Yet Tobias shoots his grammar,

And he questions very rarely

No, he has no education,
And HIS beauty took vacation
Bout the time OF his creation,
So to speak;
And upon mature reflection,
Taking each distinct dissection,
I've decided his complexion's
Rather weak.
Tho his shirt has not q rimplc,
Nor his beardless chin dimple,
Yet he boasts chronic pimple
On his beak;
And his voice is not reliant,
For at times it is defiant.
And at times II is s. plant

Editor Mirror:
The program for our celebration of the coming
ever-glOrious Fourth has not as yet been made
public, but Dame RumOr (garrulOus old jade) has
already anticipated the official announcement and
in her report chapel entertainment largely
figures. Now, if the venerable female has hit it
right suppose that feature of the program will
be presented between the hours of a. III. (when
the mercury in the thermometer begins to simmer)
and IL IN. (when it will have reached the boiling
pointD When you endeavor to place audience
which we may roughly estimate being in the
neighborhood of SIX hundred people, into a hall
which is capable only of comfortably accomodat-
ing let say five hundred-no matter how at
tractive the performance may be- it will be attend
ed by considerable discomfort. The far-famed "vo-
cophones may foot their most melodious martial
melodies. and the mysterious ''contingents' may
sweetly MARBLE the patriotic stanzas of
Hail Columbia A-mir:ck-ee,'' etc,
and still we would fail to be
alt Ogether happy under the circumstances. Now
in view of these facts hope will be not considered
presumptuous in me to suggest the following. viz:
If the chapel entertainment is foregone conclu-
sion let us have it couple of hours earlier in
the day, better STILL postpone it until evening"
and let have it to taper off, with. instead Of
the fireworks offer this merely as sugges-
ton. TAMMANY.

A Sociological Power.

The genesis of voluntary attention is to
be found in its utility. When the condi-
tons of life become at all hard, and especi-
ally if they become so by more or less sud-
den changes. the power of adaptation to
them is dependent upon voluntary attention
to details: on consideration of something
besides the Immediately attractive and use
full The savage is lazy, is inspired only by
chase, by war, by play; his interest is in the
unknown, the unforeseen, the chance. He
is not capable of continuous labor. In half
civilized communities work is repugnant.
Voluntary attention is factor of civiliza-
ton, and is maintained with effort. The
most constant characteristic of criminals is
lack of power to pursue steady calling;
and the Italian anthropologists regard this
as a reversiOn to primitive habits. Volun-
tary attention thus came in, and is main
tanned as sociological power.-Prof. TIL.
