The ScoTcH LAp's IDEA oE THE Coz

knowing that his young friend was no
very profound in his theology, and, mol
wishing to dicourage him, or keep hin
from the table unless compelled to do SO
began by asking what be thought safe
question, and what would give him conf
dence. So he took the Old Testament,
and asked him, in reference to the Mosaic
law, how many commandments there were!
After little thought he put his answer in
The modest form Of supposition, aud re-

hunnsr." The Clergyman was vexed, and
told him such ignorance was intolerable,
that be could not proceed in the examina.
ton, and that the youth must wait and
learn more. So he went away. On re
turning home he met friend on his way
hthe manse, and, on learning that he
TOO was going to the minister for examina
tOu, shrewdly asked him, "Weel, what
will ye say moo if the minister ask you how

mat many persons took it over to the noun

Mn. Anderson, who took it from the farm
xaere it originated. In the year 1902, a

OUR Policy TOWARDS ENGLAND.-The re
lection of tho Dallas Clarendon treaty, and
especially the futile grounds on which En-
gland hns thrust it aside, should be q lessor
to the United States to keep clear, fol
the future Of any "entangling" treaties Will
the foreign powers. The best policy for
the public is TO initiate the present attitude
of England and France, towards each
knows that any Infringement, by either, on
the rights of the other, will not be submit.
ted to for moment. This wholesome fear,
this community Of interest, is the only solid
ground on which nations can stand, in their
relations to each other. Treaties become
mere waste paper, the moment this com
munity OF interest ceases; and while it re.
mains, treaties are superogatory. The en-.
tire experience of the United States, in its
efforts to arrange, with England, Central
American affairs by treaty, demonstrates
the truth Of this position. 1t would have
been better for this republic, at least, il
neither the Claytou-Bulwer treaty, nor any
Of its successors, had ever been inaugurated.
Whatever were the motives of the Lord
Palmerston in refusing to approve Of the
treaty, the fact may be used to our advan-
taGe, and refusal Of the president to enter
tain the proposition for renewal of nego
tiations, will meet the approval of every
sensible and patriotic citizen. The clear
policy of this republic is to obrogate the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty; to be nafcttered in
our relations with European powers; and
so be able to protect our own interest, at
all times, at moments notice. 1t is be.
meath the United States to be engaged in
this paltry game Of double shuttle with Lord
Palmcrston. Let him go his way and let
us take ours. American diplomatistS are
not political and professional jugglcrs, tc
take delight in successful trickery. Phi

Persevere.

I'd not give up mo! grim despair
Should never forge a chain for me,
Whilst thus breathed my native air,
Within q land Of liberty
No bastard were that soul that covers,
Within free born land like ours.
IA not give up though every frown
That Fortunes face is wont to wear
Should rob me Of the small renown
That may have been my humble share
Should thwart my every wish and will
Freedom, through ell, I'd WOO thee still!
Shame on the weak and craven heart,
That bows beneath each transient SORROW,
without the nerve to pluck the dart,
And greet the sunrise Of the morrow
Withoutthe will--for will is power
To pluck the thorn, and Gull the flower!
For what ITO man, Is manhood given?
For what his varied powers of mind?
For what his every hope of Heaven,
When earths fair gifts have been resigned
II not to brave misfortune's thrall,
And rise superior to them all! ...
Then rise that dropping brow Of thino
Resolve-and then ENDEAvoa!
Give sorrow to the laughing wind,
With fear and doubt forever!
Press onward, and despond no more
Thy motto be, EXCELSIOR"
