Revolt Of the soul.

and shame
And see in the throngs about me men mangled.
blind and lame.
lhate to see cold winters snow bear the print
Of shoeless feet,
And the fleshless hand Of hunger pinch faces
young and sweet.
I hate to know each freezing blast blows
through q cherries howell.
Ihate to see q hoar head sweat DER pick and
spade and shovel
Yhate to think that tender flesh writhes under
lash and blow,
And babes unwanted daily born for sorrow.
shame and woe.
1hate to think that thousands toll in squalOr,

That one may rise above his kind and count
less treasure gain.
! hate that which permits these wrongs, with
hate that cannot die,

A Matter OF Business.

MIR. Bong" said the secretary OF
the Fearful Accident Insurance compa-
ny, "be sure and drop in at old Cur
mudge's as you pass this morning and
express your sympathy over the loss Of
his brother in the railroad accident yes
terday. Express mine also to him."
"But old Curmudge had no brother
In the accident" said the canvasser.
"What has that to do with it?" said
the secretary cheerily. "All he can do
is to tell you So"
"But it might unnecessarily alarm
him." persisted the canvasser.
"That's the point; that's exactly the
point" returned the secretary cheerily.
ALARM him as much as possible. His
own policy runs out next month, and it
Is one of our duties to remind our pa
irons that in the midst of life we are
surrounded by accidents. - London

How to Know a Caxton.

Title pages were unknown till after
1491. There must be no Roman or Italic
lettering, but all in Gothic or old Eng
lish. There must be no commas, but an
oblique stroke in their place. Further,
there must be no catchwords at the
bottom of the page. The use of these.
long gone ont of fashion, did not come
into vogue till years after Cations death.
There are other tests necessary, such
as the measurement of the lines, for
some of the type used was initiated pref
ty closely by Cations successors. 1t is
clear, however, that during his career
Caxton only used six kinds Of type. The
first, distinctly foreign in its character,
was used by him at Bruges in the print
ing of "The Recuyell of the Histories of
Troye" and in the first edition of 1.-The
Game and Playe Of the Cheese" This
stvle was never used in England The
second style, such as in 1.-The Moral
Proverbs" and "Tulle Of Ode Age"
printed in 1477 and 1881 respectively,
was beautiful and artistic. 1t follows a
design of manuscript which obtained the
name of Gros Batarde, common in use
in the fifteenth century. Several books
were written in this manner under the
order of Edward " and are now to BE-
seen in the British museum.
Looking at the dates when Cations
books were issued and the types he used,
it is evident he did not make new type
till the old was worn out. A pretentious
style came next in 14S3 very bold in its
character. 1t is problematical whether
there is book in this type; the only Ak.
amples we have of it at present are In
headlines. chambers Journal

Deeds, Not Words.

Prune thou thine words: the thoughts cvntro,
That DER thee swell and throng;
They will condemn within thy soul
And change to purpose strong.
But he who lets his feelings run
In soft luxurious flow
Shrinks when hard service must be done
And faints at every woe.
Faiths meanest deed more favor bears
Where hearts and wills are weighed
Than brightest transports, CHOICEST prayers,
That bloom their hour and fade.
