POETRY.
LOSING AND LIVING

Forever the sun Is pouring its gold;
On u hundred worlds that beg and borrow:
His warmth he rquanders on SUBMITS cold:
His wealth on the homes OF want and SORROW
To withhold his largeness OF precious light
l. to bury himself in eternal night
To give
Is to live.
The flower shines not for itself at all:
lts Joy is the JOY IL freely difuses
Of beauty and balm II is pradigal,
And it lives in the light it freely loses.
No choice for the reese but glory or doom,
To exhae or smother to ,ther or bloom.
To deny
Il 70 die.
The sees lend s;lyery rays to the land.
The land its sapphire.stIeams TO the ocean:
The heart sends blood to the brain Of commfnd,
The brain TO the heart its lightning motion:
And over and ever we yield our breath,
TIL the mirror IL dry and images death.
To live
Il TO give.
He In dead whose band is not open wide
To help the need Of a human brother:
lie doubles the length OF bis lifelong ride
Who gives his fortunate place TO another;
And thousand million lives are his
Who carries the world in his sympathies.
To deny
Is TO die.

COUNT NASSENA,
FRENCH FIELD MARsHAL's SON DIES
IN AN OREGON POOR HOUSE.

saltm, Or, Statesman, Feb II.
Sunday morning, just as the sun was ri.
sing ever the mountains. the spirit of be
who was once called Count Massena, left
its body of clay. He died at the poorhouse,
with no one but attending nurses and two
little boys to wipe away the cold sweat OF
death. Our readers are entirely familiar
with the unfortunate events which have
accompanied the advent of this son of
Field Marshal Massena into America, and
they need be but briefly recounted. He
occupied high position in Europe in diff
ferent capacities, but when the "child Of
victory" as Napoleon surnamed his father,
lost favor with the sovereign on account Of
his rapacity and cruelty, the family lost its
high position in the old world and Massena,
who was but yet boy, was compelled to
make his own future. Ho received thor
ough education and entered q monastery.
Subsequently he was at the head OF the In
QUESTION in Rome, where his natural in-
stincts of cruelty served him we'll. Becom-
ing dissatisfied with Roman Catholicisn, hs
left the Church and started on y lecturing
tour thro' England, where he met his wife.
He is described az being in that land one
OF the most fsstid;ons of men. Coming
to America . series of disasters befeil
him, which soured his temper to such an
extent that he became cruel in the ex-
treme, and the Froemasons were compelled
to refuse him recognition and to extend an
aiding hand to his wife, who 10 now me-

ELMGkOVE PLACE,
GLASGOW. Oct. 90, 1879.


DEAR SIR-Your communication Of yes
terday was duly received, and in reply, for
the satisfaction Of your correspondent at
Boston, ] NAL e the following memoranda,
which you had better, perhaps, transmit to
him by post as they stand:
/. do not know and never heard of any
brook or burn in Ayrshire called the Rye :;
but, even IL there were. the title of the
song is an old title, to which the words
were only adapted by Burns, and first
printed, believe, Oh n broad sheet.
2. IF the words had referred to a river
they would most probably have been "oer
the rye" and not "thro' the rye"
8. No woman in her senses. crossing a
brook or stream or water of any kind,
would or could "draigle her pstticoats,' as
described in the song but in passing over
a field Of rye, even on a foot-path, could
not help dong it after rain or dew, for the
heads OF grass or corn would hang down
over the foot-path.
4. II was very common long ago, and
still is, to have small, beaten foot-paths
through corn fields and grass fields leading
to other fields or wells or to adjacent
houses, ETC., and on these foot paths, when
passengers met, it would be very diff suit
indeed 10 pass without jostling or else GO
ing into the growing crop. In sbe particu-
lar case supposed, salutation was ex-
changed, without offense, aud, it may be
presumed without improperly. IL would
hardly be possible, indeed, TO avoid it.
8. All doubt as ts the true meaning Of the
word IN question, is set at rest by the ty-
pogrsphy. The VOID throughout the song
In Burns own edition is printed invariably
with small r. III the word had been the
name of river, 1t would have been capi-
tal undoubtedly, for Burns was addicted to
the use of capitals, even where they were
not required, and would never have omit
ted given capital through an entire song
In the Same word, If the capital had been
essential to the neaning Of the word
6. an quite aware OF the controversy
alluded to by your correspondent, but the
difficulty has originated in a total misap-
prehepsion Of the circumstances by the
writers. The song does not refer to any
rustic gallantries in the harvest field at all,
but To very rare salutation when it could
not be avoided. Jennie Was probably some

