Peeping Through the Blinds.

In place of books or work or play,
Some ladies' spend the live long day
In scanning every passer by,
And many wonder they descry,
They find among the motley crowd
That some are gay, and some are proud;
That some are short and some are tall
They get their information all,
BY peePing through the blinds.
You walk the streets-a common pace
You catch the outline of face;
The face seems strange, again you look,
Dear srs, she knows you like book
She knows the color of your hair,
The very style of clothes you wear;
She knows your business, I'll be bound,
And all your friends the country round,
BY peeping through the blinds.
She knows the Smiths across tho way,
And what they dine on every day;
And thinks that their Matilda Jane
Is growing very proud and vain;
She knows the Browns in Number four,
Just opposite her very door,
Folk quite as poor as they can be,
For doa't they sit ond sew. while she
Is pceping through the blinds Z
Dear ladies', if you don't succeed
In gaining knowledge that you need,
Then at the window take your seat.
And gaze into the busy street;
Full soon you'll read your neighbors well,
Aud can their lasts and habits tell;
And know their habits TO Il,
Much better than your own You see,
BY peeping through the blinds.

English Newspaper Writing.

A writer compares the modes of making a
a newspaper" in England and America. For
our part, we think many of the English news
papers poorly made up. and not we'll writ
ten. In transferring a paragraph even from
the Court Journal to our own, we frequently
md 1t necessary to correct the grammar or
alter the wording so as to make it merely reada-
BILE, to say nothing of style or elegance. Eng
lSn newspaper Leaders" are, it is true, finished
and scholarly, but they do not make up for
the shortcomings in the other columns and
departments of the paper As magazinists,
particularly, American writer's will not bear
comparison with the English. You may 60
into any periodical store and place your hand,
hap-hazard, among pile of English maga-
zines, and almost be sure of bringing out a
better volume than is issued monthly anywhere
on this side of the water. Nor can we COM
pare with tine English as nOVelsts, Tor with
the French, either, for that matter;) but, in
9cttfhg up @ ne'cSp0pcT, we agree with the
writer that we are ahead He says:-"AS
newspapers, the London journals are an age
behind those of New York. Take out the
reports of debates of Parliment, and the tee.
grams which Reuter- sells all the papers alike
and what remains? A few local items, gene
rally day or two old, and several columns oil
eXcellently written essays, called leaders.
These leaders are to the English press what
the news Is to the AmericOn press-its char
acterlstlc feature. The nearer London Jour
nal resembles daily Eitnburgh RcCictv the
better it is considered. The longer the
leaders are Of an English paper the greater i,
supposed to be its popularity. When al
American journalist discovers bit of important
news he puts it in as few words as possible
and gives it large heading, 50 that it may
attract the reader at once An English jour
nalist, on the contrary, puts his bit of new
into as many words as possible, beating it ou
like gold leaf, enyclopiag it in an unabridged
dictionary, and leaving the reader to hunt i
| out il he can, as man might dive for six
pence thrown into the Atlantic Ocean. Eacl
system has its advantages, and comparison
may perhaps improve both Of them little

Waiting,

The stars on his pathway,
The trees bend back their leaves
To guide him to the meadow,
Among the golden sheaves
Where stand l, longing, loving,
And listening as wait
To the nightingale's wild singing
Sweet singing to her mate.
My thought flows into rythm.
For the music in the air
Ileralds my lovers coming,
And tells me he is there.
Come, for my arms are empty!
Come, for the day was long!
Turn the darkness into glory,
The sorrow into song.
1 hear his footfal's music,
l feel his presence near;
All my soul responsive answers,
And tells me he is here.
o, stars, shine out your brightest!
o, nightingale, sing sweet,
And guide him to me, waiting,
And speed the flying feet.
