That suggest to poets thoughts SO fair;
While the sun dances a jig upon his left ear.
4 .l-a j, Ia d.


And stars go skating through the air.
Said we "Mr. Smith, you've en-.
tirely overdone yourself in counting the
muses.. Your poetry has the jingle, but
remember all is not gold that glitters.
A complete analysis Of your poem will
teach that you need more harmony. You
have used some redundancy in your first
line. Could you not have thrown out
overhang' or 'above?' One, in this
case, is sufficient to express the sub
Unity of the heavens. The tenor of
your poem was ruined by bringing in
the ridiculous with the sublime. In the
first part of your poem you speak of
the beatitudes of nature, and then the
effect is ruined by speaking of 'Jonesy
and his love-, and you further say that
the sun danced a jig on his left ear,
which is neither sensible nor beautiful,
as the sun does not possess such organs
about its person.
This criticism cooled him; his eyes
glimmered, his knees knocked together,
and with a tremulous voice he said /:
"Mr. Editor. I CUB it up. I stole 'em.
anyhow, and thought 'em good and I'll
own that I tried to be a plagiarist.
Tom Murdoch, in conjunction with
Luke Bliffer, wrote those poems.
With self-possessed air he expector-
ated mouthful Of tobacco-juice in the
face of our devil, and serenely walked
out.
We remained editors of the ADVOCATE
short while, and in that space of time
SO many authors tried to intimidate our
young mind by making us believe they
were the authors OF Beautiful Snow, )"
"Lines to a Skull" "Locksley Hall "
and others, that we concluded we would
go back to our fathers farm and live
little while longer, by stimulating our
physical organism by welding the pillow
and holding the hoe and rake. So ends
our story of editor for a Short Time
Only"

A REsTLEssNEss in mems minds to be
something they are not, and to have
something they have not, is the root of
immortality.
A FRENCH statist has come to the con.
clusion, after very laborious examina-
ton of the number of deaths from rail
way accidents in all parts of the world,
that if a person were to live continually
in railway carriage and spend all his
time in travelling, the chances in favor
of his dying from railway accident
would not occur until he was $50 years
old.
EVERY failure is q step to success ev-
cry detection of what is false directs

some tempting form of error. Not only
SO, but scarcely any attempt is entirely
a failure; scarcely any theory, the re-
suit of steady thought, is altogether
false; no tempting form is without
some latent charm derived from truth.

CHOOSING FRIENDS.

The real bond of friendship is SYM
pathy, congeniality of taste, kinship
Of mind or heart. What should it sig
nifty to A that he has made a few hun
dred thousand dollars, more or less,
while B, whom he thoroughly likes,
hasn't saved as many hundreds? That is
the usual form Of the inquiry. On the
other hand, why should B alter his esti-
mate Of A because of the circumstances?
Why should he feel envious or i'll at
ease in his home, or think one must Sc
lect his friends by the sum of their in
come? What is it that we love in our
friends, themselves or their appendages?
What is it that we should respect in our
selves, our personality or our bank ac-
count? Neither riches nor the lack of
them are to be thought Of in connection
with real companionship. And accord
ing to our observation good part of
the unpleasantness in social distinctions
based on wealth arises more from the
lack of real self-respect in the men or
women without money than from pride
in the possessors of it. There are men
rated poor to whom it would never oc-
cur that they were out Of place in any
assembly Of refined and intelligent
people, however great the aggregate of
wealth represented. Perhaps they were
born without the instinct of accumulation;
perhaps they are lacking in the enviable
ability to take care of themselves
and their pockets at the same time,
and have chosen to build up themselves
rather than a fortune; perhaps, like
Agassiz, they have found ono time to
make money!" or, like the majority of
the race, no opportunity. No matter
their moods are sweet and amiable;
their wit is keen and their humor excel
lent their minds are bright, their
hearts warm and their manners fine.
And, as society is not a place for COM
pairing inventories Of property, they feel
and appear quite at home. We have
known men and women who would have
been bankrupted if they had sold, even
for 81 100000, that sunshine Of their
soul-the sincere, infectious and radiant
smile that distinguished them; and
others, the sweet and rare fruits of
whose spirit made their friends forget
whether they were rich OF poor,
Robert Burns, the poet of the people,
truly sang that,
The rank is but the guinea's stamp,
The mans the gowd for a. that.
And it certainly is not conceit for the
gold to refuse to rate itself as lead, sim
ply because it lacks the stamp. What
American society needs, and what we
think it is gradually attaining, is a
standard that rates men for what they
are, and not for what they have; recog-
milton of the right Of men to select their
companionship as they please and can
and an independence Of spirit that
makes a poor man alike superior to
patronape and above envy.

