Even Chinaâ€"though but im- perfectly civilized, manages the govern- ment of 360 millions of mankind with with about sixty millions of revenue,â€"' that is, about 33. 4d. per head, per an- num,â€"â€"but we, with our superior enlight- ment, contrive to extract from the poo- kets of the people no less a. sum than £2 5s. per head, for precisely the same work.” “ The revenue of Great Britain is the largest in the known world, yet, with all our wealth, a smaller proportion of it is spent upon the government itself than in other European States, as the follow- ing comparison of revenue appropria- tions will clearly prove ;â€"- ' tionzil finance, a y y * 11mm faiths: expose the monstro'" il’of,the system that lives by the slaughter of mankind. The first table shows how much. is spent upon blood-shedding, how much on debt, and how much on the people and the government. I drew it up a fe ears ago with much care, and though some recent changes have slightly altered a few of the proportions, it may be relied on as substantially correct.

Young men who talk in that way do not care to hear it _ from the lips they love. And really slang does not save time in the use of language, as an abbreviation. No is shorter and more decided than ‘-‘ Not much}? And I am sure, yes! is quite as easily said as “I’ll bet,” More than one promising wedding has been indefinitely postponed by such means; for however remiss young men maybe of themselves, they want a better thing in girls of their choice, and it does not help them to mend a habit to adopt it too. i Girls don’t talk slang.

Their audiences are different, and the candor they display when free from: official letters, is very seldom exhibited; in a more important place. How far; Mr. Gladstone remembers his own word, I am not able to say; but this much I1 can honestly aflirm, that in being the leading party to an expenditure of the frightful sum of £72,000,000, for the present year, and the far larger propor- tion of it for war purposes, it is obvious to the world that such a man evidently requires “somebody to look sharp after him. ” 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27.

