Science an Assistant to the Matertal WIFE
Which 1t Works.
Science not only leaves the magma
ton untouched, but adds indefinitely
to the material with which it works.
The more intelligent study of facts
which it has made possible and inevita-
BILE purifies and enlarges in CORE
spending degree the conceptions which
underlie them, and will add in the end
immeasurably to the scope and majesty
of life. The hour is fast approaching
for a new movement of the imagina-
ton; now world awaits interpreted
ton and reproduction in art at its
hands. The first effects of the scientific
tendency, evident in the uncertain note
of contemporary poetry and the defect
i've insight of realistic fiction must not
be mistaken for the final effects; it is
this mistake which gives our poetry its
elegiac note and our fiction its general
confession of the futility of all
things. Great works Of art
never come from hands afflicted
with this kind of paralysis. The real
outcome of the scientific spirit is come
thing very different from the interpre-
tation of realism; for its interpreters
and prophets the time is fast APP
preaching, and no blindness and faint
heartedness of this generation will de-
lay their coming when the hour is ripe.
They, oo,will be realists as all the
great artists have been; realists like
Dante and Shakespeare; like Balzac
and Thackeray; like the wise Goethe,
who held resolutely to the fact because
of the law behind it, who saw that the
! Real and Ideal are one in the divine
order of the universe, and whose clear
glance into the appearance of things
made him the more loyal to the Whole,
the Good and the True. Hamilton W.

FOX AND FOWL,
Cute Reynard's Sagacity in the Role of an
Undertaken.

A pleasing incident, that adds to the
fox's reputation for shrewdness that is
somewhat better than cunning. appears
in the Liverpool Courier. A Scotch
correspondent writes to that journals:
Zone of the stalkers in the deer forest
here has young fox which he caught
when quite cub, and which he keeps
chained to kennel near his cottage
The other day he gave the creature a
dead crow, thinking he might like the
amusement of eating it but Reynard,
after careful consideration, thought the
birds condition rather called for decent
burial, and therefore he dug with his
forepaws large enough hole in front
of his kennel, and when finished he put
the bird into it, laying it on its back,
with its claws in the air.
The stalker, who was watching the
animal, saw him then scrape the loose
earth over the bird so as to quite cover
its body; but the legs still stuck up in
the air These legs seemed to annoy
him good deal, and he tried to press
them down with his nose. Failing in
this. and after evidently turning the
matter over in his mind, he bit the legs
off. laid them flat beside the bird and
then covered everything over with
earth

that these animals, about fifty or sixty,

range themselves Systematically, one
half on one rail and the other half on
the other. They begin by first remov-
ing the earth from the sides of the rails.
Then they arrive at the difficulty of
nuts and bolts, which, though they ex-
aiming them very infinitely, they can
not get over.
On the approach of the up or down
train they wait until the engine is with
in few yards, when, with the utmost
GOODNESS, they simply jump on one side
till the train has passed. and then re-
sumo their work. A remarkable in
stance occurred on one of these occa-
sions. As the engine was approaching
the monkeys made their usual jumps,
with the exception of one, who per-
sisted in remaining on the line, the en-
CINE by this time being very near. Five
or six monkeys, SEEING the danger one
OF their number was in. made a sudden
rush and dragged him of, some laying
hold OF him by the tilil, others by the
