HISTORY !ND TRAGEDY.
I have followed the moral teachings of a poet in those tragedies, which serve to show the salutary influences of sorrow, and the lessons of history give further confirmation. For what does history tell of half so much as of suffering? If science teaches that this earth of ours is a glittering planet, the records of history as surely teach that it rolls on stained with blood and with tears. So has it ever been, and the pages of his- tory which impress us most deeply are its tragedies. In all the annals of the ancient dynasty of Egypt, what is there like that tragic midnight moment, when all the first- born of the land were smitten-—‘‘ from the first-born of Pharoah that sat on his throne unto the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon?’ Thechronicles of Baby- lon have perished, and we bear in mind only that tragic hour, when there came forth the fingers of a man, and wrote upon the palace wall the prophecy of an empire’s doom. Turn to classic story, and what rises up to the memory more readily than the sacrifice in the tragic pass of Thermo- pyle ¢? Come to the annals of our father- land, and where have they a deeper interest than when the career of King Charles— him who had been the companion of the loose and profligate Villiers—him who had broken the covenant of the constitution— turned into tragedy, when gloom was gath- ering over his fortunes, from the day on which the royal standard was raised at Not- tingham only to be ominously cast down in a stormy and unruly night, until at length he made a bloody ztonement on the scaffold; and, as his corpse was borne to an unnoted grave, with no other funeral rite than silent loyalty, snow fell heavily but purely upon the black pall that covered his cotiin. Thus itis that history as well as poetry, shows what has been finely called ‘* the power and divinity-of suffering.” —Reed’s Lectures on English History.
HOMER’S FAME.
There is something inexpressibly strik- ing, it may almost be said awful, in the fame of Homer. Three thousand years have elapsed since the bard of Chios began to pour forth his strains ; and their reputa- tion, so far from declining, is on the in- crease. Successive nations are employed in celebrating his works; generation after generation of men are fascinated by his imagination. Discrepancies of race, of character, of institutions, of. religion, of age of the world, are forgotten in the com- mon worship of his genius, In this univer- sal tribute of gratitude, modern Europe vies with remote antiquity, the light Frenchman with the volatile Greek, the impassioned Italian with the enthusiastic German, the sturdy Englishman with the unconquerable Roman, the aspiring Rus- sian with the proud American. Seven cities, in ancient times, competed for the honor of having given him birth, but seventy nations have since been moulded by his productions. He gavea mythology to the ancients ; he has given the fine arts to the modern world. Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Minerva, are still household words in every tongue; Vulcan is yet the god of fire, Neptune of the ocean, Venus of love.
Juno is still our companion on moor- land solitudes; Hector the faithful guardian of our flocks and homes. The highest praise yet bestowed on
valoris drawn from comparison to the god of war; the most grateful compliment to beauty that she is encircled by the cestus of Venus. When Canova sought to embody his conceptions of heroes or loveliness, he portrayed the heroes of the Iliad. Flax- iman’s genius was elevated to the highest point in embodying its events. Lyric poets, in subsequent times, have done little more than imitate his machinery, copy his char- acters, adopt his similes, and, in a few in- stances, improve upon his description. Painting and statuary, for two thousand years, have been employed in striving to portray, by ihe pencil or the chisel, his yet breathing conceptions ; lan- guage and thought themselves have been moulded by the influence of his poetry. Images of wrath are still taken from Achilles, of pride from Agamemnon, of astuteness from Ulysses, of patriotism from Hector, of tenderness from Andromache, of age from Nestor. The galleys of Rome were—the line-of-battle ships of France and England still are—called after his heroes. The Agamemnon long bore the flag of Nel- son ; the Bellerophon combatted the gigan- tic Orient atthe battle of the Nile ; the Polyphemus was the third in the British line which entered the cannonade of Copen- hagen ; the Ajax perished by the flames within sight of the tomb of the Telamonian hero on the shores of the Hellespont ; the Achilles was blown up at the battle of Trafalgar. Alexander the Great ran around the tombof Achilles before undertaking the conquest of Asia. It was the boast of Napoleon that his mother reclined on tapestry, representing the heroes of the Tliad, when he was brought into the world. The greatest poets of ancient and modern times have spent their lives in the study of his genius or the imitation of his works. The drama of Greece was but an amplifica- tion of the disasters of the heroes of the Iliad on their return from Troy. The genius of Racine, Voltaire and Corneille, has been mainly exerted in arraying them in the garb of modern times. Parnassues is still the emblem of poetry: Olympus, of the council-seat of supreme power; Ida and the Cyprian Isle, of the goddess of love. The utmost exertion of all the arts combined on the opera stage is devoted to represent

‘To Invade Spain.
