Illustration.

Never before has the feature of pro-
fuse illustration in newspapers and
magazines, so firmly imbedded itself in
to public favor, as it has in the last de-
cade. TO meet the demands of this en-
terpriSing day. our literature must
needs be Ornamented with an inviting
and suggestive front, which at once en-
ables us, even at the first glance, to
grasp the nature of its import. TO be
sure, illustration is as old as writing,
and it has steadily grown from mere,
crude attempt to expose an obscure
thought. or brighten a hidden fancy.
into profession, and even an art.
There are many high class artists to-
day, who seldom paint picture or
draw in color. giving their whole time
to illustration. Not only has the num-
ber increased, but the quality has i'm
proved as well, and as the quality i'm
proves, the attractivenesS increases.
Compare even the text books of to-day
with those of forty or fifty years ago,
and there is noticeable bluntneSs
about the older ones, which seems to
demand an immense amount of thought
and investigation, in order to be able to
cope with their contents. Thus we en-
bellish our pages almost lavishly, in
the endeavOrs to attract and to teach,
forgetting that an extravaganza is often
ludicrous as we'll as sufferable. VIC.

TOrmentors.

Any person who seems to have adopt
ed the function of destroying the peace
of every one. who allows himself to be
disturbed. by rancorous tongue, is
generally coward, and carefully avoids
those who are not afraid to retOrt upon
their tormentOr. Nothing is safe from
people of this class, they love to destroy
a friends faith in his friend. They
overthrow the harmless egOtism which
makes man stand fairly we'll in his own
esteem, by OtficiouSly holding the mir
rOr up to nature. They do not know
what unhappiness they have dragged
themselves through. The end of the
general tormentOr is that he becomes
the self -tormentor. 1t is impossible to
and it may be pleaded as an excuse for
tOrmenting those whose vanity is thin
skinned. One may love friend with
perfect sincerity and yet take wicked
pleasure in occasionally pricking the
most Venerable side of his character.
1t is not easy to explain the exact nature
of the enjoyment derived from con
tortioners. A person discovers that he
has power over his friend and exercises
it: contemplate practice, serious people
would say very likely. but then serious
people are generly the victimes, as my
own experience will testify The sug
gestiOn of superior intellect it their
manner, is in itself provOcatiOn; and
all unconsciously, they invite attacks
which they can neither understand nor
avoid. MINNE-PAUL CHARLIE.

THE PRISONER,

A mans skull is hfs lifelong jail.
Behind its prison bars.
From its eye windows does the soul,
Peep at the earth and stars.
But unlike iails of wood or stone
2tS prisoner ever dwellS alone.
Enough through its front doors perfumed gale
Are blown from glenS of gladneSS.
And through its back doors music strains
Roll in waves of madness.
And though he hear and heed each tone,
The prisoner still must dwell alone.
Though past the windows of the Jail
Sweet scenes of solemn SplendOr,
And through the doors float hymns of JOY
Or dirgeS deep and tender,
The prisoner hears the mirth and moan.
But in his jail he dwells alone.
no lover ever knows the soul
He loves in all its sweetness;
The fullest love. however strong.
Is marred by incOmpleteneSs;
No heart is ever fully known
The prisoner ever dwellS alone.
