OUR HUMOROUS POETRY.

Lowell says that True hu1nor is never divorced
from moral conviction" Investigation shows
that, while sentiments Of beauty and humor are
incong1uous, morality and huu1or nearly always
coe1ist If the latter is genuine, it utters hu-
man instincts and has blood-warmth. Eolian
sentiment and the quive1ings of worn-out nerves
are rdison DEERE for so much modern1rhyme. that
what is matured by the sir and suashino Of COM
mon days should be as welcome as wholesome
Lives doomed to ceasleas activities and sordid
calculation, cannot always be healthfu1ly fed by
scientific truth and sombre reason. There should
be sunny hours, in which rcn results are roaped,
through the CONSCIOUSNESS OF pure enjoyment
Rhythm is not sufficiently an uudress for broad
humor; the mood must tlow free, hero and there,
as water finds it's course. STILL there is certain
pleasure in the contrast between funny ideas
and poetic array as in rosy chlld strutting in its
mothers gown. Our literaturs OF this kind is
more promising than abundant
Fitz-Greene Halleck and Joseph Rodmau
Drake were our first writer's Of setio comic poetry.
Together they wrote poems satirizing men, man
ners, and New York City iifo s half-century
ago, which, through numerous local allusions to
what is now obsolete, are unenjoyable today.
Dr.. Drake left few poems. These, however,
eyince a delicate, rapier wit Halieck WAS en-
dowed with sentiment and fancy; but the indu-
ence Of Moore aud Byron pervades his writing
and his surface-blosBoms thrust no deep roots
into human nature. His naturally ser,ous mind
made his poetry more buriesque and mocking
than humorous. He has left fsw earnest and
charming poems. but his brilliance dazzled and
led him aatray. He wrote lively, graceful

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

The pulpit to-day is pretty evenly divided
in Its choice of topics of thought between
things tnat relate TO this life ANA those that
relate to the lie to come. The practical,
however, oyerbalnnces the theoretical and the
speculative. For instance, DR.. Holmc will
enforce the apostolic injunction in all things
to be willing to live honesty. Tue majority
OF men are wiling to be honest il all things
that do not affect their own pockets or inter-
csts but when those are touched or likely to
be how often 90 we see the wrig ding and
twisting to escape speaking either the truth or
the falsehood er doing that which is absolutely
just and right or that which is morally, if not
legally wrong Mr.. Sweetser vii show
his people the open door through
which, possibly, some may enter in
and see Jesus, Of whom Mr.. Kennard
will speak, and of whose sacrfcal life Dr.
Hawthorne VIII have something to say. The
sacrifical death Of Christ is theme that
preachers very frequently dwell upon, but the
example of His sacrfica life is little, if at all,
noticed; and yet the life Of Christ Is as i'm
portant Ills death, If not more so. Every
man can understand his relation to every
man, and sinners may understand their rela-
tion 10 Christ as man, and by the presenta-
ton which Mr. H4pwor,h will make to-day
sinners may learn what is their relation to
Him as a Saviour and may understand some
thing Of Gods love TO the world in providing
such Saviour for the race.
That men are, were, created by God ut
all is often questioned and that we are cre-
ated in His image has been frequently denied,
so that the arguments to be used in support
OF this doctrine by MIR. Pullman will doubt
less be pertinent to the materalstc ten
dcncies OF the age DR.. Deems will draw a
picture, family though it may be, Of the glory
of the heavenly inheritance, aud Mr. Kennard
will answer the question which he pro-
pounds: --''Who are the Blessed 2" Mr..
Roosevelt, who is not theologian, will,
nevertheless, talk about theology, and DIR.
Rylance will discuss two topics OF cuyent and
pressing interest to the Protestant Episcopal
Church-namely, "The Real Presence" in the
Eucharist and "Church Congresses" The

MIR. Parton and the Monument 10
Burr.

One of our correspondents recently visited
Princeton, n. j., and, having read in MIR.
Partons ''Life of Aaron Burr" q romantic
story about the manner in which O tombstone
was erected over the grave OF that celebrated
man, made a careful Investigation OF the
facts. Mr.. Parton had alleged that the stone
was placed over the grave at midnight by m
known hands, and intimated that ii was tho
tribute OF a woman. Our correspondent pub
lished the testimony of the old man who put
up the stone at MONDAY, without any pre-
tence OF secrecy, and of Professor Hart and
others, 10 the effect that the monument was
ordered by the relatives of Burr. In refer
ence to these facts Mr.. Parton has addressed
us the following letter -

The Rifle Matches mt CrecdmOOr.

The rife matches mt Creedmoor have come
to q close, and although the weather was
at times rainy and bustery, finer dis
play of skill and resolution was never seen
upon apy ground The scoring of the princi-
pal rhemen, both upon the American and
Irish sides, was unequallod in accuracy, and
the averages made by both teams are not
likely to be equalled soon. The Irish team,
although defeated in the grand match for the
international championship. fairly obtained
the advantage in the long range contests OF
Friday and Saturday.
Yesterday the important match was that be-
tween the muzzle-loading and the breech-
loading rifles. The contestants on the Irish
side were Messrs Rigby, Hamilton, Wilson
and johnson, and on the American side
Messrs. Giidersleeve, Collins, Dakin and
Yale. The result as our account shows, was
unfavorable to the Americans. Mr.. Yale re-
tired before firing all the shots he was entitled
to, and the highest score made by tho others
was less by one than tbe Lowest score of the
Irish. But it is an error TO suppose that this
match was one Of men. -Four Of the
