THE oRR's ISLAND CRITIC.

Middleton, in falling naturally upon the
topic of Mrs Stoves book, obtained val
liable insight into insular methods of criti-
cism for the work of fiction. 1t did not
appear that she had paid the population so
acceptable compliment as might be i'm
agined. They were rather disposed to re-
sent willful misrepresentation of them.
He gathered that they believed that the
novel should coniine itself strictly to line
of events which had actually happened.
g Yis, " said one interl0cutor, severely,
"there's a good deal OF novil about that
There never was no such folks, and no
such talkin' folks. There amt no caves
and no smugglers. My brother laws

years, and lac never scr 'em. They couldn't

there amt water to float 'em. There want

OF the Kennebec but she had TO 90 m
plaster it onto US, and there amt no sense
in it. The cap'n's wife, she didn't die O.
fright either cause | seen her not over
year'n' half ago."
The young lady who made the inspired
rag mats, in the same way had read the
book, because she lived in the place but
she must say And although she did not
say, it was plain to be seen that if she had
said, the judgment would not have been
more favorable. a bluff old gentleman, on
the other hand, really venerable and
picturesque figure, who was said by popular
report to be the Cap'n Pennell of the mar
rative, though lamenting that people should
come from the West. and even from "Can-
edy," and give themselves unnecessary
trouble in hunting for caverns that never
existed, and cut the bark off his fruit trees
for mementos, delivered an opinion in re-
buttal that had the roundness and com
pleteness of an apothegm.

lawyer of that State was addressing an
audience composed principally of farmers,
in Gratiot county. In order to win the
confidence of his hearers, he said: My
friends, my sympathies have always been
with the tillers of the soil, My father
was practical farmer, and so was my
grandfather before him. i was myself
reared on farm, and was, so to speak,
born between two stalks of corn" Here
the speaker was rudely interrupted by
some one in the audience, who exclaimed,

Two figures sat in the purple twilight,
And the cool salt breeze blew over the land
Out on the deep, white sail elimmered,
One fash more in the waning light;
Silent we sat till the darkness gathered
Over the drifting sand-heaps white.

And it all comes hack like tender Dream
As hear at my feet the wee waves tapping,
And over my head the sea gulls scream.

Among interesting letters on Alaska
written by John Muir, and published
in the San Francisco Bulletin, is one
on the timber resources of the coun-
try. 1t gives information of interest
which is not met with elsewhere. The
writer begins with the theory that
Alaska is very young country, and
finds that its forests are mostly set on
solid rock, which has but recently
emerged from beneath the ice sheet.
Probably it is a young country if we
reckon only from the close of the last
glacial period. But it contains plenty
of fossil ivory and other organic re-
mains of a pre-glacial age, and there
fore cannot be absolutely Il young
country. Be this, however, as it may,
it is undoubted that it is only in times
comparatively recent that the coun-
try has emerged from a glacial condi-
ton, and that, as Muir says, the ex-
istence on so bare surface is possible
only in wet and temperate climate,
such as Alaska now possesses. No
doubt also, if Alaska were given the
climate of California, her now ever
green islands and shores would be
treeless, sun-beaten rocks. The bulk

species of evergreens. The most i'm
portant of these as to timber, is the
yellow cedar. The wood is described
as pale yellow, close-grained, tough,
durable and susceptible of good polish;
and to these qualities is added a pleas
ant fragrance like that of sandalwood.
The tree reaches a height of $50 feet,
and diameter of from to 3 feet.
The white spruce ranks next, and is
| far more abundant than the first,
while the third of the group is beau
tiful hemlock spruce, also very abun-
dant in particular localities. The
common fir abounds, but it is a small
tree, seldom exceeding a height of 60
or 20 feet The writer says that with
the important exception of the yellow
cedar, timber trees for every use, as
good or better in quality abound in
California, Oregon, Washington Ter
ritory and British Columbia, while
those sources of supply are also nearer
the markets of the world. And it
| will only be after those are exhausted
on the more accessible portions of the
coast that these grand Alaska forests
will to any considerable extent be
made available. Seward expected
Alaska to become the shipyard of the
world. So it may Il century hence.
In the meantime this supply will keep.
These Alaska forests are not threat
ened with fire, orany otherdestruction
dependent on the agency of man.
They are too wet to burn. The roots
are set in deep sponge of wet mosses,
kept saturated by the abundant rains
that fall throughout all seasons, so
that running fires are impossible.

why People are Poor.

1t is stated on very excellent author
ity that "the poor have We with you
always" The remark was very true
when uttered, and has been true ever
since, and from appearances always
will be. There are those who have no
disposition to save; who olive from
hand to mouth" so to speak; who
take no thought for tomorrow. Hav-
ing enough for the present hour they
are content, and they leave the future
to take care of itself. Ifproperty were
to be equally divided among the peO-
pie Monday morning, before Saturday
night the majority would he in desti-
titute circumstances-'d dead broke"
while the prudent and saving would
be on the road to pecuniary independ-
ence. One class Of people spend what
ever money they can get hold of, and
As fast as they can get it, while others
save means that come into their
hands, judiciOusly invest the same,
and become rich. There are those
who do not only know how to save,
but they do not know how to spend.
If they get anything it goes for what
they do not need, for articles that
could be dispensed with. Those who
are destitute of the comforts Of life, as
n rule, may blame themselves there.
for. If they have anything they do
not take care of it. They buy articles
that people in better circumstances
would think they could not afford.
SO they are always poor. Relieve
their wants to-day and they are no
better offto-morrow. They are bound
not to save-to have nothing, and are
generally bound to be In debt II they
can find anybody to trust them. or
course, we understand that people are
sometimes unfortunate. They get
sick, or those dependent on them be-
come so. We know that people are
sometimes overtaken by misfortune;
