainment t
him, and nothing more, No wise youd
man can do'without reading " Bacon's Es
says." They arc a little bible of earthly
wisdom. They are full of sense and truth.
If he is led to the "Life of Lord Bacon," he
-thereby becomes acquainted with the most
important--period in English history; the
time when the two greatest lights of Eng
land at-that period, and one of them the
greatest light that ever was in England—
Shakespeare—were surrounded by able men;
the time of Elizabeth and of James; the
time of the great coneentratioh.otintellse
tual light in England. There never was
such a period in the world. The only one
coraparatrdto it is that of the-tireek age
when Perieles was suttotinilg‘clSby Pie great
artists, the great poets, the great historians
and philosophers of Greece. These are the
two remarkable periods of intellectual light
—the time of Elizabeth and the time of
Pericles. - •
No one can speak of books however with
out saying to you what you already know,
that of all books depending purely upon
their intrinsic excellence Shakespeare is the

directly upon the reverence of mankind,

somewhat remarkable production, reads
thus:

This is the most 'comforting statement in
kpie,9ltire,st gives us th 9 assurance
that, ,a`ri 'llia hunter 5 1:i ' "dead,"'
.verses can be written about him, and that fact
being established;, we are at once relieved

failed us." which, without -the . 6kplanation,

The Conversion of a six per cent. loan
into afite Per cent. loan is composedof two

treiv - botis; and secondly, either the pur ; - - -
Chase in9Perniaarket. or the recall of the
old: :jthesa .7 twO distinct operations -must
• not be 16taight - of in estimating the Seem
tary'S'lriinseCtions with the so-called syndi
cate or PP - .Urbination of European bankers.
In the it place the 'new bonds must 'be
isf , tied and Sold - bei'ore.arr,angenrents can be
!Mae to tube 'tip . the'old. As the six per
cent boirdi-Weretabove par in gold the Sec
•

Market,: Laiti wits compelled to recall a cer
r-am .i
--aaex::-.. , ....--.3.- - ..vuouirti. - To (k this,
u reasonablematte; ifinst be riven to hold
ers.... Considering the f fiact that nearly, the
whole of this loan pi held in Europe—it
having penetrated into the most remote vil
lages of Germany and Switzerland—the
Secretary gave three mouths', notice. If he
had - oveti less than that he would have clone
injustice'to the bondholders. But before he
was able to give notice that in three mouths
f rourdat& he would redeem nearly two hun
dred
,millions of bonds, 'he must either have
the cash iu the Treasury or undoubted se
curity. •
Thus if the new bonds had been sold for
cash:: and
,the money covered into .the
Treasury,.three months would have elapsed
before it would have, been to 'any extent
paid out, and thus in any event there would'
have been a double.payment of interest for
one Anarter. The new bonds would have
bornfive per bsfi --3—. t., the old bonds six per
cent and the gold in the Treasury would
not have brought anything, but would have
greatly disturbed the money market. The
.pioltp debt itself, however, would not kayo
been filicreliSed, because for every new bond
sold the money would have been placed in
the Treasury: _ ..
Tita European syndicate simply said; "we
pledge ourselves to take tbe entire loan, so
that
,Y'ou may safely give the three months'
notic to bondholders, and us fast as we can
get It Id of the old bonds . we ;will take up
the ; new." •The only profit which the syn.
dicat made - Wasllie . iliree months' interest,
which in any and every event the United
,-,ltate; would have bud to pay.i Tints while
nothing-in reality was paid tol the negotia
tor,;, the foreign bankers, by taking adTan
