FISHERS OF MEN.

Down the calm river they leisureiy foated
There, In nook that was shady and cools.ssz.. 3
They brought out their lines, and their hooN wore
all coated
With bait wen adapted the fishes to fool.
Mabel was with them, and Lizzie and Laura
Maidens light hearted and merry and fair;
Each bestowed smiles on her favored adorer,
Destined perchance, to fan into her snare.
Idly they played with their lines in the river:
Little they cared though fish should be caught
Fondly each hoped that the fates would deliver
Into her keeping the lover she sought.
Lightly they talked upon themes with which Cupid
Had lavishly filed both their hearts and their
brains,
And laughingly said that the men were all stupid,
The while they were artfully weaving their chains
The day passed away, and the fishing ended,
Pleased With themselves the fair innocents looked
They gazed on their victims, and each compre-
hended
The fish she had angled SO long for was hooked.
Then back to the town the young men rowed lightly,
Their baskets all empty-that fishing was tame
While on each other the maidens smiled brightly;

The Minister VINO Draws.

He was o worthy pastor,
Who saw with grief and care,
His congregation go to sleep,
Or-which wss worse-elsewhere.
He pondered long and deeply,
That wise and pieus man,
And at last hit on q simple
And most effectual plan.
Next Sunday, of his sermon
The text when he had said,
He slid a-down the pulpit stairs
And stood upon his head.
By onsands docked the people
TN preacher great TO hear,
And the trustees raised his salary
To seven thousand year.

cannot satisfy.
1t seemed high time TO him (virchow) to enter
an energetic protest against the attempts that
are made to proclaim the problems of research
established science.
we ought not, VirchOw urges, to represent
our conjecture as certainty, nor our hypothesis
as doctrine; this is inadmissible
The burden Of my writings in this connection
is as much recognition of the weakness of sci
ence as an assertion of its strength.
III asked whether science has solved, or is
likely in our day to solve, the problem of the
universe, must shake my head in doubt Be-
hlnd and above and around us the real mystery
OF the universe lies unSolved and as far as we
are concerned, is incapable of solution. The
problem OF the connection Of body and soul is
as mSoluble In its modern form as it was in the
pre-Scienttfic ages
There ought to be clear distinction made be-
tween science in the state OF hypothesis and
science In the state Of fact.
And inaSmuch as it is still in its hypothetical
stage, the ban Of exclusion ought to fall upon
the theory of evolution.
After speaking OF the theory of evolution ap-
piled to the primitive condition of matter, as
belonging to the dim twilight OF conjecture, the
certainty of experimental inquiry is here shut
out
Those who hold the doctrine of evolution are
by no means ignorant Of the uncertainty of their
assent.
In reply to your question, they will frankly
admit their inability to point to any satisfactory
experimental proof that life can be developed,
save from dem0nstrable antecedent life
share Virchow's opinion that the theory of
evolution In its complete form involves the as
sumption that, at some period or other OF the
earth's history, there occurred what would be
with him that the proofs OF 1t are sim wanting.
l hold with virchOw that the failures have
been lamentable, that the doctrine is utterly
dtscredited.
