A Dilemma.

While Others praise him long and praise him
loudly,
/ will hold my voice.
Vet I. ah me. hear them proudly, proudly,
And rejoice.
l drop mine eyes lest by their shine and glisten
should be betrayed,
But looking down listen,-how listenI
Half dismayed.
On every other theme eayiy chatter,
Spirits glad and high,
But talk Of him, ah, that's another matter!
Drunk am I.
fear to speak lest it should be detected,
The love bear,
Ifear the silence lest be expected
The talk to share. ISABEL RrCHry.

LITERARY GOSSIP.

Rev. DR.. Henry van Dyke, the highly
gifted and distinguished poet, critic,
essayist and story writer is a younger
man than we supposed. He must be
the second gifted Presbyterian divine
of that name. He looks in his picture
as if not more than AZ. He began pub
fishing in 1884, when THE Reality of
Religion" came from his very artistic,
elegant pen. He has published several
religious volumes. a most delightful
critical volume on Tennyson, a volume
or two of literary essays. He has
charge of a church in New York city
and is regarded as "a foremost preach
err" He recently published a volume
of poetry called THE Builders and
Other POEMS" It contains some really
good poetry-some that nay be de-
scribed as exquisite. He published
two years ago a volume of essays,
bucolic, we suppose, that has had
much popularity and has reached a
sixth edition. Take him all around
among his Presbyterian brethren we do
not know his fellow. He has finish,
beauty, melody and fascination in his
most artistic poetical workmanship.
Walter Besant will soon publish a
owe called "a Fountain Sealed"
DR.. George Macdonald, a writer to
know, will publish also a novel with
a Biblical name-"Salted With Fire"
Fifteen years ago Miss Cameron, Of
Hillsboro, N. c., published a novel
with that name.
1t is said hat within a year manu-
scripts of the great Thackeray have
been sold in the United States aggre-
eating in amount $4,000.
Not long an American gave
s3,475 for the manuscript OF Keats's
"Endymion." We doubt if that great
poet who died SO young ever received
that sum for all he wrote.
The late Mrs. Hungerford, Irish nov
elist, known pleasantly and admiringly
as THE Duchess" was small and
blonde. 1t is said hat Marie Corelli is
Of Italian blood. but strange to a
is small and blonde also. Her novels
(not one of which we have read) are
said to be best unread. She has an
impure vein in her books.

cotton crop that will make more than

other productions, it is colossal and

taking a very active, broad movement
in behalf of popular education, and has
made rich with endowment it's state

Texas created and established on a

instructive. The president says hat
sixteen years ago Texas had three
graded schools; it now has $50; it then

900 of bonds. The recent legislature
increased the appropriations for main

fancy the mixing of the sexes. That is
too new for us. DR.. Winston is quoted
as follows:
"As the highest expression of a peo-
pies life is found in their universities,
so the southern university, resting up
on the new foundation of public schools

ideal of individual manhood with the
new ideal of universal education, will

The area of the United States is
5,025 600 square miles; with Alaska it
is 1902, 800 square miles, equal to the
area of all Europe, with Italy and Tur-
key excepted. Texas, its largest state,
is 2l2 times the size Of Rhode Island.
Texas might invite every man, woman
aud child now living in the world to set
tie within its territory, offering each
individual plat of pround 49l by 100
feet. The state would not be really
crowded, for each individual would have
four times the space taken by each per-
son in New York city. England, Ireland
Scotland Wales, Italy and Portugal
could be transplahted to Texas and there
would still be room for good-sized
