Wrtiten for the Light.
“The Magazine of American His-
tory” is before me with its interest-
ing accounts of what the world is do-
ing now in this August of 1890 and
what it has done since the Puritans
landed.
Prosper Bender tells of the French
Canadians who still retain thefr old
costumes and' the soft queer patois
ot their native Gallic.
He describes to us the oue large
dish in the middle of the table filled
with savory stew and the family
method of eating each member there-
of soakiug in it his bread with the
pious exclamation “Deo Gratias!”
Another article gives us a glimpse
of Ohio and its early log cabins
where we should be so thankful not
to have lived although to such as ap-
preciate pioneer life there is a de-
lightful suggestion of quilting par-
ties harvest homes and the “golden
moon of long ago.”
Of the editor Mrs. Martha J. Lamb
the foremost woman historian of our
continent a personal sketch will be
given later.
Au old English novel was sent to
me this week called “Guy Living-
stone.” It belonged to a member of
the great Schuyler family and has
upon the fly-leaf the autograph of the
diplomat who died recently iu Con-
stantinople.
It abounds in racy things full of
genuine humor and the rather exag-
gerated pathos which marked the
early part of our century.
The author is evidently under the
impression that he is very bad in-
deed and when he makes the hero
(who is engaged by the way) kiss
anotlier girl he feels that he has re-
vealed the very extent of human
turpitude.
The tremendous fuss which results
from this rather bears him out iu his
conclusion.
One feels glad that the innocent
composer of such a plot probably died
before our modern realists took from
themselves and us the healthful
property of being shocked at any-
thing! An auecdote of the universi-
ty struck me as particularly fuuny.
One of the tutors was a disagreeable
man much hated by all the students.
The porter an old Irishman of wit
and tact had long declined to give
his opinion but one evening it was
beguiled from him.
“Why you see sir I'm only a ser-
vant and as such can’t speak freely
but I wish he was dead I do.”
Another novel of the week deals
with the question of “Wild Oats.” It
is no longer the fashion to settle any-
thing and the author does not try to
may out even a theory. There is a
leaking disposition to regard the
plant as indignious and some faint
advice as to having the crop In early
aud the ground well seeded after-
ward.
Poison oak is also indigiuous but
it receives no mercy at our hands.
Who can give a “raison d'etre” for
either? Who among us has failed to
sit at some middle-aged aud peaceful
banquet where the bitterest dish at
the feast was made from the product
of that mad harvest.
Now that Robert Browning has
gone to his grave iu Westminster
Abbey with the snows and honors of
eighty winters upon him shall we
not try to understand him.
Some message to the world of men
he must have had for his work is
left upon his generation.
I formed a little plan in regard to
this author some mouths ago and it
has worked very well.
The “obscure’’ has no ultra attrac-
tions for me aud it seemed preposter-
ous that this should be held as the
leading trait ot a successful poet.
“Robert Browning” I said to a
friend (my guide and counsellor as
well) is loved and praised for the
simple things he wrote.”
“Nonsense!” returned the friend
“find them for me!”
So I brought down my small blue
aud gold copy from the shelf.
“What are .you going to do?” in-
quired my friend.
“Read it aloud from cover to cover”
I replied triumphantly “Just as if it
were prose or a cook book! What we
can understand we will mark and
appreciate what we cannot we will
throw out of the window!”
Thus we started ou the poetical pil-
grimage and many a gem we picked
up by the way.
Oue wonders where he gained his
knowledge of a certain side of human
nature.
He has a “penchant for the tender
clinging women who suffer iu silence
until they die” like the swan with a
“death song” on their lips.
There is usually some man a very
grand creature indeed quite above
paying much attention to that sort of
thing and who ought to come to
griet!
Browning must have been a great
confidant of the sex or perhaps his
poet soul looked into the sweet ap-
pealing eyes and saw the sorrow be-
neath.
Swinburne and Rosetti chose wo-
men of another stamp as a rule who
were willing to give as well as take
and who rendered things lively not
to say maddening for their admirers.
Will the gentle reader permit the
quotation of two very clear and dra-
matic verses from Browning's pen:
APPEARANCES.
And so you found that poor room dull
Dark hardly to your taste my dear
Its features seemed tin beautiful:
But this I know—’twas there not
here
You plighted troth to me—the word

The Cleveland Plaindealer seek-
ing refuge from the logical consequen-
ces of democratic endorsement of Mr.
Blaine remarks:
“The Republican organs are iu a
quandary about Blaine. The order
has gone out to blast him because of
his reciprocity assault on the McKin-
ley tariff and the organs are hasten-
ing to obey the order. But they have
already enthusiastically boomed
Blaiue on his Behring Sea corres-
pondence and it would be awkward
to suddenly face about ou that Issue.
To blast or to boom is the conundrum
that worries them.”
It does puzzle the democracy amaz-
ingly to find out just where to plant
a'new Blaine lie. The Light is not
overburdened with cash but would
give a handsome sight draft for a
glimpse of that order. Blaine carries
too many guns for the democracy
and they are only trembling in their
boots for fear they may not be able
to upset some of his carriages.
The Topeka Capitol attempts to
reason out the Republican nomiua-
tion in 1992 from the votes of congress
in 1890. The Capitol draws the lino
too flue. It remarks:
“If the McKinley bill is passed
Blaine can not be the republican
candidate for president in 1892; and if
it is not it looks as though he will
have to be.”
Mr. Blaine’s opposition to the
schedules of the McKinley bill Is
mainly expressed in regard to sugar
and coffee. It is very possible that
the McKinley bill will pass and that
such measures of reciprocity will be
adopted as will reconcile the differ-
ences apparently existing between
the tariff bill and Mr. Blaine and
leave no ground whatever for the
prophecy of the Capitol If Mr.
Blaiue is only debarred from being
presidential candidate by his attitude
to the McKinley bill consider him
nominated.
