REACTIONARY.

Men’s words have substance and their thoughts have wings; Each thoueht reflects the mind from which it springs; All fonl-brained curses turn an evil brood. To vex their vicious author with their stings. The books of long dead Lord Monboddo say That once the beasts had language, hut that they Kept silence, fearing slavery." To-day The beast in language gives himself away. —Hugh Mann.
