THE CHALLENGE,

1 heard to-day upon the street,
Where beggarS sang careless song.
A note, a tone, so wOndrOuS sweet
That stood silent in the throng.
But, ali, saw not those who sang;
heard not their wild madrigal;
A thousand voices round me rang,
And sweeter still. one maiden's call
For which I'd change the fame of men.
My load unloosed like Pilgrims thrall;
l fed my hungry heart again;
saw my bOyhood home and all
And heard the blackbirdS, nesting, sing
Their tender songs of evening!
Clear, martial cali of buried hosts
How sure thy challenge passed the years
l saw like sentries at their posts
A myriad forms; the pines like spears
Shot through the after-sunset's red:
The darkening fields; the CLEAN Of panes;
The murky dust, star panoplied;
The lazy kline along the lanes;
The school house dun; the village Spire;
The home bent, dusty harvest folks;
The cornfields famed with sunset fire;
And in our tryst beneath the oaks.
We heard the blackbirds. nesting, sing
Their tender songs of EVENING"
Thus, Angel of our later days,
With ever lowering, unseen hand
Are flashed upon our blinded ways, r-
The hidden shrineS we understand.
We climb the rugged sleeps of Truth,
And falter. LO! thy helpings bring
The lesser to the larger Youth!
A note. tone, the humblest thing,
Sweeps irresstless all between.
And there the Now prays with the Then
Where once our heaven was lived unseen,
And where. like pilgrims come again,
We hear the blackbirds, nesting, sing
Their tender songs Of evening!

Advice Misapplied.

Dean Stanley once said: sin travelling
in France l usually take the third class, that
may have some talk with the laboring peo-
ple." The Bishop of Newcastle-on-Tyne has
done the same thing in the North. The Bish-
op, who Is a staunch advocate of total absti-
hence, was travelling third class incognito,
dressed in worn out clerical suit, and dur.
ing part of the journey had grimy ritman
for companion. The collier broke the ice in
this fashion: aspect you're one O. they

All Stanley'S Fault.

Not long ago mother looked overthe
shoulder of her little girl who was groaning
about difficult lesson. The book was open
at the map of Africa, and the mother exclaim-
ed:
"Why, how that map has changed since ]
was child Then it had only few towns
about the coast, and all the middle was
the map Of Africa in those days."

tears, sand it's all the fault of that dreadful

We strive to accumulate beyond our wants
and beyond the wants of our families. In
doing this we deny ourselves leisure, recrea-

Lost to Sight.

Gen. Sheridan was not tall man, though
he had commanding presence. While he
was an under officer he was one day drilling
a company, and was annoyed by the unsol-
dierly appearance of tall, round shoulder
ed Irish recruit.
Don't stand in that way" Sheridan final
ly exclaimed "You look like Chinamsn
doubled over washtub. Straighten up
form erect, chest out and chin elevated. Like
this"
Then the officer gave the man asuperb
example of the perfect soldier in parade
movement, his eyes fixed unalterably away
from earthly things.
"An' its straight ahid I'll be afther look
in all the tonne ?" asked the recruit, glanc-
ing down at his superior officer. with
twinkle in his eye.
Eyes; if you mean to be respectable SOL
dier, certainly"
The Irshman pulled himself out like q
pigeon, and stepping off to the measured
"Right p "Left !" he exclaimed, swell, good

The Parsons Su stitute.

A young clergyman had gone to supply
the vacant pulpit of church in midland
village. He was just out of the theological
seminary, and had an extremely boyish ap-
pearance.
A little before the hour the new minister
made his way almost unnoticed into the pull
pit, where he was concealed from view by the
reading desk in front of him. But an old
lady, who sat close on the right of the pull
pit in consideration of her deafness, was
much concerned to see boy in the place
of the expected clergyman. So she arose
very softly, stepped on tiptoe to the pulpit
stairs, and, reckoning with her forefnger.
whispered loudly in coaxing accents:
"Come down, my boy. You mustn't sit
there. That's the place for the minister 70

The e:d and the New Journalist.

The managing editor of large daily
newspaper, few days ago, gave a would
be contributor PERMISSION to prepare q
two-column paper on gwen topic for his
journal. The editors estimate was that
the article could ne prepared in one, or at
most two days. But the writer declined
the task, saying that it would require six
weeks labor.
The difference between the two es :
Inmates was the difference between the old
and new journalism. The contributor be
longed to the o!d time when literary COM
position was thought to be some mighty
and mysterious toll, using up the phOs
phorus of the upper regions of the soul.
In that ponderous old school of thought
it was reckoned that a mans brain would
blow up if he applied any sort of high
pressure to 1t, and If writer spent two
hours in steady composition the proper
thing was to GO 70 bed and send for a
doctor.
Fine times the newspapers would have
in getting out if the old notions prevailed
to-day!
Lighting speed Is the word alike for
writer's. compositers and pressman. The
ePSSo os CottOlo ouo tC tOi tOAS PiS
pare their matter for the modern news
paper would indeed blow 10 the brain
of the old fashioned literary and encyclo-
pedIc person. Mr.. Murat Halstead has
been writing column an hour of news
paper matter for nearly forty years: and
lis powers have not failed in the slightest.
His former editorial assistant, the late
F. B. Plimpton, wrote at the same rate.
This is the regular standard speed which
all newspaper writers aspire to reach.
Some ether American editors have reached
1t.
The local reporter whose work is in fine
print can generally prepare column in
On hour and half to two hours. Re
porters are frequently paid by the column
in tie large cities. The oae cent papers
often pay no more than So column. At
that rate the reporter earns $50 to $25 a
week and finds his own material. He
must or he could not get his living.
It Is not apparent that either the quality
of newspaper work or the health of tile
writers suffers from this electric speed.
Many newspaper editors live to be old
men, and they are the Youngest old boys
of their generation. Modern newspaper
work is not so encyclopedia as that of the
past was, but 1t Is far more readable and
contains far more of the life of the time.