Hiagetfiifi-W provincialism, no localizing accent, none of the mannerism which stamps the art that represents a. particular era; it is simple, natural, like life itself; it is intelligible to the meanest understanding, as well as fascinating to the highest. Jennie Deans, Caleb Balderstone, the Antiquary, Cuddie Headrigg, and Bal- four of Burley may all speak with a Scotch accent, but they express feelings common to all people and all generations. Therefore it is that Scott is more than Scotch, and that the festival of his cen- tonal-y must not be degraded by the spirit of‘provincialism which remembers, before all things, the place that gave him birth and the land that he has illumina- ted by the splendor of his genius. Time and philosophy may teach resig- nation unto heart‘s mode desolate by his coming; but they can never fill the va- cancy therein, when she that was our mot-her, no longer casts a halo about our darkened hearts. A mmher’s placeâ€"so loved, so wor- shipped~ once empty must be forever so. A breast once pal)ng by a mother’s death, no medicine can reach with healing. a reduction in the income tax; the “ Waverly Novels" are as geod to 'Scot- land as a yearly grant of half-amnion from the Imperial Exchequer. Whatl Ireland lacks is not “repeal ” or a lie-1 public, but at Walter Scott. An Irish “Lady of the Lake” would drain the; Bog of Allen; an Irish "Wevcrley’fl would be as valuable as a bed of coal ;‘ an Irish Walter Scott would abolish the wrongs of Ireland by the scribbling of his quill. The real wrongs of Ireland is that Scott is Scotch. But Scott is more than Scotch; he is English, French, German, or anything; He was one of those great intellectual forces who threw into the World of thought and daily life a crowd of new characters as real as the men and women whom we meet in the market place, and symbolical for all time of the thoughts, feelings, passions, emo- tions by which men are swayed. The mass of people are not mowed by the ab. stractions of pure thought. It is the poets and the novelists who produce the literature on which the reading world feeds. Homer, Dante, Cervantes, Shakespeare, represent the teachers who win the ear of mankind. They teach by parable, and therefore they never lack an audience. In that august hier- archy of creative genius Scott finds a foremost place. To him belonged that power of strong conception and simple representation which are the distinctive _!‘notes” of the dramatic work that is Death comes unsought to every board and at its spectral bidding some beloved one goes forth to his mysterious home. ‘ Few who have lost their first~ and dear.- est iriend, can read the following with unmoistened eyes :â€" Scott’s Brain has been more ialuable‘ to his country than a. mine of gold; Every afifiumn he draws from fiorth, south, east and west, a. crowd of men' ladenAwith curiosity and money Baws, who offer. tribute to king, Scott Wh‘eneVei‘ they .pay thal'superb hotel bills which form a distinctive feature of the country. Scott's brain sfipports half the hotels in Scotland; and it pays at- least half the taxes. “ The Heart of Midlothian” and “ The Lady of the Lake” are worth A Mother’s Death. Sir Walter Scott; ‘-‘ Now, brother farmers, I beg you will try blowing the obese out of your wheat for a few years, and I know you will never again say wheat produces chess. I wish you Messxs. Editors.would go up the Genesse Valley about seeding time, (I mean wheat sewing) and see that they sow clean wheat. I know that ‘ some of the best wheat growers in the leountry believe wheat that is damaged by the treading of horses or cattle, or nibbled off close by sheep, or fowls pro. duces chess. Now, I know they are mistaken. It is only because the wheat is killed, that the chess gets a better chance to grow. Those who sow chess, get chess ; those who do not sow it, do not get it.” “I have never had the pleasure of‘ calling on the gentlemen since, I have: thought I Should like to see his wheat, to ascertain if he raised chess. I have ‘seen him often since, but‘I never men- tioned ‘ chess” to him, as I knew he felt, a. little grieved at his obstinacy in not believing me. I have been thus partir eular in making a long story out 9f 9'. little matter, to try, if possible, to in~ duce men to clean their seed, so that there may be no ‘ more wheat turning to chess ;’ but as long as chess is in your neighborhood, you are always liable to' occasionally having a little. Your neighbors’ cattle may get on your follaws when they have been eating chafi' with chess in it, or swine when they have: been eating screenings of' Wheat with chess in it. You may in this way get chess from their droppings, but still that will only be a trifle. ” Some twelve er fourteen years 1136,- two farmers and myself went to' call on’ an enterprising farmer, not fifty miles ‘ from where I now write: We found him sowing wheat. He quit. his work, and politely showed us over his farm odt-build-‘ ings, 856., all of which were neat and well arrangedâ€"showed us what improve; ments he had made by underdrainin‘g, 3m, and asked us politely to stay to din- ner, which we declined, as We had other arrangements. We accompanied himi into the field where he had been at work,- and I put my hand in a bag of wheat and ‘took out a handful to look at it, but what was my surprise to find it full of chess! I said I was astonished to“ find a man of his reputation as a far‘mei’sow': ing chess. He looked me' right in the‘ eye, evidently irritated by my abrupt re- proof and said, ‘ How would you help it; when it was there?’ I told him I would2 blow it out. He looked up again eviâ€"7 dently a good deal irritated, and said, ‘ Neither you nor. any other man can‘ clean it out. He had a first-rate mill, and had put it four times through,» and yet there it was ;1 and he said he would‘ bet me one hundred dollars that I could not clean it outl’ I told him it Would)! not be justice in me toilet with him, as‘ I had done the same‘thing so often that‘ I knew I should have no dificulty in doing it ; but if he would take a bag 0t? ‘wheat to the barn, if I did not clean' out! ‘all the chess in going onoe through they jmill, I would pay him five dollhrs 2011} his trouble. He said ‘ done,’ and “00% the bag on his shoulder and started WE; butbefore he got out of'the" field he threw it down. saying he had ‘ plenty of the same kind in the granery. After going to the ham, 1 took off the shaking-rod of the fanning mill, and took out the riddles. We carried-the farmâ€"- ing mill into the granary, end I request-- ed one of my companions to turn the: mill steadily, not very fast, and not to stop until I notified him that it was all: out of the hopper. I put in the wheat, and we run through about two bushels.» The owner carried it to the barn floor, near the door, and all the three gentle-- men got on their knees, and examined it, and they could not find one chess seed.- After examining thoroughly, the owner rose from his knees, saying in a subdued tone, ‘ I see a man can never be too old- to learn, and I have learned something,- I then said, ‘Gentlemen, you had bet- ter look behind the millâ€"perhaps there? was no chess in the wheat l’ The owner’ said he knew ‘ there was plenty of chase in it. To make sure, I went and swept up behind the mill, and I should think I got at least four quarts of chess. The, owner then said, ‘ Gentlemen,your homes; shall go in and ’be fed, and you shall not leave until you take dinner. I have got paid for many dinners. So we dined ,, and got an excellent dinner, and left without saying ‘ chess’ again. It is sfippo‘sed by s‘oiné farmers that? wheaLactuzi‘llrmné-to chess in the pro- cess of groiving.
