Poetry and Civilization.

Macaulay's theory that, with the adj
vance of civilization, poetry must inevita.
bly, decline Is not quite true. He should
have said that 1t changes Its character, but
this Is because poetry has life for Its sub
ject matter Art Is an expression OF some
thing, and the greatest art has always CIV
en- body and shape to the genius OF par
ticular race at certain point Of It's de-
velopment To this Shakespeare and Ra-
cine are not exceptions Shakespeare was
as highly civilized man as Racine but
he did not belong to o race in whom the
social instincts are 30 strong as In the
French.
1t is the social genius which has given
Attic prose to the world, and by the great
examples of Athens and Paris we SEQ how
ayerse it Is to high color. Above all things
1t loves sobricty, and both IN prose and
verse demands simplicity and ease, graoe
and quickness of motion. Shakespeare
finds expression for the brooding imagina-
ton of his race and he takes the whole OF
life for his province. Racine, ON the other
hand, has not universal sympathies, nor
does nature with her beauties and her mys-
teries appeal to him. He is an aristocrat
In literature. His appeal IL made, not
alike to palace, market place and howell,
but to the drawing room, and to that
alone. 1t is no doubt artificial, as all lit
erary language must be, but 1t 10 artificial
In a noble sense
The free life Of man amid unconvention-
al surroundings other literatures do IN
part give us, but not the classical ntera-
ture Of France. Here the tone Is given
by the drawing ROOM Nor need we regret

Is as near as possible to the center Of civil
lization -Macmillan's Magazine.

But little more was said during that
wild drive, in which the horses galloped
nearly all tho way, standing snortlng
and distressed presently outside the
great gates, for Lady Lirriper would not
suffer them to carry her up to the door.
Will gave her his arm, and In the
semidarkness they passed up the car
riage drive, no light showing anywhere
in the irregular picturesque pile before
them. Even the one in the refectory was
now extinguished, and no answer what
ever came TO Lady Lirriper's sharp, i'm
perious ring.
"We shall rouse the servants" she
said, "but that cannot DO helped" and
she rang again.

NEW RAYS.

Will men still say the light is good
When nothing lies from 1t conoealedt
When, thrown on living flesh and blood,
It shows skeleton revealedP
We aye have loved the softened rays
Which will not let us see too much.
But wrap as in kindly haze.
The things that shrink from human touch'
We hide our skeletons away
When they have played their living part
And shut them from the light OF day
Within the twilight Of the heart.
And all the wrongs that shock and shame
Our tender feelings or our pride
The sullied honor, furnished name
In dim forgetfulness we hide.
But now We dread lest some fierce beam
More strong than our resistance prove
And make us look where only seem
Unlovely relics Of our love.
And yet II may be We were wise
To welcome each new ray of light
And face with frank, courageous eyes
What now We bury out Of sight.
TITS not. perchnnce, true self control
Nor any part OF charity
To shut tho windows Of the soul

How brighter rays which shine above
Can touch the lowest depths OF hell,
Yet touch with tender tints OF love.

In 1886 bullion was piled high in the

was very low. Home railways, which had
proved profitable investment, became the
arena Of frantic speculation. Much nom

ono road to atiluonce--the railway track.
In 1888 investors were hoodwinked BY
this story. Railway streets, with carriages
overhead and passengers beneath, were
prophesied In London At Greenwich there
was a proposal to tunnel the park and

The sharp lesson was, however, soon for

speculation throbbed worse than ever. In
September, 1886, no fewer than 40 now
lines had been registered, and the crowd,
s,rging with avarice, bought and sold
shares madly. Promoters, surveyors, on

No man was too poor to hold stock. No
man was too rich to plunge on big lots and

ANDREW CARNEGIE
Writes on the Silver Question Words OF Ad
vice to Workingmen.

New York. Sept 6.-Andrew Carnegin
writes to the American Manufacturer
and Iron World as follows:
In reply to your request that should
say a few words to worllingmen upon
the silver question, permit me to state
that the question, as far as concerns
working men and all others receiving
salaries. lies in nutshell.
First-Today they are paid in dollars
as good as gold, worth 100 cents every
where. These gold dollars being worth
nearly two silver dollars of the silver
standard countries, buy 81 worth of the
tea, coffee. etc, used by workingmen.
This is the reason that these articles are
now so cheap In gold.
Second-The present dollars paid work
ingmen, being gold dollars, buy full
gold dollars worth of any article in all
countries which are gold standard coun-
tries. Therefore, If American working
men are paid in silver. the cost of every
thing they use from silver-using coun-
tries will be nearly double. This in
Guides tea. coffee, sugar. spices, etc
Third-The cost of articles purchased
by his gold dollars from gold-using coun-
tries will also be doubled, as the silver
dollar, containing about SO cents worth
of silver, will be taken by the gold using
countries only at it's value in silver To-
day our dollars are taken at 100 cents.
The Mexican dollar buys In Brazil SO
cents worth of coffee. 1t buys in London
IS cents worth of anything; but the
American dollar today buys 200 cents
worth Of coffee In Brazil and 100 cents
worth of anything in London. No silver
advocate can dispute these facts.
II free silver coinage comes, which
Mr.. Bryan desires, the purchasing power
Of the wages of the workingman will be
thus nearly cut in half The question
nc has to consider is, Will wages under
silver nearly double? If not, he is a
loser by silver. answer, No.
Here is the fact upon that subject:
Wages in silver-using countries have not
advanced as the value of silver has
fallen. The workingmen in Mexico,

pie in the West. But | say to you that
| never met anything but intelligence
in the West, and most of that ipteli-
gence is sharp to get ahead of our
Eastern people.
"One thing that is essential is peace.
We do not want people killed in the
streets, nor do we want riot or mob.
But we do want the supreme court to
hold the power which belongs to it.
Why? Because any other course would
lead to war. We have been taught to
respect the decisions of the supreme
court and it has been to our advantage.
There is one course left to us if we
do not like the decisions of that court.
That is to do as we did with the slavery
question. Change the constitution. The
financial issue was then discussed at
length.

than the free coinage men have If

would be coming silver and gold at a
