Mr.. Gladstone's recent visit to Ire
land was the leading event of the year
in that island He went everywhere,
talked everywhere, mingled freely with
oil sorts and conditions of men, and cap
tiyated all with whom he came in con-
tact. Gladstone's style of speaking is
described as eninently simple. He
trifes with q bit of paper while he pours
cut sentence after sentence in clear
cut fashion which leaves nothing unsaid.
Sometimes be is involved, and speaks in
parentheses, and these he makes in a
lower tone of voice. He seldom raise 8
his hand, and never raises it above tie
level of the listeners eye. He has a
peculiar trick of tickling his thin hair
with single finger, and this happens
mostly when he is about to say some
thing not altogether agreeable. His
pei oratior, which was long and not Ia
bored, was spoken with the arms straight
down ana the head thrown up and back.
His voice is strong and resonant, and
perfectly under control. He was very
kind and soothing to the IRISH, and they
cheered him miphtily"

COnkling as a Boxer.

Senator Conkling, when at college, is
said to have had manners SO reseveed
that they provoked his fellow students
to tease and torment him He was then
tall, slender youth, and not strong,
and feeling his inability to protect him
self properly, he quietly procured a
teacher in the art OF self-defense, and
soon became an expert boxer. After
he had held few emphatic interviews
with divers aggressive students, they
concluded it was the better part of val
or to let him alone, aad he finished his
colIege course with 10 more molesta-
ton. It is added that the Senator takes
pleasure in putting on the gloves when
ever he can find anyone to spar with
him.-NclU York Tribune.

BACKWARD AND FORWARD.
BIZ z. NORMAN auNN1sos.

Twelve strikes the clock The year has fed
The year with all its sweetness
Its voice of joy, its tears half shed,
It's longing and completeness;
It's wee for me, its joy for you,
Its hours of pain and gladness;
And now Time fills the glass anew
God grant it holds no sadness.l
Tor i'll the year that Just has fed
Some fond hopes have been bhghted,
And some have Joined the silent dead
Who in its dawn delighted.
Well. fill the cup and drink to-day
With nirtEful speech and laughter,
And cheer the hours which pass away
God knows what cometh after.
Ills well that he has kindly hid
The future from our seeing,
And closed beneeth n shrouding lid
His time from every being.
Life's field has roses for the bee,
It also has its stubble.
And you and I, my friend, might see
future full of trouble.
For what is hid wen not repine,
There is no use in whining,
For somewhere, with light divine,
The sun is always shining.
And never was a night SO dark
But what there came morning;
Take courage, and wait the lark
That loudest sings at dawnipg.
Time, the reaper, Seeks to NOW
Amid Cur fields and closes,
He shall not hear the voice of woe
We'll CHM his scythe with roses.
Wen gather round the cheerful CRATE
And fill anew our glasses;
Ald, should he seek to find our gate,
Well mock him while he pass s.
And though the days may bear us on
While Old and New Years minsIe
Still other tones when we are gone
Shall raise their happy jingle.
What matters it +? Forever young,
While time speeds on nor falters,
We still shall be. although the tongue
Is silent by our affairs.
Although the ear that caught each tone
No more perchance may hear us,
And friends may journey on alone
Who used to journey near us,
We pass, We go, we are not dead
Life once is life eternal.
And tears of grief or friendship shed
We see in climes supernal.
We drink the present hours to-day,
Unheeding of the morrow,
Although its onward path may lay
Through troubled fields of SORROW
Live while we live; to fear no slave:
No thought for future taking;
Like foam Wen sparkle on life's wave,
And vanish with its breaking.

FAREWELL, NEW BRUNSWICK.


New Brunswick fog-enveIoped shores,
bid ye long farewell;
III bsilder climes, meath fairer skies,
And Brighter suns to dwell.
1 found beneath your gloomy clouds
True friends, as warm and kind.
Found loving hearts, and minds as pure,
AS any left behind.
But now turn to sweeter scenes,
My spirit back doth roam,
To the pleasant plains and howery dales
Whore beams the light Of home;
Where lIfinois' broad prairie,
Wrapt in natures beauty, heS.
And fair Chicago's FURNISHED spires,
Imposing, grandly rise;
Where loving parents watch for me;
Where sisters, brothers, yearn;
And cftildtooa's friends, impatient, wait,
To welcome 10y return.
I may not brave your bitter blasts,
Or tread your frozen shore:
May not enjoy your cheerful hearths,
And view your rocks no more
The banquetfs Joyous throng may meet,
The gallant and the far:
And fire side friends may gather round,
But shall not be there.
Loved voices, on the southern gale,
In well-known whispers come;
Mildly reprOve my long delay,
And call me gently home.
Chill spot, for friends 1 leave behind.
My blessing with you dwell,
/ cheerful go to warmer climss-
Cold Brunswick's Hilds, farewell.

A Bill of Fare.

Here is one bill of fare, as given by
traveller in the North, which may seem
incredible, and yet I can vouch for it as
not being whit exaggerated: Seven
man in thirteen days consumed two buf
falo bulls, seven cabri deer, fifty pounds
of pemmican equal to about half d buf-
falo), and a great many ducks and geese,
and on the last day there was nothing to
eat This enormous quantity of meat
could not have weighed less than l. 800
pounds at the very lowest estimate,
which would have given daily ration
to each man OF eighteen pounds. In
credible IS this may seem, it is by no
means impossible in a severe climate,
and living the active life that these men
lead. / remember camping with three
half breed plain-hunters, one evening,
beside a buffalo calf we had killed
shortly before dusk. The men began
cutting the animal up and isting upon
1t. Trey were eating when [ retired
for the night, and they were still hover
ing over the fire when l arose early In
the morning. With the exception Of the
head, which was slowly roasting upon
the Goals, there was nothing lett OF the
calf except the bones Manitoba Cur.

Columbus Not a Saint.

The following Official decision, recent
ly promulgated, dispels all Immediate
hope of canonizing Christopher Colum-
bus, and throws as much doubt over his
spiritual position IS the recent alleged
discovery at Santo Domingo does over
his mortal remains 1.-THE beatifca-
ton cannot be conceded, because no
extraordinary deed is demonstrated
evincing heroic Christian virtue. Apart
from his great work, the discovery CT
America, his public and private life was
much criticised. In the chronicles of
the time nothing is found woI lhy of
canonization. The fame that he left at
his death is not that of an eminent and
notable Catholic. In fine, he has never
been considered or invoked as saint.
This decision to be communicated TO
those whom it may concern, and the
question cannot be revived for three
