QUE BABY.

Our beautiful baby! So
Our hright-cycd boy!
His mothers best treasure; j
His fathers best joy.
His eyes were the browncst;
His checks were the rcddest;
His teeth were the whitest e'cr seen;
There ne'er WaS another
So loved by his mother
md SO spoiled by a father, / wecn,
The baby soon left us,
The boy took his place;
OF baby's sweet prattle
Was left not a trace.
His laugh was the loudest,
His whistle the shrillcst,
His feet were the nimblest e'e seen:
There ne'er was another
So loved by Il mother
And SO spoiled by a teacher, I ween.
The youth o appeared,
And the boy stepped aside,
And tried with a m~oustache
The sweet mouth to hide.
His boots were the blacklist,
His hands were the whitest,
His hair was the smootheSt e'er seen;
There nc'er was another
So loved by a mother
And 30 spoiled by the ladies, l ween.
But again the scene changes;
The youth could not bide;
Instead we've the man,
With his wife by his side.
His step is the firmest,
His brain is the clearest,
His heart is the trueS e'er seen;
There ne'er was another
So loved by a mother
And SO spoiled by Il sweet wife, l wccn.

NI4GARA AND LANDSCAPE ART.

| Some wears ago when Lord Duffer,n was adj
| vocatine the establishment of an International
Park at Niagara he protested against having 1t
| desecrated or in any way sophisticated by the
apuny efforts of the art of the landscape
| gardener and insisted that it should be
| carefully preserved in the picturesque and
aunyulgarized condition in which it was origi-
| nally laid out by the hand of Nature" The
| Commission which met at the Falls yesterday
in accordance with the recent act of the Legisla-
| ture had no such horror of landscape art, but
wisely selected as advisers Messrs. Olmsted and
Vaux, who rank foremost in their profession
here by universal consent. 1t is evidently the
sense of the Commission that the choice.in the
method of treatment is not between art and ma
| ture, but between true art and false art. Inc
so-called park cannot be left to itself alto
gether. Something is to be done by man, and
| therefore the only proper course Is to take
counsel of artists whose taste and training are
guarantees that they will encourage nature to
develop in the fullest measure the resources OF
lmpressiveness and grandeur and poetic charm
which are possible under the conditions.
Lord Dufferin was apprehensiye, no doubt,
that'some gardener might undertake to decorate
neatly sodded and planned smooth twice week
with patent lawn mo yer. He saw the rivers
edge fringed and embroidered with fashionable
flowers, Goat Island splashed and ribboAed
with coleus and scarlet geranums, luxuriant
growths of sub tropical plants scattered here
and there throughout q wilderness of urns anu
statues and paint and carpentry. 1t must be
admitted that treatment OF this sort would be
| AS thoroughly destructive of every wholesome
and elevating influence which the cataract could
exert as the slovenly responsiveness OF the rook-
cries and litter-heaps which now threaten to
take permanent possession of tie shores. But
only ignorance and vulgarity will confound
such trhing ard aflectation with the efforts of
the art of the landscape gardener"
Sound art will not undeIrate or cOunteract
the impressions conveyed by the noblest
scenery, but will sympathetically cooperate
with Nature to deepen and strengthen those i'm
pressons. 1t will not hesitate even to under
take the restoration Of the setting and sur
roundiugs of Niagara. 1t will preserve every
characteristic feature and shut out of sight
whatever is homogeneous and distracting. 1t
will emphasize every contrast where this is rot
inconsistent with the severe simplicity which
must rule throughout the whole. If need be it
can make rugged cliff more bold. and shadows
deeper and more mysterious as readily AS it can
add a fresh grace and delicacy TO the foliage
upon the trees and understands. In no case
will it thwart Nature, but help to bring her
forces into play so that the ideal toward which
they are working can be more completely real
lied. There certainly is nothing "puny in
such labors or results. True art will not
"desecrate" even the sublime sanctites OF
Niagara. True art alone can make Niagara
more Niagara-like.

THE GRApUATE or THE PERIOD.

