HYMNS ARE POORLY WRITTEN
Good Poets Have Not Composed Re
IInIous Songs We Sing, Says
EnslIshman.

It is q melancholy thing to read an
English hymn book Doubtless for
most Of us sacred associations gather
around the hymns we sing, 80 that we
abandon ourselves to the feelings
called up by these associations, and
do not notice what we are singing,
writes Prof w. H. d. Rouse in the
English Review. Yet il in a critical
mood we examine them we cannot but
be overcome with melancholy.
They are. no well meant and 80 badly
expressed, so pions and 90 ridiculous.
They are sentimental when they
SHOULD be impassioned, groVeling in
stead of penitent. incoherent when
they ought to be simple.
II is not true that greattpoets are
lrreligious; on the contrary, their
glory 1t is to see q soul Of goodness
In things evil, and this is the essence
Of religion. Yet our hymns are obvi-
ously not written by poets. There 10
surely no reason why religion and Tilt
eracy should, be unequally yoked. to-
gether, and 1t were betterNto sing no
hymns at all than to sing trash.

ERROR EASILY TO Be SEEN
Miner Went at Once to the Root Of
the Trouble, as He Had It
Sized Up.

A miner, who was proud Of his boys
attainments at school, one evening
picked up a home lesson book and
read from it a quotation which ran
like this: Some books should be tast-
ed, some swallowed, and some chewed
and digested. Bacon" Turning TO
his boy. he said:
What's this, sonnie? Thou doesn't
eat books at school, does tina? know
you are very clever, but you cannet do
those nanny-goat tricks, I'm sure Ill
warrant that'll be one Of those print
er's errors, sonnie."

aphorically speaking, we eat books.

What lie Taste.

On the whole, it appears to me that
what is called taste, in its most gem
eral acceptation, Ia not simple idea,
but 10 partly made up OF perception
Of the primary pleasure Of the imagi-
nation, and Of the conclusions of the
reasoning faculty, concerning the va
rious relations of these, and concern
ing the human passions, manners and
actions. All this Is requisite to form
taste, and the ground work of all
these Is the same in the human mind;
for as the senses are great originals
OF all our ideas, and consequently of
all our pleasures, II they are not I'm.
certain and arbitrary, the whole
groundwork of taste is common to all.
and therefore there is , sufficient rea-
soning on these Matters Edmund

Took thn rrIek.

A conversation relating to the face
value Of cards the other evening
caused Senator Bradley, of Kentucky
to become reminiscent.
He was reminded, he said, Of a man
from the mountain zone Of his state,
who once bought a jug of whisky, and
not wanting to carry It around with
him, decided to leave II at the corner
grocery until he should be ready to 90
home.
In order that the jug might be
properly identified, the man took a
deck of cards from his pocket, ex.
tracted the six Of spades, wrote his
name upon 1t, and attached 1t to the
handle Of the jug. This done, he
happily rambled forth, leaving the jug
on the end of the counter.
Two hours later the mountaineeH
returned, and great was his conster-
nation, as well as eloquence, to flnd
that his jug Of electrified spirits had
faded away.
Look here. Jim" he agitatedly
cried to the proprietor Of the store
