Manual training is slowly making

the needs of the people demanded it.
1t is already not only established,
but endowed under the London

of teachers are being held in twelve
centers in London, to each of which
is given four lectures. This must ex-

ual training. Such a reform as this
is far-reaching in its effects. We can
not begin to measure it's influence.
The fact that manual training" has
been demanded at all, shows a spirit
of unrest and inquiry that is one of
the most hopeful signs of progress.
When the people begin to look out,
even though blindly, for something
better, we may be certain that some
thing better will befound. But man.

WHICH WILL YOU HAVE?

In the Office of a well-llnown merchant, late

thrilling temperance lecture | ever saw in the
whole course of my life. 1t was simply the
following, marked with a pen on postal card.
and nailed to the desk: which," Wife or
Whisky The Babes or the Bottles? Home or
HELP"
Where did you get that, and what did you
nail it up there for?' | inquired.

the reply, "and | will tell you the story of
that card. Some time ago | found myself
falling into a drinking habit. | would run
out once in a while with a visiting customer,

on any slight occasion that offered | soon
found that my business faculties were becom-

wife, wonder depicted in the faces of my chill
dren, and then | took long look ahead

unconsciOusly wrote the inscription on that
card On looking it over after completion its
awful revelation burst upon me like a flash.
nailed it up there and read it hundred
times that afternoon. That night | went
home sober, and | have not touched a drop
of Intoxicating liquor since. You see how
startling is its ALTERATION. Now | have no
literary proclvities and regard that card as
an inspiration. 1t speaks out three solemn
warnings every time look at il. The first is
voice from the altar, the second from the
cradle and the third and last from my home"
My friends earnestness deepened into sol

The Good Old Saxon Tongue.

The following poem was originally
written some twenty years ago by
poor shoemaker or cobbler whose
name | cannot now recall. At the
time it appeared its author was Civ
ing a good account of himself as a
soldier of the Union army. tits dated
Washington, July &c, 1868, and was
one of a series entitled "Stray Shots
from a Masked Battery by an Old
Gunner" which appeared in the
Newsdealer. The writer once met
this poet of humble garb in the vii
lage of Johnson, Vt, and was forcibly
impressed by the intellectual vigor
and poetic taste and discrimination
he exhibited. He had only a very Or
binary common school education;
yet he quoted Shakespeare and the
leadingpoets, English and American,
with surprising facility, appositeness,
appreciation and feeling. What has
now become of this untaught child of
genius | am unable to say. | have
preserved the following specimen of
his poetic ability as being the best
tribute known to me, in fact the only
one to "Our Good Old Saxon
Tongue" and, batting perhaps, the
poetic license in the closing line ire
lating to a matter of syntax), not
unworthy the late John G, Sake or
the muse of Oliver Wendell Holmes

That sweetly rings in honest prose,
And sweeter still in song;
That has but one superlative:
Whose adjectives are few
As wise and foolish, good and bad,
Fair, stormy, old and new;
That ne'er confounds, with many words,
The false with what is true
Has no inscrutabIe decrees,''
But boldly 0uosf fate:

That takes ne journey round about
To reach meaning plain,
But goes directly to its goal,
And then is off again
And he who runs may read apace
Nor find his study vain;
That needs no foreign phrase to add
To beauty or to strength
To crop it's fair proportions, or
To give the needed length
That's pure and perfect in itself
No wrinkle and no spot;
That's sure, in fitting words, to tell
Each sad or merry thought;
The most neglected, worst abused,
Best tongue of all the lot
And many worthy learned men,
Chats in their own regard)
Through school-boy and collegiate DAYS
Have studied very hard
Ger authors grave, profound, they

With pale and sallow look.
Proud to be praised and nothing more,

The English spelling book.

Legitimate and strong,
That sweetly rings in honest prose,
And sweeter still in song

A Saxon lullaby
To sOothe your infant lids to rest,
Or hush the rising sigh
There is no language half so sweet
On earth to you or l.
