he resolved to make one more effort to
place his services. 1t was a toss-up as to
which of the great London daiies should
be applied to, but fortunately The Daily
News won the toss, and Mr. Forbes found
himself appreciated. Mr. Robinson, of
The News, met him pleasantly, and, after
listening to what he had to say, re-
marked: yes that sounds very interest
lug and valuable. VIII you oblige me by
writing three columns on the subject
and will you consider guineas a
column adequate remuneration? If so
please let the copy be sent in as rapidly
as possible. Having returned to his
lodgings and begun to write Mr. Forbes
found that he had much more than three
columns of matter to say, and went back
to explain the difficulty. He saw the
managing editor this time, and the follow
ing brief dialogue followed:

asked laying his finger on the slip Of

father as the reward Of industry, but
not of genius, since the old gentleman

had written his blank verse, wiped Il
clean and handed his youthful rela-

Not long since we visited an old fashioned
New England farm. 1t lay on steep hill
side. The massive stone walls which divided
the fields testified to the obdurate nature of
the soil and to the steady industry of those
who worked il. 1t has been in the possession
of the same family without change Of deed
since the year lisa century and half.
And every generation had seen its
thrifty sons draw from its bosom a
bounteous store of the comforts
as well as the necesssries of life. In
every generation have the members of that
family contributed their share to church and
State, and when the demon of war. spring
ing from the gaunt loins of Free Trade,
threatened universal ruin, the owner of this
farm left his pillow in the furrow to join
hands With the young men from other
pursuits in crushing it to the dust. This
