The people of Boston have lately enjoyed i
rare intellectual treat in u course Of Lowell
Institute lectures given by Mr.. james It.
Fields, upon English literature We are
pleased to note that Mr.. Fields bore testimony
against the unwhoiesomo influence of the
distinguished writer's who eulogize the social
drinking usages. In his lecture on John
Wilson {" Christopher North y Mr.. Fields,
as reported in a Boston journal. said "he did
not like Wilson's gorifcation of the chase of
the deer, even though it was garnished with
the flowers of diction. Neither did he ap-
prove of his allowing his genius to celebrate
the revels over the whiskcy,iug, for such
features were a blot on any literary cscutcl-
con. Burns, Moore, and Wilson cncircled the
baccharalan bowl with the sull-bright
flowers of fancy, but they only served to hide
the bitter dregs from the young who only
seized the band of roscs.v These are timely
and manly words from Mr.. Fields, which
both the writers and readers of to-day will
do well to heed.

A lawyer who consumes three hours in ar
gung question of law relating to the owner
ship of a barrel of apples, is indignant at his
minister for exceeding twenty-five minutes in
unfolding one Of the great principles of NOR
ality, on the observance of which the whole
existence of society depends. The judge who
fills two hours with his "opinions " ON the
right of a counsel to challenge q Witness
grumbles at his minister because he has pro-
longed the discussion of fundamental laws of
human existence to thirty minutes. The ply
sicial who takes ten minutes to prepare the
medicine for the headache is neryously restive
if his minister spends twice so many in at
tempting to relieve a chronic heart-ache. The
belle who has spent, how long {? in adjusting
the bows of her bonnet, is remorseless in her
criticisms on the minister who does not finish
his meditations ON the character of God in
fifteen minutes. The fop who has combed
and perfumcd and waxed his beard and mus
tache for an hour, is mortified past endurance
if the poor minister is not through his discus
sion of the immortal life " inside of twenty
minutes"

Macklin was once lecturing upon literature
and the stage, and in discussing the education
of memory, boastcd that he could repeat any
formula of words after once hearing it.
Footo was in the audience, and at once wrote
and sent to the stand that riginarole that has
since become so famous $50 she went into
tho garden To cut a cabbage leaf to make an
apple pic at the same time great she bear,
coming up the street, pops its head into the

she very imprudcntly married the barber ;
and there were present the Picininies, the
Jobilillics. and the Gayrulies, and tho Grand
Panjandrum himself, with the little round
button at the top; and they all fell to playing
the game Of catcl-as-catcli can till the gun.

! COMPARATIVE RESULTS OF COLLEGE EDU-
cATIoN.-A Princeton College undergraduate
suggests the institution of intercollegiate
contests in scholarship, essay writing and ora
tory, and says that, unlike college regettas,
such contests would not require the sending Of
a band Of men to a wilderness and the feeding
Of them on stale bread, grits and raw meat
lie appears to overlook the fact that the liter
| airy contest would lead to similar train
ing " of the contestants, and that where boat
men would be required to abstain from food
to reduce their weight, " book-men" would
be crammed =" for the mental trial of skill
There is enough of superficial training for OK
hibition purposes in all schools and colleges
without having premiums offered to the differ
ent colleges to compete in the matter OF fore
ing their students. The man who is laying
the best foundations for a matured intellect is
not always or often the man who, willie
student, can be displayed to advantage, and
serious injury IS sometimes done to the best
schools by comparing the superficial accom-
plishments of their pupils with the rank
growth of some hot-house of learning, the
plants of which will soon wilt when they come
to be exposed to the common air. The truest
competitive examination between the gradu-
ates Of ditferont colleges is furnished by the
result accomplished in their after lives. II
good work has been done in the college it will
show good results not alone on the cxhi-
bition platform of public hall on commence
ment day, but in the great Theatre of the
world.