twenty-five years ago the iron gaze OF
Auburn prison closed with clang upon
William Comstock. Maddened by
whisky, he had slain his father and
mother, in Brookfeld, N. Y. Inasmuch
as the double murder was committed
while the man was wild with delirium
hemens, he was permitted to plead
guilty to manslaughter in the first de-
gree, which he did, and was sentenced
by Judge Hiram Gray to imprisonment
for the term Of his natural life. Com
stock was 81 years Of age. During all
these twenty-five years he has not been
outside the prison walls, and now, at the
age Of SO, is as ignorant Of the ways of
the world as the mewling infant in its
mothers arms. When he entered the
institution he had no occupation, and up
to twelve years ago he was employed in
what is known as the State shop at all
kinds of work. Since then he has been
in the tailor shop. Comstock is in many
respects a remarkable man. When sent
to prison he was physical wreck from
the effects Of drink. Now he is appar-
entity a perfect specimen of manhood.
Tall, erect, with robust form, disease
seems a stranger to his frame. Com
stock is one Of the most orderly and
well-behaved convicts in the institution.
He has not so much as been reprimand-
ed for misdemeanor. He is industri-
GUS, and has not been absent day from
his labor. While he shows no particu-
lar strength Of mind, he indicates no
mental weakness. He holds aloof from
the other prisoners. and, as conse-
quence, is respected bv them.
The number Of burglaries in London
has increased 26 per cent. since 1869,
while it has decreased 80 per cent. In
the rest of England. 1t is asserted that
since the death of Sir r. Mayne the
London police force has been steadily
deteriorating.

est number of farm animals in the
regions best adapted for grass culture,
or for grass and grain culture combin-
ed. 1t is not probable the more South
ern States will, generally, engage
largely in stock raising.
For several reasons, States remote
from the seaboard, and from the great
centers ofpopulation will, other things
equal; find it more advantageous to
give large attention to stock raising
than will those the farmers in which
have less distance to transport their
surplus products. So long as large
areas Of public lands can be grazed in
the more Western States and Territor-
les, much attention will be given to
raising or feeding animals. But as
these areas are taken up and made use
of in a more systematic style of farm.
ing, experience shows there is tenn
porary change from stock feeding to
grain production. This is largely be-
cause Of the limited money resources
Of the majority Of the settlers in these
Western States. They feel compelled
to use their lands for the production
of those crops which can be cultivated
at least cost, and which most quickly
bring 6 return. Increased attention
is generally given to live stock as
these States grow older.
There is less difference in the com,
par,tiyc profits Of stock raising in
regions widely separated than is often
In this matter, as in most
Others, there are compromising circum.
stances. At first sight it seems anon
alous that farmer in New England
should be able to purchase cattle rear
ed in the Western States fatteN these
animals on corn also grown in the
West, and find a fair profit in so doing:
or that a farmer in old England should
be able to purchase American grown
grain and feed it with profit. Yet

PROPOSED LICENSE LAW.

In the New Orleans Demo-
crat of the Dist inst, we find
. the full text Of the Revenue
Bill, introduced in the House
by Hon. w. w. Farmer, Chair
man of the Mays and Means
Committee. We admit the COM
mittee has had a severe task I'M
der existing circumstances, in
framing license law, but after
a study al d deliberation of two
months we think, in our humble
opinion, the Committee should
have produced a law far more
satisfactory to the people. The
Constitution provides for the
graduation of licenses. Weseeno
graduation in Judge Farmers
bill. The retail merchants Ii
cense is all the same, whether
he does a business of one thou
sand, or one hundred thousand
dollars a year. Should it not
be graded, as it sin other States.
to first, second and third class 2
We think so. And there is the
retail liquor license. It is equal
~ unjust, and, although we may
be of the same opinion as some
of our Sunday Law legislators,
that liquor is the bane ofall our
vices, and most of our criminal
expenses, yet, in justice even to
liquor dealers, we cannot believe
that a little country grocer,
whose yearly receipts do not
exceed the daily revenue of a
first class N. O. bar. should be
required topay the same license.
We could go on and take Sec
ton after Sc ction and prove it's
pregnancy with flaws, but like
ly we must bow to the will of
the Committee which has spent
so much brains and time upon
this important question. Our
people had been led to look for
much relief from the present
General Assembly, but with
such a paper as the license law
before them, they can but feel
disappointed. Perhaps the wise
Swans on the Committee off
Ways and Means, came to the
conclusion that the six mills tax
would prove Inadequate to pay
the expenses of government.
This, too, was our thought but
surely an equitable and consti-
tutional levy would have sub
served this end, at the same
time giving more general salts
faction.
Section 16 allows the collector |,
one per cent. for collecting the !
licenses. This Immense" per !
centage will have a tendency to
decrease the numbers of candi-
dates for sheriff, no doubt.
