their contemporaries than Carlyle, and that
for the most part the influence so exerted
has been wholesome. How this could be
is not difficult to show. The extravaganza
of his hostility to the democratic tendencies
of the time could do little harm, because
the tendencies grew out of changes in the
conditions of society which were far too
powerful to be arrested or checked. But
Carlyle preached gospel of earnestness
and industry and sincerity which operated
as a salutary tonic. He taught that the
first duty of every man was to do the work
that lay ready to his hand, and to do it
with all his might, no matter whether it
was small or great. He taught the great
ness of independence and self-reliance and
self-help, and he warned his hearers
against the dangers OF insincerity and
demagogism and cant, which do unaues-
tionably appertain to democratic move
ments. He held sort of pagan variety
of what has been called Muscular Chris
tianity He was not fettered by any creed,
but for him the Immensities and the Eter-
mites served the purpose which with
Charles Kingsley very personal God an
swered.
And even those who perceived most
clearly the utter fallacy of his principal
articles of belief, were fascinated and en-
thralled by the singular charms Of his
writing. For, despite the involved and
affected style which seems to have been to
him an unfortunate legacy from his German
studies, powerful vein of poetry runs
through all his books, and descriptive
force the like of which has seldom or never
been seen. His French Revolution and
Frederic the Great abound with inimitable
pictures, which live in the memory beyond
any ordinary verbal narrative His shadows
are black as midnight, and his lights are
binding flashes of the levin, while in
the foreground his deifed heroes perform
their feats with exaggerated passion and
power But in this talent he has no equal
and, indeed, 10 parallel, and when to
these almost tremendous pictures is added
the alternately mournful and denunciatory
exploitation of the writer, the effect pro-
duced is alike wierd and fascinating.
Carlyle had little or nothing in common
with his century. He was as a man
" born out of due time, and he seemed to
think that his mission was to deplore and
protest against and denounce the abomina-
BILE obstinacy and wickedness of world
which had ceased to believe in the divine
right of kings, and which objected more
and more every year to tyranny in all its
shapes. As counselor the Sage of Chel-
sea is not to be recommended, nor is his
philosophy either rational or a whole
some one but to those who can separate
the wheat from the chat, and who can
avail themselves of his sturdy and elo-
quent advocacy of earnestness and simple
industry, his works will ever be precious
and valued. As the unsparing enemy of
Cant in all It's protean forms, as the apostle
of maniness and directness, as the op-
ponent of shams wherever found, ne will
be remembered and read and quoted long
after his theory of government by force
has been forgiven, and his ideas of des-
potic heroism have been quietly consigned
to oblivion.

extreme penalty Of the law for the murder Of
J. Usher, at Kamloops, in December, 1879
The prisoners were well disposed, and very

7:S0 a. NJ. the hangman fixed the ropes on the
beam, and proceeded, at $50 o'clock, to the
cell to piuion the prisoners. After they were
pinioned they were taken out to the scaffold,
which was erected in the northeast end
of the yard. They mounted the steps
firmly, accompanied by the Reverend

quietly and said For the honor and glory
of God L acknowledge my crime. l forgive
everyone from my heart, even my execu-
toner, and [ most humbly beg Almighty God
to forgive me-" The ropes were then put on
their necks and the caps drawn down, and at
exactly $50 o'clock the hangman pulled the

Recreation,

The literal meaning of this word is
to make over again but in its ordi-
nary acceptation it is intended to
convey the idea of rest. refreshment
or rather. renovation. The body is
refreshed by rest the brain Is reno
waited by sleep, by absolute repose.
But body and brain may be invigo-
rated for season by changing the
direction of their respective activi-
ties. And also by working altern-
ately. A man who has ecome tired
ofriding on horseback or in a carriage
rests himself, gets rid of his fatigue
by walking. The brain which has
become weary in thinking of one
subject is refreshed by some ether
study. On the other hand, a man
who feels tired all over, by work or
long walk will get rested sooner by
sitting down to read than if he did
nothing. Rachel, the great tragic
actress, when returning from one OF
her performances at two or three
o'clock in the morning, rested her.
self by spending an hour or two in
changing the furniture of her rooms.
The best sedative which a public
speaker can take after a great effort
is to read newspaper, or anything
else that has variety of short state
ments.
The great practical idea we wish to
convey is. that recreation is not idle
ness, but change of direction in the
operation of the physical or mental
forces. A French actress lately went
mad within an hour after the play,
because she went home, laid down
and let the mind run on in the same
track. She should have changed to
bodily activity like Rachel. Halls s
