AMERICA AND ENGLAND.
A Writer Contrasts the Two People
Generously.

From the Fortnightly Review.
The unadulterated strain of English blood
in America and certain other small sections OF
charming and cultivated people not English
still possess this steadiness and poise which I
have elsewhere called moral inertia and are
quite free from the vulgar bounce" and
boasfulness. But these are no longer the
dominant classes in American life. Democratic
institutions have tended to their disfranchise-
ment. The remnant possessing a refined
tradition of manners and of culture and en-
lowed hereditarily with the love Of what
soever things are noble and of good report
comparatively speaking, is very small Not
unlike the class of the Faubourg st. German
in Paris, it lives in as unobtrusive an alien
alton as possible in the midst of a
vast number OF good natured and COM
monplace vulgarians. Its function is
the tending of the vestal fires. It is
an aristocracy beyond question more exclu-
siye than the aristocracy OF England. Levltes
OF the arena OF the best in American life, their
own self-preservation almost demands their
isolation. Their condition is pathetic. were it
not so envlabie, in the distinctions attaching to
their sacred obligation Of preserving the ma
| tional records and keeping the fires alight. At
times they half believe they prefer the stink
Ing breath and the 'sweaty nightcap" Of the
rampant democracy fast developing in England
to the exasperating habit of gaucherie mani
! tested in every gesture by people given only to
pennies. psalms or platitudes. For. though the
gap between the higher and the lower in
England is yearly narrowing, still there is a
pleasant Difference and that habit Of respect
which leads to ease of living there.
| In America the presumptuous familiarity of
| manner, born usually of the very kindest and
| most unselfish feelings, is extremely odious,
and none the less so for the merit of its origin.
American bonhomme seems to be an endeavor
| to be one thing to all men. This is not at all
the same thing as being all things to all men.
| The Pauline diplomacy is an ideal that neither
| England nor America has reached. The self
] conferred indifference of Englshmen is as
unfavorable to this ideal as the hearty abando n
! of lndiscriminate intimacy that marks the
American type. The Christian conception of
| the fellowship of mankind and love Of one 8
| neighbor has become far ripper in America than
| i'll England, and it is usually more genuine
when 1t exists. But there is very little of the
| actual spirit of Christianity in either country.
| There, as here Jesus. whom haters of the
Jews with perverse thoughtIessness. still pre-
| fer to call Christ, is the most discussed but the
| least understood person in history. In America
people are often wooed to churches where they
| are told nine times what Paul said to once what
Jesus said. and their attendance is won by
/ theatrical devices which in England would be
] thought very bad taste indeed.

One day, on the way from Conway to Bettwv-y-
Coed. they stopped for dinner at . pretty
country inn. leaving the donkeys fastened
under the trees. When they came out there
sat the ragman's donkey upon the luggage
using il as a cushion. with q most quizzical
look on his droll face. He had screwed aud
twisted until the pack had slipped down his
back, and then he quietly sat down upon it,

The impress which the story left strongest.
however, was not the donkey's adventures.
but the delight of the morning hours at the
old ruin Of Conway castle: the exquisite en-
joyment Of the by-paths through those quiet
valleys under the shadow OF the dark, restful
Welsh mountains; the night at the cou1try
inn-no hurry. no pressure and but email
expense, with the option Of the railway when
ever the trip grew tedious. Are not these
pleasures worthy Of importation to this side OF
the water?

CONTENTMENT.
Prince Bismarck Says It Cannot and
Should Not Be.


letter from Hamburg to the London Tele
graph, June 8, says: As at q leisurely pace we
were strolling down hill by another tortuous
woodland path, the labor question cropped mp,
apropos OF the recent miners congress in Bel
GUM. After frankly recognizing and praising
the moderation Of Mr.. Burns address to the
delegates, Prince Bismarck abruptly broke out
with: TELL me, did you ever know . banker

fist, politician artist lawyer, satisfied with his
gains and position? will go fur Their and ask
you, have you ever known a contented man?

shilling or two per diem for her chldren's

amazingly their life conditions have been
ameliorated during the past fifty years. Have
they ever achieved contentment for one single
day?
Let what real grievances they still have right
themselves by natural processes as they will
gradually and in due time. Above all. let them
continue to improve their position without
state interference, which can only do them
more harm than good, besides infiicting ire

quite as worthy OF consideration as artisans.

tate to a laborer how many hours he shall or
shall not work, and to usurp his rightful au-
thority over his children in respect to bread
earning occupations To make workmen con-
tented by legal regulations is mere exag-
geration of the fancy-s phantom, evading the

Look Upward.


Look Upward.
Look upward. o. comrades, whate er Is life SEEM
ing,
Let Hope soar on high as you toll In the race;
The top of the mountain refulgent is cleaning
While dark are the shadows that sleep at its
base.
Look upward, o, brave hearts, to conquer be
willing;
On high plant your colors, and meier let them
trail;
The understanding strains of the skylark are
trilling
While mute is the robin far down in the vale.
Look upward, o, toilers, in ways dark and
dreary,
For firm is the rock tho unstable the sand;
Dim glowwOrms bewilder the wanderers weary,
But lights on the cliffs guide the sailors to
land.
High hung in the @ther the stars shine divnely
When sinks the bright sun In the golden hu ed
vest
Beyond earthly shadows fair Hope smiles be-
nignly,
And beckons US on to the land of the best
