"A young clergyman of the Episco-
pal Church went to a seminary of an
other denomination because at his own
they spent SO much time teaching them
to read the service properly. 1t would
not be amiss if more attention were
given in other seminaries to the study of
prayers. Many men fall into form
which is not as good and is quite as
formal as written ritual. We all know
it, in the pulpit and in the prayer-meet-
ing. Not all spontaneous prayer is edi-
flying to the hearers, however it may be
accepted above. 1t ought to be posi-
BILE to have both sincerity and variety in
prayer. Christian Union.

TEE DEAD POET.

The poets little span Is done.
The poets work ON earth goes on.
The nand that strikes the ringing chords,
the thought that clothes itself in words,
That chimes with every varying mood,
Tia: gives friend to solitude; ,fH
In flash or fire, I'm smiles or tears,
Wakes echoes for all coming years.
The poets hand and heart are dust.
Tie poets grave lies green and hushed.
His music lives, and soars, and sweils,
And shapes the natures where IL dwells.
Blends with their grief, rcfines their mirth,
Gives of its own pure grace to earth,
Shrines dreams and ianoies. and for love
Finds words to speak and strengthifto

An AgnoStic.

'What does the word 'agnostic mean?,
asks one of our readers, who has been too
much absorbed in other affairs to follow close
ly the course of philosophic thought and dis
cussion. We presume he is not alone in his
ignorance; for the word has often been used
and rarely defined, and it is of later birth than
the dictionaries and encyclopedias in common
use. The word is made up of the Greek letter
a, (alpha privative) and the Greek word g,,os-
tikos Thus the substantive "agnostic" means
literally, aknow-nothing. 1t is used, however
tn define the position of those philoospi.e-s
who claim that the human mind can know
nothing but phenomena; that is, such mani
festations of matter and of mind as NAV be
studied by observation and experiment They
hold an entirely passive position as to the
evistenoe of God, neither denying nor affirm
ing that He exists. but declaring that, as we
can never know anything about Him through
the evidence of the senses. it is useless to waste
time in vain speculations having no other basis
than faith. They call the Christian religion
delusion, human in its origin, like Mohamme-
danism and Buddhism. They profess to be
seekers after the truth alone, and to search
with absolute honesty of thought, discardiDg
bias and dismissing fear.-N. Y. Times.

HARTFORD Post: A correspondent of
the Springfield Republican draws a gloomy
picture of the Republican outlook in Maine.
The correspondent" is either Democrat or
not well posted. A Hartford gentleman
who has just returned from that State saws
the Republicans are very happy over the sit
uation. He has a large acquaintance
through Maine, and recently talked with
some of the leaders of both parties. The
prominent Democrats are not at all sanguine
but are making great stir, and propose to
keep up bold front. Letters received at
Portland from all parts of the State, how
ever, indicate that there is little hope among
their followers and the calls for money are
simply overwhelming. On the other hand.
information received from Republicans in
many townships shows zeal and determin-
alton to win that has not been witnessed for
years. Senator Blaine is devoting nearly all
OF his time to the work and expresses the
utmost confidence as to the result. Even
the most casual reading of the Maine Re-
publican and Democratic papers furnish
sufficient refutation of the statement that
the Republican outlook in that State is
gloomy"

Frank Buckland Sick Among His
Monkeys.

Frank Buckland, the friend of fishermen
and monkevs, is, L am sorry to say, in failing
health. Owing to the dropsical nature of his
complaint, he finds walking difficult-as if, to
use his own expression, his legs were in Well
ington boots full of water. Notwithstanding
those physical troubles, life is full of interest
to the naturalist. Mr.. Buckland at home is sur.
rounded by all bis pets, from dried gorillas to
living creatures of every sort. He sits in John
Hudter's chair, regardless of uncomfortable
angles, and considers it more delightful than
the downiest of couches without historical in
terest; and the angles, too, are so convenient
for the monkeys. They can sit aloft and watch
the progress of the fishery commissioners re-
ports, and bounce down among proof-sheets at
Will. Mr.. Jamrach, retired organ-monkey.
is great favorite with his master and shares
with him the frugal meal to which his doctors
limit him. There is not much ceremony OBJ
served on these occasions, for everything is
turned about, even to the claret and water. The
expression of the monkey face, as it sits watch
ing an opportunity for a raid, 1 have only seen
equaled in children brought to our London
hospitals from poverty-stricken homes. The

ACCORDING to the Cincinnati Gazette,
Gen. Hancock in 1868 wrote to the Hon.
S. I. Glover of st. Louis, endorsing the
platform and candidates of the Democratic
party Of that year, which platform declared
all the constitutional amendments, the en-
reimbursement of the negroes, and the recon-
struction acts null and void. The letter also
indorsed Frank Blair's letter to Broadhead
advocating sending the army south to undo
the work of reconstruction. This shows
that if elected Hancock will be a subservi-
ent tool of the Southern Democrats in their
work OF ''wiping out all the war legisla-
tion''

The Guns of gettysburg.

With that fine sense of proprietv so char
acterstic OF the leaders of the Democratic
party the nomination of General Samuel ].
Anderson yesterday was celebrated with the
discharge Of cannon. Gen. Anderson. as
his title indicates, is man of war. and
his nomination is. if we may be allowed to
quote from the new Thieves Dictionary, "a
Union victory
Gen. Anderson's military services and de-
votion to the cause of the Union had al
ready been recognized in his appointment
as officer of the Hancock Veteran League.
But his nomination yesterday has a wider
significance. His loyalty is now vouched for
by Democratic convention, convention
made up of patriots of the stamp of Henry
K. Bradbury of Hollis and Ephraim c.
Spinney, of Kittery. Dare any man ques-
ton it. when battle-scarred veterans Ike
those are its upholders? We certainly are
not so presumptuous. He is a rash man
who ventures to dispute certificate of pat
riotism to which those names are attached.
Gen. Anderson, as appears by his speech
OF acceptance, is deeply sensible of the
honor conferred upon him and will make
mighty efforts to prove himself deserving of
it. We gather from that speech that he
intends to hurl back "the rebel hordes" that
captured the capitol at Augusta last winter,
to capture the pine-tree flag of the insurrec-
tionary State of Maine, and place it among
the other trophies of Union successes now
to be seen at Washington. His plan of
campaign is as dashing as that conceived by
the gallant soldier whom he followed at
Gettysburg.

The Lowell Courier has correct under
standing Of the situation here, as the follow
ing extract from its columns will show: sit
will be seen that the fusion between the
Democrats and Greenbackers in Maine has
virtually been completed, and the united op-
position will make desperate effort to car
ry the State 1t is noticeable, however,
that while the fusion is nominally harmoni-
Gus and thorough, it does not fully COM
mand the respect and esteem of many in
dividual members of both parties, and there
is an ill-concealed disgust and jealousy pre-
vailing between the two. We expect to see
the combined party buried under a hand
some Republican majority in September. %
The Republicans of Maine are going to
justify that expectation.

THE Burlington, VT, Free Press says that
the biennial system in legislative elections
and sessions, coupled with the wretched one
term rule, has been failure in that State.
1t has effected little or no saving of ex-
penses, and has given the State green Legis-
latures and crude legislation. The Free
Press advises that the number of members
of the House be reduced and that the term
of the senators be heightened, and that but
one-half that body go out of office at once.