The commencement season is upon us, and dur
ing the next few weeks several hundreds of coll
lege graduates will be knocking for admission
into the various professions and walks Of life.
1t is the custom in many quarters to speak of
the graduate as if he were an affection in
stead of a boon, and there are time-honored
Jokes at his expense which have been paraded
every year for quarter of a century and which
are being busted for fresh appearance now.
In these annual jibes the graduate is depicted
as conceted young person whose. four years
in college have resulted chiefly in causing him to
imbibe the notion that whatever calling he con-
descends To enter he is certain to ad0rn and IL
illuminate from the start. That there are gradu-
ates of this variety is unhappily true, but they
are the exception rather than the rule, and
their disease,is moreover harmless one which
a few months Of stern experience is certain to
cure. The great body Of graduates are sensible
| fellows who are not so much convinced OF their
own great abilities as they are perplexed by an
| inability to decide as to what path in life they
| are best fitted to enter The college life of to-
day is so little isolated from the world that the
undergraduate has no trouble in perceivIng
| that success in life is won by hard work and not
| by diploma.
1t is common belief, especially among
| graduates Of ten or dozen years standing, that
| the younger generation is much inferior to
| former ones; that the colleges no longer
| turn out men of such force as ten or a dozen
years ago. These fvrceful graduates go back
to their colleges and are panied by the youthful
aspect of the students there, and are surprised
that their parents allow them to go to college at
80 immature an age. This is an amiable de-
fusion, born of an inability to realize the fact
that the disturbed graduates are themselves
growing old. The boys in college nowadays
are no younger than their predecessors were,

AGENcIES OF ECONOMIC DISCUSSION


Mr.. Thomas G. Sherman is one of the most
courteous as well as adrot opponents of Amer
lean Protection. Appearing for the defence III
the case of DR.. Hamlin against the Golden
Club, lie sums up the evidence with consum-
mate skill on another page of this issue. While
we have no desire to add to the embarrassment
of the prosecution, and shall be pleased If the
endowment fund Of Middlebury College and
the missionary surplus in Turkey can be in
creased in the novel manner suggested by Mr..
Shearman, we are forced to admit that
certain allegations made by DR.. Hamlin are
not fully sustained at present. The truth
seems to be that Dr. Hamlin, as Wa took pains
to suggest to our readers in directing their at
tention to his letters. made too elastic use OF
the word @milions" in enumerating the tracts
and documents sent out from England to
America. The Golden Club has done con-
siderable work in this line--Mr. Sherman
himself admits something under q million
copies of one appeal to American farmers-but
generally it has preferred to depend upon the
zeal of Its Free Trade converts in the. United
States. 1t has been too wise to prejudice Amer
lean feeling against Free Trade by flooding the
country with @millions on millions" of its own
imprints. 1t has had the gratuitous services

PATERSON AND ITS LNDUSTRIES7

~
People learned years ago that the Hon. w.
w. Phelps was likely to say something worth
hearing, when called upon to speak. His re-
marks at the Beard of Trade dinner in Paterson
the other day deserve a larger audience, and
will be found on another page of this issue. 1t
does not often happen that man succeeds in
saving, on such an occasion, so many things that
are of general interest, and that carry with them
so important lesson.
Paterson has come to be what it is because Of
the protective tariff. II is easy to claim that
this tariff has done harm to other parts of the
country the one thing certain to the people Of
Paterson, who know its workings there, is that
il has helped Paterson. Without referring
directly to the cause, Mr.. Phelps gives details
of the wonderful development of industries in
that city, and leaves his hearers to judge for
themselves whether any similar growth would
have been possible under different system.
Another point touched upon, which merits
extended discussion, is the importance of tech
nical education for the young in manufacturing
cities What Paterson has done, or has failed
to do, in that direction is of little general i'm
portance. But is certain that American indus
tries owe their wonderful success in large
measure TO the intelligence and education of the
workmen. This measure of success the work.
ing men and women would not nave been able
TO attain but for the free education which the
country offers, nor could it have offered such
education, in very many localities, except for
the general prosperity which the protective
tariff was designed to promote.
