ENGLISH FARMERS ALARMED. I'll

ENGLISH FARMERS ALARMED.-The rapid increase of the imports of the United States to Europe is now begin ming to alarm the agriculturists, not alone of England, but of the Continent. The Marquis of Lansdowne, addressing a meeting of farmers at the little town of Colne, in Lancaster, said that every. thing pointed to the division of the present large estates into small farms. He said the time' had come when tc successfully contend with American competition the farmers of England should become an independent body, making use of every scientific and prac- tical aid to increase the productiveness of the soil.

A POETS EXPERIENCE.

There were several men clustered around the stove in the back room of store, and somehow or other the sub- ject of newspaper came up for discus sion. One man said that editors were more jealous of each other than any class that they never had good word for each other, etc.
 A long-haired youth, with solemn look, spoke up, and heaving sigh, said that he had had some experience with editors, and he found them the reverse of jealous of each other that Texas editor was always willing to deny him. self comforts for the benefit of a brother editor.

She has proved an amiable creature, determined to be pleased with America. She has paid a compliment to New Jersey. She asked in New York how her clothing got the un- common sweetness which 1t had when it came from the wash, and was told that Gill; Borax Soap was used in the laundry of the hotel. When she got to Boston she had but one request to make, and that was for the Borax, and so MT. Gill, who lives at Bergen, N. J., got an order from the Vendome Hotel for his soap.

SUNLIGHT.
BY GEORGE EDGAR MONTGOMERY.


The sunlight dows from sapphire skies
And over field and river lies,
IL streams upon me warm and white
Through the glad hours that follow night.
1t thrills tho bursting buds and leaves.
And with creative magic weaves
Fresh bloom and color in the air
And wild enchantment everywhere,
Men deem it but common thing,
As common nm, as the flowers which spring
Its beauty, bright as dawn to me,
The wonder Of it's life is clear
10 those who fathom far and near,
Its radiant mystery burns alone
For hearts that look into it's own.
Oh! have watched it till seem
To lose my senses in dream;
And yet its splendor is, know,
part of things that thrive and grow.
As though with some divining eve
l trace it through an ambient sky,
And strive in fancy to outrun
Its fight beyond the central sun.
l note the subtle waves which move
As silent waters in groove,
Each separate, yet together bound
Like sweet harmony of sound:
l see them borne with airy grace
Aross the million leagues Of space,
Borne with an equal speed and blent
With power that is omnipotent;
strange and solemn order guides
Their Infinite motion and the tides
That lift the universal sea,
Or the spring leahng Of tree,
Are not more governed by force
Which holds the earth within its course,
Which makes of every man part
OF the wide worlds immortal heart.

The New Rome.

There is to-day, at one end of Old
Rome, new Rome which has nothing in
common with the Rome which presents
itself to the mind at the mention of the
Imperial City. It is modern Rome, a
city of idiotic splendor. 1t consists of
long, straight streets, bordered by high
houses, built all in the same monotonous
style, and with water and gas on each
floor. Yet everybody admires the dull,
commonplace, comfortable new Rome,
and wants to live there. Already an i'm
mense Continental hotel is being built in
this new section of the city where every
thing breathes OF the nineteenth century
and the year 1881.
