Two Pfcturesof Death

In a scsntily furnished chamber
lies an old Scotch minister with thin,
gray hair, and wrinkled skin. But
his brow is high and broad his deep
set eyes are bright and piercing; q
smile plays around his lips; and
though feeble and dying, he looks
calm and happy. Let us speak to
him and say
"Do you think yourself dying
dear sir?'
He fixes his eye calmly upon you,
and slowly replies
"Really, friend, / care not wheth-
er l am or not for if die, shall be
with God If / live, He will be with
me-"
Now let us step into yonder man.

chamber, we find dignifled person

seated in large easy-chair- He,
too, is feeble and dying but the
light in his eyes is unsteady, and he
looks like man Ill at ease with
himself. Let us also ask him q ques

Circuulocutiou.

An English paper tells of circum.
locution in the British War Office. II
says there is tradition, said to b>
concerning a clerk in the
War Office, who once wanted a peg
whereupon to hang his hat. To save
the expense OF carpenter he applied
for a hammer and nail with which to
drive it in himself. Six months passed
before he received any answer to his
request, and he had long ago set up
a peg of his own, when special mes:
senger of the Tower arrived in Pail
Mall, with hammer, sent to him at
last, through the medium Of number
less acquisitions and authorizations.
At the same time he was informed
that it was not the province Of the
Tower officials to supply nails, but
that those would come to him from
WoOlwioh, and after q few months
further waiting, they really did ar.
rive-a pound of nails, brought by q
great ambulance wagon, with its hall
dozen horses and. its dozen attend
ants.

Social Condition of England.


The London Review devoted its
leading article for the new year to a
retrospect and confession. The
confession is certainly candid; cat
this time there is no country, no
matter how embarrassed or how
poor, in which there.is SO much pres
sing and painful poverty, so much
vice, so much misery, as in England.
We have failed with our lower clas-
ses to such an extent that in the
country we find some of them work
ing like cattle, while in the towns we
do not know what to do with them
until they are ripe for dropping into
the seething pool Of vice and crime.
With all our wealth, and England is
a wealthy country, We have not sue
ceeded in distributing happiness or
content in the proportion of which
we could be more proud. We find
massed against us a gloomy and
threatening spirit of insubordinatiOn,
and gathering of Ominous elements,
from which voices are heard, that
having broken down in our task we
should give it up to those who would
change all things. Criticism is no
longer function limited to one
class. Our future masters begin to
take stock and value of us.
"In that social life in which most
of us are concerned, which may be
placed above the reach of sordid
wants, can we congratulate ourselves
upon o distinct advance Around
us on all sides, we learn of families
living upon fictitious incomes, we
find rate of increase in the taste for
iuxuries so ncOmmensurate with the
means for getting them honestly,
that people satisfy the craving with
q recklessness which brings ruin
upon them. Comfort is word, the
meaning of which is beginning to
disappear. Every one desires to be
rich and those who are not rich, keep
up the pretense until the wolf is at
the door,"
