Sterling-Its Origin:
 Once the popular name of German traders in England, whose money was of the purest quality. In the time of Richard I. money coined in the east parts of Germany became of special request in England for the purity thereof. Afterward some people in that country skilled in mint matters and alloys were sent into this realm to bring the coin to perfection, which since that time has been called sterling.
 STERLING-ITs MEANING:
 Genuine, pure, as belonging to or relating to British coinage, now chiefly applied to the lawful money of England ,where it is at pres ent illegal to stamp an article sterling that is not of the quality of their coin, nine hundred and twenty. five one-thousandths pure silver. Numerous articles are being made In this country of base metal (mostly lead) with a coating of silver on the outside and stamped sterling. The result is misleading, as it does not imply the standard required by British law or the intent of the American silver- smiths who first used the word in connection with their wares to indicate that they were nine hundred and twenty-five one-thou- sandths pure silver, or the quality of British sterling.

No fact could more completely indicate
the absence of any American standard
of literary opinion and criticism than
the non-support of any organ which at
temps to Great it. The North american
ReUielc, after long struggle TO assert
for itself such rank. died as a review
and devoted its pages to sensational es-
says. The Nation is q pale and sickly
reflection OF English sentiment which
should have been published in London.
1t has nothing TO say which had not al
ready been better said on the other side
of the ocean,
The reason we could not sustain an
American review is the absence of Am
erican matter to work upon. The rep
utation of English books is fixed on the
other side. Even American books have
no secure position until they receive the
stampe of English appreciation. Irving,
Emerson, Lowell, Longfellow and Bret
Harte had to await the English stamp.
We haven't even the stamping machine
yet among us. Nor are likely to have
until our country wakes up to the fact
that, until we take different stand to-
ward American authorship, not even our

its colonial rark, and even our Tariff

THE BEAUTIFUL REST OF GOD.

BY WILLIAM WHIPPED cAMPBELL.l
Somewhere under the great white throne,
Under the radiant, odorous zone
or Heaven's blossominR sod
Somewhere out of the mist and moan,
The mighty despair we call our own,
Is the beautiful rest OF God.
Out Of the bitter hate and strife
Out Of the madness we call life,
The hard paths all have trod
Out of the being where cares are rife,
Sleep father and mother and husband and wife,
In the beautiful rest OF God.
After the longing and last despair,
Alter the burial hymn and prayer,
After the collins clod
up in the breath of purer air,
With gladder music and flowers more fair.
In the beautiful rest Of God.
Theirs are the eyes undimmed Of tears,
Theirs are the hearts that know no fears
Where flowers of Paradise nod,
They sleep to the song of the million spheres
And like blossoms of snow fall the endless year
On the beautiful rest Of God.
