GLADSTONE'S FIRST
HOME:RULE Speech

In the peroration of his speech on
introducing the first home rule bill
Gladstone said:
1--WE are sensible, we have taken
an important decision; our choice has
been made. 1t has not been made
without thought; it has been made in
the full knowledge that trial and
difficulty may confront our path
There are difficulties, but rely upon
the patriotism and sagacity of this
house; l rely on the effects of free
and full discussion; and l rely more
than all upon the just and generous
sentiments of the two British nations.
Looking forward, ! ask the House to
assist us in the work which we have
undertaken, and to believe that no
trivial motive can have driven up to
it, to assist us in this work which we
believe will restore Parliament to its
dignity an dlegislation to its free and
unimpeded course.
Il ask you to say that waste of
public treasure which is involved in
the present system of government
and legislation in Ireland, and which
is not waste only, but which democrat
ICES while 1t exhausts. | ask you to
show to Europe and America that we
too, can face political problems which
America twenty years ago faced and
which many countries in Europe have
been called upon to face and have
not feared to deal with. ask that in
our own case we should practice with
firm and fearless hand what we have
so often preached, the doctrine which
we have so often inculcated upon
others-namely, that the concession
of local self-government is not the
way to sap or impair, but the way to
strengthen and consolidate unity.
81 ask that we should learn to rely
less upon merely written stipulations,
ohd bhOSC bCttcI
lations which are written on the heart
and mind of man. ask that we
should apply to Ireland that happy
experience which we have gained in
England and Scotland, where the
course of generations has now taught
us, not as a dream. not as theory.
but as practice and as life, that the
best and surest foundation we can
find to build upon is the foundation
afforded by the affections, the con-
victions and the will Of the nation /;
and 1t is thus, by the decree OF the
Almighty, that we may be enabled
to secure at once the social peace
the fame, the power and the perman
ence Of the empire"

Bacon AND GREENS.

PostJ
The sweet songs of springtime are
merrily ringing
Out on the soft breezes with must
cal swell;
The amateur poets are everywhere
singing
In lines that sometimes rhyme re-
markedly well.
They sing of the birds that inhabit
the bowers,
The brooks that are babbling mid
fair rural scenes,
The grass-covered meadows, the trees
and the flowers,
But never a MARBLE of bacon and
greens.
Oh! that was the dish that our fore
fathers relisheo
When called in at MONDAY from
field of their work
A big dish of greens with it's bosom
embellished
With generous slices of country
cured pork.
Their lips would smack in extreme
satisfaction,
Unloose the top button that served
on their jeans
To give them more room when they
got the right action
Upon the loved layout of bacon and
greens.
The women their faded sunbonnets
would tie on
And seek for the treasure in lane
and in wood,
The tender young mustard, the sweet
dandelion,
And other green things that they
knew to be good,
From out of the great pot they the
fruit Of their labors -
Would stack for the feast in the
waiting tureens,
The fragrance borne forth telling all
Of the neighbors
The tale of the dinner of bacon and
greens.

Man race which inhabits the southern
most province of Chile. 1t consists of
the castoff shell of crab. The dead
shell is white in fair, dry weather, but

A STORY OF MISSIONER.
The Painters Two Breakfasts With a
Stinqy Art Patron.


stinsy Art Patron.
Meissonier once got acquainted with
Partisan grandee, very wealthy, very
fond of posing as an art patron, but
slightly penurious. One day Meisso-
nier, breakfasting with tie grandee,
was struck by the beauty OF the tex
ture of the tablecloth. Zone could
draw upon it." he remarked, and, suit
ing the action to the word. he produced
a pencil and made on the smooth,
snowy nap wonderfully able sketch
of a mans head. The particular table
cloth in question never went to the
wash. The Economical SWELL had
the head carefully cut out of the dam
ask and FASTENED to frame and glaze
his prize. A few weeks afterward
Meissonier again breakfasted with his
patron and found by the side of his
plate at the corner of the table assign
ed to him a neat little sheaf of crayons
and holders, with penknife and some
india rubber.
While the guests, at the conclusion
of the repast, were enjoying their cof-
fee and cigarettes the host saw with
delight "from the corner of his eye
that Messonier was hard at work on
the tablecloth, this time with SUI
perb little full length of a medieval
halberdier. The party broke up, the
guests departed, and the economical
swell'' rushed back to the dining room
to secure his treasure. But, alas, the
painter had for once shown himself
as economical as his patron! He hat
made disastrously good use Of the pen
knife, and one corner Of the tableclotl
| was gone, halberdier and all!
