overwork.

There was William Pitt, dead at forty
nine, carrying the British empire on his
shoulders for q quarter of century, and
attempting to carry pint of port wine
daily and pinch of opium. in his stomach,
and laundering in mid. ocean from this
over cargo. What wreck was that when
Brinsley Sheridan went to pieces on the
breakers of intemperance and overwork
There, too, was Mirabeau, that prodigy of
strength and health, of versatility and tai
emf, killed by the overwhelming labors and
excitements of the tribune and the orgies
of Cyprian hells. Sergeant s. Prentiss at
tempted the double task and if ever q
man might with impunity, he could, with
leonine health and marvellous mental gifts.
Said distinguished Mississippi lawyer to
me, "Prentiss would sit UP all night gam.
bling and drinking, and then go into
court next day and make better plea in
all respects than could, or anybody else
at the bar ofour State, even though we
studied our case half the night and slept
the rest. He tried it, and in the trying
burned to the socket in forty one years the
lamp of life that had been trimmed to last
fourscore. A draft upon the constitution
in behalf of appetite is just as much draft
as in behalf of work and if both are hab-
itually preferred together, bankruptcy and
ruin are sure and swift.

SCRIPTURAL MoNosYLLABLEs.--To one
whose attention has not been drawn partic-
ularly to the subject, it will be surprising
to call to mind how many of the most sub
lime and comprehensive passages in the
English language consist wholly or chiefly
of monosyllables. Of the sixty-six words
composing the Lords Prayer, forty-eight
are of one syllable. Ofthe seventeen words
composing the Golden Rule, fifteen are of
one syllable. The most expressive idea of
the creative power of Jehovah is expressed
entirely in monosyllables: sand God said,
let there be light, and there was light
One of the most encouraging promises of
Scripture is expressed in fifteen words all
but one of which are monosyllables: 81 love
them that love me-and those that seek
me early shall find me-"

Across the River.
When for me the silent oar
Parts the silent River,
And stand upon the shore
or the strange Forever,
shall l miss the loved and known?
Shall vainly seek mine own?
Mid the crowd that comes to meet
Spirits sin.forgiyen-
Listening to their echoing feet
Down the streets of heaven
Shall know footstep near,
That l listen-wait for, here?
Then will one approach the brink
With a hand extended,
One whose thoughts l loved to think
Ere the veil was rended,
Saying "Welcome we have died,
And again are side by side'
Saying, II will go with thee,
That thou be not lonely,
To yon hills Of mystery;
have waited only
Until now, to climb with thee
Yonder hills of mystery"
Can the bonds that make us here
Know ourselves immortal,
Drop away like foliage scar,
At lifts inner portalI
What is hottest below
Must foreyerlivc and glow.

After l have found them
In the mansions where they dwell,
With the glory round them,
But at first, without surprise,
Let me look in human eyes.
Step by step our feet must go
Up the holy mountain;
Drop by drop within us flow
Lifcs unfaiIng fountain.
Angels sing with crowns that bun
We shall have a song to learn
lie who on our earthly path
Bids us help each other
Who his Well-Beloved hath
Made our Elder brother

Closer when we meet above.
Therefore dread not to go
Der the Silent River.
Death, thy fastening oar know:
Bear me, thou Life-giver,
Through the waters, to the shore,
Where mine own have gone before!

Commons tonight, in accordance with the notice
previously given, Mr.. Gladstone moved that the
House 60 into Committee on the bill for the Dis
establishment of the Irish Church.
Mr.. Newdegate CONSERVATIVE member for North
Warwickshire moved as amendment that the Honse
go into Committee ON the bill six months from Sa-
present day.
This motion was equivalent to an indefinite post
nonement. A lively debate followed, during which
Mr. r. S. Aytown, member for Kirkaldy, created
sensation by declaring his objection to that clause
in the bill which provided for the support OF
Maynooth College. Mr.. Aytown is Liberal,
and voted with the majority in the DIVISION

second reading. His declaration was followed by

sition cheered repeatedly, and counter-cheers and
other Interruptions came from tho ministerial
benches. When Mr. AytOwn ended his remarks, the
confusion subsided and debate was continued. Most

been built up by the old policy Of England, which
had lately been partially reversed, and was now
about to be finally and completely abandoned. He
concluded by declaring that the success Of this bill
was not question of party, but Of justice.
Mr. Disraeli followed. He dsapproved of division
on Mr.. Newdegate's motion for postponement, and
said he was anxious to go into Committee on the
bill The House then divided on the original motion
