When two antagOnistic natures set sail in
the same boat, and one wants to sail and
the other wishes to row, there is great

reward, and the two pull together in a

George I1liot's Slow Walks.

OF our own day George Eliot and Mr.
Lewcs, miserable invalids though they
We're, made no mean showing as foot peo-
pie. George Elot's letters and diaries
show that scarcely a day was without its
walk. One day the pair, in company with
Mir. Herbert Spencer, were five hours on
foot, But no gypsy tramps and romantic
adventures were in that united history.
Their walks, too, were never counted by
miles, but by the time spent on them out
of doors.
Those slow walks We're as eminently re-
spectacle as the pursuit of queer insects
and strange fish and fleeing health could
possibly be- rs decorous as George Eliot 5

he could catch the fresh air. In yellow

THE PRACTICAL POLITICIAN.

BY the ordinary citizen of the educated
class he practical politician is thought to
lp Il man who. though sometimes nelhaps
having gucd intentions, is nevertheless led
by selfish motives, in the main, to do sell
fish. corrupt and dishonest deeds. In his
own eyes the practical politician of the
higher grade is n patriotic citizen working
for the good Of party upon the success of
which depends the welfare Of the country.
lie feels in many cases that he is driven to
acts which to him are unpleasant; which
are perhaps on the whole unfortunate for
the country, but which, under the circum
stances are still n stern necessity. 70 be
sure, among the workers" will be found
many who care neither for country nor
party, nor even for leader, though that is
rare: hut in the higher ranks the proper
ton of the consciously dishonest, although
possibly larger than that of the same class
among merchants or lawyers is still small.
/ Most of our otliceholdtr5 in I he higher
/ legislative and executive positions are Mt
bottom as honest, hardworkng and self
sacrificing Us men of other classes. The
] Submerged tcnthN have dragged the repu-
/ tations OF their fellow politicians lower
/ than truth would permit us t o declare their
| characters to be. These differences of
! opinion with reference to the character OF
/ the practical politician come largely from
/ lack of knowledge on the part of he public
( as to the circumstances in which the poll
/ tcian is placed and as to the pressure hat
| is brought to bear upon hiln as well as
| fror ignorance Of the amount of excellent
self sacrificing worl, that he really does.

/ they are know what ought to he done and
demand that action be taken the politician

in fact, and in justice, too, in the main is
not to guide public opinion. but to follow

lie opinion, hUt that duty il equally i'll
cumbcnt upon lawyers, preachers, teachers
ana all good and intelligent citizens. We
need to distinguish III this regard the re
former, and cYen the statesman, from the
politician. 1t is the business of the poll
tician, and the business is a worthy one, TO
care for the interests OF his party, and
Thereby, as it appears to him. for the in
terCsts Of the state, and his party interest ;
4 cannot be cared for unless he follows pun-
lie opinion. To the politician also the
public means not merely the educated or
the good citizens, but all citizens who have
votes. If then we expect the politician to
change his methods of action, we must in
some way bring it about hat by the change

power than will be lost.

great intellect is perhaps the saddest," says
an English correspondent, writing of Ten
nyson's decay just before his death. ut may
be accepted that the hour of intellectual
labor is over for Lord Tennyson. 1t is now
his turn to lie still and be taken care of
like child. When the sun shines he is
carried out and laid in bright spot upon
a carpet, developed in rugs and shawls.
Here he sleeps and reads The object of
all his interest is the heir, his baby grand
son. Where this small great parsonage is
concerned nothing can be done without
consulting him. He must inspect and
choose feeding bottles and hoods, and SUI

nal cares. Lord Tennyson, in fact, seems
to have reached time of life when it is a
