was a typical Briton. Before the last Boer war nothing could induce British officers to believe that these unkempt, frowsy farmers could fight trained troops in uniform, and that loose shirts and patched brooches might give good account of pipe-clay. The most formidable British forces ever put into the field, blocked or sur rounded in every direction by a rough colonial militia there has never been anything like it in history, It is nearly certain that the forces with which the enemy is holding us in check are far smaller than we have recently tried to believe.
 This is a situation that ought to cure us of the complaint of blind national egotism. But fear that even yet the tendency of public opinion is to be- leve that every thing would have been easy if the War office had only gone right Wellington did not make those mountains said MaSsena at Rorres Nedras. The War office did not SOW South Africa with the kopjes, which are the almost internal feature of that country.

ENGLAND'S HARD LESSON.
Observations of One of the Most
 Experienced War Observers.


 The characteristic weakness in the present campaign is the old VICIOUS evil of insular arrogance and habitual contempt of others, of which 1t seems that Englishmen will never be cured until they have received a perma- nently sobering lesson at the hands oi some European adversary. We have been demoralized by victories over colored races, forgetting that war IS like music, where bad practice is worse than none. Which of these who are attacking the War office and giving generals the benefit of all the obvious ideas of the armchair, were in favor or the government sending out more than 10000 men to South Africa SIX months ago? The Boers had to be dealt with, but they were not for that reason to be despised. l have hardly ever known an Engllshman rom South Africa who was not confident that the Boers were 'stinkin@ cow ards," and the rest of it, who would never stand up against British troops in the field.
 We had exactly the same opinion oi the American colonists, and when George III thought that few regi' ments would be enough to bring them to subjection he only showed that he

A LITERARY CURIOSITY.

Each line of the following poem is said to be a quotation from some one of the standard authors of England and America. and Is the result of la borious search among the voluminous writings of thirty-eight leading poets of the past and present, says the Min neapolis Tribune The number of each line refers to it's author below:- Why all this toll for triumps of an
 hour? Life's a short summer, mans
 flower; B By turns we catch the vital breath
 and die The cradle and the tomb, alas, so
 nigh. 5-To be is better far than not to be, 6 Though all mans life may seem
 tragedy; But light cares speak when mighty
 griefs are dumb, S-The bottom is but shallow whence
 they come. 9-Your fate is but the common fate
 of all, 10 Unmingled joys, here, to no man
 befall. Mixture to each allots his proper
 sphere, F Fortune makes folly her peculiar
 care; 1S-Custom does not often reason
 overrule, l4-And throw cruel sunshine on a
 fool; l5-Live well, how long or short per
 init, to heaven, 16-They who forgive most shall be
 most forgiven. l7-Sin may be clasped so close we
 cannot see its face ls-Vile in .crcourse where virtue has
 not place. lg-Then keep each passion down,
 however dear, 2O-Thou pendulum betwixt smile
 and tear; 21-Her sensual sneers, let faithless
 pleasure lay, 22-With craft and skill to ruin and
 betray; 23-Soar not too high to fall, but stoop
 to rise, 24 4-The masters grow of all we must
 despise, 25-Oh, then renounce that impious
 self-esteeml 26-Riches have wings and grandeur
 is dream. 27-Think not ambition wise because
 'tis brave, 2s-The paths of glory lead but to the
 grave. 29-What is ambition? Iris but glo-
 rious cheat, 3O-Only destructive to the brave and
 great. 3l-What's all the gaudy glitters ol
 crown? 32-The way of bliss lies not on beds
 of down. 33-How long we live not years but
 actions tell; 34-That men live twice who live the
 first life well. 3j-Make, then, while yet ye may,
 your God your friend, S6-When Christian worship yet not
 comprehend, 37-The trust that's given guard; and
 to yourself be just; 3s-For live we how we can, yet die
 we must.