Livingston county, n. y, boasts Of sus-
picious ease of catalepsy. Miss Bonny,
lady well-known III the community, and
believer in modern spiritualism, had been
predicting for u long time that sooner or later
she was to enter the trance state. One even
ing, about Ave weeks ago, she robed herself
for the night, and told the family that the
event shc Ind been 80 long. predietinG had
arrived. She laid herself upon bed, and III
four hours she breathcd no more, the heart
stopped beating, the pulse ceased throbbing,
and she has lain in that condition UP to the
present time without food or water. She
occupies a sleeping apartment adjoining
sitting-room, in which fire is kept night and
tlay. There arc no signs of decomposition.
Previous to going into this state, she desig-
mated the persons who were to have exclusive
charge of her inanimatc form, and all Others,
even her parents, were to be kept out of the
room. Whether there is collusion with intent
to deceive between Miss Bonny and the per-
sons said to be in charge Of her it is of course
impossible to say.

The word Of God is sure support for men
in trouble. Mans word may be reasonable,
wise, consoling, but it never forms a founda-
ton in tribulations, like that which comes
from heaven. God = word comes with author
ity it falls upon the heart like the rising
sunlight upon the mists of night, dissipating
the doubts, illuminating the pathway, and in
spring the courage needful for the struggle
into victory. 1t is the end Of all controversy.
Whatever else may fail, this word will abide.
Heaven and earth may pass away, but this
word remaineth. No man who puts his trust
in that word, and who shapes his life in filial
obedience to it, need fear the opening fu-
ture either of this life or that to come. Re-
spect unto the commandments exclude fear
and shame. It emboldens the heart and
strengthens the hands for all good deeds, and
gives assurance Of the coming victory and
reward.

a French gardener is said to have expert
mented with q view to ascertaining aow far a
toad could DO used in the capacity Of a carrier
pigeon. Observing one that spent hours daily
IN the neighborllood of a hive on the chance
OF swapping upa few of its inmates, 1t was by
him made the subject Of an experiment. A
pink ribbon was tied round his neck, and he
was carried to q distance of some ninc miles
from the place, and there left. Forty-eight
hours later the toad again sat watching the
bees darting to and from the hive.

Comets, doubtless, answer some wise and
good purpose In the creation SO do women.
Comets are incomprehensible, beautiful and
eccentric SO are women. Comets shine with
peculiar splendor, but at night appear most
brilliant; so do women. Comets confound
the most learned, when they attempt to as
certain their nature SO do women. Comets
equally excite the admiration of the phioso-
pler and of the clod Of the valley; SO do
women. Comets and women, therefore, are
closely analogous but the nature of both being
alike inscrutable, all that remains for us is to
view with admiration the one, aud deyotadly

WINTER RAIN.

The rain, the desolate rain!
Ccaseless and solemn and chill!
How 1t drips the misty pane!
How It drenches the darkened sill
Oh scene Of sorrow and dearth
would that the wind, awaking
To fierce and gusty mirth,
Might vary this dull refrain
OF the rain, the dcxolate rains
For the heart of Heaven seems breaking
In tears Ger the fallen earth:
And again, again, again,
We list tU the sonibre strain,
The long, low monotone
s(Whose soul Is nmystic moan),
OF the rain. the rain, the rain, the rain, 49,
The low, despairing rain.
The rain, the mournful rain.
Weary, passoniess, slow;
'Tis the rhythm Of settled sorrow,
IT'S the sobbing of careless woe
And all the tragic of life,
The pathos of long ago,
Comes back on the sad refrain,
Of the rain, the mournful rain,
The desolate, drenry rain, II
TIL the graves In my heart unclosc,
And the dead who are buried there
From solemn and weird reposc
Awake but with eyeballs drear,
And yeices that met in pain,
On the tide Of the plaintive rain e-s ~
The yearning, hopeless rain.
With its passionless, slow refrainl
OF the dim, funeral rain,
The long, low, whispering rain.
