Mr.. Lewis Morris can claim to
be widely representative, to have re-
fected the current thought Of his age,
as Byron or Wordsworth, as Shelley
or Tennyson have done, That IS de
MED him. But one phase of thought
he has represented, and represented
with honor, He was born into an age
of scepticism, when the air was full of
theories of Evolution and troubled
with the clouds of Positivism, and he
raised his voice against a philosophy
which tends to blind it's followers to
the one ideal light of the world, In the
midst of a dark world, Mr. Lewis
Morris raises the lamp of religion.
1.-The Wanderer," one of the best Of
his poems, The New Greed, Even
song, " Confession, and innumerable
shorter verses, all breathe the spirit of
resignation to a will highertban mans,
and a knowledge above the learning of
the ages. His voice is not Of science
rebuking science, not always OF higher
knowledge silencing lower, nor can he
always give us a sound reason for the
faith that is in him. But a the poet
of the religion of our fathers, protest
ing against the attacks launched on
the old hopes and creeds blythe younger
sons of the household, he has spoken,
and spoken not in vain. For, above
all things, he is full of that sincerity
which Carlyle considered indispensable
to true greatness. The very determi-
nation with which he forces his thought
upon us, is only another phase of his
own belief in the truth of the gospel he
comes to preach. And much may
surely be forgiven the man who is
genuinely sincere.
There arethOse whose learning is not
deep, who find their faith lettering
they know not why-when they hear
of new creeds and fresh PHILOSOPHERS
who do not seek arguments so much
as assurances, O proofs so much as
exhOrtations. These are the readers,
in themselves no incOnsiderable num-
Der, who will rise strengthened by the
poems of MI. Lewis Morris. Readers
will not leave his poems endowed with
new knowledge and new wisdom, nor
enriched with any undiscovered wealth
of poetic thought; but many that have
read him will feel a fresh comfort and
consolation which they will not scOrn
to acknowledge, and for which. in the
secrecy of their hearts, they will con
feSs themselves thankful.

TONE OF MARKET MARCH 10TH

Common flour is very much higher,
as you, of course, have doubtless
noticed from the advance in the grain
market. The advance in corn has
also caused a sharp advance in corn
syrups, and sugar syrups have ad-
vanced in a corresponding ratio. The
advance in corn has also caused sharp
advance in lard and meats of all kinds.
Soda is also higher. Sugar is lower
owing to the desire of holders to reduce
their stock to a minimum by April list,
when the new prices will go into effect.
Starch, owing to competition, is about
&c. lower. Roasted coffee has advanced
about n cent pound during the past
month, and green coffee has advanced
even more than this during the past
six weeks, and while present prices are
very high, we e no prospect of n
material decline before the summer. as
the new crop does not begin to arrive
until July 1st.
Yours truly,
