THE DEAD DAY.

The argent and imperial day.
For an his wealth was made 10 yield.
He passed his gate OF palms and lay
Far out upon his battered shield:
Law calm and kIng-like, with red garments rolled
In blood, and cleaning Establishments OF gold.
Then queenly night came down and swathed
The King in somber yestments new.
She bowed her face above ana bathed
His eyes in darkness and ia dew,
And closed and kissed them softly as she slid
Aside the dead kings siIyered coffin lid.
Some star-tipt candles foot and head:
Sweet perfumes OF the perfumed sea,
And then above her COINED dead
She drew great curtains lovingly;
And as she hooked them on the bent moons horn,
Embossed her hail. ard mourned and incurred

1890 shows in the United States and
Canada 1890 periodicals, with circu-
lation of Al 4 millions. OF these 1850
are weeklies, 1000 are monthlies and
1,536 dailies, with circulation of $780,
600. The yearly issue of all periodicals
is about $500 millions, or an average of
267 periodicals per year to every five per-
sons or five per week to every family.
In 1883 there were 456 Sunday papers;
in 1890, $50; of these, 294 are not printed
on Sunday, and not always sold on Sun
day. OF the remainder, Isl are issued
seven days week, and all but 20 Of
these are morning papers. Two hum
dred and five dailies come out on Sun
day, but not on Monday. Only 356 Of
the 1862 dailies issue Sunday editions.
Seven newspapers have circulation of
over 100000 per day; six. of these have
Sunday editions. Of course it is the
Sunday editions that mostly affect to
print what might be called literature.
While much of this is rubbish, much of
it is also of superior excellence.-The

Books or Newspapers.

We have listened these many years to
debates and essays upon the relative
merits of the pen and the sword. These
attempts at advocacy, while rarely per-
hitting of doubt as to the sincerity of
the proponents, have not so successfully
barred the way for doubt as to their wis
dom. The pen, however, appears to
have won the day, and the discussion
been turned on the question, Which is
most important-th press or the pull
pit? Again the tool that allows man
to commit his thoughts to paper and
duplicate the copies which may be
brought to the attention of others.
seems to have carried the position, and
the press, cOnquering all opponents.
must needs divide itself in order that
the fiction, so essential to mental. as
well as commercial activity, and which
competition or emulation alone can
give, may be brought into the wholly
untrammeled and free play necessary to
the development of its most beneficial
features. This division has resulted in
the growth of a mighty struggle whose
outcome will determine the relative mer-
1t and dement, OF the newspaper and the
book, those primary divisions of the
product OF the printing press, as affect
ing the progress, of modern peoples in
the arts of civilization. Commenting
upon this subject, the Bookseller makes
the following remarks and quotes the
following figures:
1.-The newspaper syndicateS of the
United States distribute a vast amount
of high-class literary material to the
newspapers throughout the country, and
the man who never reads anything but
the newspaper can now enjoy the pro-
auctions of many of the best writer's in
his favorite organ. In addition to what
the newspaper steals or buys direct from
the author, the total result makes toll
erably good showing of contemporary
literature. 1t is only when we look at
the statistics of newspaper circulation
that it is possible to realize the tremen-
dOus rivalry of the newspaper and the
book. ROwelrs Press Directory for

INITIAL STUDIES IN AMERICAN LITER
AZURE.
{ Report for Glass b by r. NJ

have taken for my subject Thomas Paine
the author of The Age of Reason" l do this
because he seems to me to be the one writer of
revolutionary times whose writings attracted
the attention of the whole people. and compelled
them to think seriously upon vital subjects.
While Mr.. Paine stood out cOnspicuOuSly as a
free thinker of the most pronounced type. and
rallied at the Bible still he must be considered as
one of the men whose infuence-tirst, last and
always-was welded against tyranny, ever seek
ing to elevate the thinking power of mankind.
Certain it is, that he furnished. during the period
of his pamphlet writing in America more food
for thought than any other writer of that time.
His pamphlets were eagerly sought for and read
by all classes of society. Their aim was to
arouse the people to sense of their rights as
men; to think for themselves, and not be led by
the nose by narrOw-mnded bigOts.
| do not wish to be understood as champOning
Mr.. Paine's cause against those who differ from
his views. l simply stand here to try to tell you
what Tom Paine did to benefit his fellow
men. and not to demonstrate that his views on
religion were right wrong There can be no
two views taken of his sincerity in writing what
he felt; his writings are picture of his mind,
staunch and true. Martin Luther by his trans
latiOn of the Bible. educated men to think for
themselves. Thomas Paine with his diametric-
ally opposite writings did exactly the same
thing. Both their aims were to lift mankind out
of the narrow rut into which it had fallen, and
IN which their minds grew narrow, selfish, and
dwarfed. 1t would seem that when mems
minds get to travelling in too narrow and one
sided course nature takes the matter in hand
and produces mind so violently opposite to
this course as to force mems minds to take
broader channel. Thomas Paine may have done
Christianity great harm by writing The Age of
Reason" but he also did America and humanity
much needed service in arOusing the people to
higher estimate of their manhood. For this
If for no other reason, we should be proud to
pay tribute to his memory
