Practical Politics.

The domain Of politics is the present
The politician may know the past and
divine the future, but primarily he must
deal with the present. His operations
are with the real The men and meas
'ures Of to-day are before him 1t is his
promise to deal with them. he must
take them as he finds them. He can
not have them as be wishes them.
There is so much material before him,
and 1t is Just this shape. So the practical
statesman finds affairs. He tees at once
that there must be adaptation. The
past is dead. The historian can retreat
intoit and reconstruct it. There he has
no resistance. Demosthenese does not
oppose him. Cicero does not controyert
him. Burke does not beat him down
with his relentless logic. Webster does
not Stay him with thunderbolt Of his
eloquence. The historian works among
passive material. The philosopher, OF
theorist may rush in to the future and
give to his ideas what shapes his fancy
may build. There is little resistance fol
man in either the past or the future. II
is the boast Of politicians that they are
practical. That is what constitutes
them statesmen OF the hour. They mus
work in the present. II they are practical
they can not work outside Of 1t. 1t il

A gentleman was once standing by a
little brook, watching its bounding,
gurgling waters. In the midst Of his
musings he noticed scores OF little min

and in the direction Of shoal which was
foot or more high, and over which the
clear, sparkling waters were leaping.
They halted moment or two as Il TO
survey the surroundings, "What

ney any further9'' He soon saw that

and we're only resting and looking ont

continue their journey to the unexplored
little lakelet that lay above the shoal.
All at once they arranged themselves
Ikea little column Of soldiers, and darted
up the foaming little shoal, but the
rapid current dashed them back in con-
fusion. A moments rest and they were
again in the sprayey waters with like re-
suits. For an hour or more they re-
peated their efforts, each time gaining
some little advantage. At last, after
scores and scores Of trials, they bounded
over the shoal, into the beautiful lake.

lately caught one step up to q bamboo
stake fence and quietly pull one Of the
stakes up. Placing it under foot it broke
piece of the stake, and, after lifting it
to its mouth, threw it away. It repeated
this twice or thrice, and then drew an
other stake and began again. Seeing that
the bamboo was old and dry, / asked the
reason Of this, and WIS told to wait and
see what il would do. At last it seemed
to get o piece that suited, and holding It
in the trunk firmly, and stepping the left
fore-leg well forward, passed the piece Of
bamboo under the arm-pit, 80 to speak,
and began to scratch with some force.
NV surprise reached its climax when
saw large elephant lcech fall to the
