Ivo nothing to say, John Henry, nothing at all to say ; For what's tho use of shouting when a whirlwind's under way ? And when the blizzard's over the misehief will be done : Then 'twill be too Into to talk, though the trouble'e just begun, You're anxious now for my advice; 'twold make a dead man grin, Who'd danced to the usual fiddling in this rare old world of sin, To hoar the same old story, and told In the saute old way : I've nothing to say, John Henry, nothing at all to Bay. It isn't so long ago, my boy, not so very long ago, That I stood before my father, in the self -same way you know, was mad in love, yon reseal, and she was gone on me, And before we'd asked permissiou we'd pledged ourselves, yon see To walk barefoot through Topbet if the old folks made a row— And that's exactly what you've done, I'd take my solemn vow. It's only jut a /Mange in thne, yesterday and to -day : I've nothing to say, John Henry, nothing at all to say. It wouldn't have done a bit of good if my father had preached to me ; The old man know it well enough, and so he let me be. But tears were in his eyes'my boy, his voice was strained and low, As ho took me by the arm and said, loved your mother so. And yet I made hor life a hell for twenty years or more, Till the Lord got tired of seeing it, and opened wide the door. 'You've got the same blood in you, the same provoking way : I've nothing to say, John Henry, nothing at all to say." I called the old mon a, croker, exactly as you'll call me : But time avenged the epithet—a prophet be proved to be.

In Heaven's name, what is it that makes us inen so blind, So careless, so indiffereut, so brutally unkind ? I can see your mother now in her loneli. noes and pain, As sho watched for my home-comiug, through the tears that fell like ram. I called it foolish sniffling, and then she'd try to smile, And. tell me how she loved me, a•sobbing all tho svhilo. My God 1 I see her sweet dead face a thousand times a day I I've no thing to say, John Henry, nothing ab all to say. • LORD STANLEY IN CANADA. The now Governor General, Lord Stanley of Preston, landed at South Quebec on Saturday, 9Ith June, and came through to Ottawa over the Grand Trunk and Canada Atlantic railway reaching at eight o'clock Sunday morning. As his arrival was unexpected there was of course no demonstration of welcome at the railway depot • though there is no doubt that, Sabbath observing peo- ple as they are, the residents of Canada's capital would have turned out in force to greet the represent- ative of the Sovereign, had they been duly apprised of the time of his coming. Tho now Governor General has boon duly sworn in and has entered upon the discharge of his duties. Ho will be able to make himself pretty thoroughly iv:gimlet- ed with Canada during the parlia- mentary recess, aud will doubtless be able to uphold the high repo. tations. won by his predecessor in once. Not only as the represent. alive of British authority in Canada but for hit personal worth, Lord Stanley is entitled to popular re- spect and esteoua. Ho comes of a distinguished family, and is a gen. Canaan of wide knowledge and mod- erato views on political subjeces. It is to be hoped that Lord Stanley will follow tho example d some of his predeceseore and mingle with the people as much as possible. Lot him not depend upon the "of. Mal net" for his ideas of Canada and Canadians, or for information as to popular opinion upon matters affecting the relations between Can- ada and the mother laud. As Lard Lansdowne pointed out in his ad. 'nimble address at the ibanquet giv- en in hie honor a few weeks ago, the Governor General of Canada is often the orbiter between Imperial and Colonial Interests and has it in his power to do much for hie °min. try over whose goveanment he pre. sides. Lord Stanley is a gentleman experienced in political and clipla. matte affairs. Ile entered partici. tient at the early age of twenty•four end became connected with the all• ministration throe years later. In 1885 and 1886 ho was secretary of state for the coloniee, and in the last Mentioned year became peed. dent of the board of trade, being at those= time raised to the peerage as Baron Stanley of Proton.

Frederick William Mob - alas Oharloo, Emperor of Germany, was born in the Now Royal Palace, near Potsdam, October 18, 1881. Ho received a thorough soientifie education and the doctor's diploma from the University of Konigsberg, of which ho was rector. In Jelin- ary, 1868, he left I3orlin for Eug- land, whore lie was to wed Princess. Victoria. The marriage took place on the 2511i, and prosy Baron Stook - mar was made happy in seeing his plan of the helloes of Pruskia and Englazicl joined m more intimate relationship. Priuce Albert wrote : "Tho young people seem to bo heartily in love with moll other, and the innocence and unselfishness of the young man is very touching." Tears flowed freely when the Prince took his bride away from England. "Farewell, Fair Rose of England," was tho inecription over tho tri- umphal arch built at Dover, "Keep her well 1 Bo true to her 1 God bless you I" were the farewell words sent after him by the good men of Dover as the 'Victoria and Albert sailed away. In the first week of February tho Prince entered Ber- lin in state with hie bride. The Princess Hohenloho wrote that no princess ever had such a hearty wel- come given to her in Berlin. The Crown Prince 'himself telegraphed to Queen Victoria : "The whole roy- al family .is onehanted with my wife." In 1866 the late Emperor wits Commitoder-in•Chief of the second Prussian army and essentially eon- tributed to the decisive victory of Sadowa, by his timely appearance at Gillum, In the Franco German war of 1870-71 he was at the head of the South German forces as CommanderLin-Ohief of the third army. The first victory of the war, that of Weissenburg (Aug. 4), and the greater one over MacMahon at Worth (Aug. 6), were achieved und- er his generalship ; he took an equally brilliant part, together with the Orown Prince (now King) Albert of Siszony, in the great tri- umphs culminating in Napoleon's surrender with his army at Sedan, Sept. 2 ; won additional laurels during the siege of Paris, and was made general field marshall Octob- er 28, although it had not been ous• tomary for royal princes to receive that title. Tho Emperor was always more fond of travel than of military page. entry, being in this respecttotally different from most members of the Hohenzollern !cnny. He has visit- ed St. Petersburg, the cataracts of the Nile, the ruins of Carthage, the Scotch Highlands, the jords of the S wean, Spain and Italy. Neither his father, tho Emperor, nor his son, Prince Wilhelm, have over manifested any dosire to travel. Even when the Prince was sent out officially, as he was to vieib King Alfonso, bo made the journey one of pleasure and study as much as of duty. In 1850 he visited Switz- erland, Tyrol, Southern Italy and Southern France. In 1861 ho made the momentous visit to Eng. land that resulted in his aegnaint• &nee with the Princess Victoria, Queen Victoria's oldest daughter. In 1854 he made a second journey to Italy, where he was received by His Holiness Pope Pius IX, In 1855 Colonel Von Moltke was ap- pointed. adjutant to the Crown Primo, and thenceforward the silent strategist, then younger than he is today, but equally reserved, no. companied him in his journeys, He went with his Prince a -wooing to England and presumably helped him in suitably answering the Prince Consort's long.worded °pis - tie on European polities. In Aug. net of the same year he went as rep- resentative of the Prussian royal house to assist at the coronation of Emperor Alexandoe II, at Moscow. A few weeks later he was again hi London, and from there he went across the channel ti Paris, which be had not seen before. There he was received with great distinction by Napoleon III and entertained with banquets at the Inilleries, re. views, Mints, opera and ballot, Li 1869 the Prince made his journey to the Orient. The jour. nay was made via Venice and Brin- ditto to Athens and Constantinople, where tho Stilton, at his eolicitation, coded the whole territory of the old Church of tho Knights of St. John in Jerosalone bo the King of Prussia. On the 401 of November, '1809, the Prince made his entry into Joliet', ana that evening he stood on most serious trouble having Arleen the Mount of Olives to watch the from the desire of Princess Victoria, ever, be wee unable to probe the alma over the oily.

