STILL MARCHING OS.-The st. Louis Republican has

would to the end of its journey on the day when
the President proclaimed the adoption of the fifteenth
amendment. 1t had begun 10 felicitate the great
champion marchst that his walking match was over at
last and that he might sit down and rest himself
with the that if any walking was re-
quired, somebody else would have to do it. The pleas
ing hope delusion, for Wendell Phillips cruelty
forces that poor old mans soul to keep marching on
much beyond the original contract is the march
ng," asks the Republican, ''of his accord, do
his relentless masters of the Radical party compel him
march for their amusement? Is it essential to that
partys existence that he should be kept on the go?
But he must stop sometime or other, and when he
stops-what tbeu?"
What then? The answer is easy enough. Some
philosopher has discovered that if the earth should
stop but for single moment it would be burned to
crisp. So in this casecheck that old mans spirit in
its march and the Radical party would be consumed in
a twinkling.

ries edited by CHARLOTTE VI. YONGE 1.-THE author Of 1.-THE
Heir Of RodelyfeO, and published by Macmillan & Co.
II contains eight of the dearest old friends OF youth
the chdrens classics Of the last generation and truly
adays find nothing that seems quite so good in
this class Of literature We print chdrens books at the
day much better than used to- but we
don't write them well, because write for little
men and women instead of little boys and girls. The
tales which Miss YOnge has tried to from unde
served include othe simplest and best the
old style One of them is The History Of Philip Quar"
whereof we have pleasant and grateful recolectons.
It used to be attributed to the pen of Daniel Defoe,
but for this there TO be authority and there
is nothing in the style which reminds OF Robinson
Urusoe." 1.-THE Renowned History Of little GOOdy
Fwoshoes has been credited perhaps, with no better
reason, TO Oliver Goldsmith Miss Yonge is inclined to
believe that it written by Goldsmith piece Of
booksellers hack work. and it is not at all improbable
that she is right. 1.-THE GOverness' better known as
"Mrs. Teach 'em'O, "Jemina Placid" 1.-THE Per
