\ SONG OF PEACE.
by JOAQUIN MILLER.

The grass Is green on Bunker Hill,
The waters sweet in Brandywine;
The sword sleeps in the scabbard still
The farmer keeps his flock and vine;
Then, who would mar the scene to-day
With vaunt OF battlefield or fay?
The brave corn lifts in regiments
Ten thousand sabl e5 in the sun;
The lcks replace the battle tents,
The hammered tassclS toss and run
The neighng steed, the bugle'5 blast,
These be but stories of the past.
The earth has healed her wounded b! cas-, ,
The cannon plough the field no more;
/ he heroes rest! On, let them rest
In peace along the peaceful shore
They fought for peace, for peace they TEL:
They sleep IN peace, and ali il well.
The fields forget the battles fought,
The trenches wave in golden grain;
Shall we neglect the lesson taught
And tear the wounds agape again
sweet Mother Nature, nurse the land,
And heal hcl wounds with gentle hand.
lo! peace on ear tn. L.. flock and fold,
Lo! llch abanlincc Il; increase,
And valley. clad IN sheen OF gold,
on ii,e and sing Il song of peace
For ThcscuS IOams the land no more,

Opposition TO Great Inventions,


Tradition says that John Faust, one of
the three inventors of printing, was
charged with multiplying books by the aid
of the devil, and was prosecuted both by
the priess and the people. The strongest
opposition to the press has, however,, been
presented in Turkey. The art of printing
had existed three hundred years before a
printing press was established in Constan-
tlnoplc. From 1926 to 11l0 that press is
sued only twenty-lhrcc Volumes 1t WAS
then stopped, and did not resume its i,sucS
until after an interval of more than forty
years. About l7SO a press WIS establish
ed in Scutari, and between 1880 and 1907
issued forty volumes. Agun its opera
tions were not resumed until 1920, since
which time it bas worked more indu,tri-
ou,ly than heretofore. although fttered
with the paternal oversight of the Turkish
government.
The ribbon-loom is an invention of the
sixteenth century; and on the plea that it
deprived many workmcn of bread. it WAS
prohibited in Holland, in Germany in the
dominions of the Church, and i'll other
countries of Europe. At Hamburg the
council ordered ~ loom to he publicly
burned. The ,tocking-loom shared the
fate of the ribbon-loom. In England the

THE Cost OF IDLENEsS. When all the /
people of the whole country are engaged |
in productive industry, either directly or
indlro city, it must result in general pros
peritv, whether wages or profi,s are high !
or low. If wages are low capitalists are
encouraged. and enterprise and business
are pushed forward. II there is a dispro-
portion between capital and labor, and the
latter does not get enough, the evil soon
regulates itself by more engaging rs man
ayers, and making labor more in demand.
If capitalists and managers make nothing
they cease to hire, wages drop and many
become idle. This is exactly the trouble
now; too many persons are out OF employ
mcnt. There are, in the United States at
least twelve million working or producing
eOple. The causes above mentioned have
