A Word In Time.

A controversy is springing up in regard to
the President, discussion as to whether or
not he has experienced change of heart in
regard to the course to be pursued toward
the South. The controversy is profitless and
should not be prosecuted. No good can
come out of it and some harm may. 1t will
only revive angry disputes that should be
forgotten, or if impossible to forget should be
ignored.
II is enough that the Republicans are once
more united and make their fight in favor of
, sound currency for the country and equal
and exact justice for all its citizens. The
time has not yet come to calmly discuss old
alterations, for the discussion is sure to pro-
yoke the wrath of some of us. Let us be
content with the knowledge that they have
ceased to exist, and so go forward to the i'm
perative duty imposed upon us Of advancing
the triumph of Republican principles and
saving the country from the rule OF those
who, we all sincerely believe, are incapable OF
justly and ably governing it.
There is scarcely doubt that the Republi-
Dental election. The best sentiment of the
country is inclining toward 1t. Men are
looking to it for present relief and future
security. If it but prove worthy of its great
opportunity it will be entrusted with the
administration of public affairs. But divided
in sentiment and weakened by quarrels it
can have no hope of overcoming its powerful
and unscrupulous enemy.
Would it not be wise then to stop this
wrange over the President, this discussion
as to whether he is or isn't sorry for what he
has or hasn't done? Doubtless he can re-
peat the liturgical phrase with as much sin
cerity as most of us. But let US not try to
repeat it for him. Few of us can use it too
often for ourselves. Things are drifting in
the right direction. If we could we do not
want to stay the tide with our besoms of
WRATH The Partngtonian role is ridicu-
lous one at the best. Even the kingly Canute
ceased to be majestic when he strove to lord
it over the sea.

Y0rick's Drawer

There be two Yoricks of honorable re.
pute, Shakespeare's fellow of infinite jest and
Sterne's careless parson. People DO not read
"Tristram Shandy" much now and the only
Yorick they readily recognize is he whose
brain-box Hamlet sadly moralized upon.
And people are right; for "Trstrau Shandy"
is dreary reading One would not like to
miss the acquaintance of Uncle Toby and
Corporal Trim, Or the story of lie Fevre, and
in this column certainly the parson is held in
honor; but the making of the acquaintance
is like the road to heaven, through much
tribuation. A praiseworthy attempt was
made by London publisher some time since
to familiarize us with 'that finest compi-
ment ever paid to human nature" las Haz-
lit describes him), Uncle Toby. 'rrstram
SHABBY" was skinned and the cream of it
put into little volume that has never re-
ceived the attention it deserved. Indeed the
book reprinted in this country by New
York house) is found oitener in secondhand
book stores than elsewhere.
Why is it that strange words have so
great charm for most of US? That snatch
from French song we do not fully under
stand will linger longer in our memories than
more familiar English words? That "'twixt
the cleaning and the mirk'' sounds so much
finer than "between the twilight and the
night? Few of us who will not confess to
this weakness. Even great popular orator
like Dennis Kearney whom we would natu-
rally expect to confue himself to homely
language, delights in using words OF which
! he does not know the meaning; and the
people, who also do not understand, vehe-
menty applaud.

One now and then thinks the picture is fine,
One now and then says it is strong,
One says it is glorious, great, subIimeI
There is one who says it's all wrong.
The sky is too black (where no black was used),
The sea by far is too rough,
The set Of the sails can ne'er be excused,
That stay sail is too long on the luf.
And So on etc, the whole day long.
The picture is condemned or praised,
But tell us how many among the throng,
On ship in tempest have gazed?
And these are the people who forever will bore
And crticise sharp as a knife.
Their ideas would be worth rather more
If they would study little from life,
Spend but halt of the time they waste picking flaws
In gazing on nature so grand,
For criticisms then they would find less cause,
And more sense there would be in Iaud.
