TRIALS OF AN 7

ny KATH EEutIE.
How onen we think when reading the news,
An editor could please ifhe choose
Bat such apaperss this, whyall must agreo
That a thing Of less interest they never did Sec,
But, Sir Critic, reflect ere you make a noise on,
That one mans meat is auolher maRis poison.
And, lest you persist in your steady denials,
Wen give you a few ofan EDITORS trials.
First, a pretty young lady, sprightly and fair,
With a paper in hand, waltzss up TO a chair,
And hastily CHANGING DER all that she saw,
She throws 1t aside with n muItered "pshsw!"
No marriages. hero
Think il is queer, :.
When thereA ever 50 many,
They don't publish any.
Here's poetry, And battles,
Sketches, And seiges,
And tales Ardlaw suits
Without ending, Apending,
But no pienics, or concerts, or parties for mo,
suehstrash on paper lneverdid see.f
Then, a nice young man, witt cane and moustache,
Who certainly lhiukshe is scouting a dash,
Looks over tho list of plays and soireos,
As If yainly trying his fancy to please,
In theatres, In races,
CircusSs, And chases,
Operas, In banqnets
Balls, And calls,
Aud finally wonders what editors mean
By printing a paper not 1T TO be seen,
Sentimental young lady next picks up the paper,
And reads BY tho light ola dim burning taper,
And wonders II lines here addressed TO Miss Rella
We're not written to hsrby some clever young fellow
Who's pretty and witty, and learned and wise;
Bat she stopsin alarm at the "eark hazel eyes,
For hers are doep blue,
Whata pity Ills true,
And now, Mr.. Editor,
'Tis all blamed on you.
What speeches, And having,
Aud sermons, And jawing,
And news Aud clawing
BY dispatch, To match;
But no sketches or tales that1 canrsse-
What kind Of man must the editor boz
Next a gravo poiiiieian'@ho with dignity glows,
Adjusts his gold speetaclcs over his nose,
Takesa huge pinch Of sruG before he proceeds,
Then opens the paper and lsisursly reads
or brooches, ofsenato,
And speeches, ofhouss,
And foreign OF railways
ROpcrts, Aud courts,
Aud says, "a he reads the last column ofwar,
Wlata strange kind OF people these editors are,
These rhymes and the love ~storiesto print,
If'rwould do any good would give Them a hint.

He Loves Her Memory Nov.

lie loved her when youths merry beam.
Was sparklingin her eye,
He loved her when life seemed dream,
Without a tear or sigh.
He loved her when the sunny smile
Mas lighting up her brow
That eye is closed-that smile is fed:
He loves her memory now.
He loved her when the bloom of health
Was fresh upon her cheek;
He loved her when her kindly voice
In gentle tones would speak.
He loved her ere the hand of care
Was planted on her brow
Her voice is hushed-that bloom is dead;
lie loves her memory now
lie loved her when he saw the rose
Upon her cheek decay,
He loved her though he knew its glow
Was passing fast away.
He loved her when beneath life's storm
He saw her meskly bow
The storm is past, and she is gone;
Hsloves her memory now.
lie loved her when her eye grew cold,
And lost its starry light.
He loved her when the sad tear tod
Ofearly coming blight.
He loved her when her hand he pressed,
And breathed his earnest vow,
She smiled reply, and he was blessed
He loves her memory now.
He loved her when her huttering breath
Came bearing many sigh;
He loved her when in chilly death
He saw her sleeping lie.
lie loved her when the tomb's cold seal
Was resting on her brow
He often wanders near her grave
And loves her memory now.

The streamlet murmured soft and low,
Mean dering mid the sLadowing trees,
And as its gentle tones arose,
UPlifted By the slightest breeze,
sat upon a moss grown stone,
That served the streamlet for shore.
And bent my ear to catch the tone,
AS low it whispered "Eyermore I"
And mid the flowers, and through the glen,
With ceasel,ss haste it passed along,
No Turing bank nor rocky steep,
Could stop the cadence ofits song;
a rainbow sat upon the spray,
The messenger of harm 10 more,
The water bounded on its.way,
And stil repeated "Evermore.
The strea1nlet grew a mighty tide.
Fed by q thousand mountain rills,
And mirrored in its moving wavos,
The forest Of thousand hills.
But as the boat-nan chants his song,
Timed to the FLASHING OF the car,
His tunefnl notes the waves prolong,
And eehoswsetly "Evermore."
So. soft and low in early days;
So. roughly tossed in youthful strife,
So, broad ana deep in later years,
Flows On the Fastening stream Of life.
Our bark afoat, the current strong,
We drift rot slowly towards the shore,
And each fresh gale that watts along.
Repeats more clear the S. aTiling sorg.
List. list, what means it? E -ermore."

GEEANINGS FROM PAPERS
With Editorial Sprinklings.

DR.. Philip Barne t, of Colchester,
Delaware county, was recently tried
for giving Mrs. Williams the small
pox. DR.. Barnet called at the house
of Mrs. Williams to vaccinate the
family at time when the smallpox
was raging somewhat in Colchester,
and by direction of Mr. W who was
going from home. Mrs. W.. declin-
ed having it done, and DR.. B: went
only as far as the outer door; but
some weeks after. Mrs. w, broke out
with the small pox, and charged that
it vas brought there by DR., B
The proof showed that DR., B. was
cautious-more SO than physicians
generally In such cases; and although
the small .pex was taken somehow,
the court held that DR.. B, could not
be held fo- communicating it.
The 6rst Presbyterian church in
this country was organised in Phila-
delphia, about the year 1908. It's
first pastor was Rev. Jedediah An
drews, who continued to exercise bis
ministry in that charge until his
death, in TAT. The first Presby-
terry was organised under the name
of the Presbytery of Philadelphia,
about the year 1705; and the first
person licensed and ordained by this
body to preach, was Mr. John Boyd,
in the following year. The first syn
cd was formed in Philadelphia, in
1717.. The first general assembly
was held in Philadelphia, in 1889,
and was composed Of four synods and

impossible to overstate the importance OF the
position in which the country stands, or the Sc
riOus responsibility that rests upon her MajeS-
tvs Government with regard to the course they
may take at this yiuncture; and should there
fore have thought that the noble lord would not
have compelled me to put to him this question
namely, whether her Majesty's Government,
since Parliament last met nave come to any
conclusion as to tho course which they would
advise her Majesty to pursue, and whether they
are prepared to state what that course may be +?