Some time ago a member Of th, bar in

lowing biz Of poetical exegesis, which had

Seemed TO imply that traversing the rye
was an habitual or common thing. But
what, in the name of the Royal Agrcultu-
raj Society, could be the idea of tranping
down field of grain IN that style! The
song perhaps suggests a harvest scene,
when both sexes as Is the custom Of Great
Britain, are at work reaping and when
they would come and 20 through the rye,

London Sporting Times,
A clergyman who lately left Liverpool in
one of the huge ocean steamers began to
feel rather uncomfortable soon after leaving
the mouth of the river, and having an in
PRODUCTION to the captain sought him out to
learn If there was any danger. The cap
tain did not answer Immediately, but led
his passenger to the forecastle and told him
to listen to what was going on. The cler-
gyman was shocked TO hear party Of sail
ors swearing vigorously and expressed his
horror to his conductor. The captain mere
iy remarked: "Do you think these men
would swear in such manner if there was
any real danger?" Whereupon tho clergy
man seemed satisfied and retired. A day
or two afterward, when they encountered
rather severe storm, the clergyman, re.
membering what he had been shown before
managed to make bis way with great diff
Guilty to the forecastle, and was overheard
by the captain, as be came away, exclaim-
ing to himself: "Thank God, they're swear

The Milwaukee Sun has invented de-
vice to prevent market men from palming
off old eggs for fresh ones. The inven-
tion is thus described: I" He proposes to
arrange rubber stamp in the pest of

stamp is arranged with a pad which is
saturated with iLdelible ink. Whom the
hen lays an egg,as is well known, she kicks
slightly with her hind leg. An electric disc
Is arranged 80 that her foot touches 1t, when
the stamp turns over on the ink pad, and
then revolves, stamping the date on the
egg. The hen then goes of about her bus
mess, the farmers hired girl removes the
egg, resets the stamp, and is again ready.
On each evening, after the hens have re-
tired to their roost, with the roosters, the
date of the stamp is changed to that of the
following day, and the good work goes on.
In this way there can be no cheating. You

think the missionaries will say with me that
they have more to contend with from white savages
than dark-skinned ones. In my late cruise, there
was more to contend with from men calling them

The civilized man, living a few years among -avages
becomes one himself, aud sinks as far below the
Wild man as he was above him when they came in

In closing this rambling article, l will say to this
government that they can unquestiOnably have all
the people from the Line Islands they wish to send
for. without employing agents and sub-agents; and
furthermore that there are plenty Of men in Homo

immigration from the Line Islands.

MR. EprroR As the coming Legislature will
doubtless take this matter into consideration, 1t is
well that the public should have all the information
ON the subject that can be had. Having lately re-
turned from q successful cruise from the Line
Islands in the bark Hapaii, both from my observa-
tons at this time and in years back, L have no hesl-
tatiou in saying that there is no difficulty IN getting
two thousand people each year for some years to
come. and more if required. There are fifteen
Islands in the Gilbert group, and according to
Wilkes exploring expedition. there are about LOO
SQUARE miles Of dry land, and according to the same
authority, there was in 1s41. estimated. $4,000 in
habitants, making this group the most densely popu-
lated place in the world, where the people derived
their subsistence from their own lands and sur
roundings. These populOus islands are situated IN
