The Music Of the Soul.

written for the D!spatch)
The song of the brave and the glad and
the free
Is the music that wakes with the day:
The scream of eagle Ger mountain and
The tril of the lark far away.
The bees merry hum and the brooks
careless mirth.
AS onward it winds to the sea:
All maize up a lyric that gladdens the
The song Of the glad and the free.
But the song of the soul is the music that
dreams
In the dark. mystic realm of the night.
Where the angel of sleep lays his hand
as it seems.
On the strings of softer delight.
Till the pass;on-swept harp of the senses
is still.
And the chalce of infinite rest.
That is given to angels in Heaven to fill.
To the lips of the weary is pressed
Then the rivers OF care are all lost In
the deep
OF the untroubled ocean of peace:
And wherever the winds blows it wiis-
pers Of sleep
And the waves on the beach never
cease,
n their lullaby caught from the mer-
maids that dwell
In the Governs down under the sea.
Oh, the soul understands all these muir
murings we'll
While it dreams OF eternity!

BRITISH EDUCATION BILL.

1t would appear that contrary to pre-
dlctions the British education bill is not
likely to lnjure Mr.. Balfour's prestige
Con, pla. mt was made that it Disseminated
most strongly in favor of the established
church and at one time the plan was
nlooted Of non confornlists refusing TO
pay their rates. These constitute large
respectable ana Influential! body. and the
prospect Of such declination was hailed
with pleasu by the Liberals as promis-
Ing to give them an issue in the bill. But
It is now said to be accepted tina!
the favor shown the established church
Is compensated for by the fact that the
bill largely increases the funds available
for the expense OF secondary schooling.
and brings this schooling under the more
effective superintendent and guidance
educational authority than has ever be-
fore been the case. Hence there has been
a subsistence of feeling against the meas
,,re which has passed the House OF Com
mons and is now - the House of Lords.
and there Is little reason to think that
the political opposition Will be able to
make capital out of it.

Circuit Court was for writ Of prohibi
ton to prevent the State Board OF Can

certificates have been Issued. How then
can a grave and great court sit and hear
argument as TO whether the court at
Ril nr,ond has jurisdiction to prevent the
doing of a thing that has already beer
done?
And so 1t seems TO us very doubtful If
