Lore gives Itself, but is uot bought; Xor voice, nor sound betray Its deep Impassioned gaze. It comes the beautiful, the true. The crown of all humanity In silence and akue To seek the elected one. Oh, weary hearts! Oh, slumbering eye! Oh, drooping souls, whose destinies Are fraught with fear and pain, Te shall l loved again! Xo one is so accursed by fate, No one so utterly desolate. Bat some heart, though unknown, Responds unto his own. Responds as if with unseen wings Au angel touched Its quivering striae; And whispers in its song Where hast thou stayed so long?

The thou sands of the welt-to-do will in some way pall through without actual suffering, but tli9 millions who live from hand to Bonth speedily succumb. .Now not one monsoon but two hare failed. The ontbwct monsoon of 3Iay and June, 1876,did notcome. The lands could not be ploughed. The early irri gation crops could not be planted. The . - pi ice 01 iooxi at once advanced, but no actual distress nm-.iM tk. all were turned heavenward for the 0c - tober and Xovembcr rains. Xonc came I .in tne famine dittncts. The heavens were brazen. Scorching-suns, but no rain-clouds. Toe hearts of all sank with in thtin, for it was evident that a time of dire distress was at hand. Hid the area of famine been small, the energetic measures adopted by the Gov ernment and by private parties, with abundance of grain in the surrounding regions, would have been effectna! to pre vent great loss of life. Bat it is not small. In the Madras Presidency alone the famine reaches over more than 80 000 square miles, containing ncarlr 20,000, 000 of people, while in the Bambar Presidency adjoining it reaches over some 50,000 square miles, with a population of 10,000,0i0 to 12,000.000. together eaual- i licg tbrce-fourthg of the population of the United State. And in the surround ing districts, while there is no actual fam ine there is great scarcity, so as to pre vent their helping their neighbors. Un fortunately this state of affairs i not to be of short duration. Two monsoons have already failed. Our fi'st ray of boe is in the early May and June mon soon. But even when that comet, it will not at once stop the dii-tress or even the actual starvation. The crop will Lej ceedingly light at best Iso. The best judges say that from four to six months of starvation is jet before the people. God send relief I I come now to speak of wfiat this fam ine means. It means actual starvation and death to many thousand, if not mil lions, of the people. It means the deci mation of households. It means sickness and decrepitude for life to many survivors- It means the loss of property and poverty for life to others. It mens the taking away of beasts of labor from the farmer, and future unfilled aad fruit- less ticki ami consequent rwiuij m mauj a loca liy.

A curious rumor ia adoit, fur which we do not vouch that the Porte, in its eagerness for money, has offered to sell the Hereditary I Pashalic of the H-iIy Land to any catidt- uaic accpicu oy uie jews in return Mr a loan. This transaction would be one of the mist singular in history, but it is not teynnd the range of possibility. Pales tine needs nothing but irrigation and trees, and though the Jews dislike agri culture, fellaheen sufficient might be at tracted from Egypt.

I heard a lady say to an other, "Who is that lady peeping through the door in the cornerf She evidently knew not that it was a painting. Thea there are pictures seen only through small apertures. Sach is that of man buried alive." You peer into a gloomy sepulchre and sec a man who has been buried alive, by some mistake, who has awakened from his trance, has just burt' open the coffin lid and Is stretching out las hand in horror, grasping for some evidence that he is not dreaming. On the rough deal coffin are tlie words, "Died from cholcia, certified by the Doctors. Another is rather amusing than repulsive. Overhead is a picture of Hugo's Hunch back of Xotre Dams. He is represented its very uly, with nnkempt red hair and rough crimsoa garb. L mkiug through a hole, into which the fico czcclly fits, the same figure is seen, with the same rough red garb and shaggy hair, but the features are u cn to be those of the ob server.
