IAN OLD-TIME ROMANCE.

Right here in this venerable oak trees shade,
My grandmother's mother sat one day.
In solemn state and In stiff brocade,
Awaiting her lover, a knight, they say.
Down yonder hillside with flashing spur
He came like vision DER field and fen,
In his satin breeches and gold laced coat
And queer old dresser he must have been.
/ do not think could have fancied him so,
In his wedding plumes and his bonnet gay
And Mistress Lucy If she could know,
Would smile In disdain at my choice to-day.
By his side DER the stairway her picture hangs
A dainty lady, so proud and prim
That more than half Of my Maynard blood
1t is very plain must have come from him.
Here Is a letter century old;
For true knighty sentiment very well,
And dashing hand, but 1t must be told
That my charming great-grandpapa could not
spell;
"Honered madam and deer though mine eyes
bereft
May not dwell on thy form and face so fair,
Still the promise Of hops to my poor heart Is left
And at dawning Of eve aspire TO be there"
1 should like to know II at eve he came
Why. OF course he did, for am ! not here'
Proudly bearing his ancient name
With wicked laugh at his spell Of dear"
And II on that sofa they sat asunder
Fully two feet, as was proper and right,
Could he ever manage to give her, wonder,
Half such kiss as had last night
All Lucy, though minuet and spinet,
And courty manners In grand array,
Tell on. old story, there's something In II
That reaches the heart Just the same to-day,
And wonder when my little day Is over,
And my grandchildren Hit meath this old
trees shade
II they'll say; She had just such noble lover
And AZ true and tender a wife she made.

even the simpler question of politics
The dangers attending that variety
which is heterogenity in so vast an
organism as ours are, of course, the
dangers of disintegration-n nothing less;
and it is unwise to think these dangers
remote and merely contingent because
they are not as yet pressing. We are
conscious of oneness as nation, Of
vitality, of strength, of progress but
are we often conscious of common
thought in the concrete things Of Ma
tional policy? Does not our Legislation
wear the features of IA vast conglomer

leadership? Are we not, rather, dimy
conscious of being pulled in a score OF

DESULTORY READING.
Most o-Called Reading Courses are Pretty
Nearly Pure Idiocy.

Most So-Called Rea ding Courses re Pretty
Nearly Pure Idiocy.
Mr.. Balfour has recently stepped aside
from political ways to deliver an address
at the openingof new library. in which
he won the approval of all true book
lovers by saying good word for what is
among the self-elect known by the con-
remptuous term of 'desultory reading
1t is the solemn conviction Of the Grad
grinds of tho world that 9. ere is no read
ing which is of any advantage to man
unless it is arranged in courses and de-
voted to some specific end; while equally
the true book lover, the man who is born
with the literary instinct and convic-
ton, knows beyond psradventure that
this reading which has been stigmattsed
as desuitory IA the most valuable of all,
and that II is only by the good which Is
won by following 1t through tho wind
ing ways in which 1t leads as through
labyrinth that one is able to get from
formal reading any benefit whatever.
Tho first principle of rea1ing should
be that one is profoundly interested
therein. 1t is worse than useless to force
ones self, or to force others, to go over
itself hold the reader 1t may be neces-
sary now and then to go through course
Of reading upon a special subject as one
does any other mechanical task, but he
labors under a complete misunderstand-
ing who supposcs that by so doing no Is
increasing his intellectual culture. He
may for moment increase the unassim-
Hated facts in his mind, but this Is al.
ways hinderance to mental progress
rather than help.
The genuine love OF books is perhaps
thing which one must be born with tc
enjoy 1t In its fullness, and it can, after
all be largely cultivated. At least,
there are few people who can not inter
est themselves in some sort OF reading
II they are but placed In a position to
reach the books which are adapted to
their minds, and--what Is quite rs i'm.
portant-~to their Compartments. What
IL known as desultory reading Is, after
all, II one only examines the matter
little closely, reading what Is adapted TO
the condition OF tbs mind at the mo-
ment. 1t Is taking the mental food
which one can digest, instead OF dieting
Nttt Iliiiu uppil lnulEtSblbit
which have some time and somewhere
been supposed TO be good for minds OF q
different sort in q different condition.
Most reading courses are pretty nearly
pure idioey; a stringing together OF good
books into perfectly arbitrary and un.
wholesome composition. One might as
well weigh out the food TO be eaten
meal by meal for year TO come. The
appetite has moro TO do with it than
theories, and Ia a better guide unless II
has been most fouly dealt with.
The way to read is TO read, and IL a
person turned into library can not bet
ter find out what TO read than anybody
can tell HIN, he is either too young tc
be trusted alone anywhere or mentally
diseased. The mind is It's own gauge
and II 1t does not work well 1t Ia VERY
seldom that any outside expedient car
be made 10 serve instead, If the at
tempt be made IL results In something
which Is not culture. at least. Bostor

RAILROADS IN CHINA.
The Growth OF Modern Improvements
tn. Celestial Empire.

The Growth OF Modern improvements In
the Celestial Empire.
The news from Picking Is that tho Em.
peror OF China has issued an edict which
authorizes tho building OF tho projected
railroad between peklng and ilankow.
A previous edict OF recent date had given
authority for tho construction ofanothoi
line. and there are number Of Other
railroad projects that are now awaiting
the imperial sanction. II is reported
that the woll-known promoter, Chang
Chi Tung, will carry out tho Picking,
iankow scheme, and that the Marquis
Tseng has boon appointed General hi
rector Of all railroads in China.
These edlcts indicate the triumph OF
Viceroy Iii and the other progressive
leaders who, amid many discourage
ments, have striyen TO establish n policy
by which the Chinese empire may he
provided with comprehensive railroad
system, against the protests and coniura
tons OF the censors and astrologors.
These powerful persons have carried on
u desperate struggle against this policy,
on tho ground that its adopt'o on would
mark tho beginning Of an era in which
the ancient institutions and customs of
China must be wholly destroyed. II was
reported from Picking last January that
tho conservative loader, the uncle of
tho young Emperor Kwang llsu, had
obtained full control of the whole bust
ness, and the imperial action at that
time appeared TO give confirmation to
this report. But the recent reversal OF
that action shows that by some means
the great Nieeroy Iii has regained his
former ascpndancy in tho palace. lie
has maintained for many years that the
establishment OK railway system is
necessary TO tho development OF Chinese
resources and tho Advancement OF Chi.

won over tho ecnSors and astrologers
gives evidence that practica, statesman

Not long ago III oyercamo tho con-
sentative opposition TO the introduction
OF the telegral h system, which il now
growing so rapidly that many thousands
Of miles IF wire are already radiating
through tho Chinese empire. The evils
which, as the astrologcrs pred :ted. wore

have not been realized, and the ad-
yantages II has conferred are palpable
even to the official misd
The aged Niceroy III has always pre-.
dieted the success OF his railroad policy,
and he has freely given his opinion that
IT would bring about an industrial trans.

ress Of China in the use OF machinery
and In the adoption of modern methods
OF manufacturing has added largely 10
the previous productive force OF the 500,
