The valuable "My Pretty Jane"

My Pretty Jane" was one Of the
most profitable songs to the publishers
ever written. Some years ago 1t
brought over $1,000, yet all that Mr..
Ftzbau, he writer Of the words, and
Sir Henry Bishop, the composer Of the
music Jointly received did not exceed
fiO Fit2ball, to be sure, declared
that It took him just ten minutes TO
write, ard Bishop thought SO little Of
his own setting that he had thrown tie
manuscript into the waste paper bas-
ket from which it was lished out by
the manager of NauXhall Gardens.
But, even so, the composer was surely
entitled to Il proportionate reward with
the publisher and it is not consOling to
recall the circumstance that Bishop
died almost a pauper.-Chambcrs

in all things. we call Il strong man.
The truth is lie is Il weak man. 1t ia
his passions that are strong. lie that
is mastered by them is weak.
You must measure the strength Of Il
man by the power Of the feelings he
subdues, not 10y the power of those
which subdue him, and hence com
posurc Is often the result OF strength
Did we never see man receive a
fragrant insult only growing n little
pale and then reply quietly? This is a
man spiritually strong.
Or did we never see man bearing a
hopeless, daily trial remain silent and
never tell the world what canlicrcd his

A matter not much thought OF In

on sugar beets. There are four sugar
factories in the state, each one owed
by the mormon church and having

the efforts of the church, (which it is
claimed is out of politics. q bill was
passed through our legislature CIV
ing a bounty of cent a pound of
