When all aloud the ',rind dab blow,
An I clowshing drowns the pareon's saw,
And birds sit brooding in Um snow,
And Marian's nose loolos red and raw.

But •no one has explained the phenomenon. though
everybody must have observed it. Why is a cough
worst during the prayer.? Wh7 is it that people who
have coughs can always reutrafh them in a theatre—
such a thing am the interruption of an interesting soen•
by coughing being quite unknown? If in a theatre,
why not ins church? These are questions which we
merely submit to the ingenuity of our readers, for no
answer to them is known to us.

Now that the policy of the country is mainly dictated
by the " =lido-hall cad," it would be only fair and
indeed cordial to meet that interesting young gentle-
man upon his own gronnd. Let us at once, says the
Jixamaintr, show our readiness to fight for Constand•
nople, or—for the matter of that—for anything else,
by immediately imaging upon a conscription. Men
over 20 or 35, married men, and the eldest sons of
widow., would, of course, be exempt. The howling
rabies who sing, "We don't want to fight, but, by
Jingo U we do," and who pass • vote of confidence in
the Government as the Ivies of a free admiration to
Cremonie, would be dragged into the net. A year of
good hard drill at Aldershot, or Chstham, or Ports-
mouth would teach these young gentlemen what war
really means, and might perhaps also go some way
towards teaching them manners. The opinion, it may
be remembered, of Mr. Weller the elder was that EI
he had his way with " the shepherds " he would have
stuck each of them behind a good heavy barrow, and
have made him run it up and down a plank all day,
with a view to "shaking the nonsense out of him." A
somewhat similar policy might not, perhaps, be alto-
gether without its effect upon the musio-kall cad.

PEACE OR WAR.
To the Editor.

Tire answer to this question appears to we to now
entirely depend upon our exercising as • nation sufficient
self-control, and whilst giving free play to our reasoning
faculties, hobling in subjection our prejudices and
passion. Russia. like ourselves, is • great aspiring and
growing power, the wiestion we have to decide is, whether
we will live and grow together as Daiwa, in peace, Con-
cord, and amity, or, whether coinitant arid unworthy
jealousies shall engender constant wars. For Mr Part I
would advocate themobl, course, and as the higher and
educated, and more ,ivilised power, would, both by pre-
vent and example, prove to her that it is not only the
worthier but the wiser course. Surely in this wide
world there is room enough for us both, roost sincerely do
I trust that no hasty words or actions rrf ours will precipi-
tate us ISt, a roost calamitous and bloody war, that ran
produce nothing future but strife and unavailing regrets.

This match (Association (ules) was played at Port-
land on Saturday, the 16th inst., in wretched weather,
and resulted in a victory for the Dorset County
School by two goals to one. The game lasted
one hour and twenty minutes. The school woo
the toes, and elected to play up bill with the wind
in their favour. During the first half of the game the
ball was as often "in - touch" as "In play." owing
chiefly to the limited size of the ground. The game
was "fast" throughout, and until " ends " were
changed, seemed entirely in favour of the School, who
had secured two pals (got by Kelly and Loader), and
had kicked several corners, without any other result.
After half-time, however, the Portlanders waxed
vigour-ma, and by a combination of skill and energy
secured a goal (thanks to Westland). For the School
the forward play of Davy and the goal keeping of
Grant, and or the Portlanders the aids play of
West/end, were much admired. The sides were:—
florist County School : S. Kelly (captain), G.
Henley (left side), H. Ayles, E. Cox (right side), Mr.

many other agricultural labourers, bet to go with hall

party who were bolstering up the scions of the
aristocracy, and giving them penzions for acing
nothing ,while the blood of the labourers was being shed
and their families starved.

WORKING LEN'S INSTITUTE.
To L. &Woo.

Sir,—l observed the above heading in the Telegrams
of lilt week. As I find this doer not refer to the
institute in .South-etrent, where there are only •
handful of real working men, and, as I suppose, it
cannot mean to refer to the club in Northinuare,
where there is scarcely one of our clam, I imagine it
i• the intention of Lord Alingtou to start • new
inktitnte. Would it not be better to unite our forces
and remember reify is stress& I think our town is
too small for so many objects of the same kind.
