ASSOCIATIVE ACTION.
We recognize in this Society type of
American want, and Of the democratic
demand for association. A few con-
genial spirits come together; Modera-
tor is appointed: they discuss their needs;
they establish constitution to meet those
needs; they club theirfunds; secretaries
correspond; chapters are formed; con-
ventions are called; we respect the
authority and obey the summons, all the
more readily because it is so true an ex-
preston of the national tendency. We
love associative action; it is the primor-
dial law Of our development; we crysta-
lie normally in that shape. The lamine
is everywhere. You can not 60 so far
away but you shall be enrolled in some
society-for printing campaign docu-
ments-lor horticulture-for repairing
churches for building railways. 1t is
the source of our executive energy. II
makes the grand lifts along republican
level; isolated, we are but pebbles on the
shore; but band up together by affinities
we love and cherish, and there is great
sea.wall, over which the waters can not
come.
SCIENCE AND UTILITY.
1t involves certain degree of hardl-
hood to advocate, nowadays, the re-
fnements ofletters; practical so overshad-
ows and awes US. You and | value
things very much for their palpable and
manifest profit; nor considering enough,
perhaps, what other remoter and larger
profit may grow out of those meditations
or studies, whose terminating power is
slower, more delicate, and less easily
traceable.
Even in science, we rank abstract and
elemental ideas below positive and Prac-
teal development. The man who maps
the tides or the winds so as to shorten
voyages this year or next, is more estI-
mated than the individual who spends
years in determining the position of GER
tain new stars, in establishing the niceties
of longitudinal difference, or discovering
some new metallic base Of an old earthly
matter. And yet it is possible that the
finder may be opening an inves,iga-
lion which sail simplify the whole sub

The Northman sat in his icy home,
As fierce the blast how'd by,
And trimmed his lamp, till its feeting fame
To snowy roof burned high.
Els wealth, without, was the Heeiing deer,
Nor rood of land had he;
The scandsn hills Of his fav'rite cline,
To all her sons were free.
His wealth within, was his sledgen chair,
His wife. and heaps Of fur,
And skin clad babes, that they laughed to see,
In primal pastimes stir.
With hoarser accents staid;
And then they asked that their father, grave,
Would tell where winds were made.

"Beyond the ice bound sea,
An ocean rolls. that has ever been

Upon its bosom play.
These winds are made, as my fathers fOundi

4 LOVE OF A PRINCE.

Jung Bahadoor, the Prince of Nepaul
is expected in England early in the
Spring en- visit to the English Court.
The Prince, who, it will be remembered,
was lately created G. B., is married TO
the eldest daughter of the Rajah of
Coorg, now resident in this country
The Rajsh's second daughter, the Prin-
cess Gauromma, is being educated un-
der the auspices of her Majesty, and
placed by her will with Mrs. Drummond,
at Kew, for that purpose. We have
heard rather romantic story connected
with the reason of Jung Bahadoor assist
Ing the English with his brave band Of
Ghoorkas, but it is from such an excel
lent source that we place all reliance in
it. 1t is to the effect that, during the
stay of the Nepaulese Prince in this
country, he became deeply smitten with
lady of great rank and beauty, and
offered her marriage. Birth and creed
alike forbade the union with the noble
Asiatic, but, ere he quilted the shores
of England, he prayed the acceptance of
small token of his esteem, a beautiful
Oriental ring, which the lady with much
reluctance accepted. 1t was accompa-
MED by the singular promise that if she
ever had a command TO make, wish to
DC carried out, lhereturn OF - ttea ta-lsman-
ic rim to his Highness would insu.re us
due performance. As the story goes,
the lady, in high rank, returned the Jew
el, with the wish that Jung Bah%door'
would revenge the foul and horrl2
slaughter other countrywomen at Cawh-
pore. How the Prince has fulfilled his
promise every Englishman knows, and
will testify their estimation of his daring
when he reaches Court Jour.

A LORD THEY NEVER HEARD or

Grant Thornburn--"Laurie Todd
who is now an hale old man of 80 years,
appears in the New York papers with
something good. Here is his last.
"In 1774, DR.. Webster was a popular
preacher of the Kirk of Scotland, in Ed
inburgh. Business brought him to Lon
don, and one day when passing the
House of Lords, his curiosity induced
him to make an effort TO step in and see
them. None were admitted without an
order, except noblemen's servants
Webster being ignorant of the rule, re-
quested admittance. "What Lord do
you belong TO-" said the door keeper
"To the Lord Jehovah" replied Web
ster. "The Lord jehovah" repeated
the keeper, 81 have kept here seven
years, but have never heard OF such a
Lord; jack" said he to his fellow keep
er on the front steps, "here's chap,
who says he belongs to the Lord Jeho-
yah; do you know such a Lord?" ''Nev-
er heard of him." says Jack. "But,"
said Webster, (willing to keep up the
illusion) "there is such Lord
"Pass'em in,' said Jack, 81 s'pose its
some poor Scotch Lord"
This occurred at period when there
was not one in twenty Of all the manu-
featuring and rural districts in England,
who could read the Bible or write his own
name. Sabbath schools were introdu-
ced in 1888. Now the people are intel
ligent and happy, and cannot only read
and write. but have found out who the
'..Lord Jehovah" is.

ing:
Lost wealth may be restored by IN
dustry, the wreck of health regained by
temperance; forgotten knowledge restored
by study; alienated friendship smOothed
into love; forfeited reputation won by
patience and virtue; but who ever looked
upon his vanished hours, recalled his
slighied years, stamped them with wis
dom, or effaced from Heavens record
the fearful blot of wasted time. The
footprint on the sand is washed out by
the ocean wave and easier might we,
when years are fed, find that footprint,
than recall lost hours.

THE HISTORY or A GUN.

An old gun has been added the cabinet of the Wis
consin Historical Society. Its history is as follows
The gun the property of John Prescott and was
brought by him from WORCESTERSHIRE England who went
first Barbadoes and owned land there in 1885, and
came to England about I640. In 1916 Sholan, the In
dian proprietor of Nashnwog, offered to him and other
persons a tract of land ten miles in length, which
accepted and the general court subsequently confirmed
the deed The town named lancaster in the pres
emit county of Worcester Massachusetts John Prescott
had occasion this gun during King Philips Indian
war of 1875 IN OCCASION tradition has it, num-
Der of Indians made their appearance at Prcscots old
mill and hoisted the water gate when Prescott took his
gun heavily loaded and started towards the MILL when
fixed the MILL thought it prudent to retrace his steps, but
did backwards with his eye upon the foe until he
reached his house, when the Indians raised a whoop
when Prescott concluded TO give them specimen of his
g,nmnnship and as be shot, they scampered of. At
forwards visiting the spot where the Indians when
he shot Mt them blood found upon the ground The
Indians ever after kept clear of the Prescott neghbor
hood. Mr. Prescott had at least children and
among them was the Hon Benjamin Prescott the ftler
of Col VIM Prescott, who commanded at Bunker Hill,
and of Judge William Prescott, of Boston, and great
grandfather of VIM Prescott, the historian. The old
gun in question wns given by Prescott his daughter
Tabithia wife of Silas Brigham who in her old age

and by him presented 10 the society Prescott Brigham
