Buchanan Read.- Sterner ead.- Sterner Work Than Rhyming. The editor and proprietor of a prosperous daily newspaper, in a city not far from New York, said to me the other day that the poetry habit in a journalist was a sign of school girlishness. "If," he continued, "a member of my staff wrote verse, I wouldn't have the public know it for a gelid deal of looney. A newspaper man is in sterner business than rhyming. Any child can write poetry. A journalist, to be a success, must let such stuff alone. No; there is no distinction between verse and ' poetry; it's all alike: it'a all slush.'. I felt like asking the editor, whose news columns are, by the way, as bright and crisp and clean as any I ever saw -if he ever board of William Callen Bryant and such men, who have won laurels, both in newspaper work and in writing poetry. When be con- -chided with the remark that tarso writing, utterly unfits one for other business, I felt like asking him if ho knew anything of the lives of Stedman, the banker poet, Or of Holmes, or of turns, or of Riley; but I thought that argument with a man of his opinions would be futile. -Walter Irving Clarke in The Writer: Muscle and the Sc:enres.

IIe was anxious to do his duty, and if called on to "testify" in meeting had it not in conscience to refuse. But, alas! poor Deacon D., how he should stop lie never knew. He tried to speak his (geeing words, but every sentence, in spite of him, would clove itself with an "and" or with a "but." This pledged him to another sen- tence, which also fatally closed with another "and." "Dear brother," I hear him patiently say, "1, am an unworthy disciple, and have nothing to. say tient is worthy of your con- sideration -but. But I know that I ought always to be ready to, testify of the Lord's goodness -and.

At last, perspiring and seared, the ands and buts rolled into a confused ball of words, and the deacon fell back exhausted. His testi= teen was a terrible "cross,a not onlyto him- self, but to all the "brethren and sisters." rs." 'When Rev. Dr. M. was invited to lecture before the lyceum of A., he began at 8 o'clock.

F LINCOLN TEE GIFT O , In politics the art of stopping is pre-emi- nent. It was the particular gift Lincoln. Ilow terribly impatient. we all got with hien after the battle of Bull Run! Bat wag he ever driven by clamor to one .basty step? What a torriblo burden -that man bore for those mouths when Chase said, "If he lives he Will `evriick,ile,",and honest .men wished he would -dib. It is a Wonder he did not die. Lincoln had the marvelous power to lead, but never to bo more than one step ahead of Clay people. Henry had somewhat of this popular leadership, and so did Webster; but neither of them could be sure to stop - both lost the presidency for that reason. Douglas had the art, but he committed him- self to one great error, and could never be allowed to stop. It is the doom of a political blunder that it leads on and on to perpetual complications.But you cannot read the life of Lincoln, and not adtnire his art of self- control: I am peculiarly pleased with the training we are getting in these days by science in the art of stopping. If you study the life of Dar- win you will admire nothing so much as his stopping short of mere speculation. I do not think he has been found ever to have gone one step beyond the direct and positive war- rant of . data. You may imaging what the evolution idea born into some brains would have led to. Indeed, we have seen some very eminent men compelled d to back out of some very ludicrous places, because they did not stop in time. Scientific training is having a wonderful influence in compelling us to test and prove as we go. -"E. P. P." in Globe - Democrat. 11.a Amazed Subscriber.

But to revert to the weather, that everywhere present and always safe topic of conversation, as well as subject for correspondence, I may say that the Australian summer -has, on the whole, been a pleasant surprise to ole. There have been a few uncomfortably hot days; when, with a hot, north wind, blowing from the deserts in the- interior, and no cool water to drink, life itself seemed almost a burden to carry around. There were about half a dozen such days during the summer, when the thermometer registered from 105 C to 110 C in the shade, but most of the time the weather has been simply perfect, bright, breezy days and cool,comfortable nights, and just enough rain to keep thing's green. There were far more scorching days and hot nights last July and August, in frozen Canada, than we have had during a "summer in sunny Australia. I, of coarse, refer to the part of Victoria I have spent the sum- mer in, which, I am told, is about the coolest part of Australia. The receipts of the colony of Victoria, for the year ending in March, have just been published, -and may be of interest to readers of the'Eila, as showing what a little State, with one million inhabi- tants, can do in the way of revenue raising. "mummer" Is Not Stang. Even students of language may be sur- prised to hear that the word "bummer" is not only not slang, but it is not even an Americanism, being ,found in the "English Market By -Laws" of 200 years ago, and ap- pears in several advertisements in The Lon- don Publick Intelligences of the year 1660 under tho form blimmareo. It originally meant a man vvbo retails fish by peddling outside of the regular market. Thele per- sons being looked down upon and regarded as cheats by the established dealers, the name became ono of contempt for a dishonest per- son of irregular habihv. The word first ap• peered b the United States during the450s in California and traveled eastward, until dur- ing the civil war it came into general use. - Chicago News.

All these, and others, are in the employ of the state, and they, with their families and those dependent upon them, have to live out of the seven or eight millions of pounds that the colony raises annually. Nobody seems to know where all the money comes from, for a very small portion of the population are producers of wealth. Ajon:it COSExs. , 44+,,800 ;grain.

The anti: tient seiegtists, Tyndall,. Huxley and Bea, le endorse this, and the authorities cannot be disputed. The regular method of treat- ing these diseases has been to apply an ir- ritant remedy weekly. and even daily,thus keeping the delicate membr ne in a con- stant state of irration, allowing it no chan- ce to heal, and as a natural consequence of such treatment not one permanent cure has ever been recorded.
