looked and saw splendid pageantry
OF beautiful women and Of lordly men
Taking their pleasure in Aowery plain
Where peoples and the red anemone
And many another leaf Of cramoisy
Flickered about their feet and gave their
stain
To heels Of iron or satin, and the grain
OF silken garments floating far and free
Az in the dance they wove themselves or
strayed
By twos together or lightly smiled aud
bowed
Or oourtsied to each other or else played
A. games Of mirth and pastime, unafraid
In their delight, and all so high and proud
They seemed scarce Of the earth whereon
they trod.
looked again and saw that fowery space
Stirring, as II alive, beneath the tread
That rested now upon an old mans head
And now upon baby's gasping face
Or. mothers bosom or the rounding grace
OF girls throat, and what had seemed tho
red
Offowers was blood In gouts and gushes shed
From hearts that broke under that frolio pace,
And now and then from out the dreadful floor
An arm or brow Yves lifted from the rest
As if to strike in madness or implore
For mercy, and anon some suffering breast
Heaved from the mass and sank, and as before
The jewellers above them thronged and
pressed.

From MOntesanO Economist:


We are informed that j. p. Carson.
who, with Mrs. Carson is visiting with
friends in Illinois, had his ears frozen
while lookin about the farm. A few
years residence in this balmy climate
causes one to become very susceptible to
the cold weather of the middle states.
In dispensing with the services OF the
deputy assessor, deputy clerk and one
deputy auditor the board of commission
ers has, doubtless wisely, effected saw
ing of about $500 per month. The action
would be commendable were it not tainted
with the suspicion OF being more for po-
lit;cal effect than for economical motives.
1t is, OF course, presumed the board acted
advisedly; that the officials named are
not necessary, if they are unnecessary
now have they not been equally SO during
the past year? No decrease of bust
ness in those Offices is reported. With
no desire to be captious, We submit that
this tardy retrenchment, in view OF the
circumstances, justifies the suspicion that
it is simply the first gun in the county
campaign OF this year. The chief obsta-
Gle to the, anticipated, success Of this
shot will be the obstinacy Of tie plain
people who will firmly decline to believe
that twelve months and $2400 were
required to III c)ver those sinicules
by the aggregate acuem Of the board.

The best that we gain from the pur.
suit of research is, Professor G. 6. Mi
not writes in The Popular Science
Monthly, our characteristic optimism
We are engaged in achieving results,
and results of the most permanent and
enduring quality. A business man may
achieve fortune, but time will dissi-
pate it. A statesman may be the savior
Of nation, but how long do nations
live? Knowledge has no country, be-
longs to no class, but is the might Of
mankind, and it is mightier for what
each Of us has done We have brought
our stones, aud they are built into the
edifice and into its grandeur. My stone
is small one It will certainly be for
gotten that it is mine; nevertheless it
will remain in place

ellis letters grow sad and discouraged,
and he gives way more and more to the
pessimistic spirit Gray is optimistic
steadily and to the end. The difference
was partly due to natural temperament,
but chiefly, I think, to the influence Of
their respective professions. The subject
material Of the literary man is familiar
human nature and familiar human sur
roundings, and his task is to express
the thoughts and dreams which these
suggest. He must compete with the
whole past, with all the genius that has