The New York Herald of the 16th inst., publishes the report of a conversation with a prominent army officer, telling of a plan made by Gen. Grant, in 1874, of an invasion of Spain by American troops. The idea grew out of the butchery of Ryan, the fillisbustering leader, and nearly 100 of his followers in Cuba. Gen. Grant was President at the time, and he is said to have made every preparation for hostilities in the event of Spain refusing the demands of the United States Government fer repar- ation for the barbarous execution of Ryan and his men.
Gen. Sheridan was tendered command ef the proposed invading army, with Gen, Meade as his chief staff. Grant's inten- tion was to rendezvous 50,000 veterans of the civil war, who were to be mobolized near New York, and a fleet was to be pre- pared to carry them across the Atlantic into two divisions. The idea was to pretend it was for service onthe Island of Cuba, but really to land on the shores of Spain and march inland to Madrid. Both Grant and Sheridan desmed the movement a feasible one, and had the United States de- clared war it would have been attempted. Some Salmon.
The captain of the schooner George E. Tibboo, on his last trip to the Grand Bank, reports that one of his dories, when overhaul- ing the bultows, took from one of them a splendid salmon, plump and in!good condition, which measured 4] inches in length and 19 in- ches in circumference at the thickest part. Its weight was close on 50 lbs. It had taken the bait on the hook just like an ordinary codfish. We believe it is a most unusual oc- currence for a salmon to be taken under such circumstances—-so far from the shore and on the hook employed in codfishing. It was a temale having an immense quantity of imma- ture roe. The weight of the largest ever tak- en, according to Farrell, was 83 lbs. and Pen-- nant mentions another only ten pounds less, These, however, were giants of the race, and extremely rare. In olden times, before the days of railways, when the rivers of Scotland were not over-fished, and the salmon were allowed time to grow to maturity, salmon 35 lbs. and even 40 Ibs. and 45lbs.in weight, Were not uncommon. Now, since the trade in fresh salmon, packed in ice, has reached such dimensions, the average weight of salmon taken in such rivers as the Tay, the Spey, and the Tweed, does not exceed 15 Ibs. The general run of the fish were formerly heavier than at present. The reason of this is not hard to find. Suchis the demand for salmon, that time is not given for them to grow to the full size. The greater portion now taken are from two to three years old, and range from 8 tu 16 lbs. in weight. Allow- ing that a salmon grows at the rate of 5 Ibs. per annum—a liberal estimate—then this one taken on the Grand Bank mnst have been ten years of age. ne He Got an Awful Twist.
An Irishman, living up three stories in 4 flat, was awakened a few nights ago by an alarm of fire. Jumping from his bed, he grabbed the first article of clothing he could find, it proving to be his pants, and putting himself inside of them as quickly as possi- ble, started to make his escape. In his hurry he did not notice that he had put his trousers on hindside before until he attempted to button them up. There was no time to change, so he fastened the top button over the small of his back as best he could. Rushing to the head of the stairs, he made a mis-step and down he went, rolling over and over, passed both landings without stopping, and brought up against the wheel of a hose cart at the curbstone. A policeman leaned over to assist him, asking himif he was much hurt.
‘Faith, an’ I dunno,” said the Irishman, getting to his feet and feeling of himself to ascertain, when, noticing the way his pants were on he said, evidently having had his memory .knocked out bim by his descent: ‘* Be jabers, an’ I must have got an awful twist.”—Chicago Herald. Moruers.— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth.
