The Amateur Lecturer.


 The amateur lecturer possesses many char acteristies; all of which are pleasing. One of these is the enormous mass of authorities he always has at his fingets ends. Listening to this lecture on whatever subject 1t ntight be, the mind is at first dazzled, and finally over whelmed, with the number of distinguished authors brought to bear upon the subject treated of, all of whom, by remarkable CO., incidenee, say "ditten to the lecturer. What he advances is proved by what Shakespeare says, su5stantiated by Milton, corroborated by Addison, supported By Burke and clenched by Macauley or Mill. This familiarity of his with all that has ever been written by anyone worth reading. is found to be as catching as the measles, and listening to him for half an hour the auditor arrives ct the conviction that he also is on thoroughly good terms with every author of mark, and could, if he liked, tess their names about in the same sschummy" way. Thus pleasure results all around. Then the amateur lecturer, whether his subject be grave or gay, will as rule have his little joke, and he very kindly leaves his audience in no manner of doubt as to where the laugh comes in. We all know when the joke is coming because he always pauses to take breath before uttering it, draws himself up to his full height, and throws his eyes up to the ceiling, and we all know when it has been delivered by the in terval he kindly allows for the laughter while he dallies with his manuscript, by the deprecatory snirk of his countenance,, and the preternaturally solemn look which fol- lows the smirk, and which says, stNow Pm serious again'' Who SO hard d-hearted not to laugh when he has gone through all this pan tomime on our behalf The pathos of the amateur lecturer can only faintly be describ- ed When he has brought the hero whose biography he is giving us down into difficult 1 ties or lower water, or when he has come in to the terrible results of the social plague he l is denouncing, or when he is about to de

&k THAT BOOK SALE Has Surprised Us.

We ought to know by this time that low enough prices will sell anything at any time, but we confess we did not think so many books could be sold at this time of year.
 We wish to say just word or two more about it. The thing will swing along now without advertising, because people have got to speaking about it. What we want to say is this: The booksellers have met our a91e1c- ttsed brtccs on two or three books, as we expected they would. That is what the peo pie want, isn't it? As yet, how ever, it doesn't amount to any thing-not to one book in a hundred. So far the benefit of competition can only be got by buying here. By the way, we omitted to say in our last adv that the stock of books now put in is many times larger and more varied than we ever showed at Christmas time-we think at least six times as large. The sale continues this week.

The Australian Circus had crowded
and enthusiastic tent full of people to
witness its performance last Saturday
night. BY half-past o'clock the seats
were all filled and chairs were brought
in until the entire seating capacity was
tested to its utmost and standing room
was soon at a premium. Mr.. Robert
Love was in his element and per-
formed the Irish feat of being in two
places at once. The performers prob
ably gave the best show of the
season and the programme was gone
through with without hitch or mis-
tumble. There is no need for enumera-
ton of the various performances /:
suffice it to say that they were all good.
The Circus will give an entirely new
programme tonight, which will include
an old fashioned English steeple chase
race of one hundred years ago. The
ring will be opened at both sides and
the horses will run over an imaginary
course somewhere outside of the tent,
coming repeatedly before the audience
and leaping the barriers until the race
is run to the finish in true-blue style
and in dead earnest. a prize will be
given the winner of the race, and it is
not known before hand which horse
will win. Bungaroo and Itiche will do
new wonders and one of the features
of the evening will be the horizontal
bar act, by Harris, King and Francis.
Popular prices as usual.
They say; that some OF the Saloon
clocks have the peculiarly of running
fast inethe morning and extremely
slow at night that the police are
objecting to garroting as it disturbs
their sweet, sweet dreams; that drivers
of all kinds of vehicles are becoming
very careless; that Nolte makes an early
morning coffee which will cure nervous
ness; that the next Legislature should
appropriate enough money to furnish
each night policeman with a portable,
bed; that the Circus last Saturday
night was bumper and lot of tum-
blers; that it will give an old fashioned
English Steeple chase tonight hat the

THE INTERPRETERS.

From The English illustrated Magazine for october
Days dawn that make amends for many
Sometimes,
When heaven and earth seem sweeter even than any
Mans rhymes.
Light had all been quenched in France, or Quelled
Had Homer sung not, or had Hugo held
His peace.
Had sappho's self not left her word thus long
For token,
The sea round Lesbos yet in waves OF song
Had spoken.
And yet these days Of subtler air and finer
When loveiier looks the darkness, and diviner
The light
rhe gift they give of all these golden hours,
pours forth reyer6erate rays or shadowng showers
In turn.
Clouds beams and winds that make the live day track
Seem living
What were they did spirit give them back
thanksgiving
In human thought have all things habitation;
Our days
Laugh lower, and tighten past, and find no station
That stays.
But thought and faith mightier things than time
Can wrong.

Remembrance though the tide Of change that rolls
Wax hOary,
Gives earth aud heaven for songs sake ana he sOus
