The reprint of the Edinburgh Re-
view for January has lately been issued
by the Leonard Scott Publishing Co.,
Al Barclay St., N. Y. 1t is the practice
of this and the other Quarterly Reviews
to give careful consideration to the
principal topics which are attracting
public attention, and hence we have in
this number two articles which are
we'll worth reading. That entitled
"Agricultural Depression" admits
that the agriculture of England is pass
ing through crisis of unprecedented
severity, sand discusses its causes and
effects under the heads of foreign COM
petition, the land laws, and the rela-
lions of the landlords and tenants. The
other article to which we refer
Ireland, her Present and her
Future" calmly discusses the schemes
which have been proposed to remedy
the present condition of Ireland, and
indicates the chief means by which hel
progress is likely to be assured.
Hamerton's Life of Turner" is q
favorable review of work that will be
welcome to those admirers of the great
painter who will not allow their enthu-
siasm TO make them unreasonable.
British Lighthouses gives histo
ry OF the building of some of the more
celebrated lighthouses, methods ol
lighting, and suggested improvements
especially in the manner of signalling
with short flashes.
The other articles arc Military Re
lations of Russia and England" which
takes up the ever recurring theme Of
Russian advances into Central Asia
and describes the country and the pos
sibilities of an invasion; The Persian
Miracle Play;" Russia before ant
after the War;" Lord Minto il
India" and Plain Whig Principles

"Now you're shouting" he said
with some enthusiasm. "Nice road
eh? Fast time and plenty of passen-
gers, Engines carry plenty of steam,
and don't you forget il; steam gauge
shows a hundred and enough all the
time. Lively road; when the conduc-
tor shouts 'all aboard you can hear
him to the next station Every train
lamp shines like headlight. Stop
over checks given on all through
tickets; passengers drop off the train as
often as they like, do the station two or
three days and hop on the next revival
train that comes laundering along.
Good, whole-souled, campanionable
conductors; amt road in the country
whero the passengers feel more at
home. No passes; every passenger
pays full traffic rates for his ticket.
Wesleyan house air brake on all trains,
too. Pretty safe road, but l didn't
ride over it yesterday" ft
Maybe you went to the Congrcga-
tional churchr | said.
Popular road," said the brakeman,
San old road, too; one of the very
oldest in this country. Good road bed
and comfortable cars. Well managed
road, too; directors don't interfere
with division superintendents and train
orders. Roads mighty popular, but
IT'S pretty independent, too. See,
didn't one of the division supcrintend-
ents down east discontinue one of the
oldest stations on this line two or three
years ago9 But it's a mighty pleasant
road to travel on. Always has such q
pleasant class of passengers.
Perhaps you tried the Baptist" /
guessed once more.
All, hap said the brakeman,
" she's daisy, isn't she? river road !;
beautiful curves; sweep around any
thing to keep close to the river, but it's
all steel rail and rock ballast, single
track all the way and not side track
from the road house TO the terminus
Takes heap of water to run her
through; double tanks at every station,
and there isn't ian engine in the shops
that can pull pound OF run a mile in
less than two guages. But it runs
through lovely country; these river
roads always do; river on one side and
hills on the other, and its a steady
climb up the grade all the way till the
road ends where the fountain-head of
the river begins. Yes, sir, Pll take the
river road every time for lovely trip,
sure connections and good time, and
no prairie dust blowing in at tho win
dows. And yesterday when the con-
ductor came round for the tickets with
little basket punch, didn't ask him
to pass me, but paid my fare like
little man twenty-five cents for an
hours run and little concert by the
passengers throwed in. | tell you, pill
grim, you take the river road when
you want"
But just here the long whistle from
the engine announced station, and the
brakeman hurried to the door, shout
ing:
"Zionsville! This train makes no
stops between here and indianapolis !"

THE OTHER WORLD.

IL lies around us IKE n cloud
A world we do not see;
Yet the sweet closing of an eve
May bring us there TO be.
Its gentle breezes fan our check;
Amid our worthy cares
It's gentle voices whisper love,
And miDgle with our prayers.
Sweet hearts around us throb and beat,
Sweet helping bands are stirred,
And palpitates the veil between
With breathing almost heard.
Tho silenco-awful, sweet and calm
They have no power to break;
For mortal words are not for them
To utter or partake.
SO thin, so soft, so sweet they glide,
So near to press they scem,-
Thoy seem to lull us TO our rest,
And melt into our dream.
And in the hush of rest they bring
'Tis easy now 10 see
How loveyl and how sweet pass
The hour of death may be.
To close the eye, and close tho car,
Wrapped in trance bliss,
And gently dream IN loving arms
To swoon to that-from this.
Scarce knowing if we wake or sleep,
Scarce asking where we are,
To feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow and all care.
Sweet souls around usl watch us still,
Press nearer to our side,
Into our thoughts, into our prayers,
With gentle helpings glide.
Let death between us be as naught,
A dried and vanished stream;
Your joy be the reality,
Our suffering life the dream.
Il Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Presidential Campaign.

Gen. Grant, no doubt, feels quite
confident that he can be elected for the
third term if he will only accept the
position, but we know of thousands OF
men who say that Kendall's SPAWN
Cure is the very best remedy that has
ever been discovered for spavins,
splints, curb, callous, ringbone or any
lameness on beast or man. Everybody
should investigate these subjects and
read the advertisement for Kendall's
SPAWN Cure.

A NEW CoURsE.-llow wonld il do
to have a series of "Yale lectures" on
Hearing? Those ON "Preaching'a have
been equally successful, SO far as the
character OF the lectures and the lectnr-
ing is concerned, and it is to be hoped
in their effect upon preachers. Some ir-
reverent person may suggest that the
"Aearing" will always be determined
by the "preaching;" that where one is
good, the other is sure 10 be. Bnt that
does not follow. Some people do not
know good preaching when they hear
it. And SO ii might be good idea TO
institute series of lectures in which
the Pew shall be somewhat enlightened
as to what it ought TO expect of the Pnl-
pit, and as to what the Pulpit has Alright
to expect of the Pew. We have no sug-
gestion to make as to the place where
these lectures shall be given, nor as TO
the lectures; only, iuasmuch as preach
ers have been talking TO preachers, IL
would seem fair that hearers should
talk to hearers. A good sub-topic for a
course of lectures might BE. "Pnt
Yourself in His Place. .".-llnterier