The perusal of favorite pas- oages in the Evangelists in such a place is a divine service in itself." 00 November 411 tho Crown Prince took possession, in the name of his father, of the ruins of the old Johan - niter Hoopice and of the church be. longing to it, which the Sultan had presented to tho King. Leaving Jerusalem the Prince visited jaffa, Bayreuth, Lebanon, Damascus, and ranched Port Said, hero he took part in the inaugural ceremonies of the opening of tho Suez Canal, From there he wont to Cairo and made a journey up the Nilo as far as the first Cataract. In Decem- ber of the same year, in company with the Crown Princeee, he paid a vieit to the Emperor Napoleon and the Empress Eugenie, at Paris. The latest and most important journey taken by the Orem Prince was tbo one in November, 1888, to Madrid Mad Rome, where he visited King Alfonso and Pope Leo XIII, The journey to Spain WAS made by the Prince as a reply to the French insults to Ring Alfonso (who had been created honorary colonel of .Uhlans at Hamburg by the Emper- or) and to Germany. Spanish in ventivenese exhausted itself in de- vising means of humoring the im- perial guest of the nation, and King Alfonso wee at the time perhaps the proudest monarch in Europe. 01 banquets, festivities and bull- fights there was no end, and rivers of wine were drunk in toasts to the now Oeltio-Teutonio friendship. From Madrid tho Orovn Prince went to .Rome, where lie arrived on the 1711 of December, 1883. There he was met by King Humbert, the Duke of Aosta, and the Crown Prince Victor Emmanuel. He also visited Pope Leo XIII, and though he assured his holiness that he was not entrusted with any political mis. eion beyond returning the Berlin visit of King Humbert, it is well known that the Emperor hoped to bring about in nu informal way a more friendly feeling with the Vati- can and to pave the way to the set. Clement of tho Kulturkampf in Ger- many no as to leave the Emperor free from religious discord at his death. Pope Leo was equally de- sirous of having these difficulties removed, and he expressed the hope that the future ruler of Germany would contribute towards realizing his earnest wishes. The two visite had undoubtedly important remelts, for when two years afterward the Hispano•German dispute arose about tho Caroline' Islands, it is known that the Crown Prince took it deep interest in the peaceful settlement of tho affair, and Popo Leo XIII was asked to settle the dispute, which he did to the satisfaction of both countries. And the difficult. ies in .the way of a settlement of the German Kulturkampf have also dis- appeared slowly since the Prince's memorable journey and visit to Rome. It was about two years ago that the Emperor, then Crown Prince, began to show decided signs of a diseased system. For some time his enfeebled health was 111 great measure attributed to the worry and humuliatiofi endarod at court, but, this theory was abandon - alt when it beearne• apparent from medical examination that a fatal disease had attaoked the larnyx and that the days of tho Prince were nanthered. It was when the eye. tem of tho Prince began to give way under the strain that Dr. Mao kenzio was called in, but although duriug the months he had charge of the Royal patient he did wonders in the way of prolonging life, it was recognized that the end must come -eoon. 11 wee feared that the Prince would go to the grave before his father, hue fortunately that fear proved groundless, and hie devoted wife was not deprived of the rights which elle was entitled to. •During the three months that have elapsed since tho cteath of his father and his accession to the throne the Emper. oe'e life has boon a oontinual battle against diseaeo.

Treasury agents have cap- tured a large quantity of opium smuggled through Canada into the States and arrested a Sarnia man at Indianapolis as the consignee. Frank B.

A boy named Luckliam, from Kent comity, on a visit to School Inspeo• tor Maxwell's family, Amberetburg, was missed from the house on Wed- nesday, and was traced to the bank of Detroit river, where his hat was found, and also evidence that while gathering flowers ho had slid down the steep bank to the water.
