EnsIand's Bright Journalist.

Mr.. Lang writes leaders for The Daily
News: yet he goes and comes as he pleases,
and his duties as journalist are not suffered
to interfere with his other literary work, his
lectures, etc. A share c. his time is spent in
Marlborough. 1t is said that when he reports
at The News Office he asks if any particular
topic requires treatment at his hands; he is
so thoroughly informed and SO facile that,
assigned a theme for editorial treatment, he
will sit down in all the noise and confusion of
the editorial room and reel off a delightful
essay, full of learning, OF wit, of allusion and
of quotation; this, too, without referring to
any book from which it may be desirable to
take extracts, or to which it may be desirable
to turn. In fact, Lang is looked upon by his
journalistic associates as a cyclopedia of
learning, fountain of wit and a master of
ali that is charming in style.-Eugene Fields

Weak Hearts Worse Than Weak Heads.

A weak heart seems TO be decidedly more
practically inconvenient than weak head.
If man or a woman be a little feeble about
the region of the brain, it is generally of lit
tie moment. Some post or other. will be pro-
vided if the conduct be respectable; and lack
of brains is too common to excite any partic-
ular attention in the person concerned or in
those about him. But weak heart insists
upon putting itself in evidence in ell sorts OF
convenient and inconvenient times. IF its pos
SCISSOR finds himself rather late for his morn
ing train and maks 'spurt" to recover lost
time, the exertion Is usually followed by such
bad quarter Of an hour" that he resolves
in future rather to lose dozen trains than TO
risk temporary suffocation or permanent
syncope again.-American Analyst.
