MY STAR.

I've heard the words of greeting sweet,

Thy lips for others murmur o'er ; Our hauds and eyes have met, us meet The casual friends’, but nothing more. And yet one look from that calm eye Has power to check my wildest mood, All harsh, ungentle passions die.

By its unconscious spell subdued.

Each careless word and lighter thought,

| Vagrant and aimless as the wind,

Are changed for aspirations, caught From glimpses of a nobler mind.

Aud I have now a goal in sight,

Tho’ from my preseut stand afar ; ’ Tis Worth the race, for warm and bright Abdve it beams wy guiding star.

Not that I seek that star to wear, Such hopeless aim might make me sin; Tis but the standard Hope doth rear, I seek to emulate, not win. And if sometimes I close my eyes, And pause to dream, say, who can blame? From each bright musing, strong I rise, Faney such dainty food will claim.

I tuke thee, owner of this face, My whole life's mouitor to be ; Though whether winning my long race, Or losing, ‘tis the same to thee. If winning, Fane perhaps will bring My name to deck her greenest bays ; Aud to the wreath, oh friend, must cling Thine influence as in by-gone days.

If losing all, race, aim, and task, 1 will not mourn what cannot be; W hat brighter future need I ask, Than to live on remembering thee ?

To hear thy nume with deep delight, , Cuseen to watch thy steady course ; | To muse upon thee, day and night, i To make thy memory Joy's true source. } I hope to win with such a guide,

’'Tis scarcely possible to fail; 1 wili be strong whate'er betide,

Faith, hope, or courage shall not quail. And when thine equal | am proved

(An end not hopeless, though so fur.) I shall not all in vain have loved, Lite will be worthy of its star.

THE MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY.

BY EMERSON BENNETT.

One day, as I was sitting in my private office in ——— street, London, a lady was an- nounced and shown in. She was dressed in black and deeply vailed. 1 perceived she was nervous wod excited, and | kindly requested ber to be eeated. As soon as my attendant had gone out, she threw aside one corner of her vail and glanced around the room. derstood her, and said :

‘You think these persons are all honest?’

‘I would be willing to stake my life on it, Mr. Sergeant. Besides, the only two keys which can open the safe have never been out of my possession.’

‘How do you know that?’

‘Because I keep them in,a secret drawer which is only known to myeelf.’

After some further questions and answers on various miuor points, I told the lady I should like to drop in upon ber when all |her household were at home, and perhaps dine with her; that she must recognize me as an old acquaintance, & country tradesman by the name ef Jones; and that no mention ;must be made of her loss or of her ever | having consulted any member of the police, /to all of which she readily agreed, promising also to keep a secret watch upon every body ‘in the house and every body that should come into it while tag mystery should re-

been taken from the safe.

* And what makes the affair more strange.’ she said, ‘it occurs just once every week. At this rate another year will see ail my hidden treasure gone. Surely, Mr. Sergeant, it is the wrox of some supernatural power.’

‘I do not think so, Mrs. Conway,’ I re- plied; +1 am no believer in the power of ghosts to ran off with gold. Pray let me

‘From late English Papers.

THE SULTAN AND THE VICEROY.

