The first book ever produced in
England was printed by William
Caxton, in the Almonry at Westmin-
lister, in the year 1477, and was en-
titled, "The Dictes and Sayings OF
the Philosophers" This pioneer of
English literature is necessarily a
hook WHICH has the greatest interest
for all Englisbmen who to-day enjoy
the blessings which have come down
to them from the printing-press dur
ing the last four centuries. A copy
of the original is extremely rare and
valuable, fetching when sold, many
hundreds of pounds. 1t IS small
folio volume, very beautifully printed
on ash-gray, paper, with red initial
letters, and Is remarkable for its
evenness of color and clearness of
type. There is a fine copy of the
"Dictes in the British Museum.

THE POWER OFMUSIC.

Chubb has not much of an ear for
music, but he spent considerable
sum in having his daughter taught how
to hammer a piano, and he is proud of
her accomplishments. He was talking
with us over the fence the other day.
when series of dreadful sounds came
from his piano through the open parlor
window. Presently Chubb remarked:
"D'you hear that? Just listen to
that, will you? That's what l call
music !"
There were few additional bangs on
the instrument, q flourish or two, and
then more discoDdant humping.
"SpIendid, isn't it," said ChubO
"Mary James bustin' the music right
out of that machine, you observe
Them's the Strauss waltzes I believe.
she's raslin' with now. Just listen"
We remarked that from the energy
displayed, Mary Jane, at least, seemed to
be really in earnest. But whether she
was treating Mr.. Strauss exactly right
was an open question.
81 don't know nothin' about music.
observed Chubb, "but kin tell the real
thing when hear it, and I sit and hear
Mary Jane play waltzes and the MaldenS
Prayer until it makes me cry like
child"
We asserted that if she played those
COMPOSITIONS as she was doing now II
would make anybody cry. A deaf mute
would she'd tears.
"Listen to that now, will you - ez,
claimed Chubb as a wild tumult OF sounu
came from the parlor. "Isn't tna'
splendid if didn't know it was Mary
Jane a-tearin' round among them waItze''
I'd think it was one of the 'fellers VINO
plav at the concerts. Let's go over anu

We entered the house. Mary Jane
was nowhere to be seen, but, to the IL

JHE 8PTRTT-WORLD.

The following is an extract from one
of Bishop Simpsons beautiful sermons:
The very grave itself is passage into
the beautiful and the glorious. We have
laid our friends in the grave, but they
are around us. The little children that
sat upon our knee, into whose eyes we
looked with love, whose little hands
have cIasped our neck, on whose cheek
we have imprinted the kiss-we can al
most feel the throbbing Of their hearts
to-day. They have passed from us-but
where are they? just beyond the line
Of the invisible. And the fathers and
mothers who educated US, that directed
and comforted us-where are they but
just beyond the line of the invisible?
| The associates of our lives, that walked
along life's pathway, those with whom
we took sweet counsel, and who dropped
from our side-Where are they but just
beyond us?--not far away--it may be
very near us, in the heaven of light and
love. Is there anything to alarm us in
the thought of the invisible? No! 1t
seems to me that sometimes, when our
heads are on the pillow, there come whis-
pers as of joy from the spirit land, which
have dropped into our hearts thoughts
of the sublime and beautiful and glO-
rious, as though some angels wing
passed over our brow, and some dear one
sat by our pillow and 0ommuned with
our hearts, to raise our affection towards
the other and better world.
Il 4
The invisible is not dark; it is glorious
Sometimes the veil becomes 80 thin, il
seomssto me that l can almost see thu
bright forms through it, and my bending
ear can almost hear the voices of thosC
who are singing their melodious strain
before the throne Of God. Oh, there i
music all around us, though the ear o
man hear it not; there are glorious form
} all about us, though in the busy scene
of life we recognize them not. The vel
of the future will soon be lifted, and tn
! invisible shall appear. And when yo
and l shall just step beyond tn
+ vel, oh, how gloriousl We shall loo
> back to life and wonder why it was tina
i it did not flame with light even whilew
. were treading the pathway here below
e Oh, that look into eternity! We zee tn
!, the invisible and it gives US joy. OF
a friends are there, our beloved ones al
y there, and they are not far from us.

Friday

BURLINGTON Hdok-Eye: Friday
night smart young man who lives out
on Maple Street found toad hopping
around in the garden, and thought il
would be capital joke to put it in q
table drawer and let it hop suddenly out
and brighten his wife. Before he could
close the drawer he was called into the
adjoining room, and forgot all about the
toad, which during the night hoped
out on the floor, and crawling into a va.
cant boot, passed a pleasant night of it.
The next morning the household was
Mortified by shrieks of masculine dis
tress, and an old woman on the other
side of the street going home from mar
ket, was knocked into the middle of
next week by a flying boot that came
crashing through front window. The
smart man drank pint of whisky to
settle his nerves, and said this custom of
playing practical jokes on people was as
dangerous as it was foolish, and if he
ever caught anybody fooling around his
boots again with toads or anything else,
he would teach him salutary lesson.
