Dear Beacon:
This morning l stood in the
shadow Of St. Paul's and wiped my
nose with a yellow bandanna hand
kerchIef an article SO common here
it looks un-English to be without
one. Shadow, did l say! St, Pauls
or any other Saint that could cast q
shadow in a place where the mist
can be cut with q cheese knife,
must be a blscker Saint than any
in the calender. They say the per-
sistent misteness of London is due
mot dew to the sea, but as London
is not on the sea, | cannot see
through it. 1t is on both sides of
the river Thames, when you can
see across the river, which is per-
haps twice during the year.
But the chimes in a London fog
there is something wierd on a misty,
mysterious Sabbath morning to
hear them, 80 strangely musical,
ring out from the "ivy mantled
towers, when there is a hush Of
the d%iscordant sounds of traffic,
and a subdued movement of the
usually surging humanity Of this
great city. AS in the architecture
of London, there is something mas,
sive in the ebb and flow of the tide
Of humanity here.
1t is not as in New York, q hurry
on q grand scale, but a steady, not
ovcr.hastened mass Of men, women
and children, without that jcrky,
eager motion you see in Ill the
large cities Of America.

minister Abbey, tho only place in
London where a person can indulge
to any great extent in sentiment
as | am credibly informed they dom
let in the fog there, for you can
squeeze much of Thai article out o
a tog, especially if mixed with AZ
cast wind, in a town, too, wher'
the bar keepers don't know bow t.
make n cocktail.
There will be quite a movemen
} from London to ViOnna, or Wyane
as the Germans call it almost il
one syllable, and London will Johl
Bull it there to perfection. 1t is onl,

TuE supreme curse Of the South
the aimlessness Of the lives OF
our young men 10 truth, the only
incentive to their living at oil
seems to be in the hope of easy sit
uations, with salaries adequate to
this ambitious end. OF all the
causes ~repressive to the advance
ment of a people, this is one of the
most fatal. A chronic repugnance
to grapple with things as they ex-
list has checked our growth and
thwarted gu prosperity as a people
We live too much in the Past-not
that we should forget it, but we
should moro than retrieve it. The
necessities ofthe present generation
of young men differ from those of
the Past, and a new education
should teach with what problems
of life they have to deal, what new
sources OF prosperity they must
open, and what lines of action they
must pursue to attain that mental
and physical vigor, without which
a people will become nerveless and
effete. Doubtless our old political
doctrines have much to do with all
this. Many Of our old men will go
to the grave cliugins to these with
a tenacity that cannot be weakened,
standing aIoof as they do from all
participation in the active world
around them.
Our young men must DO the
pioneers in the change that must be
wrought in our modes Of thinking
and acting, for this change must
come; whether it be for the better
or the worse, time alonO can de.
termine. Another change must be
in the displacement of tho old po.
litical hacks, setting them aside
letting them die for want of nutri
ment; they have had their day ant
must stand aside for the a of pro
gress to pass, or be inundated be
meath il.

VIZ have received two circulars,

ths word "rehcl" &C., in Worcester .
E,emonts of History. The contro'
rersy instituted by these circulars
is simply a pecuuiary dodge, and
30 far as any sentiment is CoHcern0d'
il all 0bosh." The first OF these
documents is intended to damage
the circulation of the History ana
70 carom on Worcester's Dictionary
tho reply is intended to secure
thst circulation. Neither OF the
parties are particularly sOlicitouS
about the fame Of DR.. Worcester as
q photographer Or an historian; it
is q matter of dollars and cents
with each of them. The controVer-
sy seems to be founded on the pe-
culiar obnoxious Sosnd Of the word
rebel, and right here we wish to
say there is no reason why tins
word should carry with it the taln'
Of dishonor, even in its broadeS'
Specification; on the contrary we
think otherwise. The word "rebei'
may or may not be associated with
AN unjust cause; SO may the worO
Moyalist." History will vindicate
in time the Justice, or stamp will
injustice all agreements under The
name of rebellion, and to her YER
dict we can appeal to set the seal o
honor or dishonor on the much
abused term, Grebel."
