AnecdOte OF PODe.

Most of our readers have doubtless
heard of the sharp rejoinder once made
to Alexander Pope, whereby a pointed
hit was made at his diminutive and i'll
shapen figure, but many may not have
heard the particulars of the OCCASION
They were as follows:
Pope was one evening at Burton s
coffee-house, where himself, and Swift
and Arburthnot, with several other
scholars, were poring over manuscript
copy of the Greek Aristophdnes. At
length they came across a sentence
which they could not comprehend, and
as, in their perplexity, they talked
rather loudly, they attracted the atten-
ton of a young officer, who CHANGED to
be in another part of the room, and who
approached and begged leave to look at
the passage.
ooh, by all MEANS" said Pope, sar-
castically; "Let the young gentleman
look at it. We shall have light d.
rectly."
The young officer took up the manu-
script volume, and after little study
and consideration his countenance
frightened.
"It is but slight omission on the
part of the SCRIBE" he said. ut only
wants a note of Interrogation at this
point to make the whole Ineligible"
Pope saw in an instant that the Of
ficer was right; but the thought of be-
ing outdone in Greek translation by
mere youth, and red-coat at that,
plqued him, and with q sharp, bitter
twang he cried out:
"And pray, young sir, what is note
of interrogationP"
"a note Of interrogation" answered
the officer, surveying the wizenedt
poet from head to foo,
with a contemptuous look, "iS a little
crooked thiu0 that asks QuestionSi"

An English Interior.

Hedgley's study is an agreeable book,
to which shall introduce the reader
not because 1t is Hedgley's, but that II
is typical of the way the rooms of many
artistic and cultivated English people
are getting TO look nowadays Open.
ing the door and pushing aside the p0r-
tiere, we find ourselves in a sage-green
retreat, set off with antique black oak,
and brown-backed, gold-lettered books,
in long, low, bookcases. Advancing
about five PAGES across Persian rug,
we pause on brown bear-skin, In front
Of brass fender. Here Is great black
oak mantle-piece, with shelves or brack-
cts above; and round, convex mirror
in the midst Of them, of which Hedgely
is particularly proud. Up one jamb of
the mantel, across the Intel, and down
the other jamb, runs a quaint inscrip-
ton in Old-fashioned lettering. The
shelves are covered with carved ivory
or sandal-wOod curiosities, japanese
and Indian porcelain, small brOnzes,
and vase holding royal sheaf of pea
cock-feathers. Besides the bookcases,
there is blackjack cupboard, with
twisted legs and polished brass locks
and hinges. Round the sage.green
wall (Which are warmed somewhat by
the delicate tracery of gold that wanders
over the paper) are hung pictures in
fat gold frames; not many of them,
but beautiful for color or form. There
is one broad window, the upper section
of old stained glass, curtained by a soft,
brownish-green fabric ringcd OH bar
of brass. There is bronze chandelier
of severely simple design, light from
which is communicable through a green
pipe to an Argand lamp on the massive
study. table. Lastly, in order to the
contemplation of all these things, you
are invited to sit down on either one of
two comfortable but unpretending
chairs; or to recline on one of the
brOadest-bottomed, most luxurious
lounges in all upholstery Such a room
is pleasant at all times; especially, per-
haps, of spring afternoon, when there
is veiled luminOusness of sunshine
without, and the air is cool enough to
justify a good fire. Everything looks
mellow, refined and home-like; and as
the day declines the freight is re-
flected more and more brightly from
the glistening Dutch tiles, and the brass
knobs of the fender, and the twisted leg
of the neighboring oak cabinet, and even
from the gilt backs of the serred books,
in their brown and maroon bindings.
lmpalpable blue layers of fragrant to-
bacco stretch and wind across the still
air, and in the pauses of conversation
only the rustic of the flame, the ticking
of our watches, and the drawings of
our pipes, are audible.

STRENGTH FOR TO-DAY.

Strength for to-day is all that We need
AS there never will be a tomorrow
For tomorrow will prove but another to-day
With its measure Of Joy and sorrow
Then why forecast the trials Of life
With such sad and grave persistence,
And watch and wait for crowd OF Ills
That as yet has no eXistencel
Strength for to-day-what precious boon
For the earnest souls that labor,
For the willing hands that minister
To the needy friend or neighbor.
Strength for to-day-that the weary hearts
In the battle Of right quail not
And the eyes bedimmed with bitter tears
In their search for light may fail not
Strength for to-day-on the downhill track,
For the travellers near the valley,i
That up, far up on the other side,
Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for to-dsy-thst our precious you'll
May happily shun temptation,
And build from the rise to the set Of sun
On strong and sure foundation.
Strength for to-day In the house and home
To practice forbearance sweetly-
To scatter kind words and loving deeds,
Still trusting in God completely.
Strength for to-day is all that we need,
AS there never will be to-morrowi
For tomorrow will prove but another day,
With its measure Of Joy and sorrow.

Value of q Trade.

Many young man has been ruined
for life because he never learned how
to do anything, "My father once
said an intelligent young friend, who
found it extremely difficult to earn q
scanty livelihood by his pen, "did not
think it worth while for me to learn
any trade or business" lie had been
unexpectedly thrown on his own re-
sources, and, although a man in stature
and years, he was n mere infant in his
capacity to earn q living. They are
too many men of his class floating
around the world-men who have tai
ents, but do not know how to apply
them. Such cases lead us to look upon
the culpability rs very great, of any
parents, who bring up son without
having been practically and thoroughly
instructed in some way of earning an
honest living. Every man should have
some profession or trade; should know
how 10 do something. Then, whether
he steadfastly pursues it or not, he at
least has an occupation to which. in an
emergency he may resort for the sup
port of himself and others who may be
dependent on him. or all men the
practical know nothing 10 most to be
pitied.
