Mr.. 7. M. Higginson believes in i'm.
agination, and that women excel in that
high province OF mind. he says: II
rejoice that in women at least here, as
in Germany, the imaginative faculty
still retains its hold. | remember that
when Mr.. Emerson was lecturing in Bos-
ton, many years ago, an eminent lawyer
declined going to hear him on the ground
that Mr.. Emerson was so hard to com
prehend; but, he added, my daughters
understand him aud they 60. The re-
mark was generally quoted by the law

Mr.. Emerson's admirers as good praise.
Let any one notice in our high schools
where boys and girls recite together,
which sex cares the most about litera-
tuTe; and he will find that if literature
is OF any value, the preference affords
grounds on which the intellect
of women may be defended. Cot

THE Law AND THE LADY.

A Lively Quarrel Between WIIkte
Collins and Ih- LOudOn Graphic
Touching the Alleged Indecency
OF Hts New Novel.
Londen Letter to New York Worldl
There is a very pretty quarrel going
on between Mr. Wilkie Collins and the
Graphic apropos of his story, The Law
and the Lady" just published in that
weekly, When the story was finished
the Graphic published little note say
ing in effect that they we're sorry aud
ashamed to have printed production
so immoral and otherwise unworthy, but
having bound themselves by contract to
print it they could not help themselves.
In rtply tc this Mr.. Collins published a
letter in which he shows himself to be
as great master of denunciation as is
Mr. Charles Reade himself. He says:
AT the express request of the pro-
prietors OF the Graphic, consented to
permit them to publish new work
Of mine. called the "Law aud the
Lady" periodically, in their news
paper. The negotiations were conducted
by their literary editor. Speaking as the
mouthpiece Of his proprietors, this gem
tleman's main anxiety in respect to my
forthcoming work appeared to be that it
should give no offense to the family
circle" On the editors departure, CON
sidering what had passed between us,
and not forgetting Swift's immortal
aphorism, which declares that a nice
man is man of nasty ideas, | thought
it wise to insert a clause in my agree
ment forbidding the alteration of any
portion Of my story by any person en-
ployed in the domestic inquistion at the
Graphic Office, without first obtaining
my consent and appreciation. The
agreement, thus guarded was signed on
beth sides, and the Law and the Lady
made Its appearance periodically in the
columns OF the Graphic newspaper. To-
wards the latter portion of the story
had occasion to describe an attempt
made by one of the male personages to
kiss one of the female personages-an
incident, permit me to add, which, being
of frequent occurrence in the family
circle" was therefore an especially 6t
incident for the columns of the Graphic.
The little scene was described (autobio.
graphically by the heroine of the story
in these words:
He caught my hand in his and de-
voured it with kisses. His lips burnt me
like FIRE. He twisted himself suddenly
in the chair and wound his arm around
my waist, In the terror and indignation

THE SETTING SUN.

or the Public Ledger.l
Long have poetic spirits sung,
The grandeur of the setting sun;
And now, Oh, muse, my pen inspire,
While Sol displays his lucid fire.
His sinking beams of brilliant hue,
With sparkling lustre rise in view;
One fervent blaze of glow ng light
Now flashes forth. resplendent bright.
Reflected FROM the Gorgeous scene,
And shining on the forest green,
Ono living CLEAN, one dazzling ray,
Then fades away the God of day
RapturOus beauties charm the eye,
And feecy clouds float through the sky;
A host of lovely scenes appear.
AS day declines and night draws near.
And now faint glim ring rays of light,
Fall softly ers they take their flight;
Reflected from the setting sun,
Just as his daily race is run.
Slowly the august king Of day..
Retires beyond the hills away,
He bids the blushing clouds adieu,
Then sinks to rest. beyond our view.
So fade the fair, the pure Of earth,
And none appreciate their worth,
Till like the brightly setting sun,
Their mission here is almost done.
Then round their couch we hover near
To shed the penitential tear,
To catch the last bright flick ring rays.
That fash out in their dying gaze.

COurtship.

There are certain young ladies in the
world, writes philosopher, who hold
peculiar notions as to the attentions
they receive from gentlemen. They
seem to think that If man is polite
and agreeable to them, if he appears to
take pleasure in their society aud calls
frequently, that be is bound to propose
marriage. We live iu fast age, and II
would almost seem that courtship must
be conducted on the same railroad speed
as other things. Marriage is a serious
matter, requiring long and earnest con-
sideratlon. Two young pesple may be
everything that could be wished for;
they may be aniable, afectionste in
disposition, and yet, because their tastes
do not assimilate, they will live a very
unhappy life together. How are these
young folks to find out each other
temper and disposition if it is not by
time spent in each others company
before marriage? There can be no
doubt that the numerous unhappy mar
rages which are made in the present
day, arise entirely from the fact that the
courtship is too short. Marriage is not
regarded with sufficient reverence; it is
often hurriedly entered into and speedily
repented. Truth compels us to state
that this is caused in great measure
by young ladies' AS we have just stated,
they appear to think that if man IS DO
lite and agreeable to them, he is in love,
and Is bound at once to declare his in
tentions They forget that in seeking
tor wife man ought to look for some
thing more than bright eyes, brilliant
complexion and white teeth. These are
all very well in their way, but beauty is
evanescent, and the day will come when
other qualities will be necessary to bind

The subject OF sewer gases and their in
furious effects on the health OF cities is
receiving much attention, not only from
scientists, but from the people personally
interested In excluding the insidious poison
from their houses. Professor Benjamin Sill
liman, Of Yale College, contributes an inter
esting letter to a New York paper on this
subject, but deals mainly, not with the neu-
fraliZstiOn Of nOxious gases in houses, bat
with the publication Of the foul air o! sewers

that the foul air be rul from sewers by a
shaft heated by furnace. This plan the
Professor believes a good one, ard in answer
to the question SO important 10 publlc

destroyed, says that the answer is very
simple: Let the fire of the furnace draw its

yerted into harmless elements. Such shafts.