The Sultan is the guest of the British nation, and the British nation has given the Sultan a hearty welcome. He has been entertained by the Queen at luncheon at Windsor Castle, there has been a state performance in his honour at the Italian Opera, a day bas been set apart for his enjoyment at the Crystal Palace, the naval forces of England have been displayed betore hin in a spectacle at sea, Where her Majesty be- fittingly presided, and in otber ways an earnest endeavour is ade tu show respect for the ruler of a nation which bas played a remarkable part in history, and which might play a still greater if the Government were to be purified under the influence of opinions formed by the oriental po- tentate in his contemplation of what has fallen under his observation in the West. Abdul Aziz is the first of the * Grand Turks” to set foot on British soil. His predecessors would have dis- dained te accept an invitation from a Christain sovereign and people; but moved by what he has heard of the warvels of civilization, and possibly somewhat jealous also of the influence and growing power of his progressive Viceroy, the Sultan has come out of the seclusion of his seraglio to trust himself in Christian company and judge for hinself in the matter of Christain civilisation. The presence of Sultan Abdul Aziz among us is a great event, and there can be little or po doubt of the pleasure he receives frou: the maauer of bis reception, for it is enthusiastic. His progress from the railway station on the day of bis arrival, to Buckingham Palace was attended with such shouts of welcome from myriads of people on tree tops and house tops as would have astonished him if he had not beeu duly prepared for them ; and he must have contrasted in bis wind as he went along the energetic exclamativns, the hat wavings and other tokens of rejoicing, of a free people, with the enforced submission vf bis own subjects Evidently unused to acknowledge salutations, but observing how they were acknowledged by the Prince of Wales, his Imperial Majesty made a somewhat amusing imitation by half raising his hand towards his velvet cap and calling up a swile upon a countenance that gave one the idea of its being more used to frowning. The “terrible Turk,” the “ chief of the religion which for cen- turies was dreaded as the most deadly enemy of

territery into great importance while Turkey itself is falling into decay. Exypt is likely to be a nation when Turkey is a desert.

The Prince of Wales offered honorable testi- mony to the intelligence and friendly spirit of the Viceroy at the Lord Mayor's banquet; and his Royal Highness’s words were strictly true. We have reason to be grateful, he said, “ for the means afforded us of visiting Egypt. We are much indebted to his Highness and his evssors for the facilities afforded to the passage of our troops to India. Egypt is a country ~ast- ly improving. Manufactures are rising on every side, especially in regard to cotton.” The eaga- city of the Egyptian ruler was shown when the supplies of cotton to England from America were withdrawn, for be energetically endeavour- ed to supply our markets; and his services upon that memorable occasion have beea properly acknowledged in an address trom the Cuttou Supply Asseciation, which has been presented te his highness at Dudley House. The additional supplies thus obtained became of signal service during the cotton famine, and tended greatly to

| witigate the distress experienced by our Lan-

ing and inexhaustible land of the Pharaahs and Ptolemys—a prince now reigns who bas applied all the resources of modern seience, and even laid the foundation of representative institutions.” The French Government, conscious of the grow- ing unportance of Egypt, hea long endeavoured to establish a paramount influence there, and for that purpose has giveu material aid te the roman- tic canal project of M. de Lesseps, which, visiou- ary aud impracticable as it seems to be to owe own engineers, is still regarded with faith and Whatever amay be the result of

- <->. EXPECTED WAR AGAINST THE KING OF ABYSSINIA.

Bow.

Sir Stafford Northcote, in reply to a tion relating to a rumour cireulating in bay, that troops had been told off for an eapedi- tion into Abyssinia, to reeover her Hajesty's envoy and consul, together with other British subjects held in captivity there, said there wae uo truth in the statement ; but the right hon. bar- onet admitted that be had requested the Gov- ernor of Bowbay to inform him confidentially con- cerping certain matters, in case measures of force should at any time be resorted to.” We trust that every other means of obtaining the release ef the captives will be exhausted be forethe uncertam expedient of war is adopted. King Theodore has for yeurs been trifling with the British Govern- ment respeeting these prisoners, at one time expressing an earnest disposition to let them go, and afterwards showing only a dispoeition to huld them fast. He is willing to exchange eomplimente with ber Britannic Majesty, and to receive pre- sents, any quantity of which is aceeptable; but he sbews a still greater willingness to receive more white men into bis dominions, or rather hie clutches ; for once caught he would not be to luose his hold upon them. It is a difficult matter to deal with this royal savage, nor is it easy to get at him; and there is a strong prob- ability that, directly be heard of the landing of an European force, he would show his contempt for Europeans by having the beads of bis captives struck off. We have no faith, then, m the effi- cacy of hostilities, and would rather trest 4o a temporising poley, and have recourse to Sent exauple of eraft und evnning which King Theo- dore has set vs, and which there ought to be men as skilfu) in using as himself. We are confidently told that military operations of an overpowering nature against the King of Abyssinia could be
