THE PRACTICAL USES OF
POETRY.


fellow is compelled to work. 1t
gives supreme satisfaction to see
an habitual shirk effectual!y cor
nered. The most economical and
conscientious will now and then
rejoice at the destruction or injury
of the most beautiful fabrics, if
they have seemed to give ANY fac
tltious Importance TO the body
they covered. The neat kids, the
shiny boots, the fine broadcloth,
never give their wearer so keen a
pleasure as they afford to his home
spun and hard-worked neighbor
when any contingency compelling
him to put forth his strength in
some menial occupation, splits the
kids, muddies the boot, and rum
Piles the broadcloth.
l suppose it is on this principle
that all those good, sensible, prac-
tical people who consider poetry
the natural loafer of literature,
seize every opportunity to put it
to some homcly use, and seem to
delight in seeing it harnessed
down to a plain, healthy moral, or
made to express geographical or
meteorological fact. The despiser
of Tennyson, and'ignorer of Whit
tier, invariably resorts to
"Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November"
when he wishes to verify his dates.
he looks forth from his window,
and discerns the signs of the sky
with muttcred
Evening red and morning gray
Takes the traveller on his way"
He even regulates his household
economy with such questionable
synopsis as
"a stitch in time
Saves nine"
His children are taught their first
lessons Of thrift in the couplets-
"See pin and let it lay,
And you'll have bad luck all the day;
See pin and pick it up,
And all the day you'll have good luck"
AS often as there is a funeral in
his family, he searches the hymn
book for q rhyme to be placed on
the tombstone; and, if the event
calls out a few original stanzas
from some local muse, the copy is
preserved forever in the family
scrap book.
It is but few years since one
Of these geniuses, who periodical,

ley's Geography" into verse, and
set thousands Of classes to singing,

rivers, capes and capitals. he
was followed by one who devel,
oped the same idea in the realm
of philosophy, and whose crown,
ing triumph was the couplet by
which he taught the order Of the
colors Of the rainbow:
"On memory's tablet these shall live,
Whilewe can spell the word R-O-Y-G-B-I-V." R.
But more troublesome to re-
member than dates, facts, and ge-
ographical statistics, yet more NOR,
tifyiug to forget, are the require

pletest victory of those who lash
solid facts to buoyant poetry, that
the whole may float gracefully in
the memory, has been achieved by
a genius who reduces the whole
science to plain rules and puts ev-

"That is foolish who supposes


Those dogs are i'll that have hot noses''-
was one Of the accidental touches
which so often precede a great
discovery The ripper genius grasps
the principle, and gives it a COM
plete application. Thus we read:
"'Tis pity If you have cold,
But worse If the sad fact be told
By every kind Of uncouth sound,
Annoying every one around;
So let the secret be confined
To your own handkerchief and mind"
Here is an essential principle Of
politeness so welded to sweet
verse that even q child cannot mis-
understand q forget it:
"In company your teeth to pick,
Would make refined beholders sick"
The worldwide discussion on
the proper use Of the knife and
fork is all summed up and settled
by this suggestive passage:
"If you should, in a moment rash,
Reverse their use, perhaps you'd cash
A mouth already far too wide,
And shock all who might see beside.
Bread, nuts, and fruit, dear sir, or madam,
Eat in the mode of Eve and Adam"
Verify, poetry is good for some
thing, after all! but, like a wilful
child, one must know how to man
age it.

FICTITIOUS BIDS.

1t is matter of pleasure to observe that
Postmaster General Jewell has commenced
to protect the government against what
are known in Washington as ''straw bids"
We have never been able to understand
why the government has not accomplished
it before. The assumption that if the
lowest bicder turns out to be irresponsible,
that the contract should not be awarded
the next lowest bidder has appeared I'M
reasonable. The practice it seems has
been IN mail contracts, in case of fail
ure of bidder to give the necessary bonds
that special contract should be made with
such parties as the Postmaster General
may select, and at prices often two fold
that for which other parties are willing
and anxious to perform the service. That
such has been the case, even with some
Vermont parties for carrying the mails on
the Western frontier, has been strongly in
timated. This practice has involved losses
to the government of millions of dollars of
which ample testimony has been furnished
to Congress. 1t is well known that fctiti-
GUS bidders have been employed by parties
who have had influence at Washing
ton so that they could secure pri-
vate contract on their own terms.
The plea that the law compels this
course of procedure has been put forth
as the defence of officials for making pri-
vate contracts with favorites. An exam
ination of these contracts has been made
by the new postmaster general, and it is
evident he intends to remedy the evil and
is another evidence of the practical reform
he intends to inaugurate. Mr.. Jewell knows
that IN private life If man sees another
committing robbery he is justified IN
knocking him down, and he means that
government official, who has taken an oath
to protect the government from robbery,
shall not escape responsibility by hunting
up legal bubble by which to avoid the
fullfilment of an equitable contract.

ETARY OF STATE.

Among the state officers to he elected by
the present legislature is that of secretary
of state This is among ne most important
positions connected with the government,
requiring judicious, discreet, pains
taking, efficient Off er. Since 1864. the
labors of the secretary of state have been
vastly increased, by the addition of docu-
nents made necessary by the war and the
natural expansion of the commonwealth in
its progress in various directions. For
merly one individual performed mainly
all the duties, now several clerks are re-
quired beside the earnest labors and general
oversight of the executive head of the
department. Thus it has become posi-
ton Of responsibility that needs man of
peculiar adaptability to fill the office
The office has been graced in former
years by such men as James M. Shafter,
now a leading citizen of California, the
late Hon. Ferrand +. Merrill, and Hon.
Charles w. Willard men of the first rank,
who proved faithful and competent
officers. Some ten years since, on his re-
turn from the service as a surgeon of one
of the Vermont regiments, DR.. George
Nichols, of Mortified, was elected with
great unanimity, and has since held the
office with credit to himself and the honor
of the state. He has, so to speak. recon.
structed the department and SO enlarged
its scope and duties as to make 1t one of
the most efficient sources of information
DR.. Nichols has proved an accomplished
and competent secretary of state, admins
tering its duties with courtesy and intelli-
gence. The grace and method with which
the House has been organized have made
that body cognizant of his ability as pre-
siding officer The state can i'll afford to
dispense with his services, however much
other gentlemen may aspire to the position.
The General Assembly approaching DR..
Nichols superior qualifications will un-
doubleday unanimously reflect him to the
office he has so long filled with great ac-
ceptance to the state and reputation to
himself.

business to have been conducted properly
and without frauds. The colored people
are in the majority, and rightly have the

Louisiana now goes democratic it will be
because many negroes vote with them, if
the election is conducted as fairly as has
