Marcon, @ radical, moved an amendment in favor of making future Assemblies permanént. AN IMPORTANT DECLARATION ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT—EXECUTIVE IDEAS OF A REPUBLIC. Minister Buflet thereupon made an important speech. He defended the republican constitution of February 25. The proposed amenament waa in every way a violation of that ipstrument, No comparison was possible between the French and the American or Knglish executives. Be concluged as follows:—‘irudence requires us to seek & guarantee against coups d'état. We shall find such, not in a clause of aconstitution, but in the establisnment of a government in harmony wit, the traditions, char- acter and wants of tne couulry. A permanent Assembly would pe a constant focus of agitation, causing public opinion to turn to the side of execu- tive power. Permanency would be the most de- testable gift possible to bes!ow upon the Assem- bly. If Assemblies remain Jaith{ul to puolic opin- ion the executive power wiilr spect them,’?

The Times of this morning, in a leading article op affairs in Spain, presents the following sum- mary of the military and political situation in that country :— “The recent minor successes of Generals Jovel- lar and Martinez-Campos are more than outweigned by the reverses to General Loma. He has been repulsed with heavy loss. General Queseda has not only been baMied in his attempts to throw supplies into Vittoria, but has bimseif been driven behing the River Ebro, It 1s also said that Vittoria has, for the first tume since the war began, been cut off from communication wit Madrid, The Carlists are 80 much elated by their triumpns, and place 60 much reliance On the artillery they have at last obtained, that they seem about to begin a forward maren.’! After considering the desirability that the guerula character of the hostilities snould terminate and the war be fought out on the plains, a8 otherwise it ts capable of indefinite oontingance, the Times declares that ‘ail the bright nope: that Alfonso brought to Spain have vanished, His best generas are less active than under Serrano, The first attempt to strike a decisive blow brought defeat tasiead of vietory.

In medieval Rome, I know not where, Toere stood an image with its arm iu air, And on its tilted finger, shining clear, A golden ring with the device, “Strike here!” Greatly the people wondered, thongn none guessed ‘The meaning that these words but half expressed, Until learned clerk, who at noonaay, With downcast eyes, was passing on.nis way, Paused, and observed the spot, and marked it well, Whereon the shadow of the finger fell; And, coming back at midai,nt, delved and found A secret stairway leading under ground, Down this he passed into @ spacious hall, Lit by a faming jewel on the wall; And oppo-ite # bragen statae stood With bow and snaft in threatening attitude. Upon its forehead, like # coronet, Were these mysterious words of menace sot:— “That which [ am, 1am; my fatal aim None can escape, not even yon luminous flame!" Midway the ball was a fair table placed, With cloth of gold, and golden cups enchased With rubies, and the plates and knives were gold, And goid the bread and viands manifold, Around it, silent, motionle: nd sad, Were seated gallant knights in armor clad, And ladies beautiful with plume and zone, But they were stone, their hearts wituin were stone; And the vast hall was filled in every part With silent crowds, stony in face and heart, Long at the scene, bewildered and amazda, ‘The trembling clerk in speechless wonder gazed; Then irom the table, by his greed mada bold, He seized a goblet and a kuife of goid, And suddenly from their seats the guests up- sprang, ‘The vauited ceiling with loud clamors rang, The archer sped his arrow, at their call, Shattering the lambent jewel on the wall, Aad ail was dark around and overhead;— Stark on the floor the luckless clerk iay dead! The writer of this legend then records Its ghostly application tn these words:— The image is the Adversary old, Whose beekoning Anger points to realms of gold; Our lusts and passions are the downward stair ‘That Jeads the soul (rom 4 diviner air; The archer, Deatn; the Maming jewel, Life; Terrestrial goods, the goblet and tho kuif>; The knignots and ladies, all whose Nosh and bone By avarice have been oardened tnto stone; The clerk, the scholar whom the love of pelf Tempts from his books aad from his nobier self, The scholar and the world! The endless strife, ‘The discord in the harmonies of ii'et The love o1 learning, the sequestered nooks, And ail the sweet serenity of books; The market-place, the eager ove of gain, Whose aim is vanity and whose end ts pain! But why, you ask me, should this tale be told To men grown old or who are growing ola? It is too late! Ab, nothing ts too late Till the tired heart snall cease to palpttate. Cato learned Greek at eighty; Sophocies Wrote his grana (idipus, and Simonides Bore off the prize of verses from his compeers, When each bad numbered more shan fvurscore years; And Theophrastas, at fourscore and ten, Had but begun his Characters of Men, Chaucer, at Woodstock with the mightingales, Atsixty wrote the Canterbury Ta! Goetbe at Weimar, toiling to the |: Completed Faust when eighty years were past. The: e indeed exceptions; but they show How far the gul(-stream of our youth may fow Into the arctic regions of our lives, Where iittle else than life itself survives, As the barometer foretelis the storm While still the skies are clear, the weather warm, So something in us, as old age draws near, Betfays the pressure of the atmosphere, ‘The nimble mercury, ere we are aware, Descends the elastic ladder of the air; The telltale blood in artery and vein ‘Sinks trom its higher leveis in the brain; Whatever poet, orator, or sage May say of it, old age till old age, It ts the waning, not the crescent moon, The dusk of evening, not the blaze of noon: Ib is not strength, but weakness; not desire, But its surcease; not the flerce heat of are, ‘The burning and consuming element, But that of ashes ana of embers spent, In which some living sparks we stili discera, Enough to warm, but not enough to burn. What then? Shall we sit idly down and say it t9 no longer day? The night hath not yet come; we are not quite Cut off irom ispor by the failing light; Something remains for us to do or dare; Even the oldest tree some fruit may bear; Not C2dipus Coloneus, or Greek Ode, Or tales of pilgrims that one morning rode Out of the gateway of the Tavard Inn, But other something, would we bat begin; For age is opportunity no leas Than youth itself, though in another gin And as th ning twilight fad ied with stars, invisible ty day.
