in those days had to carry papers through
the country on horseback, and our route

shine, that old Mr.. Taylor did not meet us
at the end of the lane with happy smile,
wishing us good day, and as we would

POcsscaI Prophecies.

Scholars tell us that the Roman word
cates means equally poet and prophet
Certainly some Of the prophets were eX-
celent poets; and many of the poets havo
made prophecies whose subsequent fulfill
ment would seem to prove that the gift
and faculty divine includes the power OF
vaticinalion. The truth is, the highest
effort of a sane Imagination does not ex-
ceed possible fact. The poets dream OF
yesterday is the Savdb's theory of to-day,
and the practical mans achievement to-
morrow. Over and over again this has
happened. DIR. Darwin, a poet, predicted
the wonders of steam navigation. 1t was
in song, and very fine one, too, that
Berkley predicted the westward course OF
empire So the bards of this generation
have predicted, some of them very dis
tiuctly, the A llantic Cable. Several years
ago a Boston poet, discoursng OF the
march of Science, wrote these lines:
"Even the lightnngs, by wondrous skill,
Are tanned for hcralds Of her sovereign Will;
From out her path each bold opposcr hurled,
| She throws her girdle round "A captive wOrld."

And meckIy with my harsher nature bore,
And deeper grew, and tendcrer TO the last,

A Wait thee there; for thou hast bowed thy Will
In chse rful homage to the rule of right,

shrink and consume my heart, US heat the scroll
And wrath has left its scar-that fire OF hell
Has left its frghtful scar upon my soul.
Yet thou wearest the glory of the sky,
Wilt thou not keep the same beloved name,
The same fair thoughtful brow, and gentle eye,

Martins hope was not a delusion.
The only heart beat in all that village
which had beat kindly toward him in his
boyish orphanage was ali his now. He
asked Leda if she would be lis wife, and
the moisture came again to those bright

And then-and not till then-did he
tell her of the ample fortune he had made
more than he could speud in frugal
living in lifetime. And fnally-it was
an hour before Martin took Leda to his

aside and asked him:

Idoaa of Economy.

Mr. buchanan, in his message. admits that the
revenue Of the country is wholly inadequate to
the expenditures Of the country upon their pres
ent scale. The public debt ON the lst of July, in
the present year, was S5i0l0.I72 66. to which
sum that of sloOO0,oo0 the remaining half of
the loan authorized on the llth of june, is to be
added making the total public debt within few
dollars Of sixty.fvc millions. Upon this state Of
things the President observes first that to resort
To lonns 10 meet the ordinary expenses Of the gov
crnment would be ruinous policy; second, that
the revenues must be increased by an amendment
of the tariff in some particulars; and third, TINT
rigid economy must be prnctised. On this latter
point be dwcs with some minutcness. The OBJ
ects of expenditure should be reduced in number
and what appropriations are necessary should lie
strictly scru,nzcd. lie has instructed the De-
partments to cut down their estimates, and prom
ises to aid Congress to do this to even greater
extent.
This reads we'll. But now let us see how the
President practices what hc recommends to Con-
gress, bearing in mind that the public debt is al
ready sixty-fye millions of dollars, and ,he pub
lie dcbt is not adequate to the public expenditures
even of the most ordinary character. Under
these circumstances he accompanies his homily
Oh economy with the following recommendations,
and these in addition to the ordinary nppropr,a
ton bills.
|. The purchase Of Cuba,
Q The establishment Of an indefinite number
lof military posts in Sonora and Chihuahua, and
the support ofan army to occupy them.
g. The employment Of the army and navy
to open aud keep open the Nicaragua transit
route.
!. The employment of the army and navy for
the same purpose with reference 20 the Panama
route.
5. The employment of the army and navy FOR
the same purpose with respect to the Tehuantepec
route
6. A resort to war with Costa Eica and Nj
